Ematrix - 4 treatments on my face

End of 2013 and I went for another treatment. I had the highest setting all over my face and jaw line, but lower around the eyes where I feel the zing. It only hurts for a second, and I told the nurse I didn't mind; I want the result from a deeper treatment. Because I've had a series of these I now heal fast. I had a Friday treatment. Saturday I covered with foundation. I looked a little rough, but could pass at work and even had a short conversation with my brother who noticed nothing. I don't usually wear foundation, but the most anybody would wonder is why I'm wearing it. Sunday morning all the redness is covered with light makeup. It will be scaley thru this friday, and then my skin will be fresh. I love this treatment.

I looked fine in 24 hours, but I had rough, scaly skin for a week. It's so hard to wait a week to exfoliate, but I slathered on moisturizer and did so. My skin feels great now. I still have my crows feet and wrinkles, but I think I look better around the eyes, and my face looks so smooth. The half treatment on my hands is taking longer. I still see some pinpoint scabs. It was the first time I treated the backs of my hands, so this probably isn't surprising.

It has been over a year since I had an ematrix treatment, but I bought another package of 4 facial treatments. It was around $1000 for the package of 4 treatments. Each treatment is 200 pulses. I had the first of the 4 treatments on Friday afternoon. It was the same level as the last treatment (B, I think), but I didn't want to increase the level because it had been a while. On Saturday morning I can already cover with a little foundation. With makeup I look a little puffy, feel fine. It's nothing I cant attribute to insomnia and too much sun last weekend. I had some numbing cream applied beforehand, and I found out that almost nobody uses it at the office where I go. I guess I'm a wuss. The pulses around my eyes hurt, only for a second, but OUCH. That's where I most want a result, though, so it's worth it.

I also tried a half treatment on the back of my hands, the first time I've done that. The hands look worse than my face. I'm hoping to increase collagen so that when I'm older I won't have crepey skin that tears easily. Both my parents near age 80 have this.
