...My skin looked, in the best way I can describe it, WOW. It was the cleanest and smoothest it has ever looked after a treatment. It was something beyond a miracle. In the hours following the treatment, the redness faded. The next morning, my skin looked healthy, glowy, and there wasn't a pore in sight.
