  • Posted to Adverse Effects Fraxel Repair on 14 Aug 2009

    Good point Awalk something to think about. I never looked at it that way. Especially considering that there are risks with fraxel repair, if it was 100% risk free it might have been worth the money and downtime.
  • Posted to Facial exercises are for crazy people? on 27 Apr 2009

    I am using the facial flex started 2 months ago and have defo noticed an improvement to my upper lip its fuller and my face from below the eyes feels a lot firmer. Now trying to find the right programme i.e. flexeffect or carole to follow for the eyes and forehead. Here is one thought, when dr's do face lifts they always tighten the facial muscles and if needed move them back to their original position; this I saw on tv a few times so when I heard about facial exercises for the first time I thought about that very fact.

    MSM is suppose to help with a lot of things really anything in the body that has collagen so beyond hair, skin and nails i.e like Sharon says joints and I have an issue with this too due to over exertion and I think I am starting to feel some imrovements there as well. I now also think that it is working on my hair has the beautician who colors my eyebrows said to me today that they seem thicker :) yippee

    Hi Boston Girl, that is really good to hear. I read something on the web that MSM was really good to take to improve skin regeneration and that it helps with rosacea i.e. diminishing or even removing it. In general, MSM (sulfur) is, so I read, good for skin, joints and even hair and nails etc. as it helps to build better collagen and it is in a lot of foods especialy vegetable but due to diets i.e. not enough greens and the way vegetables are produced these days we do not get enough of it. Anyway I am just thinking that the laser treatments force the skin to build new collagen lets give your body all the building blocks it needs. You have to start with slow dose as it also detoxes the body. I am not sure if this MSM talk is just hype but I am going to try it and wait and see. Hope it helps. Maybe someone else here has got experience with MSM and could comment.
