Beauty, Pro-Ageing, Treatments
I’ve often wondered if there was a treatment between a facial and an aesthetic procedure that could rejuvenate tired skin and give it back it’s glow. I’m not in the least against aesthetic procedures and I know they work amazing well, and are completely safe, in the right hands, but I haven’t felt ready to go along that route yet.
You may remember some time ago I had a facial with the renown facialist Vaishaly. I believe you have reached a certain status in your profession when you are known purely by your Christian name. And it’s not surprising the beauty industry regards Vaishaly with such high esteem, her integrated approach to skin rejuvenation is unique. Her hands alone can remould your face, but recently she has added a different dimension to her treatments, Mesotherapy.
Mesotherapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical technique pioneered in France, where a solution of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and plant extracts are administered by micro injections just under the surface of the skin.
As one would expect, Vaishaly has made her latest treatment a unique experience. Combining facial massage, cranial sacral work and the Nappage technique, a tapping motion on the surface of the skin that allows a bespoke blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and minerals to penetrate. These microscopic punctures force fresh skin cells to the surface replacing aged and damaged cells, leaving the skin firmer, better toned, more radiant, with less pigmentation and lines, as well as less obvious dark circles.
Before we started the treatment Vaishaly showed me the size of the needle she would be using during the treatment, it was the finest needle I’ve ever seen. On the back of my hand, she demonstrated how it would feel on my skin, I could barely feel anything.
When I arrived at The Vaishaly Clinic I was wearing makeup. I normally wouldn’t but I arrived straight from a press event. Vaishaly cleansed my face and carried out her signature facial massage. The massage alone can relax the most stressed person, and our facial muscles immediately respond in her hands.
Following the massage, Vaishaly started to skilfully tap a pre-mixed cocktail of ingredients into my skin. She used hyaluronic acid to plump the skin, a brightening agent around my eyes and antioxidants to even the skin tone. It’s a bespoke recipe that’s prepared specifically for each client depending on their individual needs.
When Vaishaly worked around my eyes she used a numbing gel but even though it’s a sensitive area, I still could only feel something exceptionally light brushing against my skin. The treatment around the eyes is very popular with Vaishaly’s Asian clients who, like me, suffer from dark circles under the eyes.
As someone who bruises easily, I was surprised to see not a single mark on my face or under my eyes. My skin immediately looked lifted, plumper and glowing, absolutely clear and bright. I felt confident enough to go to my next meeting without makeup, something I have never done in the past. Much of the darkness had lifted under my eyes with the skin noticeably lighter.
But if that wasn’t enough, my skin continued to improve over the next days and weeks. It became better toned, clear and smooth, the lines on my forehead looked softer and although some of darkness crept back under my eyes, they looked refreshed and brighter than they did before the treatment. One of the most noticeable areas, was my neck. The necklace lines looked softer, the skin firmer and more lifted, it’s the best my neck has looked in a long time.
I am so impressed that a treatment that takes an hour, with no down time, can have such an immediate and long term effect.
The effects of mesotherapy can last up to 3 months. Vaishaly recommended that in an ideal world, you would have a treatment once a month for three months and then every three months to maintain the effect.
If like me, you have been looking for a treatment that is more powerful than a facial but one step before an aesthetic procedure, Mesotherapy is for you. I am so impressed with the results; I’m booking my next treatment now!
