My First Cosmetic Procedure

I made a visit to the dermatologist this morning for my first of five Isalaz procedures. Basically it's supposed to cure/clear my acne. They wet your face then begin to use this laser/vacuum tool that sucks and zaps at the same time. Does it sound unpleasant? That's because it is. Not painful, but not enjoyable either. Hopefully it will work and I'll be a beauty queen by Christmas. :) lol At one point during the procedure I started laughing and asked, "Is it a good thing when you smell the flesh burning off your face". The technician just laughed a sinister type laugh (or maybe I imagined that part). I took a before picture. If there's a noticable difference I'll post after pictures. I expected pimples and I expected wrinkles...just not at the same time.

I feel your pain--well, not literally, but I too have zits and wrinkles at the same time. When will this stupid puberty be over!? I'm with gm though, you are beautiful already but if this procedure makes you feel better, than I'm all for it and I hope it totally works!

I think you're forgeting that you've always been a beautiful supermodel -remember the alligator photo? But even way beyond that - you've always been beautiful to me!

Psst...can I get the name of your plastic surgeon??

Also - in reading all this blogging again - it makes me miss doing it - so I may have to start this back up on my blog if they haven't written it off.

I've smelled that smell on almost every cruise; usually from my own nose and back.

Most importantly, honey you are beautiful each and every time I look at you--after 17+ years, I still want to ask you "do you like sports" every time I see you or as Joey on Friends would say "how you doin?"
