Style Spotlight: The Skin Clinic of Virginia

Shaving, waxing, plucking, Nairing. Since the dawn of our desire for smooth skin, these have been the only weapons in a never-ending battle against the bristles. Well, it is time to take control of our hair follicles and proclaim once and for all, “be gone!”

Enter the ultimate defense: Laser Hair Removal. I first heard of this allegedly painful procedure several years ago when a friend tried this new method promising perpetually smooth legs, pits, and, really, any place you wish to be bare. I would have tried it in a heartbeat had it not been for the exorbitant price tag and my low pain threshold.

Lo and behold, there is now an affordable, less painful answer to the woes of hair removal. And it is available at The Skin Clinic of Virginia.

When I say less painful, I mean less painful than even some of the nasty shaving nicks I’ve given myself while performing acrobatics in the shower.

Many lasers out there are still quite painful and require half a dozen visits, but the GentleMax at The Skin Clinic of Virginia is one of the newest, most gentle, and most effective lasers available. What is more, it is the only one in town effective on darker skin. Imagine never having to shave again! Without even uttering an expletive.

At The Skin Clinic of Virginia, Beverly Sidders and her kind and knowledgeable staff take excellent care of you and all of your skin care needs. Bridging the gap between a dermatology office and a spa, the Skin Clinic of Virginia offers a variety of skin care treatments including Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels, Botox injections, and Dermal Fillers.

Additionally, the Clinic’s Fraxel Laser Rejuvenation is the latest in non-invasive treatments for a variety of concerns including damaged and scarred skin, malasma, sun damage, and the signs of aging.

The Skin Clinic of Virginia employs a highly trained team including a board-certified physician. The clinic is impeccably clean and comfortable, and I was very impressed with the level of personal attention. Every clinical skin care treatment is approached with the utmost care and concern for the patient’s well-being. And, men, the Skin Clinic is experienced in addressing your specific needs as well.

An added bonus is Beverly’s personal assessment of the skin care products on the market and her recommendations for the most affordable and effective versions. She lists her favorie products on the website, and has them available for sale in the clinic.

I’ll soon sign on to their online scheduling tool to secure my second appointment. A very convenient feature, you log on and pick your time and clinician. No more calling and waiting. Just another reason I highly recommend this clinic for all of your in-depth skin care needs.

It has been five weeks, and I am still delighted with my bare bikini. I’m officially a convert, knowing now that there is an easy and professional resource for clinical skin care needs right here in town. Next up for me…this tiny patch of broken capillaries. Be gone!
