My First Time At Hela

My first visit to Hela was fantastic. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant.

Here is how it went:

I arrived and was greeted by a very nice young lady at the front desk. She escorted me to the soothing waiting area until my aesthetician was ready for me.

When my aesthetician was ready, she came into the waiting area and escorted me to her treatment room.

The facial was simply heavenly! My aesthetician was very well trained. She was from Denmark and went to school for two years. The facial include twenty minutes of a cleansing massage. The machine with the long arm at a forty-five degree angle blew steam on your face to bring up white heads and black heads so that when she performed her extractions - all done by hands - she could get everything out with very minimal pain.

The extraction process included her squeezing out the impurities. The tougher ones she was able to use a small tool to bring the black head or white head to the surface as to not cause any discomfort to you.

The extraction process lasted roughly fifteen minutes. Since everything had risen up to the top layer of the skin, my facialist was able to swiftly remove everything.

During this whole time though, your hands have been moisturized and place in warming mittens as to keep the moisture locked-in.

And so, fifty minutes later you have this:

My face may be slightly red, but it is glowing. This means you have been proper cleansed!
