Acne is an inherited condition where pores shed cells quicker than the body can expel them. While typical pores shed one layer of skin cells a day, acne-prone pores shed up to five layers a day — this is called retention hyperkeratosis. There are certain foods, supplements, lifestyle choices, and ingredients that can induce or exacerbate acne breakouts on acne-prone individuals, but do not cause acne.

This program may be a fit for you if…

-Accutane was not successful for you.
-Your acne affects your confidence.
-You feel as though you have tried everything for your acne, even medications, but have not seen the results you wanted.

You must be off of accutane for at least six months before your in-office visit.
Two weeks prior to your visit you must stop all other acne medications that may include, but are not limited to: differin, tretinoin, antibiotics (topical and internal), and benzoyl peroxide. Feel free to email me at valerie@vskinstudio.com or text at (920)460-9636 to clear any medications or topical products.

Adherence and cooperation to this program is vital to reach clear skin.

With this program a home care regimen is required to purchase, expect to spend at least $100 on home care in the beginning, in addition to treatments every two weeks.

Clients, on average, become clear in 3 - 4 months with diligent home care, adjusting their lifestyle choices accordingly, and receiving their treatments every two weeks. However, there will be instances where clients experience a shorter or longer time-frame to become clear, this is normal and everyone will have a different journey to clear skin.
If you achieve clarity within your series package, the remaining balance will go towards your future services.

There is no concrete cure for acne, but it is manageable. The specified home care recommended to you will be a vital part of maintenance and keeping you clear, and will be required indefinitely.
1-3 acne lesions a month is normal, and should clear relatively quickly, however if you experience more breakouts with a longer healing time you may need to repeat the series or have your home care adjusteded.
