$3,500
So I made it to 40 on my own, and have finally decided it's time to begin some rejuvenating and preventative treatments - people always tell me I look much younger, and have been really proud that I did it with clean eating and living right. But, why not get a little help to give my skin a boost and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles before they start, right?
Problem areas I hope to treat:
Overall my skin is pretty good - nothing major to complain about but a bit of under eye puffiness (thanks LA party animals!) and a little bit of pinkness from rosacea (I don't have it bad since giving up gluten 5 years ago). A few small scars, a few discolorations (like freckles kind of) or little sun spots, and one big dog bite scar on my lower lip/chin (12 pounds of dog, 11 years ago, 18 stitches). Some fine lines (I received a small amt of botox to lessen some lines at the corners of my eyes from smiling), "nasal labial fold" lines (I received a very tiny bit of filler there a few months ago), and crepe-iness under my eyes.
Hoping the CO2 will help with all of this. I will be posting a photo before (day of), and daily after to show the progress. No make up obviously.

Day 1 after procedure
Treatment itself was not painful, in fact I giggled through the first 10 minutes. However, the heat that follows is rough. The cooling machine pointed at your face is your best friend - it would have been unbearable without it. Got a toradol shot right after because the pain from the heat was hard to stand, i also used a can of evian mist to cool off.
Once in the car the AC saved me and the toradol definitely had kicked in. Got home to a prepped and air conditioned bedroom, ate a quick dinner and went to sleep.
Woke up at 5am and applied more barrier ointment and fell asleep. 11am now and no pain at all, some tightness, looks gross. :) took a little shower (I have a sonaki vitamin C filter shower head to remove impurities) and am doing the vinegar soak. Still no pain, just super puffy, swollen and some tightness.
