Autumn, my favorite season, has finally arrived! It’s so beautiful with its changing leaves and festive decorations. With Halloween right around the corner, there are plenty of parties to attend. I love being out and about with friends and family. And of course, I want to look my best when doing so.
That’s where the team at Dr. J. J. Wendel Plastic Surgery comes in. Fall is always the time when I stop and take stock of changes. After being outdoors so much all summer, I can see traces of sun damage and new fine lines. Even though I’m careful when it comes to prevention, I know that good medical aesthetics can help me look more well-rested and youthful: more like the self I’m used to seeing in the mirror.
When I called Dr. Wendel’s office, I didn’t have any specific solution in mind. I just wanted to look refreshed and ready to impress. I know Dr. Wendel’s team stays up-to-date on all the latest developments in advanced skincare. But what would be best for my unique needs? PRP injections? More laser treatments? Nurse practitioners Lori Lankford and Paige Hastings are some of the best in the business. They are experts when it comes to fillers, and they know everything there is to know about effective wrinkle treatments, too.
I ended up scheduling a free VISIA skin analysis. VISIA technology quantifies all the little things we notice as we age. It measures UV damage, texture, oil and bacteria levels, among other things. Then the system scores your skin, and the percentage lets you know how you compare to others in your age range.
The VISIA breakdown was a great way to see where I’m doing well, and where I can use some improvement. After this in-depth consultation, I knew what issues I needed to tackle first. I set up a session with a certified laser technician. She’s a total pro, and gives great skincare advice, too.
Now I feel as fresh and cool as an autumn breeze. I’m confident and comforted knowing that I’m taking good care of my skin as it changes. This Halloween, I’ll be out there looking my best. No scary wrinkles or spots for me!
