COVE Advanced Skin Studio

Acne care

Acne care for teens and adults

Breakouts are common, and they are rarely fixed by one more cleanser. The useful first step is to name what the skin is doing, sort the routine, and choose a pace you can keep. This page is that plan, whether the face is yours or your teenager’s.

What actually changes acne

  • Name the breakout

    Congested pores, red inflamed spots, and deep cysts are not the same problem. They are not treated the same way, and guessing usually leads to the wrong product.

  • Look at what is already on the skin

    A lot of acne gets louder from too many acids, or from products that were never meant to be used together. Part of the visit is deciding what to stop.

  • Pick a pace you can keep

    Some skin wants one clarifying facial and a simpler routine. Teen skin often does better on a short series, so the change is something you can see, not a single good day.

If it is your skin

You do not have to explain yourself.

Tell us what changed, what you have already tried, and what you want the next month to feel like. You can come into the studio, or start on video if walking in feels like a lot. The plan is written down, in plain language.

If you are a parent

Your teen is the client.

You are welcome in the room. The visit is still theirs, and you will hear the same plan they hear, including what to stop buying. COVE does not prescribe. If a dermatologist is the right next person, that is what we will say. For teens 14 and up, the facial built for this is below.

Where to start

If you are unsure, begin on video. If the skin is congested and ready to be in the room, book the Clarifying Facial. Teens who want a repeating plan should use the facial further down.

  • On video · 45 minutes · $125

    A daylight photo, the products already in the bathroom, and a written plan. It helps when the breakouts are new, or when you want a clear next step before anyone touches the skin. The $125 may be credited toward a visit or the GlyMed+ recommended for you.

Teens 14 and up

Teen Clear Skin Facial

A calm facial for teens 14 and up, when breakouts are the reason for the visit. It opens with a skin analysis, so Kate chooses each step for that day rather than following a script. They leave with a short home routine, and with notes you can compare at the next visit.

What’s included

  • Skin analysis at every visit
  • Deep cleanse and gentle exfoliation made for teen skin
  • Careful extractions
  • Calming masque
  • LED
  • SPF and a simple home routine
  • Progress notes each visit

60 min · $150 · LED included

Clear Skin Series: 4 visits for $540, used within 6 months.

For parents

A parent or guardian comes to the first visit, so the skin, the plan, and the home routine are explained once, together. After that, your teen can come on their own. Questions before you book? Call or text (727) 318-7644.

FAQ

How often should my teen come?

After the first analysis, Kate sets a schedule around what that skin needs. Some teens do well once a month. Others start closer together, then space the visits out as the skin settles.

Is it gentle enough for teen skin?

Yes. The steps are chosen for teen skin. This facial does not use strong peels, and anything that looks too inflamed that day is softened or skipped.

What if my teen is on a prescription?

Tell us before the visit. Steps are adjusted or skipped for Accutane, tretinoin, and other prescriptions. Deep cysts are a reason to see a dermatologist, and we will say so.

What’s the series policy?

Series visits follow our standard policy: cancellations or reschedules within 24 hours are charged $50. If you move away or a doctor advises stopping, the series is refunded with each used visit counted at $150.

Where do we get the home-care products?

Kate matches a short routine to your teen’s skin. The products are the same GlyMed+ used in the treatment room, and you can reorder them from our GlyMed+ store.
