Luke's Skin Journey

A testimony from Luke's mother, Kate


Luke’s skin journey began in April 2020. He was experiencing (what we thought to be) oily skin with lots of acne and scars, particularly on his forehead. Luke was very self-conscious about his face and didn’t have much confidence. Luke had a family history of severe acne. 


We had tried several over the counter treatments to help clear up his acne, but they either dried out his skin or caused mild allergic reactions as Luke has very sensitive skin. The Little House of Beauty was recommended to us by a friend and we were told that Teresa had worked with teenagers before and achieved excellent results. So, we decided to make the call and get Luke some professional help. At this point, Luke was ready and willing to do anything to help improve his skin.

When we had our first consultation with Teresa in June, she diagnosed Luke’s skin as dry, not oily and tried several different cleansers to see how Luke’s face would react. She also outlined a treatment plan for him which included LED heal light treatments and chemical peels. For a month or so we came twice a week for LED treatments and worked out the best creams suited for Luke’s skin type. We saw improvement almost immediately in the quality and condition of Luke’s skin and his acne became visibly less and less. Luke enjoyed the LED treatments and found them relaxing and was encouraged each week with the improving results. 


During this process with Teresa, we also went to see a dermatologist, and they  recommended that Luke go on Roaccutane to improve his skin. However, we felt that it was a very harsh drug to be taking, and we wanted to continue his LED treatments and chemical peels as we had seen real results with them. Teresa agreed and encouraged Luke by showing him before and after photo results of other clients.

After several months of LED treatments and getting Luke’s skin to a healthy point, Teresa started using chemical peels. She chose the sensitive one first to ensure Luke’s skin would be ok with it. He had no reaction to it, and we saw a decrease in his acne scarring – which was so encouraging to see! Luke was feeling more confident by this point and could clearly see the changes in his skin.

We have come a long way from where we started, and Luke is so much more confident now and happy with his skin. We are so thankful to Teresa and her expertise in improving and helping Luke’s skin – it is amazing to see the change!
