Chapter Aesthetic Studios have been popping up across the Twin Cities metro area and our team has been buzzing about these beautiful med spas and hearing firsthand from friends who have had great results. We were excited to experience it for ourselves!
Every guest at Chapter Aesthetic Studio begins their journey with a complimentary MAP Assessment. MAP stands for My Aesthetic Plan. MAP is Chapter Aesthetic Studio’s evidence-based process that starts with a skin assessment to outline a personalized aesthetic treatment plan. This high-touch, high-tech experience expertly guided by an Aesthetic Advisor, tells the story of your skin like you’ve never seen before.
Recently, I was invited into a Chapter Aesthetic Studio for their signature MAP Assessment — unique to Chapter and the foundation of your skincare journey at their studio. Come along with me as I have my assessment and learn all about the process!
Chapter Aesthetic Studio MAP Assessment
I’m in my early 40s and not only have fine lines made their grand entry, I’ve really started noticing the stress of the last few years creep onto my face. Plus, I’ve been genetically blessed with naturally red undertones and large pores. I was eager to hear and learn how Chapter Aesthetic Studio’s MAP Assessment would be different from other skincare consultations I’ve had in the past.
When I arrived at the studio, I was immediately greeted by name. I was offered a beverage and a chic yet cozy place to sit while I filled out a few forms prior to my appointment. Shortly, the Studio Manager and Aesthetic Advisor Tori introduced herself and ushered me into the beautifully appointed Planning Suite where the MAP Assessments are conducted.
We sat comfortably together on velvet lounge chairs while I watched a short video about Chapter Aesthetic Studio and what the MAP Assessment is all about. After that, Tori took the time to hear all about my skin concerns. She wanted to know my skin history, problems I’ve had in the past, how I take care of my skin now, priorities for addressing my skin, and even any troubling and/or embarrassing issues. (Hello unwanted hair!)
Here’s where the magic begins. Tori then introduces the machine in the corner of the room I’ve been eyeing up since I sat down. The Visia Skin Analysis Facial Scanner captures high-quality best-in-class imagery that analyzes your skin for certain conditions. It measures and analyzes for:
- Wrinkles
- Spots
- Pores
- Texture
- Porphyrins (evidence of bacteria in pores)
- UV spots, typically from overexposure to sun
A skin scan is a key part of every guest’s MAP assessment experience. It gives you a realistic picture of your skin’s current condition. There is no guesswork when it comes to identifying treatments that will truly benefit your skin to achieve the results you desire. It was clear to me that Tori, my Aesthetic Advisor, is highly skilled at using this technology to identify concerns.
My scan results really started a conversation for us. We talked about how the scan made me feel, what I felt was a priority, what I felt good about (YES! Sunscreen IS important!), and not so good about (WHY are my pores so BIG!). It’s also a great way to track progress and see results. Chapter Aesthetic Studio also holds itself accountable to you through the use of your individualized skin scan. (I know we all really want to see my skin scan, so here we are!)
Given my skin scan results, my skin priorities discussed at the beginning of the consultation, and my budget (which Tori was quick to ask about), Tori presented my personalized MAP – My Aesthetic Plan that would start me out on my journey to achieving the results I’m hoping for: reducing redness, gently smoothing fine lines, and diminishing pore size.
Chapter Aesthetic Studio also offers a membership program called The Circle. I found this option really intriguing. The membership is $89/month, but it goes directly into your account at your local Chapter Aesthetic Studio. You can bank that $89 towards future services or spend it on booked appointments. Your membership also provides you with 15% off all treatments and skincare (I have the power cream, and ohh I love her) and 50% off laser hair removal. Not to mention a free monthly B-12 injection and invitations to VIP events.
At the end of my appointment, I left with a specific treatment recommendation and an understanding of what I could start doing immediately to treat my skin to begin seeing improvements. I’m looking forward to starting my new skincare journey with Chapter Aesthetic Studio and highly recommend a complimentary MAP Assessment to anyone who is looking to understand more about how to address their skincare needs.
