The initial investment on products is $150-$200. Most of the products will last roughly 8-12 weeks depending on the product and the regimen that you are placed on. The active ingredient products are purposefully put in smaller containers as these will be strengthened at different points in your treatment plan. The cost of treatments are $85. It typically takes about six treatments over a 3-month period of time to see results. We have series of three treatments starting at $230 or six for $460. If you come in for just a consultation, the cost is $75. If you come in for a consultation and treatment, which is what most people do, the cost is $125.

FAQs | Face Reality Acne Clinic

Q: Why do the extractions?

It’s the fastest way to get you clear – we extract the current lesions out and the home care prevents the new ones from forming. It takes up to 90 days for acne to form and reach the surface of your skin, so in the 3-4 months that we are working with you, you will see breakouts. These are just old lesions coming to the surface that we will extract every two weeks.

Q: Do I have to use your products?

Yes, this is part of our program. There are too many brands in the marketplace that have pore-clogging ingredients in them. To ensure clear skin, we recommend using our products alone. Acne is tricky enough to treat – we do not want to take any chances with other potentially harmful or comedogenic products.

Q: Do I have to get treatments?

Yes. If you live close enough to the clinic, it is in your best interest to get acne treatments from us. That is the fastest way to get clear; and also helps us to monitor your home care to get you clear in the safest and fastest way possible.

Q: Do we take insurance?

No, we do not take traditional insurance. You can use your Health Spending Account (HSA) at Face Reality. If you have a Flex Spending plan, you will need to submit a receipt of treatments. We recommend that you check with your insurance company to be sure and understand what is in your schedule of benefits.

Q: How does our system work?

Our program works by taking into account the type of acne you have, the type of skin you have and how fast your skin adapts to products. We keep pushing the skin to clear with products that penetrate the pore where acne starts. We don’t push it past its tolerance however, because we don’t want your skin to become dry and irritated. Our products prevent the new acne lesions from forming; we extract the existing acne lesions out and in about 3-4 months your acne is under control.
