Stronger Skin By Emma

Another day, another acne transformation 💅🤠

Not only have we cleared her breakouts, but check out the difference in her REDNESS! The first picture was taken several weeks ago prior to starting our facial, the second one was taken *at the end* of a facial appointment, where the skin will always look a bit flushed! Crazy to see this kind of improvement in general but especially given that caveat 🫪

Dark Spot Transformation In Progress 🧱⚒️✨

Check out these results from the Green Sea Peel - What a crazy difference in just a few months! 🤯 When this client first came to visit me, her primary concern was breakouts. Once we got her clear, it was time to focus on the dark spots that were left behind leading up to her wedding. Safe to say we made an amazing difference while keeping her skin calm and healthy! This is why I always emphasize the importance of CONSISTENCY. She stayed committed to the process and it shows! So happy for her, and we’re not done yet!

This is truly one of my favorite acne transformations! 🤩 Seeing changes like this in people’s skin is one of my favorite parts of this job. We’ve achieved these results using a combination of facials, chemical peels, and microneedling - but most importantly, proper product selection!!!

While I absolutely LOVE working hands on in studio with my clients, it’s not the only way to clear breakouts - your routine at home comprises about 80% of your results. That’s why I’m so excited to be offering virtual appointments now! I currently have 3 content model openings available at the link in my bio. But, if you’re anywhere near Lake Tapps, I’d love to see you in person :) book your New Client Custom Facial to get started!

This is your reminder to never sleep on microneedling!

WILD results from only two sessions. We just completed her 3rd treatment and I can’t wait to see where her skin ends up after this one, but there’s no way I was going to wait another month to start posting these results 😅 We have made fantastic progress on her redness, dark spots, textured scarring, and breakouts! While she does occasionally get a hormonal breakout here and there (which is totally normal), she notices that they heal much faster and do not turn into dark spots the way they used to…which is exactly what we’d expect to see!

This is truly one of my favorite services. If you’re new to my practice and want to try microneedling, let me know! We’ll start with a facial, but it’s helpful for me to know that microneedling is a goal for you. If it’s appropriate, we can get you booked for your first session at the end of your initial appointment!

If you’re already my client and want to know if this is right for you, just ask!

Moment of silence for the irritation on her neck that simply disappeared after her facial. RIP in peace 🕊️😓

Anyways, that’s why customization is king! Your facial will always be 100% tailored to your unique needs - that’s how we get can see this big of a difference in only 75 minutes.

After a long break from Instagram I am back with this INSANE chemical peel transformation 🤯 we haven’t even finished her peel series yet!!!

Breakouts? Gone. Dark spots? Gone. Texture? Gone. Freaking everything gone. These results came after doing 2 chemical peels…and we still have one left! To say I am thrilled with this before and after is an understatement. But a change this drastic doesn’t just come from peels - you *have* to be consistent with your home care regimen. Keep in mind, consistent does not have to mean perfect!

This also goes to show why I only offer services like chemical peels and microneedling in a series of treatments. The effects are cumulative - think of it like a snowball rolling down a hill that gradually gets larger over time!

If you’re a new client interested in diving into corrective skincare, I’d love to help you! Start by booking a Showstoper Facial or my New Client All-Inclusive Custom Facial so that I can get to know your skin and craft a personalized treatment plan for you. Then we’ll get started!

Had to snap a photo before I showed her what came off her face during the dermaplane 🙂‍↕️

Dermaplaning is not for everyone, but I do think it’s the most satisfying service 😂 This treatment can be included in any of the new client facials or the Level 2-4 facials. It removes peach fuzz and dead skin, greatly improving texture and enhancing makeup application! All of this could be hiding on your face without you even knowing it! Definitely one of my favorites before an event or photo shoot.

Also I definitely forgot to post the last 2 days…so double posts incoming shortly to make up for it 😂

I’d say this is pretty dang good for 2 chemical peels 😁💅

We wrapped up her series of 3 a few weeks ago, but these photos are from her first peel appointment - when she came in for the third peel (so, two peels in between these photos). I’m simply too excited to not share this progress tho 🫣

Huuuuge difference the dark spots on her forehead and upper cheeks here and as you can see, her skin tone is SO much more even!!! The peel healing process is not completely linear, so it’s common for some new pigmentation to be brought up as the series progresses. The reality is that the pigmentation isn’t actually new though, provided that the skin has been properly prepped. It was underneath the surface and is now getting brought up to eventually be sloughed off! In my experience this is quite common to see after the second peel.

I always recommend that peels and microneedling be done in a series of 3-6, as the results are cumulative! It takes time for results to fully manifest, and one session is rarely enough to reach your desired endpoint. That’s why I *only* offer standalone appointments to clients who have already completed a series, and even that is on a case by case basis.

Want to try a chemical peel series? DM me and let’s chat! A series of 3 is currently $600, which might actually save you some money if you’ve been coming in for regular facials…payment plans via Affirm are always available!

How she walked in versus how she left 🙂‍↕️

No, one facial is not going to completely fix your skin concerns. But, you can absolutely see a noticeable difference before versus after your service! This was a Level 4 facial where we incorporated Krx Aesthetics®️ Carboxy Mask, nano infusion, and dermaplaning! I am super happy with this client’s progress over the past 6 months with her breakouts, and it goes to show that you do not always have to come in every 4-8 weeks to see progress in your skin. We will find a way to make your treatment plan work for your schedule!

Next we’ll be doing a series of Green Sea Peels and I am sooooo excited to see the impact it makes on her leftover scarring! 🌟

Would you believe me if I told you she’s wearing a MINERAL sunscreen these photos?! No, this is not an April Fools’ joke!!

You guys might know that I am historically a mineral sunscreen hater, however…I took a chance on the SPF and to say that I am stunned with how good it looks on deeper skin is a major understatement. This is undoubtedly the best mineral SPF I have ever used and one of my favorite sunscreens of all time in general!

Why am I so excited about this? Mineral sunscreens are generally not a great option for deeply melanated skin because they leave a noticeable white cast, which is why it’s taken me this long to bring one into my backbar/retail stack. Unfortunately, a lot of POC skip out on sunscreen because they have only ever tried mineral SPFs that are not properly formulated for their skin tone. Plus, mineral SPFs are usually more problematic from a sensory standpoint regardless of race or ethnicity - they can feel very chalky, oily etc. But at the same time, they are often easier to tolerate for clients with sensitive skin and/or sensitive eyes than chemical SPFs.

When my client came in wanting to work on her melasma, I knew that I wanted to send her home with the Mixi SPF! I prefer mineral SPFs over chemical SPFs for melasma, at least on paper…ultimately the best sunscreen is the one you will actually wear! She was shocked when I showed her the after photos because the sunscreen is pretty much undetectable on her skin. I was thrilled when decided she wanted to take it home!

This was her first facial and we set her up with a full skincare routine, plus a personalized treatment package that will have her ready to go for the next 4-8 months! If you’re ready to invest in your skincare and are committed to achieving your goals, let’s chat about whether a customized package would be right for you!

PS - this sunscreen is available for purchase and currently in stock 😘
