Acne Bootcamp
First Time Consultation + Treatment
Your first step toward clear, confident skin—offered in person and virtually. This 90-minute in-person appointment combines a comprehensive acne consultation with your first customized Clear Skin Treatment.
Your esthetician will explore your acne history, current routine, lifestyle, and goals before treating your skin’s current needs. You’ll leave with personalized home care, a treatment plan, and clear next steps for our Clear Skin Method Bootcamp—a proven, drug-free approach to treating acne at the root.
If you’ve tried topicals, prescriptions, Accutane, or birth control without lasting results, this is for you. Clear skin is possible—and this is where it begins.
Virtual appointments include the same comprehensive consultation and personalized plan without the in-clinic treatment.

Advanced Treatments
Chemical Peels
Refined offers Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chemical peels, allowing your treatment plan to progress intentionally as your skin becomes ready for more advanced correction.
Each session is clinical in nature — no fluff, no steam, no massage — and focused on delivering results. While visible peeling is rare, clients typically notice brighter, smoother skin within a week, with continued improvements over time.
For the best results, we typically recommend a series of three to six treatments. Package options are available.
Reminders:
- A consultation is highly encouraged before beginning the series to ensure your skin is properly prepped.
- A pre-approved home skincare line is required to ensure your safety and to get the best results.
- Daily SPF use and sun-smart habits are non-negotiable throughout the treatment series.
- Dermaplaning may be added to enhance results, if appropriate for your skin.
This service is part of a results-driven plan — book now to stay on track with your skin transformation.

Unlike traditional microneedling, Microchanneling delivers powerful results with minimal discomfort and no numbing required. Downtime is minimal, and visible improvement typically begins after just two treatments. Most clients achieve optimal results with 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Acne doesn't clear up overnight - it’s a process that usually takes between 3-6 months. However, when the Face Reality Clear Skin Method® is followed as recommended, clients can expect to see a visible improvement in acne severity by 8 weeks*.
-
Ideally, yes. Our clinically proven Face Reality Clear Skin Method® shows that the best results come from a combination of professional treatments, personalized home care, and lifestyle guidance. In-clinic treatments help clear active acne and address concerns that can follow breakouts, while consistent at-home care maintains your progress between visits. Best results are achieved by adhering to the regimen recommended by your Certified Acne Expert®.
-
If you have not received a treatment from us in the last 12 months, we recommend a new consultation.
-
Some treatments are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, however we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before booking.
-
Yes! Our Refined Facials are fully customized and offered in 50, 75, and 90-minute options. You choose the time, and your esthetician selects the products, exfoliation, and modalities best suited to your skin.

Jamie Brown
Founder, Advanced Esthetician & Face Reality® Certified Level 2 Acne Expert
Jamie’s path to esthetics began with her own decade-long experience with hormonal cystic acne. After countless appointments, products, and treatments, she understood how exhausting it can be to search for answers without a clear plan or consistent support.
That experience inspired Jamie to become an Advanced Esthetician and open Refined Skin + Acne Clinic in 2022. Today, she combines advanced treatments, individualized home care, education, and whole-person support to give clients what she once needed herself: expert guidance, an honest partnership, and a personalized plan they don’t have to navigate alone. -

Knowing firsthand how deeply acne can affect confidence, she began esthetics school immediately after graduating high school—where she and Jamie quickly became friends.
Sophie loves helping acne clients understand their skin and navigate the clearing process. Known for her bubbly, welcoming personality, she connects with clients, then guides them with education, intentional recommendations, and plenty of encouragement along the way. -
