October to February
Peels and microneedling
Low sun and lower humidity: the months for the stronger work, so new skin is not met by a July afternoon on Folly.
Facials and treatments · Wagener Terrace
Facials and peels in Charleston, planned by the season.
Six treatments in a converted single house in Wagener Terrace. Estheticians for facials, dermaplaning and lighter peels; a registered nurse for microneedling and stronger peels, under protocols our physician medical director wrote. Prices on every page, nothing sold in the room.
Six treatments
The right hands for each, and the price on the page.
Charleston seasons
The weather decides the treatment.
March to May
Pollen and calm
Yellow cars and itchy skin. Gentle cleansing, barrier repair and the acne facial if spring breakouts are your pattern.
June to September
Hydration and restraint
Humid, hot and shiny but still tight underneath. Lighter layers, the hydration facial, and a sunscreen you will actually wear.
How to choose
How to choose a facial studio, here or anywhere
01
Ask who does what
Estheticians, nurses and physicians have different scopes. A studio should tell you who performs each treatment, by name.
02
Ask what happens to your routine
If the answer is a basket of new products, the facial was the sales pitch.
03
Ask about the season
A studio that will peel you in July has not thought about Charleston sun.
Results vary from person to person. Nothing on this page is a promise of an outcome, and a treatment may be postponed or declined if your skin is not ready for it.
