Why Your Skin Looks Tired, Dull, and Uneven
Science-Based Solutions
Every day, your skin faces environmental aggressors—UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals—that damage cellular DNA and accelerate visible aging. Over time, this cumulative damage leads to dullness, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines, and a loss of that healthy glow. Dead skin buildup traps debris in pores, contributing to congestion and breakouts. Standard facials may feel relaxing, but they rarely address the root cause of these concerns at the cellular level.
The Mint Condition Facial at Mint Aesthetics & Skin in Indianapolis is engineered to reverse this cycle. Neova SmartSkincare's patented DNA repair enzymes work at the molecular level to correct photodamage, while GHK-Copper peptides stimulate collagen synthesis and accelerate healing. Combined with precision dermaplaning to remove dead skin and vellus hair, professional extractions, lymphatic massage, and custom serums selected for your unique skin type, this facial delivers visible transformation—not just temporary pampering.
What Is the Mint Condition Facial?
DNA Repair Technology Meets Clinical Skincare
The Mint Condition Facial is a signature treatment exclusive to Mint Aesthetics & Skin that combines advanced science with luxurious care. At its core, this facial uses Neova SmartSkincare products featuring patented DNA repair enzymes (photolyase and endonuclease technology) that actively reverse UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells. These aren't ordinary skincare ingredients—they're clinically studied compounds that repair pyrimidine dimers, the specific DNA lesions caused by sun exposure.
GHK-Copper peptides, the second powerhouse ingredient, are naturally occurring tripeptides that decline with age. When applied topically, GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promotes skin remodeling, and provides potent antioxidant protection. The facial also includes dermaplaning—a precise exfoliation technique using a sterile surgical blade to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz)—followed by professional extractions, a lymphatic drainage massage to reduce puffiness and promote detoxification, and custom-blended serums and moisturizers tailored to your specific skin concerns.

Side Effects & Safety
What to Know
The Mint Condition Facial is a gentle, non-invasive treatment with an excellent safety profile. Most clients experience no adverse effects and return to normal activities immediately.
Common (mild, temporary): Slight pinkness or mild redness for 1-2 hours post-treatment, particularly after dermaplaning and extractions. Minor skin sensitivity to products or sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
Uncommon: Small pinpoint spots at extraction sites that resolve within hours. Temporary tightness as new products absorb into freshly exfoliated skin.
Rare: Allergic reaction to a product ingredient (Keely performs a patch test if you have sensitive or reactive skin). Minor breakout (purging) in the days following treatment as congestion is brought to the surface.
To minimize any risk, Keely reviews your skin history, current products, and sensitivities before every treatment. All tools are sterile and single-use where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mint Condition Facial FAQs
01 What is the Mint Condition Facial?
The Mint Condition Facial is a signature treatment at Mint Aesthetics & Skin that combines Neova SmartSkincare's patented DNA repair enzymes and GHK-Copper peptides with dermaplaning, extractions, lymphatic massage, and custom serums. It's designed to repair sun damage, boost collagen, and deliver immediate radiance in a single 45-minute session.
02 What is dermaplaning and does it hurt?
Dermaplaning is a painless exfoliation technique where a sterile surgical blade gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Most clients describe the sensation as a light brushing. It creates a smoother surface for better product absorption and a flawless makeup application.
03 What are copper peptides and how do they benefit my skin?
GHK-Copper (GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring tripeptide that declines with age. When applied topically, it stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan production, promotes wound healing, and provides antioxidant protection. In the Mint Condition Facial, copper peptides help firm skin, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin health.
04 What is Neova SmartSkincare?
Neova SmartSkincare is a medical-grade skincare line featuring patented DNA repair enzyme technology. Their products contain photolyase and endonuclease enzymes that actively repair UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells—going beyond surface-level treatment to address aging at its molecular source.
05 What skin concerns does the Mint Condition Facial treat?
This facial effectively addresses dullness, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines and wrinkles, clogged pores, rough texture, and sun damage. It's also beneficial for clients with early signs of aging who want to maintain a youthful, healthy complexion.
06 How is the Mint Condition Facial different from other facials?
Unlike standard spa facials that focus on relaxation, the Mint Condition Facial uses clinically studied DNA repair enzymes and copper peptides that work at the cellular level. Combined with medical-grade dermaplaning and a personalized serum blend selected by Keely Phelps, PA, it delivers therapeutic results alongside a luxurious experience.
07 How often should I get this facial?
For optimal results, Keely recommends scheduling your Mint Condition Facial every 4-6 weeks. This aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle and allows cumulative benefits from the DNA repair enzymes and copper peptides to build over time.
