WORTH IT
Filler, Botox, RF microneedling , cool peels, skin pens, co2 laser, lower face and neck lift, good ZO products. Derma-planing. Lots and lots of work to age backwards. It’s hard for me to believe how bad I really looked.

Aging Backwards
As I continue my journey of esthetics I’m amazed at my results. When I look back at my early pictures from when I first got started (around age 50) it’s hard I believe I looked that bad! :-/. Just the aging process that I wasn’t aware of until I started paying attention!!! Now I pay almost too much attention!! Hahaha.

Your journey is super inspirational! I'd love to hear your thoughts on what treatments have made the biggest difference for you and what treatments you regret/wasn't worth it! I'm also curious about if you put a lot of effort into lifestyle too like diet, supplements and exercise or if its all just the different treatments.

Thank you so much! The best treatments have been the RF micro-needling. And something called the cool peel. I use ZO (obagi) products from the estheticians office. They are expensive but worth it. I did have a lower face and neck lift (reviewed separately). I also had a lip lift (reviewed separately) which did not do much for my lips but pulled my philtrum up. I do have my plastic surgeon put my lip filler in once a year. I did one treatment that was expensive and broke my face out like crazy. I reviewed that one too. I believe if you are at the place where you start needing lots of filler (I did this and regretted it so much) just get the facelift. In long run it saves money and is just better. If you have any other questions let me know!! Thanks :-)

The Work Continues
I continue to get laser work done on my face. I look 10 years younger at 58 than I did at 48.

Wait, are those pictures of you at 50 down below for real?!? Like, really? You look NOTHING like you did then, now. I'd say twenty years younger!! What type of laser work are you doing? Please share everything because you look absolutely fantastic! I turn 50 this October and am just now now starting an anti aging routine at my medical spa. Did a thermaclear treatment last month and had an IPL treatment today. Next month will be a hydrafacial. Considering a mini lower face/neck lift. Anyway, share away...I'm blown away by your results! xo
Hahaha—it’s really incredible isn’t it!!! I started at 50 and I will be 58 in September!! I definitely look SO MUCH better at 58 than I did at 50! Most recently—October 2022– I had a lower face and neck lift. I continue with my facial treatments every 6 weeks. Cool peel laser, radio frequency microneedling, skin pen, chemical peels. It’s a commitment and journey for sure!! I get Botox and filler as well. Not as much filler now though. Maybe once a year or year and a half. Thank you for your sweet comment. I do appreciate it. Xoxo, Leigh
Thanks! I think it’s worth it… you are beautiful and we gotta enjoy life while we are here!! Thanks so much for sharing your journey as it’s so inspiring!!!
