I've had a couple European facials over the years at Forever Young Spa and have wanted to try microdermabrasion. I made an appointment with Ms. Young and upon walking in the doors, noticed they had redecorated everything. It's gorgeous and very upscale looking.
Ms. Young was waiting for me, took me to the room and gave me an elasticized robe. I put that on and laid down on a cushiony, padded, heated table with a sheet and quilt. She came in and explained everything to me.
She gave me a glycolic peel and did extractions. She showed me what the microdermabrasion would feel like on my hand, then proceeded to do my face (I don't remember all the different stuff she put on me, but it was very thorough). She also gave me a green tea mask that was wonderful! While the mask was on, she took hot towels and massaged each arm and leg, one at a time. After the hot towel, she would use scented massage oil and gave me the most wonderful, relaxing massage on my back, upper chest, each arm from shoulder to tips of fingers, and each leg from the knee to my feet. Then cocooned me in blankets and left me to relax in the dark room.
For the same price as a massage elsewhere, I got pampered and massaged PLUS had microdermabrasion! Amazing deal!
The day I had it done, my face looked a little sunburned. The next day, I wore makeup and the redness was minimal. The day after, I noticed slight peeling around my nose and chin. I gently exfoliated those areas and my face feels smooth and my pores are smaller. I'm going to do the series of 5 or 6 and see how it is then.
I'll post an updated review after I do the series.
Ms. Young is amazing. I highly recommend her. read more
