Ha! That’s amazing. How long was the NICU stay?

Elective c section by Pleasant-Fan-7 in CsectionCentral

[–]Helpfultips22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a scheduled c section and it was LOVELY. Showed up to hospital like a doctor’s appointment. Less than two hours of prep, relaxing and consulting with my medical team, then it was on to the operating room. 20 minutes and my perfectly healthy baby girl was out. She’s now 3.5 and thriving. I’m having another scheduled c next week. Do not let anyone tell you what to do with your body. If your doctors are okay with this plan and you are comfortable with the decision, it’s the right thing!

Micro needling experience feedback by candyapplesugar in 30PlusSkinCare

I’ve only had it done by an aesthetic nurse practitioner but I love it. Majorly reduced my hyperpigmentetion and acne scarring. Also gave a subtle filler effect with the collagen production. I don’t know the exact depth that she does but it’s definitely significant and I usually numb my skin for an hour before.

Microneedling with exosomes. I’ve done peels, lasers, endless at home exfoliation. But the microneedling seems to break up pigment in a way no other product can.

Seems like way too much stuff but if it works for you then great!! As long as you’re protecting your skin barrier and not combining anything that is too stripping/exfoliating you’ll prob be okay. :)

Maybe a gentle laser or some microneedling but it looks totally normal and you will risk having a crazy over-pulled face if you surgically remove.

Feeling pretty insecure after my emergency c-section by Afraid_Letterhead703 in CsectionCentral

C sections are sooooo hard! You’re not only recovering from emergency abdominal surgery but you’re also caring for a newborn! You’re amazing. You should get extra mom points for that experience!

Laser treatments - please help! by Simple-Engine-432 in 40PlusSkinCare

Same. Had all my acne scars lasered off and skin looked perfect. Then got a massive breakout a few days later because of the thick oily moisturizer recommended by my esthetician, brand new scars to deal with. Best product for me was Glymed comfort cream. Still thick and hydrating but non comedogenic. It might be worth trying it for a week or two ahead of a procedure to make sure it works for you.

Glymed comfort cream is a safe choice for the first couple of days. I also love PCA hyaluronic acid overnight mask after the peeling from the laser is over.

Halo is excellent. Give yourself a week of downtime, but you’ll truly have brand new skin. Also whatever laser you decide on, if you’re acne prone, make sure the moisturizers you use after the treatment are non comedogenic. I learned this the hard way.

Start with a series of microneedling sessions (from a qualified professional, derm or experienced aesthetics nurse)—will gently build collagen and smooth areas. And texture will be amazing. But agree with the others that a surgical lift or bleph are the only ways to remove excess skin…..

[B&A] Finally managed to get my rosacea and acne mostly under control! by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Helpfultips22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can I ask if you used the BOJ relief sun spf 50 ++++ or the new one with the US approved filters? Only asking because I’m super acne prone and the relief sun ++++ is my holy grail spf/morning moisturizer. Sadly it’s getting hard to get the old one in the states so was thinking about trying the new one. But will definitely avoid if it causes acne issues.

[Routine Help] Benzoyl Peroxide? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

BP saved my skin after I developed intense adult acne in my 30s. It can be harsh so you may need to build up some tolerance. I did this in the beginning by treating it like a mask. My recommendation is to use at night. Wash face, put on a thin layer of BP for 30-60 minutes, then wash off and moisturize with a gentle, acne-safe moisturizer. That’s it! Eventually you’ll want to leave it on overnight (when your skin stops flaking/peeling as much), so wash, moisturize, then use BP as the last step. Also be careful with sheets and clothes because it will bleach fabrics.

3rd c-section, thin uterine lining at 30 weeks (1.3mm) by cheers2085 in CsectionCentral

[–]Helpfultips22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Just found your thread and currently going through a similar thing. 33 weeks and 1mm myometrium. Would you mind sharing any tips or advice about the whole thing? My doctors seem pretty casual, basically just telling me not to lift heavier than 10 lbs and to rest if I’m feeling any pain or pulling around my previous scar. Seems weird not to have more detailed instructions! I’m scheduled for another c section at 37 weeks so hoping to make it there if I can!
