Step-by-step treatment sequence explained
Glacial® Gloss begins with a steam double cleanse and an optional lymphatic massage to move fluid and prep the skin. The esthetician follows the Glacial® Skin CryoAesthetics® 4-step protocol—controlled cooling passes and restorative product layering—then applies a customized mask, facial massage, targeted hydration, and a Colorescience® Finishing Touch, finishing with travel-size take-home serum and moisturizer.
Throughout the session the therapist adjusts pressure, cooling intensity, and mask choice to match current skin condition and sensitivity. Local factors such as Columbia’s humidity and seasonal pollen, recent sun exposure, and daily commuting rhythms influence product choice and the timing of lymphatic work and hydration to support comfort and visible freshness.
How CryoAesthetics® technology works
CryoAesthetics® uses targeted cooling in measured passes as part of the four-step Glacial® protocol to create a calming sensation while supporting circulation and product absorption. In practice this alternates brief cold contacts with restorative serums and creams applied in sequence, allowing each layer to settle before the next step is delivered.
Because cooling is an active sensation, the esthetician moderates intensity for sensitivity and comfort and emphasizes lymphatic or massage elements when needed. Clients often describe immediate relaxation and a refreshed appearance; technicians sequence steps to balance calming effects with hydration and finishing protection.
Who should consider treatment
People noticing dehydration, dullness, sensitivity, uneven texture, or reduced skin vitality commonly choose this restorative facial to refresh and hydrate. Local clients who commute through Forest Acres or along North Beltline value the 60 minutes appointment length and evening or weekend availability, which makes it easier to fit a treatment into busy schedules.
This service is priced at $325 for a 60 minutes appointment if booked outside membership, and the Glacial® Gloss protocol is included under the 360 Membership. Call to enroll or visit the MEMBERSHIPS tab for details, and our team can recommend a membership plan that fits your schedule and goals.
