Skin Sculptor Studio

The studio was founded by Kannanat, who also formulates its skincare and works as master esthetician. It treats facial aging as a structural change that can be guided rather than a flaw to correct. Each client's skin and facial structure is assessed to find which of the three Ds of aging is most prominent: Degeneration, Deflation or Descent. Techniques, device modes, order and focus areas are then adjusted for each session.

The signature AgeSculpt facial is listed at $600 and takes about three hours for a single session. It pairs the studio's SkinFitness skin-care philosophy with FaceFitness, its method for training facial muscles and connective tissue. A device with seven energy modes works across six layers of the face, with microcurrent gloves used for sculpting and a conductive metal mask as a final step. No needles or injectables are used. According to the studio, lift and contouring are visible after one session, and the lifting and de-puffing effects generally last one to two weeks, varying with age, skin condition and lifestyle. For longer-term muscle strengthening the studio recommends four to six sessions, followed by maintenance every four to six weeks. Clients are asked to arrive with clean skin without makeup or heavy skincare, and to limit caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours beforehand. Recent Botox or filler, recent facial surgery, open wounds, active skin infection or severe acne are reasons to wait or avoid the treatment, and clients with circulation-related conditions are advised to check with their doctor first.

HydraFACIAL is a non-invasive, multi-step facial of 60 minutes at $295 or 90 minutes at $350. Its steps are cleansing and exfoliation, a glycolic and salicylic acid peel, suction extraction, hyaluronic acid hydration, and an antioxidant and peptide finish, delivered on a device the studio calls Vortex-Fusion. It can be adapted for sensitive, oily or combination skin, and the studio suggests a visit every four to six weeks. Results are stated to typically last five to seven days, and makeup is best held off for at least six hours afterward. The studio describes the treatment as having no downtime and no discomfort. It can be paired with the MBA Facelift, LED Light Therapy or Collagen-Boosting Superjection. Superjection facials are needle-free and generally spaced two to four weeks apart, and CollagenFiller and HyaFiller facials can be combined in one session.
