What Is the Right Approach for Your Acne?

Personalized acne care built around consistency—not a one-time treatment.

A Good Fit

This approach is designed for teen and adult acne, including congestion, blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed or hormonal breakouts, sensitivity and post-acne marks. It is best suited for clients who are ready to follow a consistent plan. Treatment is not appropriate during isotretinoin use.

Homecare First

Acne care begins with a balanced medical-grade home routine because that is what supports the skin every day. In-studio treatments are added where they can help accelerate progress, using exfoliation, peels, calming masks and skilled extractions. Each treatment is adjusted to your skin, with inflammation and sensitivity addressed before moving into more corrective care.

Menu & Prices

Acne Recovery Facial

A gentle, restorative starting point for acne-prone skin that is sensitive, reactive or showing signs of a weakened barrier. The treatment is adjusted to what your skin can comfortably manage and may include light extractions where appropriate. The goal is to calm the skin, restore balance and create a healthier foundation for the next stage of treatment.

$195 · 75 min

Acne Clearing Treatment

A more active, customized treatment for congested or persistent acne. The multi-layered approach is adjusted to what the skin needs that day, helping to clear buildup, support more thorough extractions and improve how the skin functions. The treatment is finished with calming hydration so the skin feels clear, settled and healthy. Some mild post-treatment shedding may occur, but this is not the same peeling process as a Corrective Glow Peel.

Clear Skin Recovery Treatment

A restorative treatment for acne-prone skin that is stressed, sensitized or slow to heal. The approach is customized and layered to gently refresh the skin, support circulation and calm visible inflammation without pushing the skin too far. It is especially useful when the barrier needs support and works well between more corrective treatments.

Clear & Bright Treatment

A refreshing treatment for skin that looks congested, dull or uneven. Your treatment is selected and layered according to what the skin needs that day, with light extractions where appropriate, followed by calming hydration. It is a good choice for helping acne-prone skin recover, or whenever you want the skin to look clearer, brighter and healthier.

$225–$250 · 60 min

Corrective Acne Peel Program

For acne-prone skin that is ready for a more corrective approach. This multi-layered protocol combines different preparation layers with the peel itself, allowing the treatment to work more strategically on congestion, uneven texture, post-acne marks and recurring breakouts while continuing to support the health of the skin. A starting series of three treatments is generally recommended when the goal is a more complete and lasting result.

Questions

About acne treatments

I have tried everything. Why could this be different?

Medical-grade skincare can be the turning point. The difference is a carefully selected and balanced routine, professional direction and ongoing adjustment rather than another isolated product.

Can you help if my skin is sensitive and breakout-prone?

Yes. Sensitivity and barrier disruption are considered when the routine is built. Acne-focused ingredients are balanced with calming, hydrating support and introduced according to tolerance.

Why is my acne-prone skin also dry?

Acne-prone skin can also be dehydrated or barrier-impaired, particularly after unsuccessful or overly drying routines. The goal is to treat congestion without stripping the skin.

Can you help with adult acne?

Yes. Adult acne is common and can be influenced by hormones, stress, lifestyle, product selection and skin-barrier health. The plan is built around the individual skin rather than age alone.

How long can acne take to improve?

Timelines vary. Some clients see early change within weeks, while more persistent acne can take several months of consistent homecare and, where useful, regular treatment.

What is the foundation of an acne program?

Daily homecare comes first. A carefully balanced combination of cleansing, targeted ingredients, hydration and sunscreen is selected for the skin. In-studio treatments are added where they can help.

What should I do with a stubborn or inflamed breakout?

Avoid squeezing or picking. Continue the routine as directed and ask for guidance if the area is painful, persistent or worsening.

Is salicylic acid useful for acne?

Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and helps clear excess oil and congestion within the pores. The appropriate product and frequency depend on the rest of the routine and the skin's tolerance.

Should oily skin still use moisturizer?

Yes. Oil and hydration are different. The right lightweight moisturizer can support the skin barrier without feeling heavy or clogging pores.
