ACNE MANAGEMENT CONSULTATION + TREATMENT
This introductory service is dedicated to new clients struggling with acne who are looking for clear solutions.
We will begin our session with an in-depth consultation that breaks down what acne is, how it is formed, and examine certain intrinsic factors (such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, stress levels, immune system) with extrinsic factors (such as sleep, nutrition, environmental pollutants, lifestyle habits, cosmetics, improper skincare regimen, medications, etc.) that may be aggravating or prolonging your breakouts.
During our session, we’ll create a personalized plan that includes in-studio corrective treatments, a fully customized homecare regimen, and nutritional guidance to support long-term acne healing from within. For individuals who regularly experience breakouts around their menstrual cycle, we offer period-synced treatments tailored to address hormonal acne flare-ups. Depending on which phase of your menstrual cycle you may be in (Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulation, Luteal), we can proactively plan our treatments according to the natural fluctuations of your skin. By syncing our approach to your unique rhythm, we can optimize results and keep breakouts at bay, no matter the time of the month. All of this and more will be covered during your consultation with us!
After our in-depth consultation, we will perform an introductory treatment that closely mimics our Botanical Healing Treatment. Acne is an inflammatory condition at its core, and this specialty Korean treatment uses a corneotherapeutic approach to gently reduce redness, target acne-causing bacteria, and repair the skin barrier without irritation. This treatment also targets secondary skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, and post-inflammatory erythema/hyperpigmentation by reducing inflammation and balancing the microbiome.
This Korean-inspired therapy features powerful ingredients like Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex to soothe inflammation and support healing, Allantoin to calm and soften the skin, and Centella Asiatica (Cica) to strengthen and repair the barrier. Professional-grade LED light therapy further enhances its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, making it a powerful yet gentle solution for compromised or reactive skin. The Botanical Healing Treatment sets the tone for future treatments, where we’ll build upon its benefits with Advanced Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) or Korean Clarity Peels for successful acne management. For those whose primary concerns may be addressing hyperpigmentation, eczema/dermatitis, rosacea, enlarged pores, or minor atrophic scarring, you may be directed towards one of our other treatment options for best results.
Please keep in mind that these are not massage or spa-like facials. The main focus of treatments is correction and education.
Enjoy a complimentary Skin Rescue Hand Treatment during your first visit—perfect for those with eczema, dermatitis, or dry, irritated, cracked skin on their hands! This restorative hand therapy is designed to deeply hydrate, soothe irritation, and strengthen the skin barrier with a blend of biome-balancing ingredients, calming botanical extracts, and intensive moisture therapy. If you love it, you can add it to any future treatment for just $15. View a video highlight of this add on service here.
Adhering to a curated home care regimen for a minimum of 2 weeks is required before booking any advanced corrective treatments. The cost of homecare is separate from the initial consultation and treatment. We recommend budgeting approximately $150-$200 USD for your advanced corrective homecare regimen. Products should last at least 3 months with recommended usage.
Typically the process of clearing acne can take between 3-6 months, or longer (9-12 months) depending on the complexity of skin condition. After the acne is under control consistently, we can begin targeting hyperpigmentation and scarring. You will then have the option to continue with maintenance treatments after the skin has cleared and your goals have been achieved. This journey will be a commitment that requires hard work and patience on both ends, but we promise to never give up on someone who puts their trust in us. We hope to assist you on your journey to healthier skin!
