Update two years on
$2,000
Hey, everyone! I know it's been about two years since my last update.
Unfortunately, there wasn't any aha moment when I saw this was working. I passed on the third appointment. I had actually scheduled a facelift but Covid hit and the country shut down that week.
My facelift is scheduled for 10/18/2022, so I'll start another thread as I go through the process with Dr Mizuguchi.
I'm so, so excited!!! Exactly two weeks from tomorrow.

Days 4-6
The swelling has gradually diminished and my skin has started to peel. My eyes are still a bit swollen, but it gets better every day. The peeling skin brings on a different itch (healing!). I'm still red, but that's very, very slowly going away and I can see more white patches. Still seems like I have a long way to go, but I think there is some improvement. I can actually see one of my dimples that had disappeared some time last year in the vertical smile lines (hello, my friend, welcome back!).
I just keep moisturizing and waiting.

Sounds like you have inflammation, hopefully it goes down...I had inflammation and my skin was tight and dry for months and the pores got big...due to inflammation, hopefully won't happen to you...do you have rosacea or allergies by chance? ...if you want further info form me, send me a private message.

I'll post some after my next treatment this Friday. So far I'm not seeing much of a change.

Same thing happened to me. Give it a few months before you notice real results. I had three treatments last year and with each treatment they were more intense. I'm getting another one next month. I'm taking 10 days off of work. The itching is definitely the worst part of the healing process.

That is so good to hear! I'm lucky to be able to work remotely or I'd never do this. It was a full 9 days of downtime before I looked close to normal. Haven't seen much of a difference yet, but my second visit is this Friday. Not looking forward to the pain. :(

Day 3
Day 3- Things are not better. As soon as I woke up I could feel that my face was swollen. I could barely see. I looked like I’d gone a few rounds with a brick wall. The itching is awful and I’m seeing what look like whiteheads. Thankfully I knew that was a possibility. I texted my son-in-law and tell him I wouldn’t be seeing them this weekend for my daughter’s birthday celebration. The last thing I want my young grandkids to see is this face!
I filled a bag with crushed ice and water and have been just dabbing all over my neck and face all day. This seems to help a lot.
My skin feels more crusty and bumpy. I remind myself again that this may get even worse before it gets better (hopefully!).
As the day goes on into evening, I’m alternating dabs of the ice pack and moisturizing. I can see better, but the area under my eyes are still very, very swollen.
