What it does

Acne Treatment at Illumatox.

Acne is treated as a protocol rather than an appointment. Face Reality products at home, in-studio treatment at intervals, and adjustment as your skin responds. The home routine does most of the work and the appointments steer it.

Skin usually gets worse before it gets better. Purging as congestion clears is expected in the first few weeks, and knowing that in advance is the difference between staying the course and abandoning it.

Acne is a moving target, so a fixed protocol fails. What works is a plan that gets adjusted every few weeks based on what your skin has actually done since the last appointment.

Aerolase targets the bacteria and the inflammation, and calms the oil glands feeding it. No medication and no downtime. It usually runs alongside a Face Reality home routine rather than instead of one.

The home care is not the optional part. It is most of the result.

Common questions

What people ask about acne treatment.

How much does acne treatment cost in Neenah?

Acne Treatment is $375, or $325 for members at our Neenah studio. Every price is published on our pricing page. Nothing is quote-on-request.

Why is my skin worse after starting?

That is purging, and it is expected. Actives accelerate turnover, which brings congestion already forming under the surface up faster than it would have arrived on its own. It typically settles within four to six weeks. It is also the point most people quit, which is why we say it plainly at the start rather than reassuring you afterwards.

How long until I see real improvement?

Eight to twelve weeks for a clear change, and three to six months for a settled result. Anyone promising faster is describing a temporary clearance rather than treating the cause. Skin cycles roughly every four weeks, and you need several cycles.

Do I have to buy the products?

For this protocol, yes, and we would rather be upfront than pretend otherwise. The in-studio treatments support a home routine; they do not replace it. If you are not willing to change what you use daily, a course of facials will not clear acne and we would be taking your money.

What about the scarring left behind?

Treated afterwards, not during. Needling or resurfacing through active inflamed acne can spread bacteria and worsen things. We clear the acne first, then address the scarring, usually with microneedling once the skin is calm and stable.

How long before my skin clears?

Weeks rather than days, and it commonly gets slightly worse before it gets better as congestion clears out. That purge is expected and temporary. We review every few weeks precisely so the plan can change if it is not moving.

Do I have to buy the products?

For active acne, effectively yes. The in-studio work and the home routine are two halves of one thing, and treating without the routine tends not to hold. We build the routine around what your skin is doing rather than selling a fixed set.
