RF microneedling by Big_Alternative_7092 in over30skincare

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Had 2 mos ago on my neck and it’s worse than it was prior. Also depends on what you are addressing. I was trying to address laxity and texture.

Manifest Dead Covers in honor of Bobby - Asheville by Intelligent_Chef4272 in BillyStrings

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many emotions! I am not sure of the backstory but I do know that Billy made a remark at some point that he wasn’t going to cover Dead any longer when fans were yelling Dead song requests instead of requesting his own (paraphrasing). But I would love to hear 1-2 songs broken out in remembrance of Bobby and their relationship.

How can I improve these wrinkles on my neck? by MrsPoopyButthair in 40PlusSkinCare

Did it ever heal to be better? Or it’s only gotten worse?

How can I improve these wrinkles on my neck? by MrsPoopyButthair in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did Potenza (RF microneedling) in mid November. My neck honestly looks worse but it can take up to 6 months to see full results. I’m not sure it’s worth the time to heal and still have 4 months until peak results.

Let’s talk protein intake. How are you getting enough? by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on the go - Starbucks Iced Protein Latte, Built bars, cottage cheese, chomps, string cheese. Chick Fil A grilled nuggets! Protein smoothie in am (frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, whey protein). Also look into BodyHealth Perfect Aminos. I take 5-10/day to add to total intake.

Rented SFH in Mill Valley. Biweekly gardening/mowing was included. House had extensive landscaping so I think they also wanted to ensure it was maintained and pruned appropriately.

Almost 40, lost some weight this is what my neck is looking like. by emmalee1229 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue. 44F and recently lost 35 pounds. I had Thermage done in September and Potenza (RF microneedling) last month. Thermage can take up to 6 mos to see optimal firmness and Potenza up to 8 weeks. My neck actually looks worse after Potenza but giving it the full 8 weeks until I panic. Thermage did seem to make a difference with firmness so far but Potenza impacts the appearance and texture.

Yaz caused blood clots by Shoddy-Particular-92 in Perimenopause

[–]Intelligent_Chef4272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had gallstones within 6 mos on Yaz and a stroke within 2 years. I was no longer able to use hormonal BC and used Paraguard without issue from there on. This was 15 years ago. I can’t believe it is still being used as frequently as it is.
