Treatment steps and technique
The Teen Facial Treatment follows a focused sequence designed for sensitive, developing skin: a double cleanse, Glaze + Glow exfoliation, and targeted extractions when appropriate. Next, LED therapy is applied beneath a cooling mask, followed by cold globe therapy over the mask, finishing hydration and broad‑spectrum SPF to protect skin after the session.
Each step addresses common teen concerns without aggressive intervention: cleansing removes oil and surface buildup, exfoliation helps even texture, and extractions clear mild congestion when safe. LED and cooling therapies are used to calm and reduce visible irritation, while finishing hydration and SPF support barrier health and daily environmental protection in Columbia's humid climate.
Who benefits and limitations
This service is ideal for clients ages 12–19 who are beginning a routine or managing mild oiliness, dehydration, texture irregularities, or occasional breakouts. It is designed as an educational, supportive facial rather than a medical acne treatment; teens with severe or cystic acne should consult a medical provider before booking.
Practical details shape the appointment: there is no changing for this service and minors under age 18 must have the "Minor Client – Parent/Legal Guardian Consent" form completed and signed before treatment. Our Forest Acres location is easy to reach from North Beltline and I-77, convenient for busy families pairing appointments with errands.
At-home care and education
Home-care education is a core part of the treatment: technicians review basic routines — gentle cleansing, appropriate moisturizing, and consistent broad‑spectrum SPF — while keeping guidance simple and age‑appropriate. We also address regional factors such as humid summers and spring pollen, which can affect oil production and irritation, so recommendations are practical for local Columbia conditions.
Aftercare is straightforward: mild, temporary redness can occur after extractions, and teens should follow the at‑home steps reviewed during the appointment. The treatment lasts exactly 60 minutes and costs $115; bringing any regular skincare products or a list of ingredients helps the technician tailor advice to each teen's existing routine.
