Hi It’s ME! At Skin Laundry Right Before My 10 Minute Session

NATIONAL…. Waist Training is the new Weight Watchers, juice shops the new Slim Fast and lash extensions the new mascara. So where does this leave high powered lasers? Well hey now… they’re the new affordable facials. Cue the screeching car breaks sound effect… did she say affordable? Yes folks… I said affordable.  Now that I have your attention and your wrinkles wondering what the heck… here’s the skinny.

LOTS OF US HAVE WRITTEN OFF GETTING A FACIAL FOR VARIOUS REASONS. WHICH OF THESE APPLIES TO YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE:

  1. You feel like it takes too long for an hour long facial, factor in the drive time… Two hours from your life is “Gone Girl!”
  2. You love food, electricity and your cell phone… you don’t have the budget for one more thing.
  3. You have now time for “downtime” post the treatment. No time for peeling, redness and anything else that could make people muse to you out loud “are you okay? you look like a snake!”
  4. It seems like a luxury and you’re a practical person.

OKAY SO I COUNTER THIS WITH THIS:

  1. SKIN LAUNDRY has come up with a laser & light treatment that takes 10 minutes (minus drive time), has NO downtime/just results (as their slogan states)
  2. SKIN LAUNDRY knows you love your creature comforts… they’re a cell phone, go-to-the-movies kind of crew. So a single treatment is $50. Then they have different packages (A.K.A. “Laundry Bundles”) that range from 5 sessions per month to 15 Sessions per month at $375 (for this one the goal is have you come in every other day for a month). Hey in Los Angeles some skincare studios charge this for ONE session. (they also have series of monthly 1’s and 4’s called the “Laundry Club” worth looking into). BUT THE COOLEST THING IS RIGHT NOW THE FIRST SESSION IS ON THEM. YES, IT’S FREE!
  3. SKIN LAUNDRY has their game face way “ON.” They have perfected this 10 minute treatment to the point that there’s NO downtime and you leave looking more glowing than when you walked in. So they will spare you the needless “audience participation” from your friends and colleagues.
  4. SKIN LAUNDRY makes your experience comfy BUT this is not luxury kids… this is cut to the anti-aging chase! It’s serious business at Skin Laundry and from the moment you check in, to the moment that last laser beam impacts your face… it’s not so much luxurious… rather you sense you’re making a major improvement to your appearance and well being as this session is happening. There’s an obvious physical benefit AND a psychological one too which is well worth mentioning and bringing to your attention here.

So lets look at more closely at exactly what the treatment is like and what you’ll feel and experience when you deliver your face over to the able hands of the well trained staff.  I’ve had 10 treatments thus far. I spaced them approximately 7 days apart due in part to my schedule and lifestyle. However, Skin Laundry explained to me to get the most dramatic results someone could come in as often as every other day and safely receive this skincare treatment not to mention the best part: expediting the anti-aging benefits. That’s where the “Extra Care” Package I quickly noted in #2 above will come in handy, financially speaking.

WHICH POWER TOOLS ARE WE TALKING HERE?

Skin Laundry’s Signature Laser & Light Treatment utilizes advanced YAG Laser & Light technology to completely cleanse your skin by removing all the dirt and bacteria. This helps even out skin tone, decrease pore size, improve scars and blemishes making the skin healthier, stronger and more radiant. The treatment only takes 10 minutes and the best part is (drum roll please)… NO downtime.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE LYING ON THE TABLE AND IT’S SHOW TIME?

STEP 1: Once the procedure begins, one of their highly trained healthcare professionals will perform the laser treatment by using a hand piece, which delivers a pulse of laser over the facial area. The laser is a tingling sensation that is noticeable but not painful. The laser hits the dermis and deep cleans the skin by vaporizing all the impurities from the pores. The laser also targets pigmentation, stimulates collagen production which minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines, and destroys bacteria.

STEP 2: Post the laser procedure, a layer of cooling gel is placed on the face to start the next part of the procedure – IPL (Intense Pulse Light). The IPL delivers high intensity pulses of broadband light which helps to reduce redness and even out skin tone. The skin is then cleansed again to remove the gel and Skin Laundry’s toner and Essentially Daily Moisturizer with SPF 35 is applied is to finish the treatment.

WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM BENEFITS:

  • Helps reduce sun damage & early signs of aging
  • Noticeably reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduces overall redness
  • Clears acne and helps prevent future breakouts
  • Reduces the visible appearance of pores
  • Evens skin tone, texture
  • Reduces the visible amount of scarring on the skin from acne lesions and cysts
  • Reduces hyper-pigmentation, unevenness, sun spots, age spots, and melasma
  • Diminishes visible broken capillaries
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production

DID I SEE RESULTS OVER MY 10 SESSION:

I’m happy to report back to you and let you know I DID see an discernible improvement in my complexion. After just the first session I could tell my skin was liking the Skin Laundry Facial. My skin felt… I’m trying to find the right word to describe it… Alive! The color in my face look bright and flushed. The whole thing borders on addicting… I can tell you this. Once I hit the half way mark of my 10 sessions… It seemed to me that my face looked more lifted and plump compared to when I walked in the first time.  Something I can tell you as an esthetician AND consumer is the secret to the success with Skin Laundry is consistency. Going once and stopping will not compare to someone else who goes in regularly over the course of a year and sticks with it. Our skin cells have cellular memory. So as much as I noticed an improvement in my face in treatment 1, at the root of Skin Laundry… I the net was far more noticeable and greater by the time I completed my 10th session. Another thing I want touch upon is their professionalism. Skin Laundry did a great job of “vetting” me. The technician did a thorough job of interviewing me before the first session just to be certain me and my face were the right fit for the lasers. She wanted to be sure I get the optimal results which I really appreciated.

DO THEY HAVE SKINCARE TO COMPLIMENT YOUR SESSIONS: Yes, I’ve tried the cleanser, moisturizer and sheet mask in the comfort of my casa. I loved the quality and results from their home care regimen. It’s worth investigating. They also retail these special sleep cycle pillow cases I’m coveting and wanting to give a whirl.

MY BOTTOM LINE: 

Skin Laundry is NOT reinventing the wheel… they’re streamlining it, reorganizing it and making it accessible to people who would have never in their life thought they had the time nor the budget to invest in their complexion and put the aging process on the defensive rather than the offensive. From my vantage if the company manages to stay the course and grow and evolve strategically, they will gradually become one of the biggest advances and game changers the beauty industry and our wrinkles have ever experienced! Kudos to founder Yen Reis for having the vision and tenacity to make her dream and vision come to life. Get it girl!
