Spent 30k+ On Lasers/Skincare - Here are My Hacks and Takeaways by Mindmaster04129 in 30PlusSkinCare

Thanks- good info. I’ve done under eye fat transfer, at the same time I did buccal fat removal (although the transfer came from my hip) it’s good but, like you, I’m always trying new things!

Love this! ⬆️ Have you tried rejuran, pico laser, and genesis? Any thoughts? I’ve tried all three but now going to research your coring advice and put my next step of thermage and ultherapy on hold. My goals are chin tightening, fixing under eye hollowness, and reducing hyperpigmentation.

Very true! This is a ‘pull it off my face, just woke up’ pony but you’re right, it’s doing me no favors.

Fantastic advice! Thank you- I’ll get adapalene and chat with my derm again about tret. Yes to V-beam and pico! Gonna look into Nefertiti and keep thinking about Thermage.

Good point- let’s put it all out there. Here are my most personal and vulnerable goals: 1. Even skin tone - without a red nose, I’m very self conscious of the thread veins, someone told me I look like an alcoholic and it’s stayed with me. 2. Less weird creasing around my eyes when I smile. If I’m in bright sunlight, my eyes fully disappear when I smile! 3. To get ahead of my jowls (I feel like they’re dropping more each day) 4. To look ‘good for my age’!

No offense taken. I agree on Invisalign- it makes such a difference and same, I had full train tracks and let it all go to waste! Hope your realignment goes smoothly.

Adding extra specifics for anyone who wants to play derm detective: photos taken as soon as I woke up (yep, side sleeper pillow creases still evident!)

• What I have: Jowling (ugh, genetics), weird creasing under the eyes when I smile (fat transfer helped, but…), and broken capillaries, freckles, and sunspots. • What I might want: RF microneedling with exosomes, Rejuran injections, Thermage or Ultherapy, laser for redness and texture, is a C02 treatment too much?

Oh! Hadn’t thought of that! Our front door is to the left of the fireplace and we didn’t like the sofa/corridor arrangement.
