I'm so glad you started your channel, I've learned so much from you and LOVE your knowledge and transparency and acceptance of all view points. You certainly have chosen your treatments well...you look beautiful and healthy and natural and are aging very "gracefully". I put that in quotations because that word is thrown around a lot and is sometimes used as a judgment against people who choose to do treatments. To me aging "gracefully" is being comfortable in your skin whether or not you choose treatments. We are so lucky to have so many more options than previous generations...but research is key so thank you for sharing such great info and your personal experience...Like you I have always been super transparent and love to share...when I got my first Botox I loved it so much I sang the praises to all my friends and coworkers LOL. Thanks for another great video!
💕Good morning, Thank you for being a wonderful example of what it means to age gracefully & gratefully. You know how much I care for you and appreciate your guidance and support over the last few years. You gave me the courage to share my story and passion. I am so “grateful” to YOU for introducing me to a wonderfully supportive and caring community of women💜
I used to think I would never do any kind of procedure, then like you said, menopause happened! Now, I am kind of just learning and maybe at some point will have some "tweakments" like you said! Lol! I support women/men doing what ever they need to feel more confident in their bodies. And if you want to wash with a Dove beauty bar and only use moisturizer your whole life, that's great too!
Complicated very worthwhile topic ❤❤❤ I view cosmetic procedures as extremely helpful options/adaptations for humans that now live much muuuuch longer. Women did not live with menopause for decades, but we do and will now. It’s a gift 🎁 all that time, truly!!! But also means we need to adapt to that, I think it’s about much more than just considering procedures but dealing with drastic changes to appearance is profound & complex and whatever tools and resources we devise are worth using if we can and want to. Ok I’ll shut up now lol. Thanks if you got to the end of this. Love you 💕💖🧡💕💖☀️
Hi Olina, you are so right it’s complicated and profound. I love your comment!!!! We are living longer and with more vitality! So (IMHO) why wouldn’t one want to look as good as they feel given realistic expectations and of course within their means. I am so glad you are a part of this community. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts 💜💜💜
Hi Cindy! I don't think there should be any shame attached to these things, I don't think it's a moral issue - as long as you can afford it. I think it's great and natural trying to improve one's skin, but I'm not keen on face lifts, lip fillers, sculptra, botox and all those procedures that actually change your features and change your expression. Having said that, it's a personal choice. If I could afford to do all those things, which I can't ☹, I wouldn't. I'd travel around the world, take up flying again (I took flying lessons when I was young and wish I had pursued a flying career), buy a little boat, start a cat shelter and do other things. I do think people should be honest though, if they're asked, and if they are promoting a lifestyle or products. I also think people should know where to stop or it becomes an obsession. Wow, this is a bit long! X Just one more thing...what do you think of hydrafacials? IF I could afford one, I think I would like one, I like the sound of them.
Hi Sarah, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You bring up excellent points. I loved hearing about all the amazing, fun things you would do & choices you would make with your discretionary income. Finding what brings one joy and sparks passion in life is perhaps the best gift to aging well. TBH I’m still on a path to discovering these things. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us💜
Love your channel. I think we are on the same page as far as cosmetic procedures. I have had a few tweaks over the last 12 years and I think we're the same age. In 2009 my husband passed away far too soon when we were both in our 40s and that took its toll in every way. I found myself feeling like I'd aged 20 years during his brief illness and I desperately needed to feel better. I found a wonderful, empathic, gifted surgeon who helped me prioritize my goals. I did not have a full face lift but I had a "mini" which was life changing. I would not want to go through it again, but I'm happy I did. Now I maintain as best I can with in-office peels and botox. Fillers scare me so I avoid. I never want to lose perspective. I'd rather err on the side of caution and would rather look "old" than look "done". Balance. I truly applaud your willingness to share and help lift the stigma. xo!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m sorry for your loss. Grief snd stress over our loved ones takes a tremendous toll on the body. You just reminded me that I almost lost my adult son, during this same time / early 50’s. I always blamed menopause for my abrupt aging. Your story just made me realize that stress clearly must’ve have been a major contributor as well! I don’t know why that never dawned on me 🤦🏼♀️ I am so happy for you that you were able to find a wonderful surgeon and to have the courage to do what was right for you. Again thank you for sharing and for being part of this community. I know others will appreciate & find your story helpful as they navigate aging their way. 💜
Your results are outstanding. I also have those lines over my upper and lower lips. Mine are from always drinking from straws. I am going to talk to my dermatologist about your type of treatment.
Hi Angela, I’m so glad you enjoyed my video and found it inspiring. Definitely keep the group posted on your chat with your dermatologist & what you decide. It’s nice to have a group to chat with as you’re deciding & going through treatments. Thanks again for being part of the beyond50skin family.💜
I would love to have a face lift but don’t know how to afford it. I’d love see the before and after with the ablative laser, could it be a more affordable version of a light face lift? Does it tighten as well as help discoloration?
Hi, face lifts are definitely expensive! I did a whole video on my ablative laser treatment ua-cam.com/video/Oly4enDeSIw/v-deo.html. I also put before and afters at the end of this video. It was a great option for me as I was not at all ready for surgery. Often plastic surgeons will add laser to the treatment as it resurfaces, removes pigmentation & refines the skin. If you’re interested in watching more of the cosmetic procedures that I had done for a full facial rejuvenation, you can watch this video as well. ua-cam.com/video/0vhjwehCJRI/v-deo.html Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your thoughts💜
I suspect you disclosed this somewhere, but how much did your laser journey cost with consult, follow-up, etc. I have an appointment later this month with a dermatologist and I'm trying to prepare. Thank you so much!
Yes, my total financial outlay for my 7 year journey is on my Instagram post. instagram.com/reel/Ci0s5Ongf-h/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== My laser treatment was 4k including follow-ups. Can’t wait to hear what your derm recommends 💜
Happy Tuesday 💕 I don’t get procedures for mostly financial reasons. That said many aren’t for me and I wouldn’t get them even if I could but I support each person’s decision to do as they wish! I wouldn’t say I judge others who get many procedures. My issue is I think many aren’t honest about why.

