She came in with healthy skin overall, but she was dealing with inflamed breakouts. She had already tried several actives and acids at home. Instead of adding another one, we supported her skin’s microbiome with BioJuve and kept her routine simple. She wanted to keep clinic visits to a minimum, so we planned two facials and focused on her home routine. Her inflammation calmed and her breakouts reduced, without frequent visits.

Skin concerns

From the treatment room

We built her routine around BioJuve, which adds a living strain of bacteria that is naturally found on the skin. It helps bring the skin’s microbiome back into balance, and it releases anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants that help calm inflammation and reduce breakouts. Because the bacteria in BioJuve are living, we kept her whole routine within the BioJuve line, morning and night. Preservatives in products from other brands can harm those bacteria. Fewer products also meant less irritation and a routine that is easy to keep up with.
