Throughout my past five years or so in the beauty industry I’m always being offered free treatment from blow-outs to Botox and while I’ll almost always say yes to getting my hair done, I always say no to any sort of anti-aging procedure. Until recently…
I received an email from a friend at a PR firm that read –
“Pellevé, the newest technology in skin rejuvenation & tightening, gently giving consumers a more youthful appearance with virtually no pain or downtime…. It feels like a warm massage!”
Skeptical, because I’ve heard of the “lunch time facial” that was a laser that was supposed to make you look rejuvenated in a half hour with no downtime and really left you looking like you got a really bad sun burn, I asked the PR girl a few questions and decided to book a treatment. After all, I am 27 and the fine lines are there!
After making sure I’d be in the hands of a derm or a plastic surgeon I went uptown to Dr. Paul Lorenc‘s office on Park Ave and was greeted by Carissa. Sure enough, after a gel was applied to my face, it felt like a warm massage. I didn’t mind it at all. She rubbed a tool around my whole face, seperating it into four sections, top right and left and bottom right and left. It did get a little hot on my forehead and she lowered the temperature. The whole session took about 30 minutes and I instantly looked more youthful. It instantly plumped any fine lines (she concentrated on my crows feet, forehead lines and smile lines). However, the instant plumping is just a sweet side effect.
The real results will show over time. Over the next three months collagen will be building underneath my skin resulting in a more youthful complexion. Considering the fact I’m still young with minimal fine lines and wrinkles, it’s great that I started now to be ahead of the game. It’s easier to prevent than it is to correct. This treatment can be done several times a year in conjuction with your daily regimen to keep you looking refreshed and keep the collagen building underneath your skin.
In NYC, a full face treatment costs about $1,000, but some clients break it up and just concentrate on the bottom or top half of their faces for less.
Most importantly, each patient’s effective dose is delivered every time, read ” it works.”
Truly painless. True wrinkle improvement.
For a nose job you want to wait until your face has finished its growth. In general that will be around 14 for females. Your doctor would continue to measure your height over time, and if you haven’t grown in a while, you are probably done growing.
Okay I’m huge fan of collagen, specifically collagen cream, have used it for quite a while and will certainly say it works. If you’ve chosen the proper solution of course. Don’t assume all products available on the market are real or worth the cost. Search for stuff with greater concentration of pure collagen.
