Since I moved here last year , I've been looking for someone to take care of my skin and my unruly eyebrows. I have pretty sensitive skin, problems with clogged pores, uneven skin color and pretty unruly eyebrows. I've tried everywhere on Newbury St. and the results have ranged from me looking worse or not much better.
I was chatting with a friend that works in Coolidge Corner and she told me about her esthetician, Stavroula and the Ultrasonic facials she receives. I decided to be brave and call for an appointment. I wasn't sure if an Ultrasonic facial would be good for my skin, since I use some Prescription creams I get from my Dr. . I asked the receptionist to have Stavroula call me so I could ask her some questions. She got back to me the same day and was very helpful in explaining how the Ultrasonic technology works (similar technology to Ultrasonic teeth cleaning at the dentist) and how gentle it is. So far, so good!
The spa was really easy to find, walking distance from the T . I was early, but her staff made me feel right at home and the waiting area was very relaxing. My appointment started with a consultation, I really learned alot about my skin and what my options were for treatments. My facial was so relaxing and gentle, I was really not expecting to see such a difference. Well, I was in for a suprise. My face looked immediately brighter, my pores looked great and it felt like baby skin! Apparently this Ultrasonic technology vibrates the water which vibrates away debris. It felt like a dull electric razor over wet skin. I also loved all of the tips Stavroula gave me on my current routine and didn't make me feel pressured when she suggested a few new things to work in. How could I forget to mention my great new Eyebrows, I have the arches I never had! I'm going back next week to have her do my makeup for my holiday party. If she is even half as good with makeup as she is with skin care and eyebrows, I'll be ecstatic!!!
