The Truth Behind Every “After” Photo: Why Real Skin Transformations Start With a Plan

Aug 6

Let’s talk about the after photo.

You’ve seen it before — glowing skin, smooth texture, and a confident smile. It’s the kind of image that screams, “Look at me now.”

But what about the before? The journey to get to the after?

The hormonal acne. The redness. The sun damage. The uneven texture. The scarring that didn’t just disappear overnight. That’s the part of the journey no one posts, but it’s exactly where every skin success story begins.

And at Urban You, we believe that behind every stunning “after,” there’s a powerful, strategic skin transformation plan — custom-built for you.

The Skin Glow-Up Starts Before the Photo

Here’s the truth: glowing skin doesn’t come from a single product or one-time facial. It comes from understanding your skin’s unique needs and treating it with purpose.

If you're battling:

Hormonal acne
Acne scars
Redness or rosacea
Sun damage or pigmentation
Fine lines, dullness, or skin laxity

…it’s time to stop chasing trends and start building a plan rooted in clinical skincare science.

Personalized Skin Plans: What They Look Like at Urban You

At Urban You, our philosophy — The Science of Beauty — is about going deeper than what you see on the surface. We take a results-driven, customized approach that treats the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.

Here’s how:

🔬 Step 1: Reset the Skin with Medical-Grade Facials

We begin with our Medical Lux facials, designed to restore your skin’s barrier and reset inflammation. Whether you’re struggling with breakouts, dryness, or dullness, our facials work with your skin’s biofeedback to calm and repair.

💡 Step 2: Target Concerns with Clinical Treatments

Once your skin is healthy and stable, we advance to targeted treatments like:

BBL Laser (BroadBand Light) for sun spots, acne scars, and pigmentation
Microneedling to boost collagen, smooth texture, and improve tone
Facial balancing with dermal fillers or Sculptra® to enhance volume, symmetry, and youthfulness

These treatments work from the inside out, delivering long-term results that evolve and improve over time.

🧴 Step 3: Reinforce Results with Medical-Grade Skincare

No plan is complete without the right home care. Our skincare specialists will match you with the right products — no fluff, just high-performance ingredients that support your in-clinic treatments.
