Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery - Vadnais Heights

I’m getting ready to get married to the love of my life this summer. I’ve seen KariJo at Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery once a year, for the last 3 years, for a Halo treatment. KariJo is THE BEST provider of this treatment in the Twin Cities. I have had this very expensive laser done by 3 other technicians in town, with less than desirable results. My face did not swell at all until I found KariJo. She knows exactly how to use the settings of this machine. She also pairs it with BBL and Microlaser peel to get these dramatic results! I’m 43, and most worried about my lower jawline sag and lines around my eyes and mouth. KariJo spends extra time in these areas. She is professional, adorable, and fun to chat with! The treatment itself is not as terrible as some people make it out to be. There are 3 passes along each area of your face, and the heat feels like it increases with each one. Yes, it’s uncomfortable by the time you are done, but you turn your air conditioning on in your car on the way home and spray your face with mineral water, and you are good to go within 30 minutes. The next day you want to look unrecognized, this is how you know it worked! It’s been my experience, the more swelling, the better the results. Your face gets pretty tight for 3 days, and then these dark spots come to the surface and flake off. Those spots are sun damage coming up and out of your skin! The laser os so strong, it can remove up to a decade of sun damage. I’ve been back to the gym within 3 days every time with no problems. You have to wear sunscreen and take care of your skin to keep your results. I have sent her 3 of my friends this year, and we all make the long trek from Edina to Vadnais Heights because she is THAT GOOD! Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery also has a program called Mrewards. You pay $4000 at sign up, and you get all of their aesthetic services at 40% off, and the Halo laser for 25% off. It’s an amazing deal if you are trying to get serious about taking care of your skin. They also give you 20 free units of Botox and an invite to their yearly open house, with even more savings. I have seen Dr Griffen in this office for a skin tag removal on my eyelid and have sent him several people for eyelid surgery, and they have all been very happy with their results. Updated on 30 Jan 2023: Here are some photos post procedure as well as now (4 month later). My skin is absolutely glowing and I couldn’t be happier with my results! Obviously, the redness and swelling of the immediate post procedure photo isn’t fun, but it’s so worth it a week later!
