Where do I begin? As cliché as that sentiment seems to be, their 50min Customized Facial turned out to be quite an invaluable experience.
At the onset, I went into this whole thing a bit nervous and doubtful about it. Not because of Cindy or Meghan - they're phenomenal people to work with - but because, well, as a man, the idea of not only getting a facial, but going to a professional for it, seemed quite foreign and out of place for me; I've since had a massive change of perspective on the whole thing...
The whole thing begins with a walk into a pleasantly lit environment to fill out paperwork that is required of all new clients. It's here - as well as the one-on-one consult afterwards - where the Laser Gal you're working with piece together and develop an understanding of what you're looking to get out of your time there. They use their intimate knowledge of the products they work with and employ only the highest of industry standards to map out what I believe is truly the best possible outcome for your unique skin. While this is taking place, they're also doing their due diligence to side step any products or procedures that may adversely effect your skin and any conditions you may have or trigger any possible allergic reactions. Attention to these important details, surely, does a great deal to make sure you walk out of there having had the best possible experience.
After they've gotten all of their T's crossed and I's dotted, it's then time for the fun to begin. You'll have already been ushered into one of the rooms to be worked for your one-on-one, and it's there that you'll be then asked to de-robe and lie comfortably on their table, beneath a light blanket and sheet (they step out for a moment to allow you some privacy with this). Once on the table, whichever Gal you've been working with will make sure all of the necessary adjustments are made from the special pillow beneath your knees, to the temperature of the room and bed (yes, even the bed!), lighting, and even some ambient sound & music. Great attention is paid to all of these with the intention of making sure the client reaches peak relaxation during their skin transformation.
Once the mood has been set, you receive a warm towel placed on what I believe is your upper clavicle area and the facial then begins. Now, I'm not all that familiar with the products used or their uses, nor would I want to risk giving a false account of them or risk revealing any trade secrets in the process, so I'll be brief with this account. What I can say is the products themselves were extremely pleasant and their application was done with great care and attention - I felt wonderful for the entirety of it. There were portions of the facial process in which attention was given to my shoulders and traps (trapezoid) by way of a gentle yet firm massage, that came as an unexpected, yet welcomed surprise. You also get some cold balls to the face (said in an intentional tongue-in-cheek manner ;) ), which just pile on the comfort and bliss.
All in all, the process lasted around an hour, though, I'll admit, I was too occupied with enjoying myself to give even the slightest attention to time. And, while, my face looked and felt brighter, softer, and more rejuvenated, it's that last little detail that took it from being just a good experience to a phenomenally great one... and why I've already made sure to book my next one. Do yourself a favor and pamper yourself a bit. Schedule a consult with Laser Gals. You might be able to put a price on beautiful skin, but that little window of breathing room, where everything else can just fall away for a bit, truly is priceless. read more
