Dermophisiologique’s signature face treatment, the “Machera al Ferro,” or Iron Cream Mask, is no ordinary facial. Part One of the treatment involved lotion-soaked eye pads, a round capsule that transformed into a diaphanous face mask, and the much-anticipated grey-hued creamy Iron Mask. The dramatic denouement unfolds below, with the creative handiwork of Amy Fletcher and aesthetic expertise of Ildi Pekar. Who knew what could be done with a magnet….Click on any of the photos to open a more detailed view in slideshow mode.
-
- As a magnetic slab moves over the surface of the face, the grey mask turns white
-
- The magnet efficiently removes endogen waste (oxidized sebum, degraded sweat)
-
- It also eliminates ectogens (dust, smog, micro-organisms)
-
- Halfway through the removal process, the magnet has accumulated a layer of iron particles, dead skin cells, and impurities
-
- Once the entire face has been stroked by the magnet, the skin remains coated in a nourishing white cream
-
- The iron and impurity-rich conclusion of the magnet’s work
-
- After the magnet is wiped clean,
-
- The magnetically-charged material clings to the tissue like magic
-
- The face is massaged for several minutes
-
- And the esthetician performs pore extraction if needed
-
- A special toner eliminates the cream compound residue containing cutaneous secretions and has an immediate lifting effect
-
- The Ampoule de Beaute- a high potency toning lotion- is applied to clean skin
-
- The lotion incorporates Ginkko Biloba to stimulate micro-circulation, equisetum for its firming properties, and collagen for deep restructuring action
-
- The esthetician prepares a blend of the Trattamento alle alghe (a lotion comprised of oceanic algae and concentrated physio-extracts) with natural ingredients in a mineral base
-
- The mixture contains kaolin clay and zinc oxide infused with red seaweed and starch, which reinforce the absorption function
-
- It also contains astringent natural extracts like witch hazel, ginseng, and wheat proteins, as well as the antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E
-
- This clay-based Aton Mask is applied to the face, neck, and decolette with a brush
-
- The eyes are covered with pads soaked with the OPTYMA eye mask, which lifts dark circles with blueberry, maintains elasticity with pro-vitamin B5, and reduces droopy eyelids with mallow and lily
-
- As the Aton Mask and OPTYMA Mask sink in, a softening body cream adds in a special treat
-
- A gentle hand massage might be accompanied by a brief nap
-
- The eye mask is removed with cotton
-
- And the Aton Mask is removed with a lukewarm damp towel
-
- Which is peeled away to reveal plumper, radiant skin
-
- The final step is the OPTYMA eye cream, which has a pH similar to human tears and contains substances compatible with the sensitive eye area
-
- This liposome-formulated eye cream uses a patented active complex called Poeisis Factor to enable tissues to regain their original functions
-
- The esthetician finishes with a moisturizer suited to skin type
-
- The results are instantaneous, and skin feels smooth and rejuvenated for days

I live in a small city. How do I find a good facial place in California, specifically Milpitas?
Thanks!
