The Only Facial Vista Dermatology, MO

The Only Facial operates as The Only Facial LLC and has locations in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. Visits center on one facial rather than a long menu, and the business describes itself as a top-rated facial spa.

The Signature Facial is a 60-minute, 11-step facial for clients 18 and older, with each step adjusted to the client's skin type and concerns. Steps include cleansing, brow shaping, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, a chemical peel or enzyme exfoliation, massage, extractions, LED light therapy, microcurrent or high-frequency treatment, a treatment mask, and hydration for the eye area with SPF. The single price covers the whole visit, gratuity included, and the site says there are no upsells.

The Teen Facial is a 60-minute visit for clients aged 13 to 17. It addresses skin concerns typical of the pre-teen and teen years and includes skin care education for the teen.

Prices vary by location. The Signature Facial runs from $125 to $155 and the Teen Facial from $90 to $115.

After a facial, the business says three to five days of dryness and mild flaking is normal, and suggests a natural oil for hydration during that time. A high-frequency wand is used during facials to help control bacteria and reduce inflammation. A breakout that appears after a treatment can be treated again in the same area at no charge by returning to the location. Children are not permitted at appointments, so clients should arrange childcare beforehand. Gift cards and gift boxes are sold through the website.

The business states that every aesthetician receives best-in-class training for all skin types, and that dermaplaning does not make facial vellus hair grow back thicker or darker. These are the business's own statements.

Built around ongoing maintenance rather than one-time treatments, with the aim of lasting skin results at any age or skin type. Clients are advised to return for a facial every four to six weeks.
