IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

 Well I just wrapped up another injectable treatment regime. As I've stated before Curenex Rejuvenating Solution was an easy product to inject. A thin product that was not painful. I also loved that there was 5 ml to play with. As before, I began by injecting my lips first because I find it the most uncomfortable area to puncture with a needle. FYI, an ice roller makes a huge difference in reducing the level of discomfort. I then went ahead with the BAP mapping starting at the modified forehead injection points being between the brows and 2 halfway up my forehead using my pupils as guides. There is only a thin layer of flesh on the forehead which makes injecting another pinchy place so I like to get this done early on in the procedure. I was careful to not be heavy handed so had plenty of product leftover to treat not only my under eyes, but another 2 spots above my jaw and above the spot between my brows.  A quick procedure not even taking 30 minutes, factoring in the need to...

 I probably should have a better plan mapped out when treating my skin with threads, but I often decide on the day where I'm actually going to place the threads. This treatment was a little harder to choose because I wanted to treat my labionasal folds, however decided against it after realising that I would be inserting threads that would overlap with the cheek threads I had last treated with threads. I would prefer to let areas have time to heal for at least a month before creating trauma in that same area. I scrapped my plan of using 27g by 38 mm PCL threads and instead treated under my chin using  29g by 25 mm PDO screw threads . I placed them fairly close together and after losing one thread when removing the protective cap, I put in 19 threads just under the chin. After I buy more threads I do plan to treat under my jaw to reduce sagging in these areas. I did cause a small bruise under my chin, other than that this treatment did go well.

 I'm at the penultimate round of Curenex Rejuvenating Solution, just one more to go. At the risk of annoying you by continuing to repeat myself, I used the BAP mapping plus some extra injection points in lips, under eyes and forehead. Apparently I had not learned my lesson with portion control, because I only had 0.5 of a ml left over for under my eyes. I went ahead and used 0.25 ml on each side near my orbital bone using the pupil of my eye as a guide. Having 5 ml of product to play with tends to make me heavy handed with the amount I inject, that and the ease of injecting a treatment with a thin consistency that doesn't cause a sting. I didn't have the amount I wanted to inject under my eyes, but I was glad that I at least had some. That's because under my eyes is a problem area for me with the creasing, dark circles and dehydration.  Next month I will have my final thoughts of Curenex Rejuvenating Solution.                   ...

 Not wanting to sanitise my skin and risk damage, I chose not to do any invasive treatments this week. Instead, I'll just give you an update of where my skin is at a week after doing my first ever chemical peel. I used the retinol based Simildiet Yellow Peel from Promesse Filler. With a lot of peeling happening over the last few days, that annoying tightness is becoming less noticeable. My biggest problem now is the impatience to unveil my new skin with the increasing temptation to peel off the dead skin. I will admit to very gently tugging only until there's resistance, then I use a small pair of scissors to trim off the excess. I have been diligent to apply a balm during the day, then slathering on spf and trying to avoid the sun when I can. At night I've been using a layer of vitamin E oil, then glycerin just to keep my skin moisturised. Knowing that my skin continues to peel especially overnight (I assume because of my movements while asleep) I must admit to looking for...
