Q&A: What is Dermaroller Skin Rejuvenation all About?

Everyone would like to have perfect skin; unfortunately this is not always possible. The natural wear and tear of life can take its toll on your skin and cause significant damage. Wrinkles can be caused by stress, acne can cause scarring and sun damage can cause visible damage to your skin. In past years there was no way of repairing this damage once it had been done, however new technology has meant that this is no longer the case. Sceptical? Me too, which is why as part of my commitment to better understand the MedSpa world and I took some time to interview MYA Cosmetic Surgery on this new treatment, Dermaroller.

PRETTY CONNECTED (PC): What is Dermaroller?

MYA COSMETIC SURGERY (MS): Dermaroller is a revolutionary technology we offer which neutrally rejuvenates your skin. It works through a micro-medical skin-needling procedure, which encourages skin rejuvenation and promotes collagen production. The tiny roller is moved across your damaged areas and stimulates the skin’s natural ability to heal itself, meaning that whether the damage is new or old, it can be repaired without the use of chemicals.

GHD Gold Series Proffestional: The Ultimate flat iron

IMG_2239
Meet Sarah! One of the greatest people and artists I know! Sarah tasked me with finding the best flat iron for her extremely thick, coarse color-treated hair. As a GHD enthusiast, I recently got the ghd Gold Series Professional 1″ styler iron from the limited edition metallic collection, which can rival the thickest of hair strands for this challenge. What I like about GHD flat irons is they are lightweight, compact and has a swivel cord so it never tangles or is uncomfortable to use at any angle of straightening. (Although I’d love if they added a gripper to the handle — I always apply too much pre-oil or balm as my heat protectant and straighten with greasy hands). All of their flat irons come with a stylish head resistant styler bag, 2 year warranty and universal voltage. It also has a rounded barrel for those talented enough to use a flat iron to curl their hair.

The ghd Gold Series heats up EXTREMELY fast and beeps once it’s reached it’s optimum temperature of 347-365 degrees fahrenheit. Another feature I like (especially for any of you paranoid-you-left-the-house-with-the-flat-iron-on) is it goes into sleep mode after 30minute if not used. Only downfall is you can’t adjust the head settings, which isn’t much of a problem for the majority

#ThrowbackThursday: Beauty Trip to Poland

As summer nears and the weather gets warmer it’s hard not to fantasize about getting out of town and planning new travel destinations and spending some quality time with the wonderful friends in my life. Unfortunately, My schedule has been so crazy recently, I haven’t had a second to plan anything —  I’ve been fantasizing about going somewhere tropical (maybe St. Thomas, Costa Rica, or South America). Although my true desire is to do a month in Europe; spend time in Paris, visit Berlin and make it to Greece and Maldives. (If I keep running with this fantasy, I may never return.)

Danielle, Rachel, me and Felicia!
Danielle, Rachel, me and Felicia!

A lot of this need to explore dates back to last summer, when I was invited an a impromptu press trip to Poland with some of my best blogger/beauty friends, Rachel from Birchbox, Felicia from This, That, Beauty, and Danielle, The Style and Beauty Doctor. This was our first trip together and it could not have been a better time! Nothing but beautful weather, great conversation and endless exploration! We were invited to attend the inaugural Polska Cosmetics conference and Beauty Forum Expo and to learn more about the Polish beauty industry, and what we got was so much more. Shopping trips, dance clubs, museum visits, walking tours from downtown to old town and between.
