E.A. of Dana Point says:
“I have never really thought of myself as “old”. In fact, I feel just the same as I did when I graduated from college. The only problem is, I don’t look as young as I feel. Unfortunately, I used to go out into the sun a lot and now I have the sunspots & wrinkles (not to mention the “natural” wrinkles one gets when aging). It’s a vicious circle, because to cover the spots I have to wear way more makeup than I’d like – which only accentuates the wrinkles! Then there’s something else that makeup cannot hide and that’s the feeling that my skin is no longer attached to my face!! I assume the professional way to say that is that my skin is “sagging” (that seems to be a recurring trend with me!). My friends tell me that aging is a natural process and I should accept it gracefully. They also tried the “wrinkles give you character” line but I didn’t buy that one either. After one final look in the mirror, I decided that I wasn’t going to “grow old gracefully”, in fact, I am going to fight it every step of the way!

I went to my dermatologist – and was given Retin A as a treatment. After a few months – my skin was red and peeling and everything else was exactly the same (only now I had red, chapped skin too!). As you can imagine, I was getting more and more stressed out over my face.

Then, I heard about a well known aesthetics doctor located in OC - Dr. Adrian de la Torre at NeuImage Rejuvenation Center in Dana Point (he just opened a 2nd office in Coto de Caza). I made an appointment with him (which was complimentary). He recommended a series of Photofacial/laser treatments for my age spots, Botox for my “frown marks”, Restylane injections for my deeper wrinkles and Thermage for my sagging skin. I also asked about laser hair removal (I figured I was there, I might as well do it) and was glad to finally be rid of those 3 really irritating hairs on my chin and to never again have to shave my bikini and legs.

I’ll never forget my first treatment because I got such dramatic results. And now, my skin looks 10 years younger, my wrinkles and age spots are GONE and most importantly, I FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. I was getting sick of saying “oh my God” in my head, each time I looked at myself in the mirror. I mean it was bordering on being obsessive – it just had to stop. Too many of us have gone too long secretly disliking or even hating the way we look.

To conclude, I felt compelled to write this letter to tell women (and men) about the outstanding results they can get from NeuImage. And after going through this process myself, I’ve learned you must be careful when you’re dealing with your face. You can’t just go to any med spa or doctor who claims to know how to do this…I mean some of us would be more careful choosing a brand of soymilk for Pete’s sake. NeuImage has been around for years and has all the latest equipment and training to ensure you get the best results available. And quite frankly, if I’m going to do something to my face, I want to make sure I do it right.”
