Years of Facials Taught me this
In this candid video, JJ Virgin shares her lifelong battle with acne, which was especially challenging as an athlete who couldn’t wear makeup. She credits the Virgin Diet with improving her skin, but she still dealt with stubborn acne scars. In her 30s she discovered intense pulsed light (IPL) laser therapy, which eliminated her scars, leading her to explore additional laser treatments. A side‑project editing a plastic surgeon’s commercial sparked her curiosity about cosmetic injectables; she began using Botox and later fillers as non‑surgical ways to address facial lines. Over the years, she noticed that the frequency of these procedures—Botox, fillers, and laser sessions—kept increasing, consuming more time and money, and she grew dissatisfied with the diminishing results. The video reflects on the cycle of maintenance treatments, cost, and the realization that these interventions may not be a permanent solution.
