Treat yourself to a luxury skin treatment 🧖
City Editor Anne here. 👋 I recently got engaged, and with a wedding coming up, I’ve been searching for ways to level up my skincare. Enter: Synergy Face + Body.

As someone who has always struggled with acne, Synergy’s DiamondGlow Facial was the perfect reset for my skin (and the VISIA Skin Analysis confirmed it could use some work).

The one-hour experience was a great mid-day self-care break. Here’s how you can Try This.

City Editor, Anne's VISIA Skin Analysis results.

Request a VISIA Skin Analysis for an in-depth look at your specific skin metrics, including sun damage, pore size, and wrinkles.

What we tried (with pricing):

I booked my skin consultation and clinical facial treatment online ($200+). When I entered Synergy’s new luxe location in Cary, I was greeted by gracious staff and a serene waiting room.

First, lead medical esthetician Stephanie reviewed the details of my skin with a VISIA Skin Analysis. I even learned my TruSkin age (it turns out that I’m 23 and my skin is 21).

During the facial, Stephanie focused on my neck, face, eyes, and lips — so relaxing. The three-in-one treatment process extracted, exfoliated, and infused all at once to boost my skin’s health. I left feeling radiant with soft and glowy skin.*
