Choosing the right resurfacing method
Microdermabrasion, oxygen infusion and gentle chemical peels are different approaches to the same aim: slough away dull surface cells and encourage a clearer appearance on the neck or chest. Microdermabrasion mechanically exfoliates, oxygen infusion focuses on hydration support, and gentle peels use mild exfoliating agents. Each method varies in intensity and immediate sensory experience, so the choice balances desired effect and skin sensitivity.
Your technician in Athens will recommend a method based on visible concerns, skin sensitivity and lifestyle needs. Trade-offs include short-term redness versus more noticeable surface change, and how soon you need results before an event. This add-on is set up as a brief complement to a facial, with decision factors including cost, timing and tolerance for temporary flaking or warmth.
What to expect during treatment
A typical session begins with a quick consultation and cleansing of the neck or chest area. The chosen technique is applied for targeted resurfacing; you may feel light abrasion, cooling hydration or slight tingling depending on the method. Procedures are intentionally brief and focused for this add-on, allowing clients to combine it with a facial or fit it into a short schedule.
Appointments in our West Athens location are designed for convenience—many students and staff from the nearby UGA area use evening or weekend slots. The add-on is performed within a compact visit, noted as 30 MINUTES for planning purposes, and starts at the listed price, Starting at $40, so you can coordinate treatment with commuting or downtown plans.
Aftercare and results timeline
Expect immediate surface smoothing and a fresher look that may continue to improve over days as exfoliation completes. Mild redness or sensitivity is normal and typically short-lived; some clients experience slight flaking as older surface cells shed. Because outcomes vary by skin type and method, your provider will explain what to watch for and when to return for follow-up or maintenance.
Sun protection is essential after any resurfacing—Athens’s humid subtropical climate and summer sun can increase sensitivity. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen according to your technician’s guidance. If you plan pre-game, concert, or event pampering, schedule treatments so any mild redness or flaking subsides before you head downtown or to campus activities.
