BBL on weather worn 65 year old face, so far, so good

Having worked outdoors my entire career, my face is aging quite a bit, very upsetting for one who’s enjoyed youthful looks throughout those menopause years. So, I nervously choose BBL laser as a start to my rejuvenation program. I made this decision because a friend has had it done annually, and her skin looks great!

The treatment was “interesting”, I wouldn’t call it painful, but it’s not for the faint hearted! I used no numbing cream, but took an ibuprofen ahead of time. It took an hour with three passes for brown, capillaries and red tones.

Afterward there was no discomfort. I was a bit red and over 48 hours that faded and the “zapped” sundamage spots are fading, but still evident. Today is day three and my face feels tight and a bit “burny”.

So far, so good.

The spots are fading quickly and I feel like the texture of my skin is improved. The “mashed potato” texture of my face seems to be gone.

Note, the photos are in reverse order. Photo 3 is immediately post treatment, 2 is day one, the first photo is day 1.

I just want to say that a lot of this is an “inner game”..... if it’s going to make me feel more confident about my aging face, then it’s a win.

The brown and red spots faded, pin dots of brown on their way out, my skin texture seems smoother, my lips better defined with the fading of the red sun damage, deep jawline “waddle” wrinkle seems gone!!! Again, so far so good! Two thumbs up!
