What Is the Student Spa at Skin Science Institute?

The student spa at Skin Science Institute is a professional training clinic with locations in Sandy and Orem, Utah. It offers high-end skincare treatments and medical esthetic services at reduced prices, performed by students under licensed supervision. If you want advanced facial or medical esthetic treatments at a lower cost than a typical med spa, and you're comfortable being treated by a student-in-training, this is the model it uses.

What services are offered

According to the school's own description, the student spa provides:

• High-end skincare treatments — the kind of facials and skin services taught in the esthetics programs
• Medical esthetic services — advanced procedures beyond basic skincare

The school also notes that students in its advanced esthetics track assist with cosmetic injections, dermaplaning, and other advanced esthetic procedures, gaining real-world medical spa experience. That means the student spa environment is where some of that hands-on advanced training happens.

Who performs the treatments

Every service is performed by a student enrolled in one of the school's esthetics programs, working under licensed supervision. This is the key difference from a standard spa or med spa: the person treating you is in training, not a fully licensed practicing esthetician working independently.

The school's programs that feed into this training include:

Students in these programs are the ones gaining the practical experience the student spa provides.

Why prices are lower

The school states plainly that student spa services are offered at reduced prices. The trade-off is straightforward: you pay less because the work is done by a student still completing their training, with a licensed professional overseeing the treatment. You are not paying for the overhead and margins of a fully staffed commercial med spa.

Who this is for

The student spa suits you if:

• You want advanced skincare or medical esthetic treatments but are price-sensitive
• You don't mind being treated by a supervised student
• You're in or near Sandy or Orem, Utah

It may not suit you if you need a specific licensed practitioner with years of independent experience, or if your treatment requires a level of judgment only a fully licensed provider should make on their own.

How to book or learn more

The school directs prospective clients and students to schedule a tour at either the Sandy or Orem campus, where you can ask about class schedules, tuition, and financial aid. For spa services specifically, the school's site lists the student spa as a distinct offering alongside its courses, finance, and continuing education sections — so the practical next step is to contact the campus directly to ask what treatments are currently available and what they cost, since specific service menus and prices are not published in the available information.
