Skin care monthly treatment

As promised, we finally got the chance to record the process of my monthly treatment.

It's been about 5 months since I decided to commit to frequent monthly treatments at Med Spa. Being healthy over all and just couldn't pinpoint my skin problem.

My skin felt dehydrated, stuffed and unhealthy. I consulted with Anna and asked her to help me achieve a stage where I do not need to pack on makeup. I wanted that healthy, natural glow. She promised to get my skin in a happy place and she did.

The first treatment, 5 months ago,  I walked out of the spa with extractions as big as a quarter. Fast forward to the 5th treatment, Anna barely extracted anything and my skin feels and looks so much better!

I look forward to each treatment. I schedule each treatment on a monthly basis about 1 week before the dot. This way Anna can take care and prepare the skin for any hormonal changes.

Each treatment is customized to my needs therefore, Anna decides which treatment to go with for that session.

Now, there are several treatments. There are Relaxing/Holistic treatments and Medical Grade Treatments.

• Medical grade treatments aim to make a change and improve specific concerns and as a rule, products and machines used during medical facials are stronger and more results oriented.

• Relaxing/Holistic treatments are more geared toward relaxation. During these treatments milder, more holistic products are used. Machines are very minimal as well.

Here is the steps she took on my last treatment. IG video posted on  8/28/17.

1. Cleansing- cleansing skin using professional cleansers to remove makeup and daily debris.

2. Crystal microdermabrasion- deep exfoliation, sand blasts the skin, often used to remove the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cell.

3. Steam- often used to soften the skin and follicles to prepare ones skin for professional extractions .

4. Ultrasonic – helps to loosen and remove dead skin cells, dirt, debris by using ultrasound waves.

5. Extractions- process of clearing a clogged pore (follicle) by manual means aka fingers.

6. High Frequency – used often after extractions to kill microbes and aim in shrinking the pores after steam and extracting.

7. LED therapy-  red lights are normally used to speed up healing and stimulate collagen production,  blue light is used to kill acne bacteria and sooth inflammation in the skin.

8. Hydration step- Hyaluronic acid based, collagen sheet mask (I used High Frequency for you to help push water molecules deeper into the skin)

9. Moisturize and SPF
