About

Tru Skin Acne Clinic is a private practice in Lafayette that specializes in acne and is run by owner Eliza Garafolides, a licensed esthetician. Treatment plans combine in-clinic sessions with a home skin care routine that is adjusted about every two weeks. The home products are pharmaceutical-grade and chosen for each client's type of acne and skin, and the first set costs about $165. Treatments are not offered to clients who do not use the clinic's home products.

The clinic describes a typical course as roughly 6 to 8 treatments over 12 to 16 weeks, which it says leads to mostly to completely clear skin. It also states that it clears acne without oral or topical antibiotics in 3 to 4 months and reports a success rate of over 90 percent regardless of age or gender. These are the clinic's own claims. Clients are educated about lifestyle choices, food and supplements, birth control and medications that can affect acne, and skin care ingredients that clog pores. Care is one-to-one, with progress monitored closely.

Consultation and Skin Analysis takes 30 minutes and costs $55. It looks at skin type, acne type, sensitivity and lifestyle factors, and ends with a customized home routine. Consultation and Acne Treatment takes 90 minutes and costs $155; it exfoliates the skin, removes acne impactions and treats bacteria inside the pores. A standard Acne Treatment takes 35 to 45 minutes depending on the client's needs and tolerance and costs $115, with series of 3 at $330 and series of 6 at $665. Body Acne Treatment follows the same method as the facial and starts at $115 depending on the area treated.

Peel and light services include Pure Peel at $175, which needs pre and post care and is listed for aging, pigmented, acne and rosacea skin, and Get Glowing Micro-Peel at $180 for 60 minutes, which requires a consultation first. Oxygen Dome Therapy with LED Light Therapy is a 60-minute facial at $195 that infuses oxygen into the skin, and LED Blue Light Therapy is a 30-minute session at $55. The Skin Renewal Peeling System costs $900 and is delivered across three appointments: two 2.5-hour peel sessions and a 1-hour removal visit 7 to 10 days later. Its consultation is 60 minutes at $75, applied to the peel if the client goes ahead. The clinic describes this system as the most effective way to obtain healthy, blemish-free skin.

Appointments are Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 7pm and Saturday from 8am to 4pm, closed Sunday and Monday, with earlier or later times available on request. A 48-hour notice is required for cancellations or changes. Repeated no-shows lead to 50 percent advance payment for future appointments. Gift certificates are non-refundable and can only be applied to services.

Treatment plans pair in-clinic acne treatments with a home routine that is adjusted about every two weeks, with lifestyle and product education and one-to-one monitoring.
