Initial consultation and skin analysis
Your first visit begins with a focused consultation and skin analysis tailored to acne concerns. We'll review your medical history, current routine, and any products you bring; please bring them. The consultation portion helps the esthetician decide between the classic facial or the acne-focused protocol and determines if the 30-minute consultation-only option is more appropriate.
The appointment is scheduled for 80 minutes and combines consultation with a full facial when you choose the New Client Facial - Acne. During that time we'll perform a targeted assessment, choose appropriate exfoliation or dermabrasion if needed, and outline a follow-up plan suited to Greenville's climate and your lifestyle.
Cleansing, steam and full extractions
Treatment starts with Deep Pore Cleansing and steam to soften debris, followed by full extractions if they are necessary. Extractions are performed carefully to reduce the chance of irritation; if extensive work is required we may pace extraction to minimize inflammation and protect skin integrity.
Appropriate exfoliation or dermabrasion will be selected based on your skin assessment and tolerance. Hydration completes the facial to support barrier function; we avoid promising specific outcomes, instead focusing on safe, evidence-informed steps that respect your skin's condition and the active, outdoors-oriented lifestyles common in Greenville.
Aftercare and local considerations
Aftercare instructions are tailored to your treatment and products reviewed during the visit; please bring your full routine for an honest evaluation. We provide no-pressure product suggestions and clear guidance on how to integrate new steps, timing any follow-up treatments around your schedule and commute needs.
We know Greenville clients often book after work or on weekends; SkinHappy offers easy evening and weekend bookings to accommodate commuters from I-385 and downtown. The local humid climate and outdoor activity can influence oil and moisture balance, so aftercare focuses on practical adjustments rather than dramatic promises.
