Kui ma ütlen, et käisin fotonoorendusel, on sellele kaks reaktsiooni. Esimene reaktsioon on, et kas see on nagu phtoshop, et annad pildi kätte ja seal tuunitakse sind 10+ aastat nooremaks. Teine küsimus on, et kas see on valus. Üks mu tuttav ütles, et tema ka kunagi käis, aga kuna see oli nii valus, siis ta teist korda ei läinud. Mina käisin eile teisel protseduuril. Esimesest kogemusest saad huvi korral lugeda siit.

Kuna mul täna pea valutas ja ma olin pikalt haige olnud, siis ma olin täna valmis selleks, et protseduur on valus. Tuletame meelde, et esimene kord ei olnud see ka mingi kerge massaaž, aga ma ei ütleks kindlasti, et protseduur valus oli. Täna ütles mu sisetunne midagi muud, pealegi hästi palju olin ma inimestega rääkinud sellel teemal ja ikka käis läbi, et valus on. Tõesti seekord oli mu nahk tundlikum ja mõned korrad ma ikka võpatasin, sest vastik tunne oli, selline nagu keegi näpistaks hästi kõvasti. Või olete te kunagi huule ja nina vahelt püüdnud vistrikku ära pigistada? Selline vistriku pigistamise valu, aga hästi äkiline, et ikka võpatad. Ma ei teagi, kas pigem ehmatusest, ärevusest või ebameeldivustundest. Kõige kolme kombost ilmselt.

Mis selle protseduuri aga nö nauditavaks (kui seda sõna siin kasutada saab) on esteetilise meditsiini õe Liisa professionaalne suhtumine. Esiteks kui rahulikult ja isegi hüpnotiseerivalt ta igast oma liigutusest teada annab, teiseks kui ta teab, et järgmiseks on ta  ette võtmas tundlikumat piirkonda, siis ta kohe mainib  selle ära ja küsib peale igat välgusähvatust, kas on vaja pausi. Kohe kui ta näeb, et mõni sähvatus on teistest ebameeldivam, teeb ta ise pisikese pausi ja ütleb siis sõbralikult, et “piinab” nüüd natuke edasi.

Peale esimest protseduuri punetas mu nahk kergelt ja mõne päeva möödudes oli nahk kaetud kerge “kohvipuruga”. Liisa hoiatas, et nägu võib ka natuke paiste minna ja võivad tulla ka mõned sinikad. Ei tulnud midagi, olin paar päeva lihtsalt nagu oleks päikest saanud. Seekord läks mu nägu ka natuke paiste. Vasak põsk oleks nagu mesilase käest nõelata saanud. Õnneks mingeid üritusi mul lähipäevil ees ei ole, nii et võin natuke paistes olla küll. Töö juures on nad juba harjunud, et tulen õmmeldud silmade ja paistes näoga aegajalt tööle:)

Aga mis see fotonoorendus siis on? Ei, see ei ole photoshop ja ei see ei tee sind 10+ aastat nooremaks. Fotonoorendus on naha noorendamise meetod, mis eemaldab nahalt pigmendilaigud ja stimuleerib nahas kollageeni sünteesi ning muudab seeläbi naha siledamaks ja pringimaks. Nii lihtne ongi. 

Paari nädala pärast saan ma teile enne ja pärast pilte näidata, saame näha, milline erinevus siis on. Kui teid sama protseduur huvitab, siis rohkem infot leiate Medemise kodulehelt. Ma ise langesin ka reklaamiohvriks ja panin endale kinni ka fotoepilatsiooni aja. Säärte fotoepilatsiooni kampaaniahind oli vaid 99 eurot. Kevade saabudes on aeg karupükstele hüvasti küll öelda!

When I say that I had photorejunevation done, I get two kinds of reaction. First is when people ask if it’s like photoshopping, where you give a picture of yourself and they make you look 10+ years younger. Second reaction is a question – did it hurt? One of my friends told that she had this done ages ago, but because it was so painful the first time, she never went back. I recently had my second session done. If you are interested, then my thoughts about the first session are HERE.

Since I was suffering with a headache on that day and had been ill for quite a while, I was ready for the procedure to be painful. Just telling you, that the first time wasn’t some gentle massage either, but I wouldn’t say it was painful. This time my inner voice told me to be prepared for something else. I had spoken to people about this earlier and one of the things that kept popping up was the procedure to be painful. This time my skin really was more sensible and I did jump couple of times, because it felt nasty, like someone was pinching me really strong. Or have you ever tried to squeeze a spot between your lip and nose? That sort of pain, but very sudden which makes you jump. I am not even sure if it was because of fright, anxiety, or feeling uncomfortable. Probably a combo of all three.

What made the procedure enjoyable (if it can be described enjoyable at all) though, was the professional attitude the aesthetic nurse Liisa had. Firstly, how calmly, and hypnotically she warned me before each of her move. Secondly, if she expected the next area to be more sensible, she would let me know and asked after every flash if I needed a break. As soon as she saw that a flash wasn’t as pleasant, she would take a little pause herself and then warned to start “torturing” a bit more.

After the first session, my skin was a bit red and after couple of days covered with “coffee scrap”. Liisa warned, that sometimes the face can swallow up a bit and you might get some bruises. Last time I was lucky enough and nothing like that happened, it only looked like I had had a bit of sun on my face. This time it did swallow up a bit. It almost looked like a bee had stung me on the left cheek. Luckily, I had no plans to go anywhere so it was okay to look a bit swollen. Besides, my colleagues are already used to see me coming to work with stitched eyes or swollen face every now and again anyway.

But what is photorejuvenation? No, it’s not like photshopping your picture to make you look 10+ years younger. It is a method to rejuvenate your skin during which it removes pigmented areas, stimulates the synthesis of collagen in your skin and though this makes your skin look more fresh and smooth. That’s how easy it is.

In couple of week time I can show you before and after pictures, to see the differences. If you are interested in having the same procedure done, then you can find more information on Medemis website. I became a victim of advertising myself and already booked time for photoepilation, they had a campaign on to get your legs done for only 99 euros. It’s time to say good-bye to the hair and hello to the sun!
