Firenze Clinica

This beauty salon, run by former YSL model Hanna Jacobs, only opened in September 2014 but is already booked up weeks in advance. What is so special about them, you ask me? Well, I think it might be their signature treatment: the Botox facial. The whaaaaat??? Yes, the Botox facial. No needles needed.
I book a package deal with body brush, back/​neck massage, jet peel and the facial. The body brush was ok, to be honest it went on for too long and my skin got a bit sensitive to the bristles towards the end. The massage was only meh also. I wasn’t asked about any areas that may need focus on or avoidance, the pressure was just whatever the therapist decided to apply. Not great all. Then the facial part. My face was cleansed with a product that smelled of coconuts. The the jet peel got rid of dead skin using high air/​water pressure. Prepare to get wet. Very wet. Although she tried to cover my hair, I had water everywhere including my ears. After the peel, a cream of unknown origin was applied and worked into the skin using a small tool. Then, the Botox part started. Little electric impulses where sent through my skin from jaw line up to hairline and back down. Painless in some areas, quite painful around the teeth. I felt the muscles twitching so it definitely did something. This was followed by a mask and a vitamin C serum which from their own range that’s developed in Switzerland with a (apparently famous) surgeon who’s identity remains unknown. The serum is for sale for just under 50Euro in the salon, all other products can be ordered off their website. It is recommended to get the facial done every couple of months and to maintain the results with the serum. I definitely saw a difference in the appearance of lines but then again, any good facial puts moisture back into the skin to smooth out fine lines.
