When you are skinning your customers, you should leave some skin on to heal, so that you can skin them again.~ Nikita Khrushchev
Is that one of the strangest quotes you've ever heard, or what? I don't know who Nikita is, but it makes me wonder what he did for a living!
In an earlier blog I mentioned that I, on occasion, have a procedure called dermaplaning performed. That's me in the picture above, last night at NVogue MediSpa. NVogue is in West Chester at the Streets of West Chester, close to PF Chang's and Bravo. For those of you who are looking for an upscale spa that offers personalized attention without being intimidating, NVogue is the place for you. The women who work there are personable, friendly and wonderful at what they do, be it facials, massages or nails. Please check out the website and give it a try.
The hands holding the scalpel in the picture belong to Rhonda Sternberg, the owner of NVogue. And yes, I did say scalpel...the kind they use for surgeries. If you happen to go to NVogue, make sure you ask to see Rhonda's "before and after" pictures, she is the best commercial for her services one could possibly ask for. I say she is really brave for sharing the before pic, the after pic though is so awesome it makes you want one of everything! Rhonda is beautiful, relaxing and fun to be around, and genuinely loves what she is doing.
But back to the dermaplaning, which is really just a nice way of saying shaving all the dead skin and fine hair off your entire face. I have a picture of the skin she scraped off my face, but it was just way too gross to publish. It doesn't hurt at all, once you get used to the fact that someone is taking a scalpel to your face. And yes, there is a huge trust factor involved here. After the face is dermaplaned, you get a glycolic peel, followed by an application of carbon dioxide. The CO2 immediately cools the skin, so there is none of the redness or peeling you usually associate with facial peels.
The difference in my skin texture is amazing and the result immediate. The sun spots are lighter and makeup glides on smooth and evenly. (my friends, Bobbi Brown and Mary Kay would be proud) One thing I've learned is to never say never, but I am 99.99% certain that I won't ever go under the knife to have a face lift. And as long as I have Rhonda and her magic scalpel I won't even have to think about it.
