“When I first started as a beauty editor, I was invited in for a facial, which I excitedly accepted. Little did I know this was not a regular facial — it included a laser to help ‘resurface’ my skin. I didn’t realize this until I was quite literally in the establishment and ready to get the treatment done. Figuring it couldn’t be that bad, I decided to move forward with the process and things went very wrong, very quickly. From the first test pass, I knew I’d be in pain. Still, I sat there for about 10 to 15 minutes while they used this machine to zap my entire face. I left feeling like my face was on fire and cursing whoever came up with this idea in the first place.
“I’ve since gone on to have better experiences with laser treatments, but for a casual facial, I’ll gladly steer clear of them. The treatment didn’t even end up working for me, which was the worst part of it all.”
