Hi Everyone. Here are the results of the eight weeks of relaxing beauty treatments I’ve been Having. I will be popping back for a one-off treatment next week and I look forward to sharing that with you all too.
I’m going to miss not going to Bodyvie just for the pure relaxation!
I have enjoyed myself so much coming to Bodyvie. The friendly staff and the relaxing surroundings. Once you lay on that couch, you know it’s your time to switch off from the world and worry about nothing!
In between my Radiofrequency treatment, I had some laser therapy done on that nasty spot! I will rekindle your memory or if you didn’t see the photo before of my sagging jowls and nasty spot, here it is below. And if you wish to read about the Radiofrequency post you can catch that here too.
During my consultation with Doctor Webber, it was explained to me that the “nasty spot” on my nose was due to a collagen mass. Apparently, if you have a minor injury to your skin the collagen will mass to protect the injury. Well, anyone that knows me will know that I’m always balancing my glasses on my head. Every now and then they will slip and go Plonk! straight onto my nose. I think that’s how it originally formed, I can’t think of any other kind of injury I’ve had. I have since treated myself to new reading glasses, so it doesn’t happen anymore!
How do you get rid of a nasty spot like that?
When Doctor Weber explained the treatments that were available to remove the spot, I chose to go for the laser treatment. The other treatment available was Thermavein and if the laser didn’t work I would have that after. I have to say, I felt a little apprehensive at the idea of being lasered! I asked Doctor Weber a few questions.
- Will it hurt? – The laser will feel like you’re being pinged by an elastic band. A quick sting and it’s over
- How long does the treatment take? – A couple of seconds
- How will it look after? Fashion photos will not look good if I have a plaster on my nose! – There is no downtime. Just a small Black spot that can be covered
That was it. I was sold! Doctor Weber showed me to the beauty treatment room and I hopped on the couch. Goggles were placed over my eyes for protection. I closed them waiting for the sting! A quick click and it was done! That’s it he said! I opened my eye’s and couldn’t believe how simple it was. And no it didn’t hurt one bit.
Later at home, I remember my nose feeling like it had had a hot day in the sun. When I woke in the morning, the tiny Black head of the spot was already starting to appear, but hardly noticeable. I covered it easily with makeup. Easier than before. I was already happy!
By the time my next weekly appointment for my radiofrequency had come round the spot was no more. NO MORE!
I can’t believe that I have cursed that spot daily for around two years had been zapped for a second and disappeared! I am now one of doctor Webers biggest fans! I could have kissed him!
So If you have any nasty spots that you have a problem to cover up. Don’t just suffer it. Go see what can be done about it. I can’t believe it was that simple. And it makes you feel so much better too. I don’t even have to camouflage it any more.
The results
Before treatment
Firstly, I am absolutely over the moon about the disappearance of the nasty spot! I totally recommend this laser treatment to anyone that is suffering anything like an annoyance that I had. Go have it done! The photo above shows how much more noticeable those jowls are! The chin is more pointed from where my face is sagging.
After treatment
The radiofrequency. The beauty of this treatment is how long it lasts. I’m a huge fan of the Caci Ultimate non -surgical facelift treatment (This is also available at Bodyvie here ) but it doesn’t last as long as the radiofrequency and I don’t think the Caci plumps your face as much. Great for bust lifting though! Radiofrequency carries on working even after your treatment has finished. I can see the difference. A more defined jawline from the lift and my jowls are far less noticeable. I hope to go back for a top up in around six months time.
I will be returning soon to have some Microdermabrasion treatment. I will be writing all about the experience, so I hope you will join me for that. Have you had it done yet? And if so, how did you feel about the results. Or any of the treatments above. I would love to hear from you.
Next week I will be talking about a home beauty treatment device that I think you will be interested in, so do pop by for that.
An Honest and very grateful review for Bodyvie

That’s amazing!! I am off to google all about it. Thanks for linking up #BloggersBests
Well you had beautiful skin to start with Laurie but the treatment has left you looking even more radiant! I don’t have facials or more specialised treatments very often but when I do I always enjoy them, especially if I get great results. I had a couple of Comcit oxygen treatments last year, which although not that relaxing (lots of tiny needles) it made a noticeable difference and plumped my skin out nicely. I should make more time to treat myself every now and then.

I’m really not up on beauty treatments at all but the techniques that they can offer now are so impressive. One quick treatment and a problem area is dealt with! Wow! Thanks for linking to #DreamTeam x
I love how your spot disappeared. I have a few I’d like to get rid of. I’ll have to look into it here where I live.
It’s fab to see before and after pics from a real person rather than on a sales page as those are usually photo shopped (badly) or clearly without make-up and with make-up. Those are great results
Thanks for linking up to #AnythingGoes 🙂

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it xx
I’ve got plenty of spots that need to be zapped! I’m going to have to make an appointment at my dermatologist soon. You look great.
Author
thank you! There are so many different new technologies for skin complaints that can make a difference now. I’m sure they will sort it.
This sounds so interesting. You look gorgeous and what a great way to “fix” spots instead of surgery!

Thank you Ruth. THis spot had lived with me for around two years! I am so glad to get rid! xx
Great to see a “real” person sharing an honest review with before and after pics. I laugh at a lot of the pics shown by clinics because the ‘after’ is so obviously shot in better lighting, or from a slightly more flattering angle! The radiofrequency sounds very tempting. I would love to have IPL on my pigmentation marks.

Thank you so much, Gail. I don’t think there’s any point in it being unreal and looking unrealistic. Women of our age group all suffer from something! I have a long list truth be known. I’m glad you enjoyed the review and it was hard laying myself bare! So that alone makes it worthwhile xx
Thanks for sharing your experiences, Laurie! I’m afraid of doing anything to my face, but I have a red spot on the side of my nose from my reading glasses that I’d love to get rid of. Maybe this would be a solution. Come to think about it, I’d love to ditch the readers, too! I need a procedure for that 😉
Your skin looks amazing! Looks like the laser treatment really works!

Those blasted reading glasses huh? I swear that’s where my spot came from! Go have it done Mary. It literally takes a second. If I had known what a difference it would make |I would have had this done ages ago.xx
I can vouch that the nose spot has totally disappeared having met you. Fabulous treatment and brave to share it.

I’ve had laser treatments on my face since I was a teen since I have rosacea. It really is a wonderful invention! #AnythingGoes

Isn’t it Heather. Have you told your readers? I think such a wonderful invention that can make this much difference needs to be shared. xx
Great results! It’s always nice to get pampered. Thank you Laurie for linking up at the #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty. I shared your post on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter.
