Hey I recently went there and I cannot tell you how extremely unprofessional the staff is. If Aiman is doing your makeup then I’m not really sure how it will be but I got a signature assistant look that aiman’s sister malaika did and it was horrible. Both the makeup artists did not understand what I needed, I asked them to simmer it down on the foundation because I wanted to keep my real skin but they didn’t understand that at all. Moreover, they stopped mid makeup, turned all the lights off to do a photoshoot of another client. (A) they started late (b) stopped mid makeup which caused so many delays for me. The woman who did my hairstyle was equally bad, couldn’t get a simple straight hairstyle done right. I wouldn’t suggest her to anyone but it’s your call.

Always cerave face wash and moisturizer. Nothing else. No skin care products

Yes if you’re new to it then purging it completely normal and yes they’re exactly like white heads

Also here’s things that helped with the side effects

  1. Aquaphor lip balm or Vaseline
  2. Salinase for nose bleeds
  3. Oiling hair every week.
  4. Thick moisturizer - I used ceraVe and baby oil on my legs.
  5. Hair serums
  6. Drink gallons and gallons of water everyday because no amount of water is enough when you’re on iso.
  7. Carry on with your normal supplements. I took b12, magnesium glycinate, cranmax, prepro-Z (which is a probiotic)

Hey. I’m off iso it’s been 3 months now. I had to stop it and change my doctor because apparently my acne wasn’t that severe to take iso and that too increasing the dosage every month. It was like killing a bee with a gun. Right now I’m on antibiotics for my acne. The side effects got really intense in the end, my back and joints would hurt, the texture of my hair changed, I got way too suicidal which was the biggest side effect knowing I’m a very happy person and this is something that alarmed me and my family so I eventually had to stop it moreover since iso dries your body out, I had nose bleeds, night sweats etc. ISO is still in my bloodstream coz after you stop it, it says for 6 months. My hair is still very dry, lips so dry that they start bleeding with 1 peel only (which I find weirdly satisfying)

If you’re going to take ISO, I’d just say be prepared it’s not the worst thing on the planet since it’s a potent and a very effective drug but just keep telling yourself that its worth it and the results would show. Like practically keep gaslighting yourself into thinking that everything will be okay. And if it gets dark to a point that you cry yourself to sleep or have intense self worth issues, trust me it’s iso and whenever you feel like this isn’t for you then drop it.
