Frequently Asked Questions
General
Where are you located?
I'm based in Phoenix, Arizona. If you’re local, you can visit the studio for in-person treatments, or if you’re out of town, you can work with me virtually.
What makes you different from other aestheticians?
I'm a Licensed Aesthetician, Face Reality Certified Acne Expert, and Acne Ambassador with years of experience helping clients achieve clear, healthy skin. My own acne journey fuels my passion to educate, support, and guide clients every step of the way.
Do you only treat acne?
No. While acne is my specialty, I also treat concerns like sensitivity, pigmentation, scarring, and signs of aging. Services are customized for all skin types and goals.
How do I know which service is right for me?
The best way to get started is by booking a consultation. This allows me to assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.
What products do you use in treatments?
I work exclusively with professional-grade, acne-safe brands like Face Reality and other trusted lines. All products are carefully chosen to be non-comedogenic and results-driven.
Does you offer education or mentorship for other aestheticians?
Yes! Through my mentorship and coaching programs, I support aestheticians and beauty pros in building successful businesses and delivering expert skincare.
Product
Do I need to be a client to purchase products?
Some products are available to everyone, while others are restricted to current clients for best results. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, booking a consultation is the best way to get started.
How do I know which products are right for me?
Your skin is unique, which is why I always recommend starting with a consultation. This ensures you’re using the right products for your skin type, acne type, and goals—without the trial and error.
How long before I see results from these products?
Most clients start to notice improvements within 6–8 weeks of consistent use. Results vary depending on your skin type, acne severity, and how closely you follow your recommended plan.
Can I use these products with my current routine?
Yes, but I’ll help you decide which products to keep and which to swap so your routine stays effective and acne-safe. Some products from your current routine may need to be replaced if they contain pore-clogging ingredients.
Are your products safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Many of the products we carry are specifically formulated for sensitive and reactive skin. During your consultation, I’ll help select the right options to keep your skin calm and balanced.
Can I return or exchange products?
For safety and quality reasons, skincare products are final sale. If you have any issues with your order, reach out and we’ll do our best to make it right.
Acne Bootcamp
What is the Face Reality Acne Bootcamp?
Acne Bootcamp is a 3–6 month program designed to clear acne through customized skincare routines, professional treatments, and ongoing education. Every plan is tailored to your skin type, acne type, and lifestyle.
How long does the program take?
Most clients see significant improvement within 12–16 weeks, though the full program timeline depends on your skin, consistency, and whether you’re local or virtual.
Is Acne Bootcamp safe if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. Every plan is fully customized to your skin’s needs. We start gently and adjust treatments and products to ensure your barrier stays healthy while breakouts are treated.
Can I do Acne Bootcamp virtually?
Yes! Virtual Bootcamp clients receive the same expert guidance and product recommendations, with regular follow-ups via video or messaging to track progress and make adjustments.
What happens after I achieve clear skin?
Once your acne is under control, we’ll transition you into a maintenance plan to keep your skin clear long-term. This often means fewer check-ins and a simplified product routine tailored to your skin’s needs.
Is it true that acne can get worse before it gets better?
Sometimes, yes. When starting new acne-safe products or treatments, your skin may go through a short “purging” phase as clogged pores come to the surface. This is normal and temporary. Not everyone experiences purging, but if it happens, I’ll guide you through it and adjust your routine to keep your skin moving in the right direction.
