What to expect in detail
The consultation begins with an advanced VISIA® skinLAB Analysis to capture multi-layer images used for a deeper evaluation of texture, pigmentation and pore patterns. After imaging, your esthetician reviews those findings alongside your skin history and current products to identify priorities and constraints before recommending a focused, personalized plan.
From that baseline we build a practical routine: step-by-step at-home guidance, professional product recommendations, and tailored treatment options when appropriate. The approach emphasizes compatibility and long-term skin health rather than quick fixes, and includes investment guidance so you can phase care affordably over time.
How we assess your skin
Assessment combines imaging data with a face-to-face review of sensitivities, prescriptions, lifestyle and local environmental factors. Columbia’s humid subtropical climate, summer heat, and spring pollen seasons influence oil production and sensitivity; we factor that context into product and treatment choices to reduce irritation and improve daily comfort.
Timing matters: many clients book resets in January for New Year goals and again in March, September, and October to address seasonal shifts. Knowing these patterns lets us recommend transitions, treatment timing, and appointment scheduling that suit busy commuters and families who prefer evening or weekend visits.
Products, swaps and follow-up
Bring every product you use — cleansers, serums, sunscreens, and prescriptions — so your esthetician can detect conflicts, redundancies, or missing essentials. Eligible product swaps during the appointment qualify for 15% OFF. Gently used items swapped during your consult may be donated to a local women’s shelter as part of our community give back.
After the consult you’ll leave with a simplified regimen, prioritized product list, and clear next steps for any recommended treatments. Follow-up planning includes timing and cost guidance so you can make informed choices, reflecting the clear, patient-centered counseling many clients say they value.
