Active ingredients and functions
This facial uses AHA acids to deeply exfoliate and even skin tone, followed by a blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Pentavitin, Ceramides, and Collagen to restore moisture. Each ingredient has a specific role: AHAs remove dead surface cells while the hydrators help bind water, support barrier lipids, and encourage a plumper appearance without making medical claims.
Because the formula emphasizes hydration after exfoliation, the treatment is designed to lock in moisture and reveal a brighter complexion. It is suitable for all skin types except sensitive skin; if you have concerns about irritation, your esthetician will assess suitability during the consultation before proceeding.
Exfoliation and treatment process
The method centers on controlled AHA exfoliation followed by application of concentrated hydrators to replenish lost moisture. The esthetician monitors exfoliation depth and skin response so hydration and barrier-supporting agents are applied at the right moment. The service is scheduled for 60 MINUTES and is offered at a price of $150, as listed by The Face Place.
Clients should expect a treatment sequence that prioritizes balance: enough AHA to even tone, then targeted humectants and lipids to prevent dehydration. For optimum outcomes, the business notes peels are performed on a bi-weekly basis in combination with a 30 minute chemical peel treatment series, to be discussed during your visit.
Preparing and aftercare considerations
This facial is not recommended for sensitive skin and requires preparation: discontinue aggressive exfoliating products or exfoliating prescriptions two weeks prior to your appointment. That precaution reduces the risk of excessive irritation during AHA exfoliation and helps the esthetician deliver a controlled, effective treatment that focuses on hydration and tone rather than aggressive resurfacing.
Deciding whether this facial is right involves trade-offs: deeper exfoliation improves tone but raises sensitivity risk, so maintenance frequency and product choices matter. For Columbia residents juggling commutes or events near Merriweather Post Pavilion and Lake Kittamaqundi, the appointment-friendly 60 MINUTES format supports convenient scheduling while allowing discussion of follow-up care and home routines.
