Most skin care professionals attempt to make acne skin transformation daily. They think up strict, skin-clearing regimen comprised of a combination of treatments, at-home products, and lifestyle changes, but the reality is clients do not always listen, which can lead to frustration among all involved. There are the clients who follow everything their treatment provider says to a T. Then there are the ones who blame everything and everyone else besides themselves for their lack of results. And of course, there are the clients who struggle with big-picture focus. 

How can spas and clinics create consistency with a set plan of action and accountability for acne clients? The answer is by creating a specialized acne bootcamp program. A streamlined service, programs are typically a mixture of beneficial services, homecare, and lifestyle changes for acne clients. An outline of the program should be reviewed with applicable clients during their initial consultation to better the chances of mutual success. Acne bootcamp programs imply there is a shared commitment between the client and service provider, rather than a one-off visit.  This should be cemented further with a signed agreement, ensuring full cooperation with both parties to make the client’s skin goals a reality.
