As a professionally licensed esthetician and Certified Acne Specialist I will work alongside you or your teen as we establish a new routine that combines professional acne treatments with a custom home-care routine that gives you the tools and instructions needed to achieve clear skin.
It can be controlled with the right combination of products used in the correct way.
Just as in a clogged drain, the pore must be treated with products that unclog it and kill the acne bacteria. Lux Skin Lab has what you need to do just this.
Lux Skin Lab will have your acne under control in about 12 to 16 weeks depending on your type of acne. It combines the power of pharmaceutical-grade homecare products that are customized for your type of acne and skin with a series of bi-monthly treatments that facilitate the clearing of your skin. You will be taught about other aggravating factors that make you break out – foods, medications, cosmetics, stress, and common ingredients in skin care formulations that might be clogging your pores (even professional and prescription products!).
If you are under 18, we require that you are accompanied by your parent or guardian during your first appointment. Until your skin is clear, you will be seen in our office every two weeks. Seeing you every two weeks and treating your acne with professional strength products and modalities will help clear difficult acne. As you progress through boot camp, we will reassess your skin and identify the most corrective course of treatment. You may receive an enzyme or chemical peel, extractions, hydration or other treatments to smooth uneven texture and reduce redness from old acne, while keeping new acne from developing.
Because your daily home care routine is a critical part of becoming clear, you will also continue to receive ongoing coaching on home-care protocol, diet and lifestyle at every visit.
NOTE: The cost of your custom home-care products is not included in the initial assessment or subsequent facials. Expect to invest around $250 for the home-care products needed to complete your boot camp. Compliance with home-care products is REQUIRED in order to receive treatments and see results.
