These have been complicated days for Marcela Luevanos, owner of Skin by Marcela, dedicated to skincare.
“I have already opened my new store, and a wave of thoughts was tormenting me: will my clients come, the economic aspect, many things. But you know, with meditation and positive thinking, I can deal with that,” says Marcela.
We were not sure what to talk about for this segment, so we decided on a trending topic: how to deal with wrinkles and acne scars.
“Yes, reversing wrinkles is related to vanity, but it’s allowed. It’s a matter of personal choice, and we must respect it,” says Marcela Luevanos.
For her, the beautification process is natural. People seek to look better, hide the signs of aging a little, and feel good.
Currently, she is offering a treatment based on silicone needles, which inject a serum into the first layer of the skin, hydrating and helping to conceal wrinkles on the face.
“This treatment is very good, it doesn’t hurt or cause bleeding, it’s perfect,” she says.
The treatment lasts for two to three weeks. For those who want a permanent treatment, doing it once a month is enough.
“I believe that everything is valid as long as no chemicals are injected. I have friends who got breast implants, and now, years later, they have realized how harmful it is for them. They are in the process of removing them,” says Marcela Luevanos. “But this treatment is completely harmless, it doesn’t cause any damage.”
According to Marcela Luevanos, there is currently a trend to look as good as possible. She also acknowledges the movement of people embracing their natural selves, showing their gray hair and wrinkles.
“I have never been ashamed to reveal my age, perhaps because I look younger than I am,” says Marcela Luevanos. “Although if I can give myself a little touch-up, well then, go ahead, I’ll do it.”
The treatment with these silicone needles has three main objectives: brightening the face, reducing wrinkles and acne scars, and toning the skin.
Recommendations from Skin by Marcela:
In addition to the treatment, you can do the following at home:
-Use of retinol: it is recommended to use it at night after the age of 32.
-Protect yourself from the sun.
-Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
-Avoid sleeping on your stomach.
-Use a silk pillowcase instead of cotton.
Marcela Luevanos: “The lease agreement was on my desk for a month until I told myself, ‘it’s time!’”
*The treatment at Skin by Marcela costs $155 and includes a facial treatment.
