“They honestly know more about me than my physician does,” she said. “I always learn something new that I could do to make myself feel better.”
She also began to receive glycolic acid resurfacing peels and dermaplaning (a quick and safe exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and baby-fine facial hairs).
“I had three huge sunspots on my face, and from the peels and the skincare they completely went away,” she said. “My skin is so smooth, and the dermaplaning makes a big difference.”
As her skin began to age backward, Julie had questions about subtle fillers to enhance her transformation even more. Her aesthetician recommended Sculptra®, an injection that gradually replaces lost collagen over time.
“I like Sculptra because it was something more natural,” she said. “I’ve had three series of injections and I’m very pleased. My wrinkles are diminished and my eyelids are a bit more raised.”
Smiling, Julie remembered her sister’s astonishment upon seeing her rejuvenated face.
“She said, ‘wow, you look amazing! Your face is so smooth, and your eyebrows look lifted,’” she recalled. “It was just the Sculptra.”
Afterwards, Julie’s sister admitted that she had received BOTOX® treatments, much to Julie’s surprise. As Julie spread the word about how happy she was with her Medispa treatments, her friends also started to come forward.
“No one ever talked about any kind of injections. None of my friends talked about it until I told them what I was doing and then they fessed up,” she said. “It was like a secret society of people that have things done and didn’t want to share, which I think was so sad.”
When her friends marvel at her youthful complexion, she is quick to recommend the Medispa, and says that the Renaissance Center’s individualized care sets it above other spas.
“If you come here, they’ll tell and show you what they’re going to do and take pictures, and it’s just the most reassuring experience,” she said. “I feel secure knowing I have chosen the right medical providers. They really are like an extended family.”
“I even get information on where to go for a hair stylist!” she added with a laugh.