I think the judgment may lesson with increased transparency.
I appreciate your candor. Full disclosure, in retrospect I did want to look younger than my appearance at 50. I think it’s deeply wrapped up in self perception (at least for me) vs deception.

I love this!!! I’m 54, in menopause, on the hrt journey, trying to make lemonade out of lemons, it’s very challenging in so many ways, not just the face, but body and mind, I feel if we are addressing all parts we can truly succeed 🎉!

Hi Kareyann, you’re so right! Mid-life is a full mind-body transformation. So many changes! Thank you for your supportive comments to the group. I needed a little pick up this morning & you were it! Keep us posted on how your Fraxel and peel go. And thank you so much for being a positive voice for the beyond50skin community💜
@@beyond50skin awwww, so happy to hear that! Okay, yes, getting my Fraxel, and TCA eye peel, and I’ll share after! Have a beautiful day, and happy Halloween 🎃🍁🍂🌾✨
I made it through the full face/neck/chest Fraxel, and eye peel! My Derm also used Phenol on some parts of deeper wrinkles around my mouth, all this was on Tues 11/1, it’s now Saturday. Healing is on target, using Biopelle ampoules and Alastin nectar for post care, using a vinegar solution to wash with, and skin is beginning to shed. I’m so glad I did this as a pre skin cancer treatment after years as a child in the sun ☀️ (I still love you sun!) and of course the cosmetic benefits. My chest looks kinda gnarly, she went in deep on some of the irregular skin, it’s gonna take a full 2 weeks for that to heal, but I’m so glad and grateful I saved money to get this done! ✨👸🏻✨ I also swear by using my Oralift mouth device that is helping with clenching my teeth but also has a face rejuvenating effect. Love some good self care combined with healing old habits 🪄✨🥰
@@kareyannpearl260 Yay!!! Sounds like it’s all going according to plan 🙌💜 Super exciting. Thank you for keeping us posted on how things are going. I’ve always been a little bit nervous of peels which is silly & irrational considering the cosmetic dermatology treatments I’ve done😂… it sounds like you’re having a wonderful result. Take good care as you heal up over the next few weeks. Let us know your final thoughts. I’m encouraged to hear your comments about the Oralift. I’ve been a bit 🤨 skeptical, but intrigued. With all the orthodontics I’ve had I don’t want to go backwards 😱..I use an aliner every other night to maintain my bite and prevent clenching, but I am totally curious about all the results I’m seeing regarding the facial changes with Oralift 🤔🤔🤔🤔. Have a wonderful weekend 💜
Hi Lisa, thank you for joining in the conversation. If you’re comfortable keep the group posted on your progress and your experience. May I what prompted you to chose fully ablative CO2? I think the group would benefit from your perspective 💜
Great video Cindy Love your honesty and sharing! No shame in wanting to look beautiful, we all do and it is great that we live in these times were we can choose what we want and don’t want to do. xx

@@kareyannpearl260 Yay!!! Sounds like it’s all going according to plan 🙌💜 Super exciting. Thank you for keeping us posted on how things are going. I’ve always been a little bit nervous of peels which is silly & irrational considering the cosmetic dermatology treatments I’ve done😂… it sounds like you’re having a wonderful result. Take good care as you heal up over the next few weeks. Let us know your final thoughts. I’m encouraged to hear your comments about the Oralift. I’ve been a bit 🤨 skeptical, but intrigued. With all the orthodontics I’ve had I don’t want to go backwards 😱..I use an aliner every other night to maintain my bite and prevent clenching, but I am totally curious about all the results I’m seeing regarding the facial changes with Oralift 🤔🤔🤔🤔. Have a wonderful weekend 💜
Just found your channel. Love it. I’m going in for a full ablative co2 in December as well as fraxel on neck and chest. Can’t wait.
Hi Lisa, thank you for joining in the conversation. If you’re comfortable keep the group posted on your progress and your experience. May I what prompted you to chose fully ablative CO2? I think the group would benefit from your perspective 💜
Great video Cindy
Love your honesty and sharing! No shame in wanting to look beautiful, we all do and it is great that we live in these times were we can choose what we want and don’t want to do.

Thank you Claudia for you’re lovely comment. I also feel very grateful to have the choice and opportunity as well. 💜
