My Facial Experience

If you’ve been following my blog since I started a year ago, you will know that my first post was about clearing my skin. Since I was about 15, my skin was always problematic for me + made me feel less than confident about myself. It was a big insecurity of mine so it definitely takes precedence in my life today. If I don’t take care of it, I suffer the consequences.

I’ve seen estheticians in the past + I’ve had facials done before but I always felt like they never did much for me. So when my mom offered to take me on a spa date, I wasn’t expecting much. However, when I met Connie at Samaeo Skin Spa, I was highly impressed. She took time before the appointment to listen to my concerns, made me feel comfortable + offered advice on how to assess my skin concerns moving forward. Now, I’ve gone to visit Connie a couple times + have seen improvements in my skin each time.

Samaeo Skin Spa is a mother + daughter owned company located in Denver, Colorado. They have offered expert, personalized skin care for more than 16 years for both male + female clients. Their team of licensed estheticians + certified laser specialists provide individualized treatment recommendations for each client. Since visiting Connie, I feel like my breakouts have subsided + my skin feels smoother + healthier than before.

Connie believed I would benefit the most from the Samaeo Signature Face Treatment which includes a peel, microdermabrasion, facial mask, high frequency + infrared light therapy.

Below is a short description of all the treatments I did + how they work.

Pumpkin Enzyme Peel

A peel is a procedure that reveals fresh, new skin so your complexion looks more smooth + even. You’ll experience improved skin tone, texture, + youthfulness. Peels address a number of skin issues, including: acne + acne scars, rough skin + sun-damaged skin.

Microdermabrasion

When the microdermabrasion device is applied to your skin, it gently sucks out the outer layer of dead skin to reveal fresh, revived cells. It’s a technique that leaves your complexion looking smoother, softer + brighter. Microdermabrasion is good if you have dull skin, crow’s feet, or fine lines + wrinkles.

Extraction

The process of removing clogged or obstructed pores. Basically removing all the gunk from your face i.e blackheads + whiteheads.

Mud Mask

After the extraction is done, a mud mask helps deeper clean the pores.

High Frequency

A high frequency facial treatment uses a device that releases a mild electrical current. It sends oxygen into the skin to eliminate bacteria. It helps increase your blood circulation + cell renewal which encourages collagen + elastin production.

Infrared Light Therapy

You’ve probably seen devices like this before. They send red low-level wavelengths of light into the skin. It is a safe procedure that accelerates healing (scars, wounds) + stimulates collagen production (reduce fine lines, acne).
