I'm 33... but have been dealing with lines around my mouth since college. Back then I tried Oil of Olay - just the lotion, nothing hard core - and it didn't do much. Nothing like being 21 and going to a club and feeling like everyone is staring at your old lady lines! I think it's partly genetics, I just happen to have the kind of cheek fat that migrates downwards young.
Since then I have tried this and that, thought I saw some progress, don't know if I really did. Lately I have started to really be bothered by lines on my forehead. I feel like it makes me look old and manly. And very recently I saw a picture of myself holding one of my girls and I about screamed. Yes I can blame bad lighting (I was in shadow) but still. I looked way too old and wrinkly for 33!!!
So I caved and bought this thing. I hemmed and hawed over getting the machine vs. trying the pads alone. I hemmed and hawed over getting THIS machine vs. the wave which is cheaper and seems like it will take the same refills. But the Wave only uses one battery whereas this takes 2 so I can only assume this is more powerful - and I need power.
After one use, I thought I saw a difference. After two, I KNOW I am seeing a difference. My forehead lines are now more in line with what other people my age have - I stare at facial lines when I talk to people, I try not to, but I can't help it! My smile lines seem a little better but it's hard to tell... I've gained some weight recently which I think might be plumping them up.
I was a little surprised that this thing just vibrates intensely, I thought it spun like a Crest toothbrush. Seems to work well though!
I know NOTHING is going to get rid of all the lines and I am OK with that. I would just like to look my age and not feel 10 years older.
I can't wait for the 3rd use to see how this goes. I really think it's made a huge difference. It's a little pricey, but nothing compared to more drastic measures like restalyne or botox.
One thing I have learned is to start at the bottom of your face and do the forehead last - as it does tend to slowly drip into the eyes. Doing the forehead last, you don't have to stop and mop up before moving on.Get more detail about Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti Aging Power Treatment Kit.
