WE'RE "ACNE DETECTIVES"
When your skin is not getting clear in the typical amount of time for your acne type, we must become “acne detectives” to discover what may be hindering your progress. There are several areas that we review to determine how we can make improvements to your treatment plan. Often, simple changes to your product usage and lifestyle habits can dramatically improve your skin. Listed below are the most common reasons why individuals have difficulty getting clear.
PRODUCT USAGE
Using your home care products correctly and consistently has the most impact in getting your skin clear. We facilitate the process with treatments including extractions and 80% of the clearing process is doing your home care routine as instructed. Here are some reasons you may not be clearing related to product usage:
- Do you use your products inconsistently or do you skip your routine?
- Do you run out of products regularly?
- Do you check in to adjust your routine at two-week intervals if you cannot come in for an acne treatment?
- Do you change your routine without consulting your Acne Expert
- Are you using non-Face Reality products?
LIFE STYLE ISSUES
Here are several lifestyle issues that were in your consultation packet that are worth reviewing. These may be contributing to your chronic breakouts:
- Are you using fabric softener in the washer and/or the dryer?
- Are you consuming dairy/soy products? Start a food journal and track what you are ingesting.
- Are you taking vitamins or supplements that may contain iodides and/or biotin?
- Are you under more stress than usual and/or getting enough sleep?
- Are you on birth control pills or other birth control methods that are more often associated with exacerbating acne?

MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT
Microneedling stimulates your body's natural ability to generate new collagen, which can take up to 6-9 months to see results. Fine sterile needles create small punctures in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, which leads to the release of growth factors.
Microneedling is great for:
Acne Scarring
Microneedling kick starts the body's natural healing ability and can treat acne scars while improving the texture of your skin.
Fine Lines
By creating micro-punctures in the skin, this treatment can repair damaged collagen, and reduce fine lines.
Stretch Marks
Microneedling helps your body produce elastin and collagen, which improves skin hydration & elasticity for a youthful appearance.
