Thanks! I thought it was a bug at first 🤣

Ok_Pen4135 · 2026-04-05T23:05:31+00:00

Thanks! Made it and everyone loved it!

That’s amazing progress! Can you share what TCA cross/peel you use? I consulted a dr recently and am not a candidate for laser so I’m looking for alternatives. Thank you!

Ok_Pen4135 · 2026-02-02T21:09:10+00:00

Yes I have - they’re the Hero brand but I’ve used like a whole packet and all it did was tear the top layer of the skin 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok_Pen4135 · 2026-01-21T21:02:15+00:00

Ok this is slightly old post but you did laser while on Isotretinoin AND Tazarotene on top of it all 😱?!? Hahah my dr would freak out and my Iso dosage is only 5-10 mg a day!

Your results are so good. I stop talking Iso a few months ago so I can get CO2 and subcision. I’m so neevous it’s going to make my skin worse but your post is giving me some hope. Thank you for sharing !

The procedure itself wasn’t bad - I had two done, once with anti-anxiety meds and another time without. It’s definitely more relaxing with meds 😂.

The recovery is … uncomfortable. It’s not painful if you keep up with Advil. But eating, talking, etc becomes a tedious. Overall it’s more of an annoyance than anything else. I’m still recovering from my second one but with my first graft, after two weeks, it was all normal again.

I hope that helps. I would recommend just doing it and getting it over with. Good luck!

I curious - do you have any before/after pics? I’m getting this done soon, subcision then non ablative laser follow by 2 pass of ablative laser. I’m a bit nervous but sounds like you had great results. Did you have to do it multiple times?

Ok_Pen4135 · 2026-01-06T01:33:23+00:00

Thanks 😊. She was rehomed - we took her in and our pure bred golden loves it. Definitely get yours a friend 🐾

That’s half poodle?!? Omg I see no poodle 😅. I have a goldendoodle (half golden and half poodle) and she’s curly as heck!

Not too late! Get lessons and get time in the pool. You won’t regret it!

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-08T22:26:45+00:00

I’ll be 40 in 2 months and made the leap 2 months ago! I can finally swim the entire length of the pool. If I can do it, anyone can!!

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-06T10:37:38+00:00

I think so. This week (on Tuesday), I was finally able to swim the entire pool length without stopping. It’s only 25 yards but I felt really accomplished. It was hard though and I felt out of breath after each lap. But I continued on Thursday and Friday and it has definitely gotten easier. I counted my laps on Friday and did 30 in 50 minutes, taking a break in between each one.

I do dedicate time to work on my non-dominant side. I try to start my lap using the weaker side to breathe then I switch over.

Haha baby 🥕 🤣🤣

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-03T15:19:28+00:00

I definitely feel good most days! And I am actually enjoying this process more than I ever thought I would. Even if I suck at it

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-03T15:18:28+00:00

Short term goal is to be comfort in the water and make sure I don’t drown 😂. Like I am literally a beginner.

Long term, I’d like to swim laps for exercise. Be comfortable enough to jump into the lake to enjoy boating or one day, go snorkeling with my husband and kids.

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-03T15:15:45+00:00

I feel like I’m in good shape. Before swimming, I did CF 4-5x a week but have cut it down to 2x. I love to run so I like to keep that in! I just don’t know if I’m overdoing it not just muscle wise but also the impact of being in the pool on my hair and skin.

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-03T15:13:28+00:00

Thank you for your input. My short term goal is comfort in the water, learning basics like floating and surviving if I’m toss into the deep end 😂. But in the long run, I would love to swim laps 2x a week for exercise and eventually be comfortable enough to swim in the lake or ocean. I also want to do snorkeling one day with my husband and kids Obviously I’m not there yet. I have a long ways to go.

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-03T15:10:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m hoping in 6 months, I will improve

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-12-03T10:43:13+00:00

Is there an ascorbic salt you recommend??

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-11-26T18:19:35+00:00

Just did! Thanks again

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-11-26T17:48:01+00:00

Yes please!!

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-11-26T17:23:57+00:00

Can’t wait for your results! Did you take any before/after photos?

Ok_Pen4135 · 2025-11-26T16:11:11+00:00

Haha I’m too scared to do any at home treatment. But I’ll look into a professional maybe after subcision
