I just looked in the mirror and said, «Well, hello gorgeous!» thanks to my lovely new best friends at Chesapeake Plastic Surgery. No, I didn’t get surgery but I did boost my confidence and take some preventative measures against fine lines with the best aesthetic nurse in the biz, Noelle. Here’s the scoop: I came in only for an initial skincare consultation with Noelle after seeing Chesapeake Plastic Surgery on a local CBSTV feature and left as a gal with a plan(and a smile)! Noelle was so patient with me and all my probing questions on how I can stay looking youthful without looking«done.» It’s obvious she knows her stuff cuz she gave me PLENTY of options to choose from: chemical peel regimens, deeper laser treatments and finally, fillers. Always being a «middle of the road» type of person, I opted for a laser treatment, specifically Fraxel treatments(which are said to be painful but oh-so-worth it)! I immediately scheduled my treatment and I left knowing I was undoubtedly in good hands. I’ll admit, I was nervous for the Fraxel, but I braced myself for the treatment, and it was not really all that bad… Noelle applied a hefty smear of numbing crème to the area, which definitely helped but what really got me through it was her bedside manner — she was so pleasant the whole time and coached me through it all, letting me know how much longer I have left and giving me a great stress ball to squeeze on. I’m sitting here, 3 months later and I look 3 years younger… Hallelujah! I asked her to go more aggressive under the eyes, which she gladly did with ease and precision — and it was worth it all. It plumped up the hollows and was really rejuvenating. The best part of all: people notice how youthful I look and ask if it’s a new haircut, or if I’ve just gotten back from vacation or something… JUST what I was looking for! I don’t look«done» just like a younger version of myself. Good going, Noelle!
