7 Tips That Have Been Improving MY Skin
1.) Jet Plasma Skin Treatment
What Is It: Jet Plasma is one of the most interesting developments in facial rejuvenation during the last few decades. It has been developed as an alternative to the classic ablative resurfacing (typically done with a CO2 or Erbium laser). Jet Plasma is designed to improve skin tone and texture, giving it a brighter, more contoured and more youthful appearance. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles are reduced, hyperpigmentation and discoloration reversed, and more severe skin complaints are treated effectively!
Helps Target: Anti-aging, skin-tightening, acne scarring, discoloration, hyperpigmentation , and wrinkles
Perfect for: All skin types (except for sensitive skin)
Advantages of Jet Plasma vs. Surgery: No cutting of skin. No stitches required. Very low risk procedure. No risk of blindness, as there is with surgery. Minimal side effects and far less downtime. Quick & easy procedure. No thinning of the skin. Significant cost saving
How To Use: Must be administered by a registered licensed esthetician or medical professional
Improvements I’ve seen: I was super weary of trying this treatment because…commitment issues (lol). After some strong convincing from my amazing esthetician (check out her website below for those located in the 757 Virginia area), I went ahead and signed up for a treatment. I’m currently on my second treatment (the recommended amount varies. but is typically around 3 in total), and I can confidently say that I’ve noticed a difference in my skin! This technology is painless, and zaps away fine lines, wrinkles, and even can attack deep-layered acne scars! RUN don’t WALK to your esthetician and ask about Jet Plasma Skin Treatments TODAY!
