College Glow-Up: Fast & Effective Skincare for Busy Students

Between late-night study sessions, cafeteria carbs, tight budgets, and packed class schedules, skincare often takes a back seat during college life. But here’s the truth—glowing, healthy skin doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.

Stress, minimal sleep, caffeine overload, and fluctuating hormones can wreak havoc on your complexion. Add in the occasional skipped cleanse or weekend pizza binge, and breakouts, dullness, or clogged pores are practically part of the syllabus.

At Platinum Sculpt, we believe every college student deserves to look and feel their best—without sacrificing study time or their social life. That’s why we’ve created fast, effective, and affordable skincare solutions designed specifically for busy students juggling academics, activities, and everything in between.

From HydraFacials in Bowling Green to DiamondGlow® facials in Lexington and quick lip flips in Winchester, our express services are the ultimate shortcut to confident, camera-ready skin—no matter how hectic your calendar is.

Whether you’re prepping for sorority rush, gearing up for internship interviews, or just want to glow in that group selfie, we’ve got the perfect glow-up plan tailored to your skin and your schedule.

Fast & Effective Skincare Solutions at Platinum Sculpt

Express Facials: Glow in Under 45 Minutes

📍 Available in Lexington, Bowling Green & Winchester

Our Express Facial is a customized skincare treatment designed to refresh, rebalance, and revive your skin—fast. Each session is tailored to your skin type and concerns, using professional-grade products that cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate without the fuss of a full-length spa facial.

Your aesthetician will begin with a gentle cleanse to remove makeup, oil, and buildup from the day. This is followed by light exfoliation to slough away dead skin cells, a soothing mask or targeted treatment serum, and hydration to leave your skin glowing and smooth. Most sessions are complete in 30–45 minutes—perfect between classes, before a date, or during a much-needed study break.

Benefits:

• Instantly refreshes tired, stressed-out skin
• Helps unclog pores, reduce surface oil, and boost hydration
• Ideal for all skin types (even sensitive or acne-prone)
• No downtime, no irritation—just clean, healthy skin

Whether you’re prepping for a formal, job interview, or just want to walk into class glowing with confidence, our express facials are the perfect pick-me-up.

HydraFacial® – The Ultimate Skin Reset

📍 Only available at: Platinum Sculpt – Bowling Green

The HydraFacial® is a cult-favorite, medical-grade facial that delivers instant glow with no downtime—making it the perfect choice for busy college students who want real results, fast. It’s not just a facial—it’s a three-step, deep-cleaning and skin-boosting treatment that works for all skin types, including acne-prone, dry, or congested skin.

The HydraFacial® uses patented Vortex-Fusion® technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin with nourishing serums—all in one gentle, non-invasive session. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

1. Cleanse + Peel: Removes dead skin cells and preps your pores.
2. Extract + Hydrate: Painless suction clears out debris while powerful moisturizers quench the skin.

DiamondGlow® – Glow Beyond the Surface

📍 Exclusive to our Lexington location

The DiamondGlow® Facial is a next-level skin treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion—all in one luxurious, results-driven session. Unlike traditional facials, DiamondGlow doesn’t just treat the surface. It goes deeper to cleanse and rejuvenate from the inside out, making it ideal for college students wanting that lit-from-within glow with minimal effort.

DiamondGlow uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate the skin while simultaneously vacuuming out impurities and infusing SkinMedica® professional-grade serums directly into the pores. The entire process is customizable, based on your skin type and goals.

• Step 1: Exfoliation – Sloughs off dead skin and smooths texture
• Step 2: Extraction – Painlessly removes congestion and blackheads
• Step 3: Infusion – Delivers targeted serums for hydration, brightening, or clarifying

This multitasking facial is especially effective for those dealing with:

• Dull or tired skin
• Blackheads and clogged pores
• Post-acne marks and light scarring
• Uneven tone or rough texture

Benefits for Busy Students:

• Instantly brightens and refines the skin in just one visit
• Leaves skin smooth, hydrated, and makeup-ready
• No downtime—just a fresh, healthy glow
• Great before presentations, photoshoots, or nights out
• Supports long-term skin health when done regularly

Quick Confidence Boosters: Lip Flip & Filler Lite

📍 Available in Lexington, Bowling Green & Winchester

Looking for a subtle, confidence-boosting tweak before a big event or just want to elevate your look without going full glam? Our Lip Flip and Filler Lite options are the perfect low-commitment, high-impact treatments for students who want fast results with zero pressure.

Lip Flip with Botox®

This 10–15 minute treatment uses a small amount of Botox® to relax the muscle around the upper lip, allowing it to naturally "flip" outward—creating the illusion of a fuller, more defined pout without adding volume.

How It Works:

• Botox® is injected above the upper lip to soften the muscle pull.
• Creates a lifted, more pronounced shape while maintaining movement.
• Subtle enhancement that wears off gradually over 6–8 weeks.

Perfect for:

• First-timers not ready for filler
• Enhancing your natural shape for photos, formals, or date night
• Students on a budget who still want a polished look

Mini Lip Filler (½ Syringe)

For students wanting more noticeable volume—without going overboard—our Mini Filler option is the ultimate in natural, balanced enhancement.

How It Works:

• We use a half syringe of premium dermal filler to plump and hydrate the lips.
• Enhances shape, symmetry, and definition with soft, kissable results.
• Minimal swelling, no downtime, and results that last 6–12 months.

Great for:

• Softening lip lines
• Subtle volume boost
• Creating a smooth canvas for lip gloss or makeup

Pricing:

• Treatments start at $99–$400, depending on the product and provider
• Complimentary consultations always included to find your best option
