don ’ t plump up your face . That ’ s what a Magic Lift does : it plumps up your cheeks and fills in your hollow areas .
KAM : I did feel some pain from the Fraxel and the DermaPen procedures , but it was just minor discomfort . It doesn ’ t last any longer than the time you ’ re there . I thought , “ This is so worth it !” And since a Magic Lift is non-surgical , there ’ s no anesthesia . You ’ re awake , you ’ re talking , you ’ re cognizant of what ’ s happening the whole time . It was not a huge procedure or an all-day event . I had no issues , just a little recovery time . It ’ s like going to a beauty bar : you breeze in and breeze out .
MARY : The staff is wonderful ! They talk you through each step before they do it and what to expect and what to concentrate on . When I had my consultation , the staff asked me to look into a mirror and tell them what I didn ’ t like and what I wanted to fix — my Magic Lift was based on what I didn ’ t like about what I was seeing . That ’ s the beauty of it .
KAM : Yes , during my consultation , the staff asked if I felt like I looked sad or angry or tired . My answer was “ Yes , yes , and yes !” Fortunately , whatever the issue , a Magic Lift can correct it .
REDINA : And the staff doesn ’ t tell you what they think you need . That ’ s not their approach . They ’ re not going to keep on going and filling your face or your lips or doing too much . They talk to you — it ’ s your decision .
KAM : Exactly . I didn ’ t want Angelina Jolie lips . I had always been afraid to have my lips done , actually . Now that I know what they can look like and feel like , though , I ’ m not going to not have them done ! And another nice thing about getting a Magic Lift is that if something isn ’ t exactly symmetrical , they ’ ll tweak it and touch it up a couple of weeks later , once everything has settled in .
MARY : Then there ’ s also using the proper products afterward — the staff recommends what works best for your skin type and how to maintain all the work you ’ ve had done , how to keep the glow going .
Still , the biggest improvement was getting a Magic Lift and getting rid of the big bags under my eyes . Between that and getting a yearly Fraxel , wow !
REDINA : I ’ ve had people ask , “ How do you know when it ’ s time to go back for more ?” Well , a Magic Lift can last a good year depending on the person , but I ’ ll say that when it comes to having another round of Botox , if I ’ m putting on makeup and I notice that I look frumpy , I think , “ Ah ! It ’ s time ! I need Botox right here to lift my eyebrows — it ’ s time . I can make angry eyes again .” Or if it ’ s six or eight months later and you think , “ I wish my cheeks were a little more full ” or “ Maybe my temples need to be filled in ” or “ I ’ d like the corners of my mouth to be up a little more ,” you go in and talk to the staff . They can help you with that . It ’ s like a long-lasting touch-up .
KAM : Yes , there ’ s a lot more flexibility with Magic Lifts than with surgical facelifts — you can go back and get a slightly different look if you like . Maybe I ’ ll want Angelina Jolie lips one of these days , after all ! And the Magic Lift and add-ons continue to enhance your face — the Fraxel and DermaPen enhance your features , and the PRP restores collagen and boosts your own body ’ s healing abilities . It ’ s an interesting process where they take your
own blood , spin it in a centrifuge to create a serum , and then administer it into your face . It feels really nice afterward .
REDINA : Because I ’ ve always had bad skin , once I had a Fraxel , I looked noticeably different . I highly recommend it . Still , the biggest improvement was getting a Magic Lift and getting rid of the big bags under my eyes . Between that and getting a yearly Fraxel , wow ! These days , I can be like one of those beautiful girls who just slaps on a little bit of makeup and walks out of the house .
MARY : You wind up feeling more peaceful when you realize that you can ’ t look as angry , plus it ’ s a confidence builder . When you look in the mirror , you really feel good about what ’ s looking back at you . That ’ s what I like about it .
REDINA : It ’ s all about confidence . Getting a Magic Lift makes you feel pretty and makes you feel confident . And all of that affects your personality in a good way !
