When Brianna first came to us, she had already tried several topical solutions and professional treatments to clear her skin. These only left her skin sensitized and breakouts more severe.
In her consultation, we knew a gentle, corrective approach was necessary to start clearing the acne without compromising her barrier or darkening pigmentation. We went over how to stop feeding bacteria, discussed the hormonal aspects of acne, and reviewed the role stress and diet play in inflammation of the skin as well.
Products appropriate for both folliculitis and acne were a must, along with products to nourish and feed the skin barrier. At every check-in, we adjusted her homecare to continue clearing the skin, and it responded beautifully. Once the active acne was mostly cleared, we put a focus on pigmentation. After four months, her skin was clear, healthy, and radiant! Brianna is now on maintenance homecare to keep it that way.
