I'm just going to wipe off
my face
all my moisturizer
this morning
so there is a bare
naked face
for this video. hi everyone and welcome back
today I'm going to do a follow-up on the
I P L and silk peel video that I posted a couple weeks ago
it spent several weeks since i had that procedure probably
say about three weeks
I have a little bit of footage that i'm gonna insert a little bit later on
from a day or two after the procedure
see could see full bloom what my face looks like
and I will wrap up by telling you
I my thoughts about this and
moving forward so just as a reminder for what I
did I had I an
a start off with a silk peel which was
it's like a microdermabrasion
treatment and that happened all over my face and what that does is it came to
have
sloughs off the top layer of skin
any its enhances the look and texture of your skin
I really do feel like it did that the
second procedure I had was a spot treatment
with a IPL intense pulse light laser
and I had a little spot I here treated
and primarily some broken capillaries around my nose
so I'm gonna start by inserting
the footage that I took and I don't recall now without looking at the
footage
it was probably a day or two after
the procedure was done and everything on my face that was touched
is pretty apparent so it is the day after
and I didn't anticipate filming anymore
but this spot here has really changed quite a bit
and I wanted to share that with you so
I'm gonna go ahead and get in a little closer I also have a lot of redness here
where she zapped those capillaries let me go ahead and zoom in
this spot really got a lot darker and I think that's fairly typical
I after I P L that on
areas that you treat it will bring
pigmentation to the surface and make it darker
and then that will either slough off
or recede
and be even lighter than before so it's one of those things where you look a little worse
before a little better
I hope and it
looks like it might have a little bit blistering but I have quite a bit of
redness here
where I had all those broken capillaries so I'm going to zoom in
and let you see how my face looks today so this is the
area that I had treated with the I P L it was a pretty dark
spot on my face there
that was really very quite difficult to even cover with
foundation or concealer
I noticed it quite a bit I'm sure not everybody else did
but it did really bother me quite a bit and the other areas I had done
where these here around my nose
and I still have quite a bit of redness there
now but I primarily had
wanted to see if I could improve the way the broken capillaries look
around my nose let me get little tighter for that
so I to think that right here this
area is improved a little bit I'm not sure here
or on the sides of my nose are vastly improved
she did say it might take more than one treatment
so I'll have to decide if that's something
I what to do or not so I would say
after the treatment the next day
this spot here
really bloomed
it got some darker areas
on it and that's part of the process that turns
dark and then eventually that either
sloughs off or fades away
I'm not really sure which it was it always felt like skin it never felt like
a scrab
but it became very discolored
it probably wasn't terribly noticeable with
makeup on a coworker
who has had I P L done before noticed right away that that's what I
had done but no one else mentioned it if they noticed
they didn't say anything so I do think it was a little bit noticeable and
I had filmed a couple videos during that time so you might
actually be able to tell which ones those are
but you know life goes on you know its just
part of the healing process that took about
almost exactly one week for that to go full circle from
treatment day to you the spots coming out
to them sloughing and fading off and then they were gone
so that took about a week
these areas here around my nose took
considerably longer and when she treated those areas
she did increase the intensity of the light
and I could tell it was much stronger and I think that may have mentioned
in my first video that
you know I could smell something burning and she said oh that's the little hairs
on your face a lot of people notice that
it's kind of a byproduct of having the treatment
I actually think that I got burned
a little bit because I ended up developing some blisters
a pretty big one over here a
smaller one over here it took quite a long time to heal
and I ended up
at some point I was starting to get worried about them
because it was over a week
and I started putting a little Neosporin on them at night
and that really helped turn them around very quickly
so once those blisters healed then some of the redness has subsided I would
say the redness has decreased by about 50 percent
so I'm hoping that the general redness I see around my nose will continue to
improve
so when I go back to you see her I will ask her about that
a little bit more and get more information about that because
I don't know if that's typical or not typical
and how many treatments she think it might take to
totally eradicate the capillaries
or even if it's possible so
probably the next burning question you all have
is
what are my plans moving forward for
additional treatments and additional options so
first off I'm gonna talk about about the botox that I mentioned
at this point and probably not going to proceed with the botox
I might later on I just
I need to think about it a little bit longer and I want to see
in I can improve
those fine lines with
some retin A treatment I think I feel slightly more comfortable with
that avenue first
and as far as the silk peel
I really liked that I really thought
it made my skin
look it really I felt it really had
good impact on the texture of my skin it wasn't
invasive at all it wasn't painful at all
just a little strange feeling like you know that
cat extra scratchy tongue vacuuming you at the same time
so I didn't mind that procedure as much
and I felt like I that there
there could be additional benefits there and when I look at before and
after pictures are people who've had that
you know several treatments over course months
their results are pretty dramatic and so I'm willing to
commit to doing that
for the next couple of months
