What the treatment includes
The Classic Gentleman Facial follows a stepwise protocol: steam double cleanse, manual exfoliation, targeted extractions, and lymphatic plus tension-focused facial massage. Each step addresses common men's grooming concerns—beard-area buildup, congestion, and razor irritation—while the customized mask and neck-and-shoulder massage support tissue relaxation and comfort throughout the 75-minute session.
During and after the facial, we use skinbetter science® Cleansing Gel and Solo Hydrating Defense MEN, finishing with sunbetter® SHEER lotion 70 SPF for UV protection. The treatment price is $150, and the session is designed for maintenance and ongoing skin health rather than a one-time corrective procedure.
Customization and technology options
Customization is chosen at consultation: LED Light Therapy, High-Frequency treatment, or Beard Ritual support are selected based on skin condition, shaving habits, and beard care needs. These options allow estheticians to prioritize calming inflammation, aiding follicle clearance, or addressing beard-area buildup without changing the core treatment sequence.
Because Columbia's humid subtropical climate and commuting lifestyle can increase oil, sweat, and pollen exposure, your esthetician will weigh environmental and lifestyle factors when recommending add-ons. Busy professionals who pop in before or after I-77 or North Beltline commutes may prefer faster post-care, while others choose more restorative options for weekend or evening sessions.
Aftercare and maintenance guidance
After the facial you may feel relaxed with temporary redness in areas that received extractions; this typically settles within a day or two. We apply sunbetter® SHEER lotion 70 SPF at the end to reinforce UV protection—an important step in Columbia's variable seasons, especially during sunny summers and the winter months when clients focus on protection.
Ongoing maintenance appointments are selected based on skin condition and lifestyle; estheticians provide personalized intervals rather than a fixed schedule. Note that demand increases in February, June and December—driven by Valentine’s Day prep, Father's Day gifts, and winter skin protection—so plan and book early around those months.
