As a travel writer who’s on the road for half of the year, there’s one thing I always prioritize: having TSA-friendly versions of my skincare regimen, from cleansing oil to sunscreen, ready to go at all times.

Like exercising or eating more plant-based foods, caring for my skin is a non-negotiable. Though I’m pleased as punch with my routine, even the best products have their limitations. So what’s a forty-something woman who’s interested in rejuvenating her complexion, not ready for Botox and dermal fillers, and rarely at home supposed to do?

As someone who’s tried out gobs of nonsurgical cosmetic procedures (eMatrix, Ultherapy, Vbeam), I found the session totally comfortable and marveled how super-fresh (and not the least bit red) my skin appeared afterwards. Though I’d happily recommend the Signature Laser Facial to laser newbies or people seeking a more subtle glow up, I knew my skin could handle more.

It was Skin Laundry’s most powerful offering, the Power Duo Facial, that got me hooked. The thirty-minute treatment starts with the Power Signature Facial, which delivers twice the power the Signature Laser, and is followed by the Thermo Fractional Facial. Del Campo says the cutting-edge technology enlisting a heated titanium tip with tiny gridded points “stimulates the production of collagen, increases skin cell turnover, and creates microchannels that enable greater absorption of products for smoother and healthier skin.”

While I found the Power Signature portion to be as comfortable as the
