The Only Facial Des Peres, MO

The Only Facial operates locations across a number of US states, including Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee and Utah. The business says some people call it a spa, but it describes its focus as ongoing maintenance and progress toward long-lasting skin at any age or skin type. It also describes itself as a top-rated facial spa.

The Signature Facial is a 60-minute treatment for clients 18 and older, made up of 11 steps adjusted to each client's skin type and concerns. The steps include cleansing, brow work, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, a chemical peel or enzyme exfoliation, massage, extractions, LED light therapy, microcurrent or high frequency, a treatment mask, and hydration with SPF. A high-frequency wand is used to help control bacteria and reduce inflammation. The business describes facials as providing exfoliation and a detox, and notes that a facial may occasionally cause a breakout afterward. According to the FAQ, dermaplaning does not make vellus hair grow back thicker or darker.

The Teen Facial is a 60-minute service for clients aged 13 to 17, designed around skin concerns common in the pre-teen and teen years. It includes skin care education for the teen.

Facials are sold at one flat price that includes gratuity, with no tipping at the appointment and no upsells, according to the business. Prices vary by location: across the listed locations the Signature Facial ranges from $125 to $155 and the Teen Facial from $90 to $115. The business recommends a facial every 4 to 6 weeks. If a breakout appears after treatment, the area can be treated again at no charge. Clients may have 3 to 5 days of dryness and mild flaking afterward, and the FAQ suggests a natural oil for hydration during that time. Children are not permitted at appointments, so clients need to arrange childcare beforehand. Appointments can be booked online through the website.
