About

About Face Skin & Body Wellness is a skin care studio in the Hillcrest area of San Diego, opened in 2004 by owner and aesthetician Bill Winfree. The studio describes itself as small and private, aiming for an environment where each client feels comfortable, and it presents its service as individual and one-on-one rather than the service of larger spas.

Every facial begins with a full skin analysis and includes a customized masque and a face, neck and shoulder massage. Any facial can be done as a back facial, and staff will recommend a treatment for anyone unsure which suits their skin type. Appointments can be booked through the studio's GlossGenius page or by calling or texting (619) 743-0265. Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11am to 8pm, Saturday 10am to 5pm, and the studio is closed Sunday, Monday and Thursday.

Chemical peels come in superficial, medium and deep depths. Superficial peels remove only the top layer of skin and usually leave some pinkness and mild flaking. Medium peels, usually TCA or Jessner, go deeper and have a longer recovery. Deep peels must be administered by a doctor or nurse. Clients are asked to prepare their skin for four to six weeks before any peel, and sunscreen is required after any peel or facial. Buying a series of three peels is offered for savings.

Facial prices run from a $50 hand treatment and a $60 express facial up to $160 for the LUX treatment with OxyGeneo. The studio also lists Clinical Conditioning Treatments, which it describes as corrective, following deeper chemical peels, with no downtime. Other offerings include microdermabrasion for the face, chest and hands, pre-laser shaving, waxing, airbrush tanning and MedSpa services.

Waxing needs hair at least a quarter inch long and is not offered to clients using Retin-A, Renova, prescription-strength glycolic acid, Accutane or prescribed acne medication. Clients are asked not to apply lotions or oil beforehand. Full body manscaping is a trimming service rather than waxing, and prices may change without notice.

Customized treatments built on cosmeceutical products and clinical treatments, tailored to each client's skin type and goals. The studio says it treats skin from the surface and from within.

A small, private studio where the aim is for every client to feel at ease.
