5:56Now PlayingWhat’s the best way to get a no filter ready face? We tried out a microtreatment at Alchemy43 to find out.
At Alchemy43, a consultant uses 3D-imaging to Facetune your face. The facial editing mirrors the effects of various procedures, which helps you pick your treatment and lets you see what you’ll look like with cosmetic remedies like lip fillers or botox.
We decided to try 'microneedling,' which involves dozens of tiny needles puncturing the skin. It makes your skin think it’s under attack, so that it produces excess collagen to try and heal. It gets pretty bloody, but leaves your skin with a vibrant glow.
Our takeaway? We loved getting a procedure suggestion based on our own faces as opposed to bringing in a photo of someone else. The treatment itself requires several trips back to get the full effect, so it may not be the most cost effective option. Alchemy43 tries to cut patient costs with it’s $99/month subscription service, meaning you don’t often have to come out of pocket when you want work done. But for now, we may stick to $5 face masks from Target.
