Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 - a while ago I remember you posting that you were going back for a photoderm touch up after a year since your regular treatment sessions and I was wondering if you did that and how it turned out.Would love to hear how you are doing especially since you gave me such support when I started my treatments.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 Hi -- Hope you are well! I actually have not returned for an annual touch-up. Things seem to be holding steady, so I keep pushing the envelope to see how long I can go. I think the increased redness I had begun to notice was more a result of inflammation. I wasn't flushing, but my cheeks were looking pinker than they had been since photoderm. Lately, I've done a few new things: Begun taking digestive enzymes (in between meals, as an anti-inflammatory) as well as a horse chestnut blend; begun using emu oil to moisturize; and begun receiving acupuncture. The redness has subsided, as well as the inflammation. My cheeks were also looking and feeling a little swollen, and that likewise has subsided. Interestingly, around the time that I noticed a recurrence of these symptoms, I also began to experience the return of some pretty significant constipation. My skin always seems to follow my colon! Acupuncture and being more conscious about my water and fiber intake has helped in that department--aloe juice has also been beneficial. I hesitated about returning for photoderm because, since I wasn't having any more flushing, I figured there was another reason for the changes I was noticing. I may have additional PD sessions in the future, and if so, I will certainly keep the group posted. Take care and best of luck to you! --- jbowles31ca@... wrote: > - a while ago I remember you posting that you > were going back > for a photoderm touch up after a year since your > regular treatment > sessions and I was wondering if you did that and how > it turned > out.Would love to hear how you are doing especially > since you gave me > such support when I started my treatments.
