If You’ve Tried Everything… This Is For You

This program is built for people who:

• have tried countless products with no lasting results

Why Clients See Results

Our program is effective because it integrates professional in-clinic treatments, customized home care, lifestyle awareness, and consistent accountability. This comprehensive structure allows for steady progress and long-term results 

Acne Healing Requires Consistency

Consistency Is What Creates Change Clear skin is achievable—but it requires commitment. Clients in this program follow their personalized routine consistently, attend scheduled treatments, communicate changes, and trust the process. While results don’t happen overnight, they occur reliably when the system is followed. This is a partnership—and we’re in it together.

This Is Bigger Than Skin

Clear skin isn’t just about appearance—it’s about reaching the moments that matter. Feeling confident without makeup. Smiling freely in senior pictures. Showing up fully for a wedding, event, or milestone without worrying about your skin. Breakouts affect confidence, mood, and self-image. This program goes beyond improving skin—it’s designed to help you feel comfortable and confident in your face again. For parents, it’s about helping your child feel confident in photos, at school, in sports, and throughout everyday life. Every goal is personal. Every transformation is too.

Common Questions

Who is this for?

Teens and adults who are tired of guessing, have tried multiple products/treatments, or are just experiencing acne for the first time and want a clear plan with professional guidance.

 What makes The Cleveland Acne Expert different from a traditional dermatologist or spa facial?

We specialize in acne only acne. That means your plan is built around root triggers, congestion patterns, inflammation control, and consistent coaching. You’ll get a structured, personalized protocol with in-clinic treatments + home care that work together.

How long does it take to clear acne?

It depends on the type of acne, consistency, and contributing factors. Most clients need a minimum of 3-6 months to see meaningful change, and full clearing often takes longer. We track progress and adjust based on how your skin responding.

Why does acne get better… then worse… during treatment?

Acne healing is not linear. As we normalize cell turnover and reduce inflammation, underlying congestion can surface before things stabilize. It doesn’t mean you’re failing it often means your skin is actively shifting.

Do you guarantee results?

No one can ethically guarantee outcomes, because results depend heavily on consistency, lifestyle factors, and biologic variability. What we do guarantee is a proven system, expert oversight, and a plan that’s adjusted based on your progress.

Do I need an in-person consult first?

Yes, because acne requires assessment, not guessing. If you’re not local, ask about virtual consult options if you offer them.

Do you do extractions?

Yes when appropriate. Extractions are not for everyone and are never “forced.” Comfort, inflammation level, and the type of congestion determine whether we extract and how aggressively.

Do you work with teen acne?

Yes. Teen acne is one of our specialties.

My teen plays sports—does that change the plan?

Often, yes. Sweat, helmets, chin straps, shared equipment, and laundering habits can all influence acne. We’ll build the plan around their real life.

How often will I need appointments?

Most acne clients come every 2–4 weeks initially, then taper as skin stabilizes.

Do you accept insurance?

No. Our services are self-pay so we can provide personalized, results-driven acne care without the limitations insurance places on treatment plans, time, or product selection.

What if I can’t be consistent?

Consistency is non-negotiable for acne results. Before you start, really ask yourself: Can I follow the routine daily, make the recommended changes, and stay on track for the full timeline? If the honest answer is no, then the Acne Program is not the right fit right now.
