Getting close to goal again! Really, REALLY want to figure out how to stay there this time. I understand the body can fluctuate a few pounds up or down, but I really want to keep it to a narrow range. I do not like what happens to my body when I get over 130. I get a muffin top and lose that nice definition in my waist.
Things on the Fraxel front are going well, too. My face looks pretty good - just looks like I've gotten a sunburn. Chest and neck look almost the same, but it's the demarcation between the treated and non-treated areas that show how red the skin really is there.
It's way, way too soon to be able to report any real results - you have micro-swelling for a good 6 - 9 weeks following the procedure (which is why you always see the "after" at six weeks - still a bit of swelling that plumps out the wrinkles but long enough to get rid of the residual redness and when the newer, smooth skin starts appearing).
I do see a pretty good degree of tightening at my jaw line, which is cool. I didn't really sag or have jowls (I'm a sinker, not a sagger), but there was obviously some laxity there. Hope that stays. Right now, aside from being red, I have hardly any wrinkles! lol... But been through this before and it's just a result of the micro-swelling and those will return in a few weeks. Biggest change last time was a definite tightening above the eyes and the wrinkles were definitely improved, and my skin tone was greatly improved. Not a miracle, not a face lift, but I really think it helped my skin's appearance and helped boost some collagen production which I really needed. So I hope to get about the same degree of results with this last treatment. :) I hope!
Aging is not for the weak.
Feeling pretty darn good these days again! Losing weight and getting back to good, hard exercise really helps. I hope everyone is having a great week as well!
