Silhouette Thread Instalift - I am thrilled with Dr Caruth and with the two procedures! He knew how important my privacy is to me and did everything so that no one could see any swelling or marks. The silhouette threads were not painful at all. He did tiny amounts of lydacain, but I absolutely did not have a painful experience. My face is already more lifted and less wrinkles in the lower cheeks. I went on a 4 hour road trip for the weekend directly afterwards without any trouble. I drove. Thermitight neck on Friday took away the neck creases already! I do have the vocal cords still a bit lax but hoping they tighten up too! I also drove myself and did not have pain. Dr. Caruth is awesome and has a great team of medical professionals! Procedure Friday, blowing Saturday! More
* * * * * UPDATE * * * * * So about a week ago I had the PrecisionTX treatment on my underarms, which essentially is a treatment that ablates your sweat glands. Did it hurt? UHM, yes, but it wasn't unbearable. (But c'mon, "ablating" anything prrrrobably isn't going to be a party!) The procedure took about an hour but things went numb after a few minutes post incision. Annie and the other nurse (I can't remember her name) are SO sweet and I remember one of them holding my hand the whole time. Dr. Caruth asked me how I was doing throughout the procedure and even called personally a few days later to check in on me. I can't tell you how much I adore Annie, Samantha, Dr. Caruth and the other nurse...I hate that I don't remember her name too! Anyway, the first few days I was really really sore but now a week later I'm starting to feel a lot more normal. MOST incredibly, I haven't worn deodorant since and I have had absolutely NO perspiration! Beforehand I wouldn't say I sweated excessively like some people, but enough to annoy me. Now that I am feeling better, I would say that it was worth it! I'm sure I'll especially love it come summertime in Texas! If you're a heavy sweater I would DEFINITELY recommend this treatment! It's ONE time,and you're good to go forever! More
