You are not required to enroll in our Acne Bootcamp program. Through our Acne Consultation, you can gain valuable insights into your acne, including what causes or worsens it. You will also receive beneficial recommendations to help you achieve clearer skin. However, we strongly suggest that you consider investing in our recommended home care regimen, which is a vital aspect of achieving clear skin. This regimen comprises 4 to 6 products, and its cost varies based on your acne type, with a minimum investment of $200-$400 for the complete routine (rather than individual items). You will receive detailed pricing information during your Acne Consultation.

The cost of the Acne Bootcamp will differ depending on the type and severity of your acne, as well as your level of commitment to the recommended lifestyle adjustments. We offer membership pricing that can help you save money on both treatments and products. To establish a complete home care regimen, you will need to make a minimum investment of $200-$400, which covers the entire routine, not just a single product. At your Acne Consultation, we will provide you with detailed pricing information.

The power of good skin care is often underestimated by people. It's crucial to choose the right skin care products that suit your acne and skin type. Surprisingly, your current skin care products may actually be worsening your acne as they often contain ingredients that trigger breakouts, which we will assess during the Acne Consult.

To achieve clear skin, our recommended home care regimen is tailored to your unique skin and acne type. We offer clinical-grade products that are free from pore-clogging ingredients. Our entire product line is specially designed for acne-prone skin and plays a critical role in achieving a clearer complexion.

During the Acne Bootcamp, some clients may undergo a process called purging. However, experiencing purging does not indicate that the program is ineffective. Rather, it implies that your skin has had acne forming under the surface all along, and your new product routine is accelerating the breakout process. Fortunately, once the breakouts surface, our products and treatments can assist in eliminating them.

It's worth noting that every client's skin is unique, and not everyone will experience purging. But for those who do, it's a normal part of the acne-clearing process, and we assure you that you'll get through it.

We have successfully assisted clients who have undergone two rounds of Accutane or antibiotics. Unfortunately, for some individuals, acne returns after completing medication.

Acne is a hereditary condition that affects the pores. In acne-prone skin, dead skin cells accumulate within the pores at a significantly faster rate than in healthy skin. While a healthy pore sheds one layer of dead skin cells per day, acne-prone pores can shed up to five layers per day. This phenomenon is known as "retention hyperkeratosis," whereby dead skin cells shed more quickly than the pore can expel them. Antibiotics are unnecessary for addressing this issue.

Since acne is mainly caused by excessive dead skin cells, the solution is to use products that penetrate and unclog the pores while preventing future buildup of dead skin cells, thereby preventing the formation of new acne. Antibiotics only target bacteria associated with acne and do not address the primary issue of retention hyperkeratosis.

You may have multiple acne triggers, including your diet, habits, medications/supplements, and pore-clogging ingredients in your skin care products. Antibiotics only address one aspect of acne and do not target these other triggers. In our Acne Bootcamp, we will assess all of your acne triggers and provide recommendations for lifestyle changes.

While Accutane and prescription acne medications may be effective for some individuals, taking them long term is unsafe due to the significant side effects. These side effects include the risk of birth defects, depression, psychosis, Crohn's disease, internal organ damage, muscle and bone loss, central nervous system damage, and immune system disorders. In contrast, the side effects of our acne treatments are minimal, typically limited to occasional dry skin that can be resolved with moisturizer.

The acne treatments provided during our Acne Bootcamp can help lighten PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) or dark spots resulting from acne. However, if you have pitted acne scarring, you will probably need a series of microneedling sessions after your acne has cleared. Please note that if you still have active acne, you cannot undergo microneedling. It is essential to address the underlying cause of the hyperpigmentation/dark spots by resolving your acne first.

While our program is not primarily focused on dietary changes, your acne specialist will discuss certain foods that may exacerbate the severity of your breakouts. We will provide you with a straightforward list of key foods that could be problematic for acne-prone skin, enabling you to make informed decisions about your dietary choices. We highly recommend that you consider cutting back on these foods.
