Step-by-step treatment process overview
Your appointment begins with a brief skin consultation and a gentle cleanse so the technician can tailor strength and timing. The controlled glycolic acid resurfacing is applied next to loosen dead surface cells and reveal fresher texture underneath. Growth factors are layered after to support recovery and hydration, and the session finishes with LED therapy to enhance cellular response.
The full session runs 80 MINUTES and includes time for consultation and post-treatment guidance. During the acid portion you may feel mild tingling; the LED portion produces a gentle warmth. Many clients describe the service as both relaxing and informative, and it’s especially popular during seasonal transitions in March, April, October and November.
Active ingredients and effects
Glycolic acid in this facial acts as a controlled resurfacer: it loosens compacted surface cells to improve texture and soften fine lines over time. Application strength and duration are adjusted to your skin sensitivity so the treatment is therapeutic without being unnecessarily harsh.
Topical growth factors are applied after resurfacing to support the skin’s natural recovery processes and to help retain moisture. LED therapy follows to complement those steps; clients often report a refreshed, hydrated look afterward and appreciation for the calming LED phase described in many reviews.
Aftercare, downtime and timing
Downtime is typically minimal but can include temporary redness or sensitivity after the glycolic step. Because chemical resurfacing increases sun sensitivity, you’ll receive post-care guidance and a strong recommendation to use broad-spectrum sunscreen. SkinHappy staff is known for providing clear, non-pushy product recommendations and plans tailored to local climate and lifestyle.
The service costs $165 and lasts 80 MINUTES. SkinHappy accommodates downtown commuters, I-385 drivers, and visitors to Falls Park with convenient evening and weekend bookings. Your technician may recommend a follow-up plan or pairing with other treatments depending on goals; any ongoing schedule will be personalized during consultation.
