Acne Bootcamp
Clear Skin, Confident You
At Refresh & Renew MedSpa in Clarkston, Michigan, we see how deeply acne can affect your confidence and day-to-day life. Our goal? To create personalized, results-driven plans that calm breakouts, heal the skin and bring back your natural glow—so you feel refreshed, restored and like yourself again.
Comprehensive Acne Treatment Approach
At Refresh & Renew MedSpa, just outside Lake Orion, Michigan, we take a personalized approach to acne care that goes beyond surface-level solutions. We combine AquaFirme acne facials with customized chemical peels to target breakouts at the root while supporting long-term skin health with a Face Reality at home regimen.
AquaFirme Acne Facial
AquaFirme uses advanced, non-invasive technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and nourish the skin while reducing inflammation. By removing excess oil, debris and impurities, this treatment creates a clearer, more balanced complexion—without irritation or downtime. Skin feels refreshed, hydrated and visibly renewed after each session.
Acne Chemical Peels
Our acne-targeted chemical peels gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, unclog pores and calm inflammation. With consistent use, these peels help smooth texture, improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of post-acne marks—revealing a brighter, more even complexion over time.
Face Reality Skincare
We trust the Face Reality® product line to support clear, healthy skin. A gold-standard in acne management and backed by clinical results, these acne-focused formulas contain medical-grade, non-comedogenic ingredients and powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial actives. We select each product based on your skin’s specific needs to create a routine that targets acne without irritation.
The R&R Touch
No two breakouts look the same, and your treatment plan shouldn't either. We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your skin, your acne triggers and your goals. From there, we create a customized plan that includes an at home regimen with combinations of AquaFirme facials and chemical peels every two weeks—a rhythm designed to keep your skin progressing, healing and glowing.
Clearing acne doesn’t happen overnight, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. We walk with you every step of the way—teaching you how to understand your skin, adjust your routine, and make empowered choices at home. From product education to lifestyle tips and progress check-ins, we’re invested in your long-term skin health.
At Refresh & Renew, we believe clear skin happens with consistency, expert care and a treatment plan made just for you.
FAQs
-
Acne doesn’t clear overnight, but with consistency and the right plan, most clients start seeing visible improvements in 6 to 12 weeks. Factors like acne type, skin sensitivity and lifestyle play a role—but we track your progress closely and adjust your plan as needed to keep you moving forward.
-
Refresh & Renew MedSpa’s acne program, in Oakland County, Michigan, goes beyond products. We combine a customized homecare routine, professional-grade AquaFirme facials and chemical peels to target acne and inflammation from multiple angles. You also get ongoing guidance, education and support—so you're never left guessing what your skin needs next.
-
Not at all—but we may suggest switching to acne-safe options. Some makeup products contain ingredients that clog pores and slow your progress. We help you identify what works best with your treatment plan, so you can still feel confident and supported while your skin clears.
-
Yes! Our approach not only targets active breakouts but also addresses post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. Treatments like chemical peels and AquaFirme improve tone and texture over time, revealing brighter, smoother skin beneath the surface. If you skin requires more aggressive treatment options, like laser or radiofrequency microneedling, we have those treatments available as well.
-
We hear this all the time—and we understand how frustrating that feels. Many of our clients come to us after years of trying different products, prescriptions or advice with little success. What makes our program different is our customization, clinical tools and hands-on support. We stay with you through the ups and downs, making real-time adjustments to keep your skin moving in the right direction.
-
Yes! We tailor acne treatments for teens and young adults, adjusting product strength and treatment frequency based on age, skin sensitivity and lifestyle. We do require parental presence and consent for our clients under 18 years of age.
-
Yes, we work with many clients dealing with hormonal breakouts, especially along the jawline, chin and lower face. While we can’t change your hormones, we can address the inflammation, congestion and skin sensitivity that often come with them—using targeted products, in-office treatments and lifestyle guidance that support clearer skin.
-
Some clients experience a brief purging phase as the skin starts clearing out congestion—but not everyone does. If it happens, we explain what’s normal, how to care for your skin during that time and what signs to watch for. You’re never left wondering what’s happening or what to do next.
-
Most clients come in every two weeks for a series of professional treatments (AquaFirme facials and/or chemical peels). This rhythm allows us to steadily clear the skin while monitoring progress and adjusting your regimen as needed. Your treatment schedule will always reflect what’s best for your skin.
