Book your facialWhy clients come to us for acne
Clearing acne takes more than one facial. It takes a skilled eye to understand why you break out, extractions done thoroughly without damaging the skin, and steady follow-through. Our estheticians are skilled with every skin tone and type, from preteens to adults, and acne is the concern we see most.
Your clear skin plan
- Skin analysis. We look at your breakouts, triggers, routine and history at your first acne facial.
- Treat. Deep cleansing, expert extractions, calming care and, when it helps, blue LED light or a professional peel.
- Home routine. A short, realistic routine to follow between visits.
- Follow through. Visits every two weeks while skin is active, then every four to six weeks to keep it clear.
The most committed way to clear acne is our Acne Bootcamp: your $199 Face Reality home regimen with your first acne facial on us, then treatments every two weeks for $149 a month, with a 3-month commitment.

acne questions, answered
Can an esthetician really help acne?
Yes. Regular acne facials clear congestion, reduce active breakouts and help prevent new ones, especially with a consistent home routine. For severe or cystic acne, we work alongside your dermatologist.
How many acne facials will I need?
Most clients see real change after three to four facials spaced two to four weeks apart. Your esthetician will recommend a plan at your first visit.
Do you treat acne on all skin tones?
Yes. Our estheticians treat acne and post-acne marks on every skin tone and skin type.
Do you treat tweens and teens?
Yes, for from age 10, including hormonal acne.
Can I treat acne while on Accutane?
Gentle acne facials can be adjusted, but peels, microneedling and dermaplaning wait until six months after isotretinoin. Tell us about any prescriptions on your intake form.
Will extractions hurt or scar?
Extractions are done carefully and only where skin is ready, to clear congestion without damaging the skin. Most clients find them very manageable.
Serious about your skin. Big on relaxation.
