but in reality, I had some laser treatment done on my face today. My DIL is now in a dermatology group and is doing laser and micro needling, removing age spots, etc. She needed a before and after model in my age range, so I agreed to "go under the knife."
I can't tell you exactly what I had done, but here is a link to their website that explains all the treatments.

I got the works. Except botox. With all my allergy and mass cell issues, no botox. Using a filler made from my own blood was okay, but nothing that was foreign. Lord only knows how my body would react to that when it will attack itself for no good reason.
At this point, the biggest impression I have is that beauty is painful. I was not expecting the level of pain to be as intense as it was in some areas. Of course the laser burns, but it can be extremely "spicy" as my DIL says, but it was nothing compared to the filler around my eyes to help with my dark circles. That was downright painful.
Basically they poke a hole in your face and insert an cannula and then insert the filler in that and push it into your skin as they sculpt the area. Feeling that tube moving around was freaky at best and uncomfortable at worst, and poking the hole hurt like hell. But my DIL gave me higher "cheekbones" that she is sure I am going to love. LOL
The other lasting impression is the smell. They are burning things, so there's that burnt flesh smell that is exactly the same as when you get laser surgery on your eyes. It just stinks in a really bad way.
Currently my face burns exactly like it does when I get a sunburn and the "needling" did give me a headache. Other wise I am right as rain.
Have any of you had any type of skin treatment like this? What did you think of it and what were the results? I would love to learn about your experiences and how they were or weren't beneficial.
I am not certain what to expect, but apparently, I have to go two more times and do the whole thing all over again to get the full effect. I wasn't prepared for that either. LOL Being a model is hard work.
