Well, that was not what I expected. I just got home from my first facial appointment. $500 in face wash later, I'm more than overwhelmed. 5 high-gloss brochures now cover my dining room table. All labeled with Laser this or Peel that in the title. All of which I'm scheduled to do. DO WHAT NOW? Yikes, so the biggest and scariest laser of all is called the Pearl. Sounds sweet enough, like afternoon tea with your grandma. If afternoon tea involved sticking your face into the burning tea and watching it peel off of your face!!
So, the beautiful, and flawless skinned attendant who walked me through all of my treatments want me to try them all. Why not, right?!?! They are free and in no way EVER again would I have the chance or money to do this, so why not. This seems like the right mindset and the way I was thinking until I got to thinking about this procedure.
For starters, it takes 45 minutes to numb your face before they begin..... Okay, that's alright. Then an hour of lasers burning your face. Okay, they said mild pain, I can handle that. I had a baby, I can deal with pain.... Right? Then your face turns white and becomes crazy unbearably hot and uncomfortable. Only to turn red and painful... On the plus side, it sounds like this only lasts for a few days. Wait, what?!?! To keep your face moist, you need to rub Vaseline like lotion on your face all the time. In just a few short 5 days or so, your face will peel off the skin to show a perfectly smooth, pearl like glow. Okay, that I can do; but the bright red, lotion-ed up face that slowly slides skin off of my face.... That I don't know if I can do. The upside.... Halloween is coming. I guess a flesh-eating zombie it is for me this year.
So, after all that do I do it?.... Hell yeah, and here is why. You only live once and if I don't take 100% of this opportunity, I'm cheating myself and will regret it later.
So, for those of you that will have the pleasure of seeing me after this pleasant event, PLEASE No pictures and I apologize upfront if my face starts to fall off on you!
Kisses
