A light peeling took place on day three (perhaps book this treatment so the flaky day coincides with a makeup-free weekend), and voila, it was like our normal face but much, much better.
#THE SPIRAL SKIN#
The after-effects: Twelve hours after the facial, the redness had subsided, and for two days following, our face felt tight and mask-like as the top-most layer of skin prepared to shed. Our face is left rather pink, so we’re treated to a 30-minute cooling mask, before being sent home with a gelatinous rosehip-oil-infused moisturiser and told to slather it on twice a day until any peeling had finished. And even if your pain tolerance is low, it’s over before you know it – no more than 20 minutes later, the facelift-like procedure is complete. There’s a moderate burning sensation, but it’s not too hard to cope with (and we say that, as someone who’s been known to faint during a blood test). The third pass is a little more uncomfortable, particularly when concentrated on blackheads and sensitive areas, like the sides of the nose and around the mouth.
The second pass feels warmer, and vaguely more needle-like, but more than bearable. Instead, there’ll be a focus on the resurfacing fourth stage of the treatment, to target those pesky pores.Īfter a swift double-cleanse, the efficient Treston covers our eyes and begins with a not-at-all painful first pass of the lasers. As our 30-year-old visage has more issues with open pores, oiliness and blemishes, rather than ageing, the inside-the-mouth portion – to treat sagging cheeks – isn’t needed. Following a thorough consultation, we were prescribed a customised version of the famed Fotona 4D Facelift, a non-surgical laser facial designed to tighten and volumise skin. So we headed to her clinic in Umm Suqeim with high expectations… and we weren’t disappointed. “She’s famous in Dubai for her facials,” a colleague said of laser specialist Treston. The experience: You know you’re on to a good ‘un when the mere mention of your aesthetician’s name elicits an admiring “oooh” from one long-standing Dubai resident. The therapist to ask for: Rebecca Treston.
