Re-opening Timeline
Hello! Long long time no see. I miss you all so much! I wanted to give you an update on Revive Skin Services reopening. This month I signed an extension on my lease in Bend, so once I am able, I will be back there doing services. Troutdale is still under contract as well and ready to open when I am.
As for timeline on reopening: As you probably know by now, my health after my COVID infection in March has been strongly effected. I am starting to finally climb out of the deep medical hole it put me in. Pain is better, energy is better, blood pressure is still an issue…but we are working on that. There is just one major issue that needs to be addressed before I can offer facials again: my hands.
The severe viral infection and the post-viral syndrome that I am suffering from has caused nerve damage and muscle and tendon issues all over my body, but the worst of it has been in my hands. Again, the pain is much better and the weakness is also getting better (I can finally cut my own food again!), but the tendons in my hands have been severely damaged. I have been doing physical therapy, occupational therapy and bracing and nothing has helped. I need to have surgery to open up several tendon sheaths in both hands.
Unfortunately, the surgery has been put on hold by my surgeon until I am off prednisone for some time, as it decimates your immune system and you are left with a high probability of infection if you have surgery. This process takes from a few weeks to a few months.
After my immune function returns, I will then have surgery on one hand and start recovery, which can take up to a month to fully recover. My surgeon says that I can have surgery on both hands pretty close together. REALLY long story short…I am still 3-5 months out to start in-person services again.
I want to thank you for being patient with me and I really hope you don’t replace me, but I’ll understand if you can’t wait. I am offering clients home facial kits to help with the lapse in treatment. They are only $25 and contain the full process of cleansing, pro-peel, mask, toner, serum and moisturizer and they’re all professional grade products that I use in the office too with step by step instructions.
Please let me know if you have skin problems, questions or concerns. I have been offering free skincare answers and advice this whole time; addressing mask related issues mostly. Just text me at (541) 410-2697
