Are you feeling like you've tried everything for your acne and yet your skin isn't getting any better? If you're feeling helpless and in really desperate need for serious skin rescue, go see Mirsada. Before I experienced my adult acne breakout, I used higher-end skin products when it came to my skin--SKII, Amore Pacific, Kiehls. I would also occasionally see a facialist about twice a year. Now I know that there are two types of facialists--Mirsada (the real deal), and the others that spend 60 minutes to make you feel pampered because they put on a couple different masks over your face. After seeing Mirsada, not only has my skin stopped producing acne, it has also shed itself of old acne scars and discolorations, and has gained its original smoothness, and found something new, a healthy glow.
About a year ago, during a stressful period in my life (along with a lot of traveling), I started getting full-fledged clusters of unsightly acne in areas that I normally don't find acne--on my cheeks, around the mouth, along the jawline, and forehead. I was freaking out!! I always had really good skin, and whenever I did get acne, it would just be one or two around the t-zone area, which would go away in a couple days. I couldn't believe I was getting this type of acne breakout...I never thought I would be one of those people who have "bad skin". No joke, my face was looking like a Proactive "before" photo. Even my nice friends couldn't deny that my skin looked like crap, and none of them tried to even sugar-coat what they saw and tell me that it didn't look that bad. Instead, they were just as puzzled and worried with me. Before I finally found Mirsada through Yelp, I tried treating my own acne. I figured I needed to use different products for my skin, and thus started a very frustrating cycle of spending (wasting) time and money researching anti-acne skin products and purchasing enough products to open up my own Sephora store in my bathroom. I bought the whole Ole Henrickson product line after a friend raved about their stuff. Did nothing for me...acne persisted. Then I tried organic products (Pangea). Again, acne still plagued me. I then started buying products that are sold at facial spas for acne treatment--Skinceuticals, Jan Marini Bioclear, and Obagi Clenziderm products. To my horror, my skin got worse--it became so dry that I was seeing fine line wrinkles and enlarged pores, and popping the pimples would result in big, hard, and painful bumps that just protruded from my face, along with stubborn dark scars that would not go away. I finally reached a point where I felt the need to go see a dermatologist/acne specialist. Lesson learned: it's a wiser investment to see Mirsada than to spend (the same amount or more in my case) money on skin products that you'll end up donating to your friends. For too long, I held the false idea that because skin products can possibly last a year, it was a better investment than seeing a professional just once.
From the moment I met Mirsada, I felt so welcomed and comfortable in her nurturing and knowledgeable presence. She got started right away with cleansing my face, peeling, and then EXTRACTIONS. Wow, she was so thorough with the extractions, she spent over an hour just extracting. At one point, I got to see what was extracted, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Under all the acne puss, there were white "seeds" as big as rice kernels. I learned that bacteria likes to grow around the "seed", and that's why you can have a gushy pimple growing from the same spot repeatedly. It was really fascinating and gross at the same time, but I was just so happy to have my pores purged of all this evil acne. Afterwards, Mirsada followed with microdermabrasion and a soothing mask with steaming warm towels over my face, and then she also spent another hour squeezing all my blackheads (especially around my nose and chin). Altogether, I was in her office for more than 3 hours, and to my surprise, my face already looked radiant and better, not what you would expect to see after all those extractions. I left her office not just with better, healing skin, but with a gratefulness and hopefulness I hadn't felt in a long time. The next day, I didn't have a single pimple, and my skin shed daily to reveal new, smooth skin. Mirsada's expertise, dedication, and passion is what makes her truly one-of-a-kind. She really is a bargain the more I think about it. More importantly, she is very generous with her services and has the biggest heart, sincerely caring for you. I could just tell that she was committed to clearing my skin, because that's what brings her satisfaction and happiness as well.
My advice is to make an appointment with her right away, and use her facial scrub! I love her green scrub--she makes it herself using fresh organic and active ingredients, and they keep the pimples away!! Trust me, I would know. read more
