How long does it take to get clear skin?
While many clients see an improvement in their skin within the first month, it usually takes about 6 treatments over a 3-4 month period of time to get at least 90% clear. This is because it takes 30-90 days for existing acne impactions to make their way to the surface.
How often should I come in for Acne Treatment?
In order to get clear as fast as possible, we recommend coming in for acne treatment every 2 weeks during the first few months to exfoliate the skin, make extractions of acne plugs as they surface, hydrate the skin, adjust your home regimen and diminish post-inflammatory pigmentation and acne scars.
Why do you adjust home care routine every 2 weeks?
Acne skin has the ability to adapt to products. We want to strengthen your homecare routine every two weeks to stay ahead of your skin’s ability to adapt and keep pushing your skin to get clear. If you are unable to come in that often, we’ll still get you clear, it will just take longer.
