Fraxel Restore in my Forties; Aging Gracefully - Santa Rosa, CA

Six month update- when I first posted my initial blog back in June 2012, many of the naysayers said " let me know what you think after six month, your face will show increased signs of aging, you'll be very disappointed you did it" WRONG!!!!! I have documented my progress with many before and after photos and I couldn't be more happier. My face looks great! In fact, someone I met for the fist time told me I didn't look old enough to have an 18 year old child. YAY!!!!! The only change I have made to my morning/evening routine is an additional serum that has Retinal. With summer upon us, everyone needs to be very diligent about wearing sunscreen. I'm an addict now and won't leave the house without applying, even if I'm just running a quick errand.
Happy Summer to All!

Happy New Year! It has been almost three months since my final fraxel. The same question arises time and again. Was it worth it?
My skin is definitely different. I no longer have pronounced aged spots or discoloration. The texture of my skin is smoother, makeup seems to adhere better to my skin. I don't look as greasy after exercising. Pore's seem smaller. BUT, I still have scaring, less visible YES, completely gone NO. I would say I had a 30% change. To some of you, a 30% change might seem insignificant, but to me any improvement is worth it.

Last week I began using Obaji eye cream. Although it has only been one week, I am noticing a slight improvement with wrinkles and crepeness. I am also continuing with dermaplaning and facials every five weeks. To date, my skin has never looked better.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
