Vanity Makeup and Skin

Microcurrent + Cold Hammer is one of those treatments that looks deceptively simple.

There’s no dramatic peeling. No downtime. No trying to make your skin angry in the name of correction.

Instead, we’re using microcurrent to support a more lifted, toned and sculpted appearance, followed by the cooling, calming effect of the cold hammer.

It’s especially lovely when your skin is looking tired, puffy, dull or just… a little less awake than you are.

This combination falls within the Refinement Veil, Tier 2 of the Umbra Veiling System—where the goal is to maintain, refine and stimulate the skin without unnecessarily over-treating it.

Because corrective skincare doesn’t always have to be aggressive.

Sometimes the most luxurious thing you can do for your skin is give it exactly what it needs.

If you’re curious whether Microcurrent + Cold Hammer belongs in your treatment plan, we can figure that out together at your next Vanity appointment.

Sunday Recap: Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening was our treatment focus this week, in preparation for the winter months, which is the most popular time to get this service.

Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening can be done anywhere on the body. Today’s post highlights a recent Nose Tightening done on my lovely client over the last several months.

The left pics of each slide feature the before and after - with various shots taken throughout the healing process.

This client had a goal of tightening around the bridge of her nose to sharpen the middle of her face, as well as to possibly add a bit of a swoop and raise the tip. We went for it - booking 3 treatments over the course of several months - and we were both pleased with the results.

As a practitioner it was awesome for me to see the plan I outlined had worked - creating a subtle, more refined nose shape for such a beautiful client, with an adorable swoop and lifted tip. 🖤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for trusting me, Lily!

I’ve never had Botox. Zero fillers. I’m turning 56 in November. Omgggggg. Time flies.

I get asked frequently if I get injections and the answer is a hard no. It’s not that I am hysterically “anti” injection, but, to be honest, I’ve had a lot of medical issues in my life and I don’t really believe in voluntary procedures for myself.

•Do I have an insane beauty routine? Yes

•Do I spend a lot of money on products and non invasive procedures that keep my skin as youthful as possible? Yes.

•Do I want to look like myself as I age? HELL YES!

And though my skin is great and my personality is absolutely remarkable, one fun fact about me is that I have ZERO hair skills. Zero. I know clip up or down. 2 styles. Maybe 3 if I can do a good pony tail. But. That’s a lot of work 😆 just ask my stylist.

So if you feel as a naturally aging woman that the beauty industry doesn’t speak to you - think again - because there are Estheticians who won’t give you a tick list of things about you that need to be changed. We will celebrate you EXACTLY as you are and help YOU decide how you want to age.

Some clients get very quick results from Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening. Some clients take a bit longer. Are both lengths of time to visually get results considered “normal” for this treatment? YES!

Fibroblast is a controlled injury to the skin with a goal of initiating the wound cascade, which builds new collagen. It takes 3 1/2 to 5 weeks for those new blood pathways to reach the bottom layers of the epidermis, which means lifting and skin restructuring is a slow process. It happens under the skin’s surface so it’s important to be patient while your skin rebuilds itself in the days and weeks after treatment.

As a general rule, we tell our clients to expect the majority of the tightening to take place between days 60-90. Trust the process.

Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening is a precision treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and support firmer, smoother, more refined-looking skin.

The treatment uses controlled plasma energy to create very small points of thermal injury in the skin. This initiates a healing response and stimulates collagen remodeling, which can help improve the appearance of laxity, fine lines and crepey texture over time.

But the treatment itself is only part of the process.

How your skin is prepared beforehand and how you care for it afterward matters. Your skin needs to be healthy enough to respond appropriately and then allowed to heal without being picked, exfoliated or otherwise irritated.

That’s why I always want to see your skin and talk through your goals before scheduling Fibroblast.

If you’re wondering whether it’s appropriate for you, book a complimentary consultation at Vanity. We’ll look at your skin, discuss what you’re trying to correct and decide what makes sense from there.

No pressure. No guessing. Just a proper assessment.

Nothing makes me happier as an entrepreneur in the beauty industry than a fully stocked retail shelf, with products from a brand I created, and founded.
