We’ve Been Dying to Share This: The Hidden Trough Aesthetics Wins One of South Carolina’s Most Prestigious Small Business Awards
We’ve been sitting on this news for weeks, literally counting down the days until we could tell you. Because of an NDA, we had to stay quiet until June 25th — but now we can finally shout it from the rooftops!
The Hidden Trough Aesthetics in Aiken has been officially selected by the Editors at The Guide to South Carolina’s Best of 2026 as:
- Regional Best Med Spa
- Best Skincare Specialist in the entire state of South Carolina
- Regional Best Esthetician
This is one of the most prestigious awards for small businesses in the entire state of South Carolina. The voting process runs for a full year, with nominations still being accepted right up until the final months, making the competition incredibly tough. Being chosen by the Editors as the top Med Spa and skincare provider statewide is an honor we don’t take lightly.
Why We Won
At The Hidden Trough Aesthetics, we do things differently. While many med spas continue using the same outdated treatment methods, we took a modern, innovative approach. We leveraged AI to design advanced treatment protocols that incorporate more devices used in precise, specific sequences — more than tripling the number of steps found in traditional sessions
The result? Dramatically better, natural-looking outcomes for our clients… often at a lower price than you’d expect from lesser providers.
We also invented the Shilajit Facial — a revolutionary treatment that is quickly changing what’s possible in skincare. The Editors clearly recognized what we’re doing here in Aiken. They saw that we genuinely care about pushing the industry forward, updating old standards, and delivering real, visible results.
This award isn’t just a trophy on the wall. It’s validation that our commitment to innovation and excellence is working.
What This Means for You
Right now, money is tight for many families. That’s exactly why you should be extra careful where you spend it. When it comes to your skin and appearance, you deserve to invest with the proven best — not hope for average results from average places.
Choosing The Hidden Trough Aesthetics means you’re working with South Carolina’s officially recognized leaders in med spa and skincare treatments. You get cutting-edge protocols, revolutionary services like our Shilajit Facial, and outcomes that look beautifully natural.
