About

Skinn Cave was founded by esthetician Candace Sullivan and operates as a skincare studio in Gastonia. The team aims to tailor care to each client rather than offering standard treatments: they assess a client's skin, then build a plan around it. The space is described by the studio as a spa-style setting.

The facial menu includes Reset, Clarity, Radiance, Firm + Renew and Hydro Infusion facials. Reset is described as a barrier repair treatment, Clarity as addressing acne and congestion, Radiance as aimed at brightening and even tone, and Firm + Renew as aimed at lifting and firming. Hydro Infusion is a hydrafacial focused on deep cleansing, pore refinement and hydration. Other facials and treatments include Back in Balance, Balance + Restore, Calm & Courage, Sacred Skin, O2 Aura Deluxe, Scalp Revitalizing and a Back Facial for cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating the back. The Korean facial menu includes Coastal Calm Recovery, Glass Skin Hydration, Korean Skin Reset, Korean Clarifying + Balancing, Advanced Correction, Luxe Skin Regeneration and Signature Experience.

Advanced treatments are a separate menu grouped into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1 includes Skin Refinement, Skin Reset Therapy and Collagen Renewal Therapy. Level 2 includes Corrective Peel, Glass Skin Infusion and Advanced Regenerative Therapy. Level 3 includes Advanced Resurfacing and Skin Regeneration. These are offered as a progressive series of sessions rather than a single visit, and the studio addresses acne, hyperpigmentation, sensitivity and signs of aging. Level 2 and Level 3 require a consultation and skin preparation before booking, and treatments are typically recommended about every four weeks. Scar and stretch mark revision therapy comes in small, medium and large areas, using Procell MD Serum with microchanneling; the studio gives approximate sizes of up to about 8 by 8 inches, 12 by 12 inches and 16 by 16 inches.

Bryght brightening treatments target excess melanin rather than lightening the skin overall, and are offered for the face and body as well as intimate areas. Each session moves through cleansing, exfoliating, brightening and setting, with an optional LED wand. Packages of three or six sessions are discounted by 10 and 15 percent. The studio says most clients reach their natural skin tone after three to five professional sessions, and that results vary, with skin tone typically one to three shades lighter after the first. Bryght is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and hair should be removed beforehand, with a wax appointment suggested first. Brightening prices start at 45 US dollars for smaller areas.

Body waxing is offered for men and women and covers arms, legs, underarms, back, chest, stomach, bikini and Brazilian areas, buttocks, face, brows, lip, ears, neck and shoulders. Post-wax options include a hydrojelly mask, a calming jelly mask and a high frequency treatment. Waxing results typically last three to six weeks. Hair should be about a quarter inch long, usually two to three weeks after shaving. Clients are asked to exfoliate the area 24 hours before, avoid sun and tanning for 24 to 48 hours before, and stop topical retinoids such as Retin-A at least five to seven days before. Clients who have had a chemical peel should wait at least six weeks before waxing. Afterward, heat such as hot showers, saunas and workouts should be avoided for 24 hours, and exfoliating avoided for 48 hours.

Aesthetics Membership gives preferred pricing on the monthly facial ritual and a complimentary enhancement. The studio recommends a facial or treatment about every four weeks to match the skin renewal cycle. Gift cards can be bought online or as physical cards at the location. Same-day appointments can be requested by calling or texting 704-941-6999. The studio describes itself as an oncology certified space that is safe for clients undergoing cancer treatment.

Care is personalized and built around a barrier-first sequence of restoring, strengthening and then correcting the skin. The studio draws on Korean skincare philosophy and uses clinical-grade techniques.

A spa-style space, as the studio describes it.
