Say goodbye to your tired facial skin

The face was tired, dull, and reddish in all the wrong places and for all the wrong reasons, so we brought it in for a glow treatment at Hava Zingboim’s garage. This is not a light and pleasant massage with dolphin music in the background, but a meticulous treatment following a thorough diagnosis and tailored to the skin’s condition, performed by a therapist who knows exactly what he’s doing and why. Each stage is chosen according to the skin’s condition that day, not by birth date or by what worked well for the previous client.

We began with a multi-step cleansing that prepared the skin for diagnosis and removed everything we had accumulated on the face—makeup, dust, and heartbreak. Then came the slow-release glycolic peeling, which continues to work even after the treatment ends; afterwards we were coated with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, Q10, and other good things the anti-aging world has to offer, two masks—one gold and one purifying, one for glow and one for minimizing pores—and finally: A serum to strengthen the skin barrier and a quality sunscreen. Because there’s no point in doing such thorough work and then sending the skin back into the world war outside. What can we say, there’s truth in advertising—we left glowing. The skin looked even and radiant even without makeup, the annoying constant redness simply disappeared, and most importantly—all this goodness lasted for several full weeks.

The Sofwave device is an Israeli FDA-approved innovation for rejuvenating facial, neck, and body skin and is even suitable for the eyelid area, a great fit for anyone seeking an upgrade but afraid of looking doughy or overdone. The technology is based on ultrasound that heats the deep layers of the skin to 60–70 degrees to create controlled injury and encourage collagen and elastin production. At the same time, it activates a cooling mechanism that protects the outer layer from damage. So at the end, the patient slides off the bed like Superman, removes the protective goggles, and goes back to life without marks or downtime. In other words—you can disappear for a lunch break and return to the office with a swan’s neck.

The treatment at the clinic is based on diagnosis and thorough cleansing, followed by a system that creates controlled micro-damage in the skin’s depth to stimulate new collagen production. The device operates with advanced light and laser technologies with different handpieces suitable for different needs—scars, age- and life-related sagging, pigmentation, and all the good things this world has to offer your skin. It manages to provide customized results, without pain and without downtime.

There are days that demand a facial that will take your face apart to the foundation, transform you, and send you out renewed. And there are days when you just want someone to make you feel nice, clean, and hydrated in a respectable framework, without experimenting with innovative technologies and without committing to long treatment series.

For those who fall into the second category, it’s recommended to try the Estée Lauder treatment at their flagship store in Ayalon Mall. Forty-five minutes of pure classic care with products from the Re-Nutriv series, especially the new moisturizer from the Diamond collection, which is basically everything expected from Estée Lauder: Meticulous, luxurious, and smells like a million dollars. The therapist did what a good treatment should do—thorough double cleansing, a pleasant massage of the décolleté and neck that reminded us why we come for facials at all, and a black mask from the Diamond series that looks impressive and works accordingly. Along the way, we also got a hand and arm massage with matching cream from the same line, because why not.

The diagnosis was professional, and at the end we left with recommendations for continuing a home care routine, with a deal equal to the treatment price: NIS 450, which is fully refunded for product purchases in the store on the same day.
