When it comes to glowing and beautiful skin, some can call themselves lucky, while others need an extra effort. I am one of the latter.
A week before the Bank Holiday weekend, I have decided to book myself in for a peel in preparation for a short city break with my sister and best friend.
I have called up Aesthetics Lab and booked myself in for a consultation, followed by the peel.
At arrival I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist who gave me an online questionnaire to fill in. It took me 10 to 12 minutes to finish. I did arrive early for my appointment, so I had plenty of time to kill.
Joanna, very lovely and extremely helpful, discussed with me my skin history, problems and needs. Once we agreed on the treatment for my skin (we both agreed that my skin is dull & congested), I have been taken to the treatment room, where I met a very lovely aesthetician.
I lied down on the bed, got tucked in & was ready for my peel.
First my skin was preped by cleaning my skin & cleansed. A simple procedure, however it feels really nice when done by somebody else.
Its time for the peel! A specifically selected (for my skin type) liquid peel was smoothly brushed on my skin. I had to stay with the peel on my skin for couple of minutes. It felt a bit itchy and stingy as it was working its way into my skin. The peel was removed & my skin was prepared for the 2nd part of my treatment: LED lights. This was my favourite part as it felt like you were bathing under the sun.
After the treatment my skin felt a bit tight, however this went away after couple of hours.
I have to say that that my skin feels like a baby's skin and very happy with the end result. The whole treatment lasted around an hour & even my black heads from my nose were removed. I have not seen my skin so clean & smooth for a long time. Higly recommend Aesthetics Lab. read more
