it's been 10 months - so hard to believe. Still loving the results! I'm told I absolutely do not look 61!! By several men in particular. It's great for the ego. I hope it lasts a long time -- I doubt I will ever do it again - mostly because of the cost. I splurged this one time and can't spend that kind of money regularly!! Here are some before pics and current picture. Best of luck to all of you!! You were my lifeline!!

Hi, I'm going to the same Dr.you did for the full face Co2. Scheduled Dec 10. Will I be able to fake it at work on day 6/7? Is there a way I can contact you? I have a few questions on healing and pain. Thanks

By the way, you look unbelieveable! I got excited when I saw your pics. I'm 63 and a little nervous.

The pain is minimal. But it's uncomfortable because of the oozing. I tried to send you a private message, hopefully you got it. If not let me know

You look fantastic!

Thanks so much for coming back with this update. It's rare to see how people are going at 10+ months.

So glad you're still happy with it. Your neck and jawline look wonderful :).

You look great! I most definitely can say you look 10 years younger. Good for you for taking the initiative to better yourself. Improving one's appearance will also improve other aspects of one's life.

You look great. I just had my face lift and co2 less than a week ago. I am so far very happy with my results. Like you I am sorry I didn't do my eyes. Oh well, next year.

I am so happy with my results. I still have minor swelling and a little bump on right side of neck. It isn't even noticeable. Of course now I wish I would have had my eyes done!! Even though it was very scary (don't kid yourself!), it was definitely worth it. I'm 61 and feel like I look maybe 51??? Can I say I look 10 years younger?? :-)

Thank you for information and photos I've just had the same done with top eye lids, 9 days post, I don't think the laser worked. My neck is really swollen, I look as I'm looking worse every day

Trust me it will get better. After the first week you will notice improvement and then every week after. It's a scary journey in the beginning but it will turn out beautifully in a about 2 months PO. Hang in there! Do what dr says to speed healing, get lots of rest and drink lots of water. I promise you will not regret it. One thing iive noticed and it's kind off nice is that people, men and women stare at me just a few moments longer. Admiringly I hope!! Lots of luck and keep reading this site. It is great support!!!!
