Clearlift -Westland

It has only been a few days since my procedure.A friend of mine told me about a special that was going on The price seemed unbelievable and I felt leary.After speaking with the asnetician she put me at ease and I decided to proceed with the clearlift procedure.On all of the reviews i read they all shared that it was no pain and was very comfortable.Well,My experience was a bit uncomfy. I felt heat. I did tell her and she stated that she could turn it down if I wanted her to but that she did not want to and that the level she had it on would be fine.Well,I trusted her knowlege and went along.
I am a 50 year old aArican American with a dark skin tone.Immediately afterwards my face looked swollen.I was told it was the collagen doing it's thing.She put some kind of treatment products on my face and told me to leave on for about 8 hours.The next day i was to resume my normal routine which I have.Today is day 4 and my feelings are very mixed.I regret not having her turn the level down because now I'm stressing over if I'm going to have issues as a result.Plus,darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation from injury to the skin.I read too many reviews to think that the more heat the better.The big deal with this clearlift is that it's non-ablative meaning resuts without injury nor discomfort.My face tingles which of course I wonder now if it is a good sign or a bad sign.It looks primarily the same except I think I'm beginning to see my skin getting darker.I went in ther with a clear pretty skin tone.I was using the procedure as a proactive attempt at fighting the aging process.Of course I want my collagen to be stimulated to increase volume on an on going basis.I wonder now if I made a big mistake.I will keep you all posted weekly.All who believe in prayer send some up for Onnica.Thank you.

Hi All.Today is day #8 after my clearlift procedure.I am still satisfied with all the unexpected extras that have taken place.I remain hopeful that I will have the increase in volume that I desire.My A wanted me to return in 2 weeks but every source of formation that I have read says 3-4 weeks so I plan to make my Appt for 4 weeks.She said I only need one more so I am looking forward to it.She will also do it with a TCA peel which I have read really work well together as bringing forth good results.I believe I am having hyperpigmentation from having the lazer on a higher setting so make sure if you have this Lazer have your A or whomever use the manufacturers recommended setting.Less is sometimes more.The hyperpigmentation could last 4 months!Im just glad it won't be permenant.I am countering the lazer affect by using hydrogen peroxide twice a day for a natural bleaching affect.Im hopin it will not bleach so much as cause progressive hyperpigmentation to cease or not be noticeable.Hope this helps someone.

Hi All.Not much has changed since my last update.Today is the 9th day.I'm using the peroxide on my face daily hoping it will prevent any more hyperpigmentation caused by the laser.I will go for another appointment in a month.She said I only needed two.I'm really glad i did not tell my husband about the procedure I had done. He would surely believe I threw away my money.The only change he has noticed is the change of color of my facial hairs.I remain hopeful.
