First Working Visit With Cheney

After visiting Suwanee Dental yesterday morning for a orthodontics check, I met with Cheney Davis at the Cauble Center. We did a number of treatments. Well, she did a number of treatments-I sat/laid there! I will leave the technical explanations to Cheney, but here is my side:
First, was the microdermabrasion. This was done on my face and neck. The process felt a bit like fine sandpaper or, maybe a rough washcloth, rubbing across my skin.
Then we started the Carbossi Body Sculpting on my face, neck and upper arms. Cheney also used Lipodissolve on my upper arms.
I think the upper arm work is one of the most exciting parts of this experience. It is un-finished business. After losing weight, I still couldn't wear sleeveless things because of the sagging skin. I was a walking example of granny arms, they kept waving after I stopped! There will be before pictures soon. When we measured for the starting-point, my first thought was-there really is a decent muscle under there! And now, everyone else will be able to see it soon.

No part of any of these services we overly painful. There was a mild discomfort with the dermabrasion, but I knew it was getting rid of the dead, gross stuff while stimulating the production of new-fabulous looking skin. The injections involved with both the Carbossi and Lipodissolve ranged from an intense bee sting to not feeling it at all. HONESTLY--there were many I did not even feel. Today, I can faintly see the lines on my neck from the microdermabrasion, and my skin is a bit sensitive. But, I am using the after-care kit Cheney provided and wearing my sunscreen. There are a few small bruises on my arms from the injections.

As I am trekking through this journey, I am also having to address some old mentalities. This isn't just physical, there is TOTALLY an emotional side to this too. I told Cheney yesterday that it is easy to go around the world telling women how amazing they are-that God designed them for wonderful things-they are His princess...But, it is hard sometimes to walk in that myself. I AM BEAUTIFUL NOW, I DESERVE THESE GIFTS AND BLESSINGS.

The road ahead is getting shorter. August is coming up soon-I am truly excited to share with everyone the finished product of the amazing gifts I have been blessed with. STAY TUNED!!!!
