Skinology

Overview

Skinology, LLC is a premium skincare and esthetician studio specializing in results-driven, non-invasive treatments for skin rejuvenation, body contouring, and aesthetic enhancements. Located in Columbia, SC, and led by experienced esthetician Katie Cauthen (Kathleen Cauthen), the business emphasizes pampering in a relaxing, VIP atmosphere where clients feel like the most important person.
