review // 1 // laser lipo with skinucations

this month's review is on skinucations, a corrective skincare medispa located in atlanta, ga. the spa is owned & ran by esthetician, veronika hill. at skinucations, they provide various services, such as facials, detoxes, fat & cellulite reduction amongst many others.
 
 towards the end of 2015, i had started doing some research on skincare, laser hair removal & fat reduction. however, due to my finances, i am not able to get all of them done at this time, so i decided to check out groupon. this is where i saw a really great deal for laser lipo. once i figured out how laser lipo worked, the side effects, cost & results, i decided to sign up for a consultation with skinucations based off customer reviews. what is originally an $800 treatment, i got it for $200.

late december, i went for my consultation, which was not only very informative, but fun. i was there for about a hour & a half. veronika is professional, knowledgeable & really down to earth. she was very understanding when it comes to what i want for my health, & even provided me with tips on staying healthy & improving my skincare routine.

she does all of the work on her own in a small suite inside of a huge salon. the suite is calming with dim lights & a light aroma of her brown bottle blend. because the area is very small, there's really not any room for more than two people (so keep that in mind if you choose to go). we discussed my diet, skincare routine & my goals for a healthier lifestyle.

i decided to get laser lipo treatment on my arms, because they have been a big problem area for me for as long as i can remember. you know how most people suck in their stomachs for pictures? well, i try to stand facing forward so you can't see how wide & big my arms are. no matter how many pictures i take, my arms are always the first body part i look at.

so for 4 weeks straight, i came in once a week for one hour. i layed down on the bed, she strapped my arms up & placed 2-3 lasers around each arm. the lasers heat up & tighten tissue to boost blood flow & break down cellulite & fat. the radio frequency energy heats the skin without damaging it, in order to break down fatty cells & stimulate collagen production, which improves skin tone & elasticity. 

during my stay, i was able to sleep or be on my phone to pass the time. once i was done, she rubbed her brown bottle blend on both arms & massaged my arms for a couple of minutes.

once she finished massaging my arms, she measured them both on week two to see if i had lost any inches. as you can see below, week one went really well. for the first 72 hours after treatment, i couldn't have any sweets or alcohol. & i had to increase my water intake & exercise (especially in the arm area). i also took an epsom salt bath once week to detox.


-- week one -

left arm: 17.5 inches // right are: 15.5 inches

-- week two --

left arm: 15.5 inches // right arm: 14.5 inches

if you are interested & live in the atlanta area, please call for a consultation first. please tell veronika that you were referred by me. she loves hearing that her customers, not only love her work, but are referring others as well.
