Chances are you’ve dealt with some form of acne in the past or are currently struggling with your acne treatment. Approximately 85% of the population has shared the experience of looking in the mirror to find that their spots have multiplied overnight, or a new angry red bump is staring right back at them.
The truth is no matter the severity of the acne, most of us can relate. At Essence of L, we understand just how debilitating this chronic skin condition can be because we’ve lived it ourselves. We understand that acne is far beyond a cosmetic concern and know all too well the physical pain it can bring daily.
Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, regardless of age or gender. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and diet can all contribute to the development of acne.

MORE THAN A COSMETIC CONCERN
Acne is often perceived as a cosmetic concern, but its impact extends far beyond surface-level appearance. Here’s how acne can affect individuals beyond just cosmetic concerns:
- Physical Discomfort: Acne can cause physical discomfort in the form of pain, tenderness, and inflammation. Severe acne lesions, such as cysts and nodules, can be particularly painful and may even lead to scarring.
- Psychological Effects: Acne can significantly impact one’s self-esteem and mental well-being. Individuals with acne may experience feelings of embarrassment, shame, and self-consciousness, which can affect their social interactions, relationships, and overall quality of life. Acne-related psychological distress can contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
- Social Withdrawal: Due to the visible nature of acne, individuals may avoid social situations, such as parties, gatherings, or even work meetings, to conceal their skin condition or avoid potential judgment from others. This social withdrawal can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, further exacerbating the psychological toll of acne.
- Impact on Daily Activities: Acne can interfere with daily activities and routines. Individuals may spend significant time and energy trying to conceal or treat their acne, leading to disruptions in their daily lives, productivity, and self-care practices.
- Potential for Scarring: Severe or untreated acne can result in permanent scarring, which can have lasting effects on one’s physical appearance and self-esteem. Acne scars may be difficult to conceal and may require additional medical interventions, such as laser treatments or chemical peels, to improve their appearance.
- Quality of Life: Ultimately, acne can diminish one’s overall quality of life by affecting various aspects of physical, emotional, and social well-being. It’s essential to recognize acne as a multifaceted condition that requires comprehensive treatment and support to address not only its cosmetic effects but also its broader impact on individuals’ lives.
PERSONALLY CUSTOMIZED ACNE TREATMENT
At Essence of L, we believe the first step to developing your treatment plan is getting to know you. That’s why we scheduled a 90-minute consultation with our Certified Acne Specialists before going any further. Successful acne treatment requires a personalized approach. Your consultation will allow us to determine your skin type, acne type, skin concerns or goals and uncover any contributing lifestyle and environmental factors.
We take great pride in our consultations and credit these meetings as one of the most important factors in determining a client’s success on their treatment plan. Our straightforward and honest approach allows us to obtain not only a thorough understanding of our clients’ acne conditions but also to pinpoint any psychological or emotional triggers that could be negatively impacting progress.
CLIENT EDUCATION IS KEY
A key component of our consultations is client education. We believe that when clients understand not only how their acne is caused but how the specific treatments, products, and lifestyle habits work together to improve their skin, they are better equipped to achieve success from their treatment plan and maintain healthier skin for life.
After a consultation, Leah and Suzie will design your customized treatment plan. Since we want this plan to work for you and not against you, we will ask you what your budget is as well as your commitment level. We want to help you achieve results, but we also want this plan to be realistic and align with your life. With these questions answered we will be able to develop a combination of products, dietary recommendations, and/or treatments that will work best for you. If your budget is tight, or you want to start out slow, Leah can find the perfect balance to make you feel comfortable. Our goal is for you to leave feeling confident that you’re on the right plan for you.
RESULTS YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL
At Essence of L we take pride in results you can feel. There is no greater satisfaction for us than seeing our clients walk through our doors with brighter, clearer skin, but also bigger smiles and boosted confidence. That is the true beauty of the work we do.
