W Skin Care - Microdermabrasion + LLLT (Cold Laser)

If you follow Lainey Gossip, you'll know that she loves and raves about Lorinda Zimmerman's W Skin Care services as the anti-aging and facial miracle worker. I recently had a chance to try out their famous double blast treatment at the original Vancouver location, and loved the experience. It's known to attract Hollywood actresses who actually fly down from LA just for the day for appointments. The unique combination of microdermabrasion and Low Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) is heralded for its effective yet natural looking results.

I am very wary of youth-seeking treatments like botox or fillers as they have the tendency to come out looking too severe and obvious in that "you've had work done" way. Which is why I really like Zimmerman's restorative approach to skin care. Non-invasive, and more focused on enhancing the skin's natural radiance vs. dramatically changing one's face.
