Vivian's Story of Skin Healing
Our skin tells a story about where we've been. Our skin also tells the world about our health, our vitality, and how we see ourselves.
Skin problems are never just "skin deep" - they sometimes require a lot of patience and persistence to be fixed.
But when you finally get to the root of the problem, and you wake up one morning to see glowing, healthy skin shining back at you in the mirror… There's no better feeling than this.
Today, I want to share a story about one of my favorite clients with you😍
When I met Vivian in 2017, she was suffering from severe cystic acne, and her confidence in her appearance was very low.
“I’ve struggled with really bad acne all my life. I used to get those big painful stubborn ones and it was so frustrating when new ones would appear, often on top of the old ones that hadn't even healed yet.”
Vivian had tried truly everything to heal her skin, and she was becoming desperate and depressed. She didn’t like to look at herself in the mirror, and strangers would offer advice for her skin that just made her feel worse.
“I've tried everything from dermatologist and prescriptions to OTC products. My face was very bumpy, red and flaky. My acne situation was probably on the slightly more severe side than the average person and I even considered Accutane as a last resort, but I was scared of the side effects.”
Vivian reached out to Beauty Journey after seeing reviews from people who'd had similar acne struggles and had great results with our treatments.
“I found Beauty Journey 5 years ago after reading all the positive reviews and success stories, especially the ones with severe acne like myself.”
I started Vivian off with Beauty Journey’s Signature Treatment, which narrows in on skin healing by targeting dysfunctions under the surface layer of the skin. Our Signature Treatment includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, extractions (as needed), a nourishing mask, and a Facial Infusion. During a Facial Infusion, the skin cells of your face receive a huge dose of our incredibly effective professional products. In combination with other modalities like Lightwave LED Therapy, we encourage your facial skin to stimulate new cell growth, maintain a healthy water balance and repair vital skin structures.
"Kristina had put together a treatment plan that catered specifically to my skin goals. I was coming in every month for acne extraction followed by LED light therapy and a lot of different products being massaged into the skin. My skin was in such bad shape. I could tell how hard she worked to extract all the clogged pores at each visit. The purging process took 6 months.”
As Vivian’s skin began to heal, I saw how dedicated she was to the process. Through medications, extractions, and consistent treatments at home and with The 7- in -1 LED Mask, Vivian started to notice a really positive change in the health of her skin.
“Now that I'm acne free and my hyperpigmentation has all cleared up, I see Kristina only a few times a year for maintenance while still consistently using her recommended products at home. I love that she knew what to introduce and switch out in my homecare routine to cater specifically to what my skin needed.”
“If I can now enjoy clear skin thanks to Beauty Journey Studio, I think many others can too. Trust Kristina; she knows what she's doing. And have a lot of patience because good things take time.”
