Medical Aesthetician in Fairfax, VA: Where Do I Start When My Skin Looks Rough?

Your skin has looked rougher and blotchier this past year, and nothing from the drugstore has changed that. You haven’t booked an aesthetic treatment before, so you’d like a first visit with a medical aesthetician in Fairfax, VA to cover one treatment and a short plan. You’d also like to be back at work the next morning. Here’s how that visit goes with Emilia Montalvo, LME, at Dontage.

Something you can walk out of. At the beginning of your complimentary consultation, you and Emilia will look at your skin under magnification. Then the two of you will go over your shaving routine, your sunscreen habit, and how much sleep you’re getting. In your late 30s, rough and uneven texture is usually dead skin that no longer turns over as fast as it did at 25, plus some sun.

Then she’ll typically suggest a Diamond Glow as your first treatment, either that same visit or on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday evening, since the office sees patients until 7:30 p.m. Over 30 to 45 minutes, a diamond-tipped wand exfoliates, clears your pores, and infuses a serum chosen for your skin. You’ll walk out with no downtime, and your face will feel smoother by dinner.

The Diamond Glow shows the same day and holds for a few weeks. At your second visit, if the roughness runs deeper, Emilia will likely apply a Perfect Derma Peel, which you’ll feel as a warm flush for a few minutes. Your skin peels lightly over several days at home, and by about a week it looks noticeably brighter. It suits every skin tone, and you’ll go about your routine as you normally would while it peels.

Yes, you’ll need a routine too, and it is a short one. Before you leave your first visit, you and Emilia will pick three products from our SkinBetter Science or iS Clinical shelf, such as a cleanser, a moisturizer with SPF for the morning, and a retinol for the night. Be sure to bring whatever you’re using now, so she can tell you what to keep, and ask her about SkinPen microneedling if you want more after a few months.
