Most people see Shani for one of two things: her signature facials or her product, Retinol Reform (more on that later). Let's talk facials first. What do they consist of?
"It depends," Shani said. "But it starts with a cleanse. Then I use something for tightening called a Novasonic."
Novasonic is a sound frequency device that vibrates or massages the skin, causing the deep tissue of your skin to heal. I equate it with one of those devices you strap babies into calm them down — I was in a cathartic state after she used this on me.
Shani continued with her regimen. "Steam is on the whole time. Then I do a chemical peel on face, neck, chest, and hands. After the peel, we do extractions, a mask, ultrasound, and then LED light. And sometimes microderm in the beginning."
Take it from me (or Jessica Alba's skin) when I say that it was the best facial I have had in my career, mostly because I saw immediate results. I had a blepharoplasty on my eyes when I was 3 to help fix ptosis, and I've noticed the skin on one of my eyes has started to become less taut. After the facial, I looked more awake and lifted. And it lasted for days after!
The highlight of the treatment was probably the LED light. It felt like I was incubating — and it's a must have when it comes to seeing results, according to Shani.
"One of my favorite treatments to transform skin is LED light therapy since they can be used to treat acne and antiaging. Not only do they speed up healing and kill bacteria from acne, but they also help with fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen in the skin."
