Customized Facial in Atlanta, GA
Your Skin, Your Plan.
Lequawn James, NP-C, builds every customized facial around what your skin is actually doing today.
If your skin hasn’t been responding the way you’d expect, you’re in the right place. At Gentle Giant Care, we build every customized facial in Atlanta, GA, around a direct read of your skin, not a preset menu. Lequawn James personally leads every consultation and treatment, evaluating your skin type, concerns, and reactivity before selecting each product and step, so your personalized facial treatment is designed around your anatomy.
What Can a Customized Facial Address?
- Uneven skin tone: Post-inflammatory marks and sun discoloration distributed unevenly across the face.
- Dry and dehydrated skin: Tight, rough, or flaky skin lacking essential moisture and barrier support.
- Oily skin and congested pores: Excess sebum production, enlarged pores, and surface buildup.
- Acne-prone skin: Active breakouts, clogged pores, and inflammation requiring targeted care.
- Sensitive and reactive skin: Surface redness, easily irritated skin, and compromised barrier function.
This facial treatment works within what your skin can address at the surface level. Lequawn explains what realistic improvement looks like for your skin type and concerns at your consultation.
What You'll Notice
- Cleaner pores and smoother texture: Professional exfoliation and extraction achieve what surface cleansing cannot.
- A more even complexion: Consistent treatment reduces surface-level discoloration over time.
- Refreshed skin, no visible sign of treatment: No redness or downtime in most cases.
- Hydration that holds: Clinical-grade products applied in the correct sequence deliver what most home routines cannot.
- A clearer skin picture: A better understanding of what your skin needs and which habits are working against it.
The Gentle Giant Difference
Your Skin Isn’t A Template.
Every skin type carries its concerns differently, and what’s driving your breakouts or dry patches isn’t the same as the next person’s. Lequawn reads all of it before deciding on products, techniques, and sequence. Nothing here runs off a script, and nothing gets handed to rotating staff.
- PERSONAL: Your plan is built around your skin's current condition by the founder himself.
- PRECISE: Product and technique selection are determined by assessment, not defaults.
- NATURAL: The goal is genuinely healthier skin, not a temporary surface result.
Which Facial Is Right for You?
We build every customized facial in Atlanta, GA, around your skin type because different conditions require different approaches. Product selection, technique, and treatment sequence all shift depending on what Lequawn finds during your assessment. Having that flexibility means the session gets built around your skin rather than a standard menu.
| Oily / Acne-Prone | Dry / Dehydrated | Sensitive / Reactive | Dull / Aging |
What’s being addressed | Excess sebum, breakouts, and congested pores | Tight, rough, or flaky skin lacking moisture | Redness, reactivity, and product sensitivity | Buildup, uneven texture, and early expression lines |
Primary focus | Targeted extractions and oil-balancing product selection | Hydration-forward products and barrier support | Gentle exfoliation with minimal irritation | Exfoliation, brightening support, and antioxidant nourishment |
Typical cadence | Every 4-6 weeks | Every 4-6 weeks | Every 4-6 weeks | Every 4-6 weeks |
Results | Individual | Individual | Individual | Individual |
You don’t have to identify your skin type before your appointment. Lequawn will recommend the approach that fits your skin, your concerns, and your goals.
Meet Lequawn James
Lequawn James, MSN, APRN, AGNP-C, CHC
Founder • Nurse Practitioner • Master Injector
Lequawn didn’t come to this work from a cosmetic background. He spent his first eight years in emergency and critical care.
He spent more than eight years in emergency and critical care, settings where you learn to read anatomy quickly, where a rushed judgment isn’t an option, and where you get used to treating a whole person rather than a single complaint.
That’s the standard he brought with him. Nothing here is handed off. He does your consultation, assesses your skin, and delivers your treatment himself, so the person who listened to what you wanted is the same person deciding what goes on your face.
What To Expect
1. Consultation
Lequawn reviews your skin concerns, current routine, and any sensitivities or recent changes.
2. Assessment
He evaluates your skin directly: oil balance, texture, and active concerns. He then outlines the plan and confirms product choices with you before beginning.
3. Treatment
Your customized facial is performed in a sequence matched to your skin. Most sessions are completed within 60 minutes.
4. Results
Most patients leave with visibly cleaner, calmer skin. Consistent appointments support longer-term improvements in tone, texture, and skin health.
Is This Right for You?
You may be a good fit if you:
- Are in good general health with no active skin infection
- Want to address acne, uneven tone, dryness, or sensitivity with a clinical approach
- Are looking for a medical spa with professional facial assessment rather than a preset menu
- Prefer a non-invasive approach to skin care
What doesn’t a customized facial do? Facials work at the surface and upper skin layers. They aren’t designed for significant volume loss, deep structural laxity, or persistent pigmentation requiring targeted clinical intervention. If that’s your main concern, Lequawn will walk you through better-suited options such as dermal fillers, Endolift®, or skin resurfacing during your consultation.

FAQs
What's included in a customized facial?
It depends on what your skin needs that day. After evaluating your skin, Lequawn selects from cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, masks, serums, and finishing SPF.
How often should you get a facial?
For most patients, scheduling facials in Atlanta, GA, every four to six weeks can help support consistent skin health. Your ideal schedule will depend on your skin type and goals.

A customized facial for acne-prone skin uses products and techniques suited to breakout-prone skin, adapted based on your history at the start of your appointment.
Can I get a facial if my skin is sensitive?
A facial for sensitive skin types at Gentle Giant Care is built around your reactivity level, with product selection designed to minimize irritation.
How much does a customized facial cost?
