I spent a lot of time researching top spas in LA since moving here from NYC last year and had very high standards. I came in for a microderm facial with Lila and had perhaps the best results from a facial I have ever had (and that's saying something, b/c I frequented top spas for years in NY). She was incredibly warm and very knowledgeable about products, my skin and the advice she gave. Even more impressive was the fact she even recommended products and supplements not sold at the salon - the true test of a genuine and educated esthetician. Not only that, her recommendations were spot on - my skin improved significantly after using the products she recommended.
The facial itself was pretty standard (and a bit pricey), but she pushed my skin a bit w/ the microderm portion and the results were better than I've had. I felt she truly knew what my skin could and could not handle. The only thing that surprised me is that the microderm came after the facial/cleansing portion - it is usually done first in my experience to maximize results so the treatments on the skin are not ground off by microderm process. In any event, my skin looked better than it has in months and as I mentioned, the products she recommended made an ever bigger difference on my skin. She herself commented on the improvement the second time I went back for another facial - the anti-oxidants made a noticeable improvement. I will be back again!
