AI-Optimized Premium Skincare Treatments & Facials
At The Hidden Trough in Aiken, SC, we use advanced AI technology to deliver data-driven aesthetic treatments tailored to each client. Instead of relying on preset machine settings, our system analyzes your skin or scalp and combines multiple devices, techniques, and custom serums in a precise sequence to maximize results—without increasing cost.
We also track your progress through detailed scans that reveal issues beneath the surface and measure improvement over time. Each treatment, whether for hair, scalp, or skin, is intelligently customized for clear, measurable results—guided by innovation, accuracy, and care.
Facials and Skin Rejuvenation
Reveal your most radiant complexion with treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs—from our Basic Facial and Vitamin C Facial to advanced therapies like Obagi Blue Peel Radiance. Each experience refines, brightens, and restores balance for a luminous glow.
Advanced Skin Treatments
Refine and rejuvenate your complexion with our advanced Microneedling treatments, designed to smooth texture, firm the skin, and enhance natural radiance. Featuring the SkinPen and Scarlet RF, each session stimulates collagen renewal for visible lift and lasting luminosity.
Hair & Scalp Care
Reawaken your scalp’s vitality with the DERIVE Hair Wellness System. This innovative treatment restores balance, promotes thicker, fuller hair, and enhances overall scalp health. Like a well-groomed mane, your hair will feel stronger, shinier, and more resilient after every session.
Exfoliation & Add-Ons
Refresh your skin with our gentle Dermaplaning and Facial Waxing services. These treatments remove dull surface cells and fine hair, leaving your skin silky-smooth, radiant, and ready to absorb nourishing products more effectively — for a fresh, glowing complexion every time.
Body Contouring & Wellness
Harness the power of motion and renewal with sculpting treatments designed to tone, detoxify, and restore. Our Cryo Sculpting / Tightening Therapy and Lymphatic Treatment combine modern technology with time-honored techniques to smooth contours and enhance circulation for a naturally refined silhouette.
Packages
Revitalize your body and skin with our treatment bundles. Each package combines advanced therapies and holistic techniques to soothe muscles, enhance radiance, and restore balance — with options like Cryo Sculpting, RF Microneedling, Lymphatic Massage, and facials.
Consultation
With every consultation, we use the Spectrum AI Facial Imaging Device, which features a high-resolution skin magnifier for detailed analysis of specific areas. This advanced technology is an essential tool for professional skin diagnostics, anti-aging treatments, and personalized skincare programs.

The Hidden Trough Difference
What sets The Hidden Trough apart?
Our protocols. We follow advanced, highly detailed treatment standards that go far beyond the industry norm.
Take Scarlet RF Microneedling as an example:
While most providers use a single device and complete only three steps, we use five specialized devices and perform a comprehensive 10-step protocol to ensure deeper results, greater precision, and a noticeably better outcome.
We take pride in being Veteran-Owned, bringing discipline, integrity, and excellence to every service we provide.
