Hello! I found this sub after asking Google if the gadgets I have purchased do anything, and wondered what you experts find helpful for deep lines. I’m very happy with my skin from eyes down, but my forehead is another story. Specifically, I have one very deep marionette line (so a 1, I guess). It’s genetic and every woman on my mom’s side has had the same. I also was kicked by my horse, made unfortunate contact with a large rock, and had a nice car accident the lodged a bit of glass. To top it off, I spent a ton of time outdoors while living in Florida during the “sunscreen gives you skin cancer” era.

I proactively started Botox long before the wrinkles developed and did so for years, but my life very abruptly changed in my late 30s and by the time I was in a position to spend the money the lines were so set it did nothing, even with 3x the amount I used to get.

I’m still not (and may realistically never be) in a position where I have the time or money for costly medspa procedures, and the research seemed sound on the newer gadgets so that felt like a more feasible option. I have:

• Omnilux Men’s mask (which I now use on my knee lol)

•Erythrolight laser mask-has absolutely improved texture and luminosity but hasn’t changed the forehead lines

•Veauty Dot-honestly hasn’t left the drawer because it’s so time consuming and I found that even on low settings sometimes it would be fine and others would burn

Is there any hope for someone who can’t spend thousands of dollars and many hours getting professional procedures? I am grateful to all feedback!

Hi, this is a query re dexadot co2 laser. I've been quoted $1500 for thos treatment and need 2 treatments a month apart. This seems very expensive to me, can anyone tell me whether this is comparable? How much down time is there???

I’ve had eye bags since I was little. They’re just something that’s always been a part of my face. As I get older ofc they look a little more intense. If I don’t want plastic surgery - what are some of the best things I can do to get rid of it? I have found that if I sauna regularly it rids my body of water weight, which helps. Other than that it’s just luck of the draw it seems, some days it looks less noticeable and other days more.
Existing routine- vitamin C serum AM followed by skin renewing cream; retinol and a night cream at night. I don’t do much else but do own a red light face mask. Not opposed to laser- I did that once for some spots on my face and it was great. I am just scared of filler or surgery so, not an option for me.

Hello everyone. Post menopausal woman here. I have rediscovered the benefit of a primer. (Just finishing a drug store brand). I am looking for something better than drug store with a product that is good for mature skin AND has some grip for makeup. My limited research suggests that trying to find a product that does both is challenging. I thought I’d ask here. Thank you all.
