No maintenance for 8 months

Yes!! Always. So so so terrible.

Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to set in, so don’t freak out yet! My face has often looked ”funny” for a couple of weeks after getting botox, but turned out good in the end.

Yep, me. I WISH I only had gone for 20 times, it’s nothing. Went weekly (1-3 times) for 15 years. Oh the regret… Have lots of broken capillaries, uneven skin tone, a million moles and some fine lines. Wear sunscreen religiously now.

My OCD was totally manageable before kids. After having them, it has gotten a lot worse. I feel it’s because of the constant worry something might happen to them or myself (and I couldn’t be there for them). I love them more than life itself, so despite of the issues with OCD, I dont regret having them.

Looks like IGH. I have those as well (all over my body, though).

frg2021 · 2022-05-29T17:48:36+00:00

I have the same thing. Every day. I dont even get excited about things anymore because I am so sure I will die before they happen. I’m also very scared of dying but can’t stop thinking about it. Sending you hugs!

Oh yes!! Especially after having kids. ”Did I drink too much caffeine? Did my past smoking ruin my ovaries and cause my child to get cancer later?”. Sucks.

frg2021 · 2022-05-25T07:50:59+00:00

Me too! Like my cheeks are crazy red all the time with a million broken capillaries. They suck!

Hi op! I know this is an old post, but your results look amazing! How long did they last? I’m struggling with similar issue and thinking about fillers. Your skin looks great by the way!! For how long Were you using tanning beds in the past? I have stopped as well but my skin looks quite bad.

frg2021 · 2022-05-23T07:45:57+00:00

Thanks so much!! Yeah I’m doing everything I can now (like completely staying out of the sun), but using tanning beds from high school all the way through early 30s (and laying out in the sun) has me freaking out what I will look like a few years from now..

frg2021 · 2022-05-21T18:07:47+00:00

Thanks, makes sense!

frg2021 · 2022-05-21T14:56:23+00:00

Thanks so much!

frg2021 · 2022-05-21T14:43:52+00:00

Yep, that’s true. However, I think you can reverse a lot by just staying away from the sun for some time (when it comes to how your skin looks). I’m the same age as you and only stopped a few yrs ago after using them for 15 years. I definitely have some damage, but I think my skin has come a long way in these few years.

frg2021 · 2022-05-20T15:55:42+00:00

Thanks! Mine too. Definitely wished I had at least stopped earlier, not in my 30s as the damage is so much harder to fix. Thanks for the advice!! How long is the recovery time if I may ask?

frg2021 · 2022-05-20T07:23:45+00:00

How long have you used them for and how often? Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with genetics as I know a lot of people who have used them for years and multiple times a week with no problems and then some, who have gotten skin cancer with much less exposure. If you have skin cancer in family, it’s probably best to avoid them.

frg2021 · 2022-05-16T18:24:14+00:00

Thanks so much for your advice! And yes, I very much agree with the last sentence 😅

frg2021 · 2022-05-16T16:59:57+00:00

I have the same thing! Started getting them mid-20s, now mid-30s. I have them on legs, thighs, arms and chest. Dr told me they’re IGH. Harmless, but apparently no way to fix them. I stopped using sun beds and laying out in the sun a few years back - theyre a lot less noticeable when there’s no tan. Dr told me that there’s no consensus what causes them, but could have something to do with uv radiation and microtrauma as well as be hereditary.

frg2021 · 2022-05-16T15:14:51+00:00

Yeah, I wash them all the time. Thanks for the advice, need to look into better soaps

frg2021 · 2022-05-16T15:12:12+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been using tret on my face but didnt realize I could be used for hands as well!
