Aunty Hot Saree Biography
Source(google.com.pk)The first was basically a consultation with my practitioner Lee Garrett, an aesthetic nurse practitioner who works his miracles at Freedomhealh
in Harley Street.
Lee did some laser work on my face last year, which I'm incredibly happy with. The promise before that set of procedures, of a 50 per cent
reduction in wrinkles - brought about by pumping up the collagen reproduction in the skin with an 'N-Lite' laser - was more than fulfilled.
The treatment quite literally changes the environment of the skin, which then stimulates the production of large amounts of new collagen around
the affected areas.
This helps to plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles. At that stage, I also had microdermabrasion (in which micro-particles of crystals were
blasted on to my skin to clean the surface), and photo rejuvenation - a treatment which uses multiple laser wavelengths to reduce pigmentation,
broken capillaries and wrinkles - to remove fine thread veins caused by sun damage.
The laser light is absorbed by pigmented areas where it is converted to heat, causing a break up in the pigment.
On a trip to Washington recently, the taxi driver nearly drove off the road when I told him I was 50. Believe me, lasers work. On the first
consultation this time, Lee did a patch test with the Broad-Band Laser which would be used on my chest to stimulate the cells in the dermis and
create more collagen.
I also picked up the skincare products that would go with the series of treatments.
They consist of a new range called the Obagi Elastiderm Décolletage System which contains a skin lightening cream and also a wrinkle
reduction lotion.
They're not cheap at £120 for the two products but vital in treating and healing the skin after the laser, and lovely to use. The Sciton is one of the
new era of lasers used for treating damaged skin.
It is fast-acting and again stimulates the fibroblasts that synthesise collagen, heaven's gift to plump, wrinkle-free skin.
So far so good. The second week it was a full session with the BroadBrand Light using the Sciton laser. It lasted about 20 minutes. Does it hurt?
Yes, a bit. It looks for all the world as though you've had a lot of little hot iron burns all over your chest, but the stinging goes quickly and your chest
is packed with ice to take away the heat.
As they say, no gain without pain. After that treatment, I did go straight from the clinic to the supermarket and then happily cooked dinner that
evening for 12 of my friends.
At this stage in the treatment, I would not recommend a low top, as the chest and shoulders are pretty red. Not red raw, but irritated and blotchy.
The third and fourth procedures are basically the same Sciton laser treatment, but each one is progressively less uncomfortable. By the last
session it was a breeze and there was no need even for the icepacks afterwards.

The laser works to eradicate hyperpigmentation and broken capillaries caused by sun damage and ageing, and stimulates the production of
collagen to plump up the skin and reduce the crepeyness and lines.
Allied to that, you are supposed to use the creams each day and, yes, the improvement really is remarkable. The laser treatments are £350
each, and with £100 for the initial consultation that makes a grand total of £1,270.
It worked brilliantly for me. (If you're not worried too much about the quality of your skin and just have what we might call a creased chest, then Lee
says either Botox or the new era version of the filler Restylane Vital work wonders.)
The brilliant thing about these new ranges of laser treatments is you can stop and even reverse the ageing process with a vengeance, without
surgery - no needles or knives, that's my aim.
In these times of financial uncertainty, a £1,200 treatment may seem a bit rich but frankly a fabulous new décolletage may be just the pick-up a
woman needs.
I had already booked up the treatment long before the markets crashed and we skidded into recession, and I'm sure lots of us would think long
and hard about going ahead with it now, as I did.
