| - In the lottery of life, I managed to get myself a free microdermabrasion treatment at Bellair Laser Clinic. I would have loved to win the 649, but beggars can't be choosers.
I called and was able to easily book a treatment for the day and time I wanted. A couple of weeks later I needed to change the time, and they happily accommodated me.
Upon arrival at the clinic, you step inside a super clean, stark white interior with exceptionally high ceilings and a staircase with glass railings, fitting of a Yorkville laser clinic. The lovely receptionists greeted me, and offered me a beverage before I started my treatment. I sat on the big white couch and waited for my technician.
I was surprised and impressed that the person doing my treatment, Jean, was a nurse. I don't think I've ever had a nurse do a microderm for me in the past. I explained that I was a but nervous about leaving with what I call Zebra-face, which has happened to me at another clinic in the past when the lady put the suction on too strong. After cleansing my skin, Jean did a couple of swipes with her little wand, and stopped to ask how in felt before proceeding. She was very knowledgeable about all of the treatments at the clinic and was able to answer all of my questions while she did the treatment.
To finish the treatment, Jean applied a hydrating masque to my skin, which initially stung, but calmed down as the fan blew on my skin. She left the room to give me time to relax. My only complaint about the whole experience was that I could not get comfy on the bed, and because I was restless, it felt like I laid there forever. A little leg roll or an extra pillow probably would have done wonders. Also, the music in the room was pretty upbeat, which would have been awesome if I wanted to get up and dance!
Once my treatment was completely finished, Jean put products and sunscreen on my skin before allowing me back out. Once out of the room, I was offered additional refreshments, which was really nice. Overall I would say that I had a great experience, and I definitely loved my treatment with Jean. Also, no scary zebra-face, thank God!
