Acne is an inherited disorder of the pores – pores that shed dead skin cells much faster than normal. Normal pores shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore. The acne-prone pore sheds up to five layers of dead skin cells per day and the body just can’t keep up. This forms the microcomedone, the beginning of all acne. Taking up to 90 days, it turns into blackheads or congestion under the skin; or if bacteria is present (which just loves to feed on the dead skin cells and oil), it turns into inflamed pimples or pustules and maybe even cysts.

Because it takes up to 90 days for acne to form, you may still have 90 days of acne that will surface. Our acne products and protocol will keep the new acne from forming that would surface 90 days from now. The Acne Bootcamp will have your acne under control in about three to six months (in most cases) depending on your type of acne. 

Acne Bootcamp is a bi weekly appointment commitment (Until congestion is better) and then every 3-4 weeks depending on the goal trying to achieve.

For example: Balancing the skin may require a few days, a few weeks and in some cases maybe a month. Sometimes when we introduce a new product, I find that if I give it a bit more time we tend to see more noticeable results.

I also find that by doing a few hydrating treatments in the beginning I have more success in building a stronger skin barrier. I then do peels to correct pigmentation and stimulate collagen. 

I believe in the 80/20 rule where 80% is homecare and 20% is treatment. Lifestyle, homecare and hormones play a huge role in the clearing process. My job is to understand, find triggers, do proper extractions and come up with the best treatment plan during and after bootcamp.

There are 2 packages a series of 6 treatments $630 and 9 treatments is $855. 

They might include LED if time permits. 

Microdermabrasion can de added for an additional $50 per treatment. 

You can also add a back treatment for an additional $70 per treatment.

Continue to use your home care products just as you have been using them. This is critical, and the single most important thing you can do to remain clear! Remember, acne is never cured, only controlled. It's the faithful use of your products that will keep it controlled. Come in to see me for a professional treatment every two or three months to keep your skin optimally healthy and exfoliated.

If acne scars are a concern. First Microneedling or Microchanneling is not allowed for estheticians to perform in california. Nonetheless during Acne Bootcamp towards the end, If the skin permits I might be a bit more aggressive on the peels to stimulate collagen and repair the skin. I found this to be very useful in scar revision. Vitamin A or a stronger serum is also recommended for homecare use. I also offer Rezenerate and microcurrent treatments that are great add ons for your treatments during or after the clearing process. 

Finally, I find so much passion in treating acne. During your treatment, I might ask questions regarding products being used and if any reactions. The face reality line has been amazing in my skin studio. I work hard to understand the products and see what benefits my client. Every treatment is result driven and customized to what you need during your appointment.

I am always available for my clients. Any questions or concerns I'm only a text or call away. MARIA GOMEZ (669) 350-5089
