the day of my treatment - Houston, TX

today is tuesday day 7 my skin is beautiful. i am so glad i did my neck because it is like redoing a house the new makes the other look old. i thought my skin was done improving but it really has continued to improve. i ususally do not wear a base makeup beccause it is so messy and does not fit in my life with makeup on the phone and my clothes and on my husbands shirt. today i look better than if i wore base makeup with just the moisturizer. i can not use the usual one because of the alfa hydrozide it has in it, it will stink right now. so i used one with vitamins in it i get it at heb in the health section. it is very reasonable in price and it works really well called derma e this one is ginseng and ester-c firming creme.i have changed my decision to yes this was a great thing!

yesterday i became itchy i owed it to the brown skin. as the day wore on i saw a rash under all this stuff that is sluffing off. i called my dr. he called my dr. as i said he is great! he called me back he asked me all the right questions and he told me to go get cortisone cream i have not slept well until last night so another thing to purchase and to have on hand is cortisone cream. i have continued to entertain with my close friends but today i could and probably will go out in public as the skin is on its own they made it clear to not remove any of it just what comes off washing gently. i had to use that new dry brush as so much skin is sluffing it is in my hair and when i apply the aquaphor make sure you have this in your kit before you go have pixel done. the dead skin balls up in the morning and night when gently applying the aquaphor then gently washing your face. aquaphor is a better moisturizer at this time.this is sunday day 6. i have changed my report from questionable to yes any one can understand if this much skin has sluffed off you can see that it works. if your wrinkles where not very deep then yes they went with the peeling. the new skin is as soft as my lips. i had really good skin before so my husband was so upset with the waffel brown skin that was there for those 5 days. i can tell the difference i am not sure if any one else can. what i was after is the pore reduction and the cologene that is to come later. i am 53 almost 54 i know before my treatment my great nieces people thought were my children so i have good genes. i will go 9n to see my doctor to have him look to see if i need the next treatment. i will prepare better by taking time off from work. i hope that this has helped others. i did forget to say that when you sleep try and keep your head elevated.this will help with the swelling. would i do it again it is hard to answer that question because i was not prepared to see my self as probably what i would like if i was a hundred years old for 5 days. if it continues to improve in these next 3 weeks as it has done for these days i just will have to suck it up and do the whole treatment.i will say i do not know how the skin underneath is not harmed. i again will warn you having it done under a dr. care is so very important!!!! so go down the list

yesterday i was still a little uncomfortable especially the neck. i put on mineral makeup to go to dinner i had to ask for some ice to put on my neck suggested by my waittress she said it would help and it did or the glass of wine. i think i look like what i was trying to avoid! very wrinkled it looks like i am trying to play a part of a very old me.it is very brown and really wrinkled from it drying up and very itchy. the areas that were stacked are very wrinkled i want to peel this off but they said no so i just put more coconut oil on to makes it so i can not feel like it is going to crack i am wanting to wake up and have my old face back at this point. i am sure this is just part of it i was hoping there would be other posts so i could see if this is normaland if they continued to donthis 2 more times.

The name of the coconut oil is Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin my great niece has a skin condition and this is the only thing that helps it not even other brands she says this is the only one that works for her. I used it on the trip to Florida right before having this Pixel done. DR. Worthing made me come in to check and make sure I did not get too much sun before this treatment and he wanted to see how my Botox was doing. Like I said  they are careful before and after the work they do there. Make sure you ask patients who have had things done. I was lucky to have met DR. Worthing when I had to have my nose fixed from all the sports and an attack that I had I had experienced early in my life. I just got lucky he was good I was only in my 20's so I did not even think to research a DR. I just could not breath and needed to be able to breath through my nose not my mouth. I did not get sunburned eve though I was in the sun for 3 days with a hat of course using the oil I trusted my 13 year old niece saying this is the best stuff ever. Never too old or too young to learn something!I Have been using it nightly ever since. I like it, it is very greasy but absorbs over night and my feet look so much better. I buy it at Whole Foods. I am going to look to see if I can buy it on 1960 since we are getting all new businesses here and I want to give back a full jar since I have just about used the whole jar!
