    THE ANTI-ACNE PLAN · CLARIFY+ SERIES

    Treat your acne. Once and for all.

    The Anti-Acne Plan is a structured, dermatologist-led program built to clear active acne, fade post-acne marks, and revise scars — personalized by a PDS Board-Certified Dermatologist.

    LED BY DR. CHARLENE PALAFOX · PDS BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST

    OVERVIEW

    Personalized acne care — not a one-size-fits-all facial.

    Acne is not a single condition. It is hormonal, inflammatory, comedonal, cystic — and often layered with pigmentation and scarring. Generic facials cannot resolve it. The Anti-Acne Plan is built around that truth.

    After a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Charlene Palafox, you receive a tailored protocol drawn from our Clarify+ Series for active acne and our dedicated scar menu — combined with prescription topicals or oral medication when clinically indicated. The result is the intensive, personalized care you need to treat your acne once and for all.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED

    Questions, answered

    What is The Anti-Acne Plan?+

    The Anti-Acne Plan is Skinstitute's structured program for treating acne and acne scars under the personal care of Dr. Charlene Palafox, PDS Board-Certified Dermatologist. It combines our Clarify+ in-clinic treatments, prescription dermatology, and a maintenance plan tailored to your skin type and acne grade.

    Which Clarify+ treatment is right for me?+

    It depends on the type and severity of your acne. Mild congestion typically responds to Clarify+ Facial or Clarify+ Renew, pigmented post-acne marks benefit from Clarify+ Crystal or Reset, and deep cystic acne usually requires Clarify+ Focus RF. Dr. Palafox will recommend the right protocol during consultation.

    How long until I see clearer skin?+

    Most patients see noticeable reduction in active breakouts after 2 to 4 weekly sessions. Hyperpigmentation and scarring take longer — usually 8 to 12 weeks of combined in-clinic and home care.

    Do you also treat acne scars?+

    Yes. We offer a dedicated For Acne Scars menu including SkinDuo Reform (Er:Glass + RF Microneedling), ScarCROSS for ice-pick scars, RevitaSmooth (Rejuran S), and our premium ScarRenew and ScarCorrect protocols that combine subcision, lasers, and biostimulators.

    ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS AND PRICES
    Is the program safe for sensitive or pregnant patients?+

    We adjust every plan based on your skin barrier, medical history, and life stage. Some lasers and topical actives are not used during pregnancy — Dr. Palafox will design a safe alternative protocol if needed.

    Do you prescribe oral medication?+

    When clinically indicated, yes. As a PDS Board-Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Palafox can prescribe oral and topical prescription treatments alongside your in-clinic plan for a complete approach.
