Barton Springs Studio Licensed Since 2020

We perform measured clinical skincare and structured esthetics in quiet treatment rooms.

Cosmetiva is a physical esthetics practice in South Austin for adults seeking tactile skin restoration. We combine manual comedone extraction, calibrated acid peels, HydraFacial vortex infusion, and waterless diamond e-file nail architecture without sales chatter or wellness hyperbole.

Every step on our treatment table follows verified physical parameters.

We reject the industry habit of vague aromatherapy facials. In our Austin practice, every session is measured in bench minutes, peel percentages, and suction calibration.

Whether you need manual extraction for congested pores or diamond abrasion to clear keratin build-up, we select the tools that respect your stratum corneum.

"My skin flares whenever I book a standard spa facial. How do you handle sensitive or sensitized barriers without breaking out?"
Cosmetiva Esthetician Protocol

We do not blow boiling steam into fragile facial capillaries. We do not use aggressive mechanical walnut scrubs, and we do not apply heavily fragranced essential oils. When an adult client arrives with a compromised lipid barrier or reactive skin, we begin with an ultrasonic water scrubber operating at 28 kHz. This loosens dried sebum without skin shearing.

For comedone clearing, we perform manual extraction using sterile lancets and cotton-wrapped fingertips under magnification. We apply an unbuffered 20% lactic acid peel balanced with arginine, which provides gentle enzymatic desquamation rather than burning the epidermis. We finish with medical-grade 633nm red LED light phototherapy to calm redness and press biomimetic ceramides and squalane into the skin.

Session: 60 or 75 min Facial Range: $20–$450 Tools: Ultrasound, 633nm LED

"What dictates whether a treatment costs $20 for a quick add-on or $450 for a full apparatus session?"
Cosmetiva Esthetician Protocol

Our fees are never arbitrary, and we do not produce speculative quotes. In accordance with our verified schedule, facial treatments span $20 to $450, body treatments span $15 to $235, hair and scalp services span $55 to $160, and structured nail care spans $15 to $85.

A $20 procedure is a 15-minute targeted add-on, such as a high-frequency spot treatment or an alginate eye compress integrated into a primary booking. A $450 protocol is an intensive 90-minute multi-apparatus service combining clinical dermaplaning, a multi-phase HydraFacial vortex peel, full-face diamond microdermabrasion, high-potency peptide infusion, and therapeutic LED irradiation. The price depends on five concrete factors: the bench duration (30, 60, 75, or 90 minutes), the physical machinery utilized, active cosmetic acids consumed, the practitioner's credentials, and whether the service takes place in the private studio or our supervised apprentice clinic.

Cosmetiva Esthetician Protocol

Our studio was founded on a strict quiet room policy. We do not work on retail commissions, and our licensed estheticians are forbidden from pitching retail merchandise while you are resting on the table.

Before we lower the lighting, we discuss your skin history, allergies, and contraindications. Once treatment commences, conversation is kept strictly to mechanical checks: verifying comfort, temperature, and suction levels. If you select our "Silent Session" option on your booking form, we do not speak at all except for necessary safety notices.

"What is the difference between booking a private studio session and signing up as a training model?"
Cosmetiva Esthetician Protocol

Cosmetiva functions as both a clinical studio and an advanced training facility for licensed Texas estheticians. In a private studio session, your protocol is handled exclusively from start to finish by an experienced master practitioner with continuous tenure since 2020.

In our educational clinic, treatments are carried out by licensed apprentices undergoing technique refinement in dermaplaning, chemical peel application, or Russian e-file nail shaping. A master educator stands directly at the table to monitor angle, pressure, and timing. Educational model sessions are scheduled at reduced baseline rates (e.g., $45 to $75 for structured services) to offset the slower pace and verbal instruction in the room.
