More than 60 million Americans suffer from some form of acne breakouts. Acne affects more than 80% of all teenagers at some time in their lives, and clogged pores comprise more than 25% of all visits to the dermatologist. Acne has hit epidemic proportions in adults, especially women. What used to be just a teenage problem is now a real challenge in people’s lives.

First, let’s bury common acne myths:

• Acne is not due to dirty skin.

• Acne is not due to eating greasy food.

• Acne does not only affect teens.

Face Reality is an award-winning acne brand that offers the most comprehensive acne training to skincare professionals so they can identify and treat even the most stubborn acne cases using Face Reality’s holistic treatment protocols.

Your Face Reality Certified Acne Specialist will establish a home care routine based on your skin and acne type. As experts, they will make necessary adjustments throughout the treatment process. Additionally, your Acne Specialist will customize each treatment appointment based on the condition of your skin at the time. Our program is designed to treat all types of acne grades 1 - 4 (mild to severe non-inflamed, inflamed, cystic acne, hormonal acne, acne rosacea, teen acne, mature or adult acne and back acne) without the use of prescription drugs. We use Face Reality Skincare which is a tried and true system of the best anti-acne products and treatments. We customize an effective clear-skin plan just for you.

Our Acne Treatment Program uses a comprehensive approach to treat acne. We combine the power of acne treatments with professional acne care products, and the guidance and expertise of a certified acne skincare specialist. All treatment and product selection are determined on an individual basis. What works for one person may not work for another. For this reason, we keep an eye on how your skin responds – making modifications to your treatment plan as needed. This initially requires an office visit every two weeks for several months. Once your acne is under control, you will need to maintain your daily skincare regimen. To keep your skin healthy, follow up appointments are recommended for a monthly deep cleanse facial with professional products.

Acne is a disease of the pores. It can be caused by certain drugs, medications or exposure to chemicals but most acne is an inherited tendency. Dead skin cells shed too quickly in the acne-prone pore, forming a plug along with sebum and hair. This is where the problem begins. If the body doesn’t see the plug as an invader, it remains as a non-inflamed lesion, also known as a blackhead. If it does, the plug turns into pimples, pustules and cysts. This entire process can take up to 90 days.

Your acne can be controlled through the continued use of Face Reality products and corrective in-clinic treatments. In as little as 12 weeks, you will see a dramatic improvement in your overall complexion. Many people see significant results in the first month. Once your acne is under control, it’s important to follow your Face Reality regimen to keep your skin clear. Unfortunately, acne cannot be cured, only controlled.

Schedule a consultation! Your Acne Specialist will analyze your skin, then design a product and treatment regimen specifically for your skin and acne type.

Products alone will not solve your acne problem. Let your Face Reality Certified Acne Specialist guide you to clear skin!
