Face Reality Acne Program
Acne can feel frustrating, exhausting, and honestly… defeating sometimes. Especially when you feel like you’ve “tried everything” and nothing seems to work long term. At Viva Aesthetics, we take a different approach.
Our Face Reality Acne Program is a customized, education-focused program designed to target acne at the source — not just temporarily calm breakouts. This is not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan or a quick fix facial. It’s a structured acne-clearing program that combines professional treatments, customized homecare, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support to help you achieve healthier, clearer skin over time.
We partner with you every step of the way because acne treatment is a process — and having the right guidance makes all the difference.
What Is Face Reality?
Face Reality Skincare is a nationally recognized acne-focused skincare system built around customized treatment plans and professional guidance. The program is designed to address all grades of acne, including:
Congested skin and blackheads
Inflamed acne and cystic breakouts
Hormonal acne
Teen acne
Adult acne
Acne-prone sensitive skin
The goal is not just to improve acne temporarily — it’s to help you understand your triggers, repair your skin barrier, and create sustainable long-term improvement.
Your Acne Journey at Viva Aesthetics
Step 1: Acne Consultation
Every acne journey starts with a comprehensive consultation. This appointment is incredibly important because acne is rarely “just acne.” Your provider will take the time to evaluate:
Your skin type and acne severity
Current skincare routine
Past products and treatments
Lifestyle factors
Potential acne triggers
Skin sensitivity and barrier health
We’ll also discuss your goals, timeline expectations, and what commitment to the program looks like. Acne treatment takes consistency, patience, and the right plan — and we want you to feel educated and supported from day one.
During your consultation, we’ll determine if the Face Reality program is the right fit for your skin and begin building your personalized treatment plan.
Step 2: Customized Homecare Products
This program is heavily focused on homecare because what you do consistently at home matters just as much as what happens in the treatment room.
Your provider will create a fully customized Face Reality routine specifically for your skin. Your regimen may include:
Cleansers
Hydrating products
Acne-safe moisturizers
SPF
Active treatment serums
Benzoyl peroxide
Mandelic acid or exfoliating products
Not everyone starts on the same products — and not everyone stays on the same products throughout the program.
As your skin changes and improves, your routine will evolve too.
Sometimes we start slow to protect your skin barrier. Sometimes we need to increase correction gradually. Sometimes products need to be swapped because your skin is responding differently than expected. Acne treatment is dynamic, and your regimen should be too.
That’s why ongoing guidance is such a critical part of the process.
Step 3: Professional Acne Treatments
In addition to homecare, regular in-clinic treatments help accelerate progress and support skin clearing.
Your acne treatments may include:
Deep pore cleansing
Professional exfoliation
Acne-safe hydrators
Targeted corrective treatments
Extractions when appropriate
Barrier-supportive care
Treatments are customized based on your skin’s condition at each visit. Some appointments may focus on calming inflammation, while others may focus more heavily on congestion and corrective treatment.
The goal is always progress without overwhelming the skin.
Step 4: Bi-Monthly Check-Ins & Product Adjustments
Acne treatment is not “set it and forget it.”
Your skin changes. Seasons change. Hormones change. Stress changes. Your treatment plan should adapt too.
That’s why bi-monthly check-ins are built into the program. These appointments allow us to:
Monitor your progress
Assess skin response
Adjust products as needed
Increase or decrease active ingredients
Support skin barrier health
Address concerns early before setbacks happen
This ongoing coaching and accountability is one of the biggest reasons acne programs are more successful than trying random products on your own.
We’re here to guide you through the process, celebrate progress with you, troubleshoot challenges, and help keep you on track.
What to Expect
Acne takes time.
Real skin healing doesn’t happen overnight. Most clients begin seeing improvement within the first few months, but consistency is everything.
Purging can happen.
Some clients may experience temporary increases in breakouts as the skin begins clearing congestion underneath the surface. We help guide you through this phase safely and strategically.
Commitment matters.
The best results happen when clients follow both their homecare routine and recommended treatment schedule consistently.
Progress over perfection.
Healing skin is rarely perfectly linear. We focus on long-term skin health, not overnight perfection.

Are ready to commit to a long-term skin health journey
At Viva Aesthetics, we know acne can impact more than just your skin — it can affect confidence, comfort, and the way you show up in everyday life. Our goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free experience where you feel educated, empowered, and cared for throughout your entire journey.
Investment & What to Expect
We believe in being transparent about the investment because successful acne treatment is a commitment — not just a one-time appointment.
Your exact pricing will vary based on your skin’s needs, acne severity, treatment frequency, and the products required for your customized routine, but here’s a general breakdown of what most clients can expect during the Face Reality Acne Program at Viva Aesthetics.
Initial Consultation
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive acne consultation, skin analysis, treatment planning, education, and product recommendations.
Estimated Investment:
$100–$200
Customized Homecare Products
Homecare is one of the most important parts of the program. Your provider will create a customized regimen specifically for your skin, and products may be adjusted throughout your journey as your skin improves.
Most clients begin with:
Cleanser
Hydrating serum or toner
Moisturizer
SPF
Acne treatment products
Typical Starting Product Investment:
$150–$350+
Some clients may require fewer products, while others may need a more advanced corrective routine depending on their acne and skin barrier condition.
Acne Treatments & Check-Ins
Professional acne treatments and bi-monthly check-ins help keep your progress on track and allow us to safely adjust your routine as your skin changes.
Typical Treatment Investment:
$100–$250 per visit
Treatment frequency varies, but many acne clients start with more consistent visits before transitioning into maintenance appointments as the skin improves.
Ongoing Product Adjustments
As your skin clears, your routine will evolve. Some products may be discontinued, swapped out, upgraded, or reduced over time depending on how your skin responds.
This flexibility is part of what makes the program so effective — your skincare is never “cookie cutter.”
A Long-Term Investment in Skin Health
We know acne treatment can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve already spent money on products or treatments that didn’t work. Our goal is to create a strategic, supportive plan that helps eliminate the guesswork and gives your skin the consistency it needs to truly heal.
Most importantly, you won’t be navigating it alone.
At Viva Aesthetics, we’re committed to creating a supportive, judgment-free experience where you feel educated, cared for, and confident throughout your acne journey.
