How it works

What causes breakouts

Acne isn’t one thing. It can be hormonal, bacterial, or inflammatory — and each type responds to a different approach. The first step is identifying which kind we’re treating.

For congestion and bacteria — blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores — we use deep clinical extractions, chemical exfoliation, and light therapy to clear the pores and calm acne-causing bacteria.

For deep, painful cystic acne, the focus shifts to settling inflammation, regulating oil, and repairing the skin barrier so breakouts happen less often.

“My acne flared up earlier this year, and with my wedding coming up I was so stressed. Lauren made me feel heard the whole way, and adjusted treatments based on how my skin was doing each time. My skin looks so much better than it did three months ago — I’m beyond grateful.”

Good to know

Questions, answered

Do you pop or extract cysts?
At-home “popping” causes tissue damage and can lead to permanent scarring. In the clinic, we perform sterile medical extractions on blackheads and whiteheads that are ready to be cleared. We don’t force deep, unready cysts, since that worsens inflammation.
How long does it take to clear active acne?
Acne clearing is a biological process, not an overnight fix. You’ll usually notice improvement after the first session, but it typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent treatments plus a medical-grade home routine for lasting results.
Will treatments make me purge?
Sometimes, yes. Peels and advanced exfoliation speed up cell turnover, which brings congestion that was already trapped deep in the skin up to the surface. This “purge” is temporary and part of the clearing process.
Do you treat body acne?
Yes. Body acne on the chest, shoulders, or back is common. We offer Back Facials and Back Peels designed for the thicker skin in these areas to clear breakouts and reduce post-inflammatory marks.
Can I use my prescription creams before a treatment?
If you use active prescription topicals like Retin-A, Tretinoin, Epiduo, or high-percentage acids, we ask you to stop 3 to 5 days before your treatment to prevent excess irritation and barrier damage.
