FACE REALITY FAQ
WHAT MAKES FACE REALITY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ACNE PROGRAMS I'VE TRIED BEFORE?
Face Reality takes a holistic approach to clearing acne. First, we believe that acne can be cleared without the use of prescriptions medications, such as Accutane and antibiotics. Second, I will consult with you about lifestyle choices that can effect your acne, both positively and negatively.
​
At your first appointment, we will do a consultation and your first treatment (if you chose). You will be sent home with skincare to use at home. We will see each other every two weeks to perform an acne treatment and adjust your at-home regimen.
​
Face Reality is unique because it is a partnership between the esthetician and the client. We both have to commit to doing our part in order for the program to be successful!
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MY FIRST FACE REALITY APPOINTMENT?
It depends whether you book just a consultation OR if you book a consultation and treatment together. At your first appointment, we will:
1. analyze your skin and acne
2. teach you everything you need to know about acne, including information regarding products, diet, medications, etc.
3. take preliminary photos
4. test your skin for sensitivities
5. recommend the best products for your skin and acne and show you exactly how to use the products at home
6. perform an acne treatment (if booked), which includes exfoliation and extractions
WHAT ARE THE FACE REALITY TREATMENTS LIKE?
We either perform a very mild chemical peel or a gentle enzyme peel on your skin. The esthetician will determine which of these is most appropriate for your skin. Generally speaking, neither of these is uncomfortable or will make your skin visibly peel or there might be very mild flaking. We will also perform extractions of your acne.
HOW LONG DO FACE REALITY TREATMENTS TAKE?
The first appointment is scheduled for about an hour and a half. Subsequent appointments are scheduled for 45-60 minutes. As your skin starts to become more clear, treatments will take less and less time.
DO EXTRACTIONS HURT?
Most people find that there is a slight discomfort, but it's very tolerable. We can always take a break if you feel like you need it. You are welcome to bring headphones for music.
ARE EXTRACTIONS NECESSARY?
Extractions are the fastest way to get your skin clear! We extract the current lesions out and your home care products prevent the new acne lesions from forming. It takes up to 90 days for acne for form and come to the surface, so in the three months that we are working with you, you will have some breakouts. These are just old lesions coming to the surface that we extract every two weeks.
HOW MUCH DO FACE REALITY PRODUCTS & TREATMENTS COST?
Typically, your initial set of products to take home will cost between $130 - $150. The active products are in smaller bottles and will be strengthened at different points in your treatment plan. Each acne treatment is $95. It typically takes about 6 treatments over a 3-month period of time to see results.
​
Your first appointment will cost $75 for consultation only, or $135 for consultation plus your first acne treatment (what most people do).
IS FACE REALITY ONLY FOR MY FACE?
No! Face Reality can also treat acne on the chest, back, and arms.
