HERE"S WHAT KELSEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE AT
916SKIN - ACNE SKINCARE CLINIC IN CHICO, CA:
"I have been battling acne for about twelve years now. My first memories of junior high and high school include shying away from making new friends due to being self-conscious about my pimply skin. Starting in sixth grade, classmates would ask me “What’s that on your face?” “Why do you have so many pimples?” because it was such a new thing for kids that age. Once my pimples progressed to full blown acne my freshman year in high school, my father finally agreed to bring me to a dermatologist. I had already tried Proactiv, Neutrogena, Clinique, countless over-the-counter “solutions”. Nothing worked. I also knew I would never risk taking Acutane. I was put on oral birth control pills, given erythromycin as a topical agent, tried doxycycline and a few other oral antibiotics. None of it helped. There were days where I felt so awful and embarrassed about the condition of my skin that I’d refuse to go to school. I felt helpless. I found an acne clinic in the east bay area where I grew up and was able to get clear through a multitude of treatments. Once I stopped going, the at home regimen wasn’t successful at keeping me clear. I moved to Chico for college, remained semi-clear with the products from that location. By the age of 22, I was right back where I started. Deep cysts covered my cheeks and neck and around my mouth. My lymph nodes were swollen because my face was technically infected from all the acne. It was the most difficult thing to go through again and again. I could feel and see peoples’ eyes on my pimples during conversation. Here I was – a 22 year old college woman afraid to talk to new people because of my skin. I would avoid certain lighting that I knew my skin would look worse in, or position myself so as to place people on the not-so-bad side on my face at the moment, depending on where majority of my pimples were.
I was fed up, again.
I found Tatja on Google, and saw her website and jumped right on it. A short 6 months later and I was clear!!
I never worry about not having makeup on anymore. I feel so comfortable in my own skin now. I never thought my skin would be not only free of pimples, but also healthy and glowing. Finally! No more limiting my social interactions, no more painful, irritated, inflamed, skin. I feel forever grateful for Tatja and her talents as an acne specialist. I am able to be 100% myself 100% of the time. Trust what Tatja tells you about how to treat your skin. I haven’t been this satisfied in years. She is kind, gentle, understanding and won’t give up on you. What a wonderful woman, even outside of her profession. Come to 916 Skin and love yourself and your skin as much as you deserve to."
