Second Fotona Fractional T3 Laser Treatment at Skin and Laser Clinic in Tunbridge Wells

Busy back at work now, I never seem to have 5 minutes to myself.  I have so many clients’ needing help and a very busy life at home too, so when I arrived at the clinic today, to sit down for five minutes quietly was great. Glistening chandeliers in the clinic remind me of the glamour of films, there’s a nice feel to the place. No tension today, I felt an awful lot more confident this time with the second treatment with the T3 Fotona Fractional Laser, as I knew what to expect.  I didn’t grit my teeth with anxiety this time, I admit I was exceptionally nervous the first session but let me reassure you, relax you don’t need to worry.  Natasha’s assistant cleaned my skin and as usual their bright cheery smiles were a pleasure to see, after a very intense week at work.  Natasha explained that this time she would raise the heat more but if I was at all concerned or not comfortable with it, for me to let her know.

My first treatment had been four weeks ago and some people did mention how well I was looking, (nice to get a compliment). I could see a difference in the top of my lip to the left, the lip lines did not look as deep as they did and also my neck didn’t seem as saggy!  I had been really pleased with the first Laser session and pretty much keen for the next one.  I have been thinking of getting Juvederm in to the lips but will now see how the lines around my mouth continue to improve as they are already doing so wonderfully.

Cleanliness in the treatment rooms is a priority at the clinic and I have never seen anything that concerns me, in fact it is always very spotless.  Being a bit over cautious about germs and that’s one thing you do not have to even think about at the Tunbridge Wells Skin and Laser Clinic because they are highly trained and it shows in their work and the environment. It is definitely kept scrupulously clean and if it wasn’t I would say.

So my facial skin had been cleaned several times and there were a few giggles as I lay on the treatment couch whilst Natasha and I shared a joke or two.  I felt incredibly relaxed.  Coupling my hands so they felt warm, then Natasha placed on the cotton wool pads and special glasses essential to protect my eyes, I experience a nice chilled out feeling.  Unwinding Natasha enlightened me about the following treatment.  As she had previously said she will increase the heat but could use the cool air if I found it unpleasant. 

Describing thoroughly how she would make the treatment intensify and enhance the use of the Laser more to encourage the collagen to be stimulated and regenerate was informative.  So Natasha started, a beeping and slight clicking sound gently fills the air as the Laser is moved across the skin in patterns of clear movement; to make sure the whole face is covered.  It seemed to take a lot more time than the last session but Natasha explained I would notice more of a difference this time because I was not so nervous I was able to withstand more heat and I realised it was not going to hurt me.  I could feel the heat required for the treatment to be effective but I was not in the least in any pain, a couple of times I whispered “Oh a bit hot”, and within a second, Natasha had removed the laser.  Although Natasha is the one holding the Laser you never sense being out of control because she really listens to you during the treatment and is talking and explaining the crucial information about what’s going on and what she is going to be doing next.  I ascertained the T3 is good for Skin tightening, toning, texture, blood vessels and age spots and lines/wrinkles.  As the Laser continued to be passed over my whole face, I could feel the heat turning my face red, a nice warm glow, just how I imagined like sitting in front of a roaring log fire.  On my last treatment my face was reddened but the blush really disappeared very quickly, so I wasn’t in the least bit worried. Whilst lying having the second treatment I was getting quite excited and eager to see how my skin would be after this Laser treatment.  Natasha said I would see a difference in the next couple of days.

So today is one week after my second T3 Fotona Fractional Laser session and sorry not to sound like I am being big headed but the difference it has made to my face is outstanding.  I get up and my skin is glowing.  Without one shred of doubt my skin on my neck is nowhere like it was, it has improved no end, and it is much tighter and not sagging.  My lips seem to have enhanced to what they were in the respect of the lip lines.  My lip lines were pretty deep but have virtually disappeared compared to what they were like before the 1st Laser treatment.  Around the side of my eyes, there are no lines or wrinkles and to be honest I was in the past having botox round the eyes but 100% wouldn’t need it there now.  I think I look younger and quite a few people have commented on how magnificent my skin is looking.  Meeting my friend for lunch today she said “Your skin is looking amazing”, I grinned like a Cheshire cat as I sipped my fizzy mineral water.  “Thanks”, I then went on to explain all about the Tunbridge Wells Skin and Laser Clinic and what beautiful treatments I have received there.  She’s going to make an appointment soon; she expressed how impressed she was.  It’s a strange but nice feeling since I had the Laser treatments as my skin feels, clean, bright, tight, toned and open if that makes sense, like a flower opening up from a slightly wrinkled bud into something quite special and wide eyed.  I know that sounds a bit odd but I can honestly say, I definitely sense and believe the T3 has seriously made a massive change in the problem areas of my face and neck. What are you waiting for? It’s like a magic wand and Natasha said my skin will keep on improving. 

Before I left the clinic, I also recieved another treatment that lasted for 15 minutes and this was called LED Lumi 8.  It is a light treatment which enables collagen stimulation and skin tightening.  It also rejuvenates and helps with healing tissue of the skin.  It is anti-aging and detoxes the skin which makes it feel brilliant and fresh. Iisntense LED facial system that offers painless non invasive ttments
Thank you Natasha for cheering me up no end and a superb treatment.  Not sure if I will be going to get the recommended three sessions but if I do will keep you posted.
