Hydrafacial with PhotoGenesis and Hollywood Facial Laser Treatments at Atlanta's Spa Sydell Perimeter
There is nothing better than a professional med-spa facial and laser treatment to get your skin glowing and looking its absolute best! I am absolutely obcessed with my fantastic experience at Atlanta's Spa Sydell Perimeter. The combination of their highly trained professional facial astheticians and their cutting edge skincare technology delivers amazing results and no-downtime treatments.
My arrival at the spa! :)
My Skin:
As many of you know, finding effective skincare is one of the major themes of my blog and the reason I started beauty blogging in the first place. I have somewhat sensitive skin that can be tempermental. My skin is combination with more oil through the t-zone. I currently have a little bit of dryness after taking medications for bronchitis (decongestants can dry out your skin) and from Retin-A use. My skin is also somewhat prone to redness from irritation and from Retin-A use. I do get occasional breakouts and some clogged pores through the t-zone. I have some fine lines on my forehead and around my eye area. Since I am in my 40's, I am highly interested in preventative anti-aging skincare. So, I am dilligent about sunscreen use!
Treatment Goal:
At the Spa, I saw Melissa, who is the Director of Energy Services at the Spa. She is amazing! This is my second time with Melissa and I completely trust my skin in her hands. She is extremely knowledgeable and well-trained. You can tell that she has a passion for skincare and loves her work.
We started out by discussing my skin with her and we formulated goals for the treatment session. We were somewhat short on time because of a scheduling issue. I wish we would have had time for full versions of all of the treatments. However, Melissa made the experience completely worthwhile and beneficial! There is no question that I got fantastic results and she knew exactly the best way to focus her time to maximize my results. She also expressed that we could do something a little different each time depending on what my skin needs and to give me experience with all the spa has to offer. So we opted for modified versions of the hydrafacial (just the hydrafacial microderm in key areas-mostly the t-zone and areas of large pores) and a modified Hollywood Facial (just in the t-zone) with a PhotoGenesis Laser to the other areas. She added on Dermaplane to areas of hair and Red Light therapy after the laser with a serum. The overall goals were to exfoliate, hydrate, minimize appearance of pores, and trigger collagen production

Hollywood Facial:
I adore the Hollywood Facial laser treatment. I have had the full treatment before and it is fantastic. Your face is covered with a carbon mask and then the laser is used to remove the mask. So cool! This time I just had the mask applied around my nose and my chin to target the large pores. However, this can also be done to the whole face (and neck).

Dermaplane:
This was something that Melissa added on for me. Dermaplaning is using a sterile blade to gently exfoliate your skin. Your “peach fuzz” will be gently removed via shaving with a sterile surgical blade. This process gives you great exfoliation and reveals a super smooth and vibrant skin surface. So, essentially it is shaving your face with a very small blade. I belive she went against the grain of the hair growth. I must admit, I found the feeling of this treatment to be uncomfortable. So, I was not a huge fan. Melissa sensed my discomfort and stopped the treatment (she was checking in with me throughout my entire experience to make sure that everything was comfortable as she knew I had sensitive skin. So, I really appreciate how concious she was of making sure everything was comfortable). She assured me that I would have great results and that my skin was not red nor irritated looking. She expressed that it could have been the serum that she had applied previously that was making my skin sting. So, Melissa essentially did one side of my face and a few areas of the other side before stopping the Dermaplaning. She said I could follow up with a regular razor if I wanted to even it up. She then wrapped my face in a cold moist towel to ease my discomfort and that did the trick. However, Melissa was right! I did love the super super smooth skin that I got on the areas where I was Dermaplaned!!! After looking back on the experience, I think that I would try Dermaplaning again...even though it felt somewhat uncomfortable, my skin did not get red or irritated (I simply didnt enjoy the feeling of the shaving). So, for the results and since my skin wasn't visibily irritated, I think that I would try this again. I think that I remember that she did this treatment before the laser as it allows the laser to penetrate deeper because of the exfoliation of your skin.
Note for those of you considering trying this: Your hair does not grow back thicker! That is a common misconception of shaving. So, do not worry about that.
Red Light Treatment:
After my laser treatments, Melissa applied a healing serum of some sort and then held a red light to my face. The red light allows optimal penetration of the serum and aids in the healing of your skin following facial and laser treatments. I am so curious to learn more about red light therapy! This is my first experince with it and I thought it was really cool.
Overall, I had a great experience at the spa! After my treatments, Melissa discussed some follow up skincare and some suggestions for my next experience at the spa. I really thought her skincare suggestions and her follow up advice was spot on. Melissa noticed that I have some sun damage/sun spots on my skin as well as some redness around my nose. She recommended a laser treatment for my nose redness (I can't remember which laser she said would help with this) and she suggested that I come back for IPL for my sun spots. I totally want to try this! I would love any excuse to come back to Spa Sydell and to see Melissa for more treatments!
My Results:
Wow!!! I have results that I can both see and feel. My before/after photos really don't really do my skin justice. My skin is incredibly smooth and even toned. My rednesss is greatly reduced (my skin isn't reall normally that "red"....we are all just naturally somewhat pink). My skin just looks so smooth and even toned. Almost like I don't even need any foundation-type makeup. I am honestly once again blown away by the results of my skincare treatments from Spa Sydell! I had lunch out immediately following my spa appointment as well as an event that evening and the next day. So, I loved that I could go into the spa and have absolutely *no downtime* after a treatment. I literally walked right out of the spa and then went out to lunch...without applying makeup (my skin looked *that* good). Now ya'll, I will fully admit that I *never* go out without makeup. I even brought makeup with me to the spa. However, I looked in the mirror and decided that I was fine with skipping makeup. That evening I got many compliments on how great my skin looked.
Not only do I have results that I can see or feel, but I also can take comfort in knowing that the laser treatments work on your deep layers of your skin to stimulate collagen production. So, that is a result that I don't necessarily "see" however, it is scientifically proven that the lasers that were used will stimuate your collagen production. So, not only do the facial lasers give you awesome visible results, but they are also providing anti-aging benefits. At my age, I want to do everything that I can to boost collagen! There is no question that getting these treatments on a regular basis would have fantastic anti-aging results because of the collagen boost over time. Just something to keep in mind! :)
If you want a fantastic spa experience and are in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend Melissa at Spa Sydell Perimeter! She will take great care of you and your skin. I can't wait to go back and see Melissa again.
Spa Sydell has many locations. I have been to their Cumming Spa a few times too for massage and mani-pedis. They have other locations, too, including Norcross (at the Forum) and more!
