Karabelle Esthetics

Karabelle Esthetics was founded by Kara Kucsma with the goal of helping clients reach their skincare goals in a relaxing setting. The studio is at Carmel Commons Blvd, Suite 130, in South Charlotte, and is described as a calm space where clients can unwind. Its focus is on acne treatments and relaxation facials.

The facial menu includes Sunset Glow, a 75-minute customized facial at $175 with a choice of scalp or décolleté massage and extractions if needed. Deep Bliss is a 105-minute customized facial at $215 with facial massage, scalp and décolleté massage, a mask, targeted serums, and extractions if needed. Reef Refresh is a 90-minute facial from $190 that combines custom exfoliation, a hydrating cold therapy mask, and a custom chemical peel, with an optional retinol 4% add-on. The business lists Reef Refresh as suited to acne, texture, and pigmentation, and recommends a series of 3 to 6 done every two weeks or monthly. The booking platform notes it is not for pregnant or nursing clients, or for clients with compromised or sensitive skin.

The RDS Factor Five Peel is a 75-minute peel the business describes as having no downtime. It is aimed at anti-aging, pigmentation, and large pores, and includes extractions, LED light therapy, an arm massage, and an aftercare kit; a series of 3 to 6 is recommended. Microneedling is a 90-minute collagen-boosting treatment listed for anti-aging, pigmentation, acne scars, and pore size. It is recommended as a series of 3 to 9, done monthly, and includes the Epicutis Lipid Recovery Mask. The business says its treatments are science-backed.

Booking and visit details: clients are asked to arrive 10 minutes early to secure parking and to complete and sign a consultation form before each visit. A 10-minute grace period applies, after which clients are charged 50% of the service and must reschedule. A 50% cancellation fee applies to no-shows and to cancellations within 24 hours. Clients are asked to reschedule for skin flare-ups, sunburn, or illness. Before facials, active skincare products are to be stopped 3 to 5 days ahead, and 5 to 7 days ahead of chemical peels; microneedling clients are asked to avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and hydroxy acids for 3 to 5 days. Afterward, clients are advised to wear SPF daily, skip at-home exfoliation for 2 to 3 days after facials, stay hydrated, and avoid sweating exercise, saunas, and swimming for 48 hours after microneedling. The online shop sells packages and gift cards, and Buy Now, Pay Later is available through the booking platform for bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment.

The business describes its treatments as science-backed and customizes each one to the client's skin needs, with education and personal guidance throughout.

A calm, quiet space where clients can relax.
