I saw a promotion to be a model for their new plasma laser offerings. I didn't think that I would actually get picked, but (surprisingly) I did! I got both hot and cold plasma done to renew my skin texture and tighten and also to remove some dark spots.
I thought the cold plasma was slightly more painful during the process, but I'm not sure how strong my pain tolerance is. Overall, it was still very tolerable, however.
There was minimal peeling from the cold plasma, and the results were amazing. My pores were smaller, my skin was more even, and people were noticing left and right. The hot plasma had a more difficult healing process. There were little dot scabs everywhere. I got extremely self conscious and read a bunch of stuff on the Internet that made me nervous of scarring, etc. In the end, it all turned out great and my fears were unfounded.
Now the bad.
I have been considering getting my brows done for YEARS. I finally decided to come in and had them done by Jessica. She is the sweetest ever. However, it was a complete fail for me.
For the first session, I wasn't 100% happy with the draw, as one side was a bit wonky, but I was assuring myself that it was more about a more "natural" look and unevenness was okay. My main issue is that the tattoo did not hold.
As the lines started peeling off, there was almost no color underneath. It was like they disappeared. They were so slight in color and blotchy. It was like I had gotten nothing done. I expressed my concerns and was told that it would be fixed during the touch-up, but for me, I didn't need a touch up. I needed a redo.
On my follow-up appointment, Jessica said that she might have made them too light in color and that's why they faded immediately. She redrew them, and this time I LOVED the shape. She used a darker color and my brows were PERFECT. I was so happy. However, like a week later, the color was almost gone again. I mean, the color lasted like 10% better than the first time, but you literally can't tell I got it done.
I'm still filling them in as I always did before this procedure, and the point of getting this done is so that I wouldn't have to do this. In my case, it was an utter failure. I've seen social media posts where they are touching up client brows a year later, and they look better than mine a week/month out. The only reason I'm justifying the money I spent on the failed brows is because I got the plasma as a model.
I'm glad others have had great experiences with their brows, but this just wasn't the case for me.
