FAQs

I’m sure you have questions, and we’ll discuss your specific needs and goals once you submit your information. Following are answers to some of the most common questions I’m asked.

Acne Clients

  • That depends, of course, on a wide variety of factors. But in general, I tell clients to expect it to take at least 90 days for their skin to clear, even if you follow the program exactly. Everyone’s skin is different, so this window may be shorter or longer for you. And it will depend on how faithfully you adhere to the complete regimen … so stick with it!

  • For most people, acne is controlled, not cured. That means you will need to continue using the products indefinitely. We will make adjustments along the way as your skin changes.

  • This varies depending on your specific needs, but it’s usually around $280 to start with the complete line of acne products. (Note that prices may vary and change over time). I also recommend that my acne clients see me once every two weeks for a treatment, and these start at $75 per visit.

  • It varies depending on how faithfully you use them and how much you use at each application, but this chart can give you a general idea of how long each product should last.

  • Yes! Many of my clients are away at college or can’t meet in person. I can treat you virtually and have products shipped directly to you wherever you are.

  • There are definitely diet and lifestyle changes that will be a part of your overall acne-clearing program. In some ways, this can be the most challenging part. I will explain everything carefully in your initial consultation and check your progress as we go. Your willingness to adhere to these recommendations will impact how much success you experience.

General Skincare Clients

  • Short answer? NOW! It’s never too early (or too late) to start taking care of your skin. Together, we can create a customized program that helps you move forward with confidence (and beautiful, healthy skin)!

  • Yes! While these techniques do have their place, in my experience it’s the day-in, day-out program and products you use at home that can really make a difference.

  • Absolutely. We can put together a plan that works for both your skin and budget. We can start small and add things along the way as your budget allows. I want great skin to be accessible to all!

  • Hands down, it’s sunscreen! Everyone needs sunscreen, every day … even if you’re inside all day. Sunscreens have come a looonnggg way. I have a few favorites that give you great protection without being thick or greasy. Some sunscreens even do double duty as a light foundation. Ask me!
