Image Cell U Lift & Body Wash Exfoliate

I started using these products in conjunction due to some specific areas of my abdomen not seeing the same results of skin restriction as others.   Basically, I had a few pudge spots on the right and left of my belly button.   The doctor told me that she had this product that others she had worked with had seen great results from and wanted me to give it a try before considering doing laser resurfacing on my stomach. The procedure on the abdomen was done on June 30 th .   I stated using Cell U Lift on July 14 th .   On the morning of the 17 th , when I took off the compression garment, I thought that I saw a noticeable difference to the “worst” pudge spot.   Then after I showered, I started thinking, maybe it was just more flat because I’d been sleeping and now gravity had a chance do its thing. I followed the directions and showered in the morning and at night using the lotion each time.    I saw no signs of visible change after usin

The Garments

I’m not going to lie.   They are HELL ON EARTH!   The first day is especially bad.   When you leave the doctor’s office, the nurse helps you get into them.   However, once you get home – you’re all on your own unless you have someone to help!   Which I’m not going to lie, you’re going to need help.  I provided pictures below of how incredibly S E X Y these will make you look :) The Body Garment -           It’s the lesser of the two evils.   The first two days, while swollen, it’s extremely tight.   They tell you to pull up your skin every time you lay down to help prevent lines.   The body garment had to be worn for three weeks.   The first day that I took the garment off, I felt like a giggly fat girl.   The massage woman told me that the feeling was due to the tissue not being attached to the skin yet.   By the end of the fourth week, the feeling was getting less and less odd. The Arms Garment -           This is a horribly painful garment to put on.   Every time I put it on,

Random Observations

-           Near each incision by my armpits and on one of the incisions on my back, I have small scabs that aren’t directly connected to the incision.   I have no idea what they are from.   They weren’t there originally but have developed in the last two weeks since the procedure. -           On the inside of each arm, in almost the same spot on each arm, I have what looks like a small burn mark that’s scabbed over.   Not sure if it’s from the laser getting too close to the skin.   Again, no idea.   Just a random thing I noticed.
