You might have seen that I went to Skin Laundry at Fashion Island recently for a 10-minute laser facial. Yes, you have heard correctly - it's a laser facial that's only 10 minutes! I think it's perfect if you're always on the go.
WHAT IS IT EXACTLY?
Skin Laundry uses a special laser and light technique that vaporizes the bacteria and makeup hidden deep inside your pores and is designed to tighten and tone your skin.
Here's a look inside their facility. When I checked in, I really didn't know what to expect as this is my first time getting a laser facial.
If it's your first time, you'll want to come a little early to fill out a short questionnaire about your health. Below, a staff member help me fill out the questionnaire on their iPad.
A physician shortly arrived, put some goggles on me, and went to work on my skin. She was very helpful by the way. She talked me through it beforehand, and I have to tell you that if you've never had anything like this done before, you might feel a tingling sensation. If you've had peels lately or scarring, she'll want to know.
We took short breaks, but I think the faster we go, the better? She also informed me that the burning smell is from the laser vaporizing my makeup and bacteria and that it's safe.
She then put on a soothing gel all over, and, before I knew it, it was over. I was told in order to see real results, I'll want to come back. I'm going to try to make it back out this week and will let you know if I feel any different.

Then she handed me some make-up remover cloths.

Can I just say that those leather chairs are some of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in?

Here's more info I thought you'd like to know:
- It's FDA-Approved.
- It can remove sun damaged and aging spots.
- It can dramatically reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
- It can tighten and firm sagging skin for a youthful appearance.
- It can whiten and brighten your complexion.
- It can even out skin tones and improve scaring and blemishes.
IS IT SAFE?
"As with any type of laser/Intense pulse light (IPL) therapy, the procedure is safe when delivered responsibly. The healthcare providers who operate the machines at the Skin Laundry have years of experience with laser and light treatments, and are highly trained in the Skin Rejuvenation procedure."
