In-Person Acne Treatment
Our clinic was created because we have a program that really does work. In fact, when used as directed, 95% of our clients are able to get clear and stay clear.
What makes our treatment successful?
Your skin will be tested before you are given a home care regimen, and you will get the strongest home care products that your skin will tolerate, specifically chosen for the type of acne that you have. If your products are too strong, your skin will become irritated, dry, and still break out—not a good scenario.
Your skin condition is assessed every time you come in for a treatment (or by video-call through our Long-Distance Program). If your skin is irritated and dry from product use, we will then have you back off your routine slightly for just a few days, giving your skin time to re-adjust.
Most importantly, you will be coached on exactly how to use your products. Even the best acne products will eventually stop working if you are not using them correctly. Using products too frequently can irritate your skin; not using them enough can slow your progress.
One of the most important aspects of our system is our ability to coach you as your skin adapts so that it never becomes too used to your home care routine. If you use products the same way for too long, your skin quickly adapts and your acne will return.
While getting your skin clear, we will work together to adjust your home care routine. A well-managed routine will prevent acne from forming in the first place. We know how important it is to carefully regulate the push-and-pull of managing your regimen. Working together with us, you can and will have clear skin.
We combine the power of cosmeceutical grade home-care products that are customized for your type of acne and skin with an acne treatment series scheduled bi-monthly that facilitates clear skin and gets rid of pimples and blemishes.
How long will my skin take to clear?
Our treatment typically takes about six treatments over three months to get your skin mostly to completely clear. However, many people see significant results within six weeks.
What are our acne treatment benefits?
- Your progress will be always monitored. This will allow us to make changes to your home-care as needed.
- Your skin will be closely observed to make sure that we are “pushing’ it to clear but not so much that it gets irritated.
- You’ll have your Acne Specialist working closely with you to help you clear your skin as quickly as possible.
- The local sessions with your Acne Specialist will help you to get rid of acne and clear your skin more quickly than just using the products alone.
- Help you to lighten dark spots (if you have them) that are caused by acne lesions.
How do I start my treatment?
1. Schedule your First Acne Consultation:
In your first session, you'll learn about steps you can take in everyday life to improve your acne. You'll also learn about our unique system and why it works differently than anything you've tried in the past. Your skin will be tested for products, and a start-up set will be chosen for you.
Next, a combination of steam, hydrating enzymes, chemical peels, and extractions will be performed to facilitate the clearing of your pores. Every treatment is customized for what your skin needs each time. You will be shown how to use your new products, which will prepare your skin for your next treatment.
First Acne Consultation + Treatment: $125* (60 Minutes)
Consultation Only: $100* (60 Minutes)
Remember, our acne program is available at our clinic in Anchorage, AK and online for the rest of United States.
*Most people want an acne treatment with their initial consultation, but if you want a Consultation only or have been on topical medications such as retinoids, we'll need to test your skin for products that will prepare you for your first treatment in 2 weeks.
**You can expect to pay $130 to $150 for your first set of acne products. We require that you use only our products while on the program. You will be given these products at your first appointment. This acne regimen will give you approximately 2+months worth of products; however, we will adjust some products as your treatment progresses, requiring additional product purchases. Most of our clients spend, on average, $40/month on products to maintain their routine.
***We lower the consultation + treatment price to $100 if you choose to purchase products at the time of consultation.
2. Bi-weekly sessions:
As you go through your process of achieving clear skin on your face and/or body, we recommend you to come in for treatments every two weeks. Using professional-strength exfoliants that need to be applied by a professional, we treat your skin to facilitate your process of clearing.
A combination of steam, hydrating enzymes, chemical peels, and extractions will be performed to facilitate the clearing of your pores. Every treatment is customized for what your skin needs at that time. We will go over your home-care products to make sure you are on track and make adjustments as necessary.
The benefits of your bi-weekly treatments are:
- Exfoliate the skin so your home-care products can penetrate the pore more easily.
- Hydrate your skin so it is receptive to your home-care regimen. (Your home-care can dry out the skin slightly as you are getting used to the products).
- Extract existing acne impactions.
- Kill acne bacteria inside the pore
Each acne treatment has a specific focus on what the skin needs at the time of treatment. Sometimes the skin will need more hydration, other times it will need more anti-bacterial and/or anti-inflammatory action. Your Acne Specialist will analyze your skin at the beginning of every treatment to assess which treatment would serve you best.
Treatments are performed every two weeks until your skin clears, which usually takes anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks.
After your acne is under control, you will have to maintain your home-care regimen to keep your acne managed. Many of our current clients come in for a tune-up acne treatment every few months to keep their skin as healthy and clear as possible.

Acne Treatment: $75
Acne Treatment with LED LIGHTWAVE: $100
Back or Chest: $100 / $75 (As an add-on)
For acne clients in maintenance:

Testimonials
"Rebecca, I am so grateful for meeting you and for what you have done to change my skin. You're the most influential aesthetician I've had."
-Lucy, Anchorage, AK
"I love Rebecca! Love seeing her for facial treatment. She is ALWAYS very thorough, professional, easy to talk to and genuinely awesome all around. I have been suffering from acne since a teenager. I was skeptical at first to try Face Reality Product because I thought it going to be same as other products that would waste my money, but it wasn't true! Face Reality Products changed my life! I would strongly encourage those who suffering from acne to see Rebecca!"
- Zhi Tai, Bethel, AK
"I have had acne since I was in 6th grade. I neglected my skin throughout my school years because my acne condition was mild to moderate. When I graduated and went on to college, my acne flared it's big fat ugly head up like there was no tomorrow. I realized that I had to do something. I tried everything that promised to "treat" acne. I've tried doctor's prescriptions, salicylic acid products, benzoyl peroxide products, department store products, drugstore products and each time I end up with burning, unbearable, dry skin. One day my friend recommended Rebecca and the Face Reality skin care line. I decided to try it out and now I am acne free! The products work amazing for my combination oily/dry skin. The facial treatments I receive from Rebecca always leave my skin looking vibrant and healthy. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my skin care!"
- Joy Demmert, Anchorage, AK
How are we different?
Most Dermatologists are knowledgeable about the function, condition, and diseases of the skin, but are they giving you the time and attention needed to deal with your complex skin problem?
Their typical prescriptions may temporarily kill bacteria, dry up the sebum (oil from the sebaceous gland), or exfoliate your skin, but the side effects range from quite irritating to extremely dangerous. And, are they contacting you regularly to monitor your progress, or even returning your phone calls when the program is not working as it should?
Estheticians who work at spas are trained in treating the skin, but rarely are they trained to effectively treat acne. They are limited to the line of skin care products that the spa has them sell, and even if they have taken a course or two on treating acne, it's usually much more comfortable giving relaxing and pampering facials to the spa's clients.
Medi-spas and most other clinics may have a variety of machines and technology that can be impressive - but quite expensive. For those of you who can afford it, this would be fine - if any of it worked. But unless they are giving you a home-care regimen that addresses exfoliation, killing the bacteria, rehydration on a daily basis and making adjustments to your skin adapting, you will not get the results you are desperately looking for.
Proactiv and similar companies have the right idea, but even Proactiv isn’t strong enough for most cases of acne, nor do they monitor the changing condition of your skin. Not only that, these companies never see your skin or even talk to you. There is no way they can know if your complexion is light or dark, your acne is inflamed or non-inflamed, sensitive or not, combined with rosacea, resistant or rapidly responding.
