Has anyone used this therapy? It's for lifting and tightening your skin. I'm 65 and want to look better in the photos at my son's wedding. It's non-invasive and goes through the first 3 layers to stimulate collagen. Thanks everybody

I have had two laser peels and one round of blue light therapy. They were for precancerous lesions but it made my skin feel amazing. If it’s what I had, you will peel and burn easily for a week so you need to cover up and stay out of the light. Once the dead skin peels off it is great. Don’t watch the YouTube videos about it - there are a bunch of not so bright people who film their gross peeling red skin

Thanks, Iwasborntodothis. I really hesitated to ask this question but so glad I did. Thanks, too, for the info about burning, I hadn’t thought about that. Hope you’re doing well. Melinda

Even though done by dermatologist in her office Insurance would not cover and it was $1,000 per treatment FYI

I had two of three treatments as Nd really did not find much difference with my face being tighter. My daughter said my skin looked good but that was it. And it was very expensive. For me not worth it. In pics make sure your chin is forward and down a bit almost like stretching the back of your neck. Eyes open wide and talk to camera fir best shots. Also there are skin brighteners that you can mix with face creams that make a big difference. Good luck!
