One month later - skin looks great and cheeks and mid face definately feels kinda thicker and looks firmer - skin tone looks great - have gotten compliments on how great my skin is and it looks like I ahve makeup on even after I wash it off - however....so far this has not helped at all the area below the nasolabial lines/marionette area - likely because the treatment doesn't cover that area - seeing the doc next week and see what he thinks - even if i need filler the improvement I have seen so far with the general tone of the rest of my face is very satisfying and I would still do it again knowing what I know now.
He wiped down my face with something to wash it though not sure what. Wiped it down after too. The only thing I have residual is a little bit of soreness on my jaw muscles, but only if I push them -One thing to mention, I decided to drink emergen-C ever day since the procedure since Vitamin C is very good for collegan formation. Just a thought.
I am also post day three and am so sorry you went through the procedure without pain meds and a relaxer (I did percocet and a lorazepam) and found the procedure very very tolerable except a couple of point on the jaw and cheek bone definately were not pleasant but they passed quick so no big deal - but the meds made it totally fine - I have no physically noticeable anything - first day had a few tiny reddish marks on one cheek (three) which was likley from the transducer but looked like nothing really - I only had mid face done - I would think doing this without pain meds and thus in a lot of pain would stress the body out and not be good for healing - I have a high pain tolerance (have had surgeries, multiple tattoos) and would never suggest anyone do this without pain meds on board. I have a tinglyness around the jaw on one side which I was told was normal. I hope you feel better and look forward to seeing if we both see results as time goes on. Feel free 2 email me.
