Who is our Face Reality acne treatment protocol for?

This protocol is designed for anyone with moderate to advanced acne, regardless of age or cause of acne.

What is involved in our acne treatment protocol?

Our acne protocol begins with a consultation and can include treatment that day. During your consultation we develop a picture of your lifestyle and unique needs. We offer insight and education on elements of your lifestyle, diet, and supplements that could be contributing to acne. We ask that you commit to purchasing the recommended products on the day of your first treatment as well as follow-up treatments every 2-4 weeks, depending on your needs. Your treatments will include advanced exfoliants (ranging in assertiveness) and extractions to facilitate faster resolution and healing.

How long until I see results?

You will start to notice improvement soon after treatment and we will take photos at each appointment to help us track change. The process is gradual, with most people seeing visible results in 90 days and achieving clarity around the 4-5 month time period.

Will I still break out during treatment?

Yes, and it’s all part of the process. Acne begins months before you see it on your skin, which is why you will see “new” breakout even after you begin treatment.

what if I don’t see results?

You and your provider will consult about options at your first treatment and will continue the conversation throughout your time with us. Our goal is to help you get clear using methods in your comfort zone. We have an excellent track record of clearing advanced acne in our clinic but there are many factors to consider with acne.

What products are used and recommended?

We use Face Reality in our in office treatments and recommend them for your home care.

Will I need to use Face Reality products forever?

You will always have choice over what products you use. However, many of our clients find that they enjoy the products even after they’re clear. It is important to consider that the root cause of your acne may not have been addressed and the products are successfully managing your acne. Sometimes clients are able to venture outside of Face Reality without experiencing remission and sometimes they can’t. It is unique and individual.

How much does should I plan to spend on products to get started?

Your treatment cost and initial product purchase is around $350. We offer a 20% product discount when you purchase the system to help get you started.

I’ve used other acne clearing systems in the past without success. What is different about your method?

The Face Reality treatment system has a 90% success rate. One of the most important differences with our system is that you have a certified acane expert guiding you during the process. Many treatment methods only include products and do not include in-office treatments and ongoing support after you purchase them, which can lead to confusion, and often times, inconsistency and noncompliance. Face Reality is a dedication acne-safe and acne treatment line of products which is important because it means that all of their research dollars go into education for the service provider and making their products more effective. Many products that are commonly used to treat acne contain ingredients that actually contribute to inflammation and breakout. If you’ve used everything from over the counter products to Rx treatments without success it is not necessarily true that you can’t have success with our protocol. Our experts adapt your treatments and routine to evolve with your skin’s needs.

Can I just have treatments without purchasing products?

We rarely deny service and only do so when we feel it’s in the best interest of our client, so it is possible. We don’t recommend it because it is unlikely that you will see results if you’re not supporting your skin with appropriate at home care.

Can I purchase products without having treatments?

Yes, in office treatments are not required for you to use the product regimen. You will see increased clarity faster when you pair the products with in office treatments. In office treatments also allow for regular consultation and adjusting as necessary.

Are your products “clean”?

Yes! All Face reality products are cruelty free and considered non-toxic.
