As I was lying on the bed using my Wellbox unit, I flipped on the television and came across an infomercial for WEN Haircare products by Chaz Dean. Ever since removing my extensions my hair has gotten so much healthier. Of course, I have had to cut off a lot of damage, change homecare products and go in for regular treatments. But still, I feel my homecare is still lacking.

…and I have seen no improvement as of yet.  Not that I should be expecting miracles :(  I bought the Wellbox unit after I was fully healed from Lipo and thought it migth help with scar tissue.  Although, in hindsight, I probably should have bought it when I was healing before the scar tissue even formed.  However, it is designed to help cellulite and promote collagen production.  That and eating more healthily and drinking more water, I am hoping to see a difference in the appearance of my skin (on my legs).  My stomach shot [from the scar tissue] is just shot so I have no hope that the Wellbox will improve that.  Honestly the only thing I see that will help that is a reverse tummy tuck, and I am not doing that just so I can wear a bikini without being self conscious about some bumpiness.

I will keep you all posted, as I am sure there are many patients out there who wish to improve the appearance of their contour irregularities after lipo (or simply from cellulite). The unit cost me about 1,400.USD and pretty much looks like a home endermologie unit.  There are several attachment heads for different areas of the body, although I do not use it on my face.  The makers of Wellbox insist that it will improve the firmness of the facial skin, but I couldn’t try it there if I wanted to (because of the Feather Lift Threads).

Will post a follow-up next week…

I am actually old enough to remember when highlighted cheekbones and dark blush applied to the hollows of the face was considered an attractive look. Now pudgy chipmunk cheeks are ”in”. I’m probably exaggerating (and kidding), but according to a recent study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, fuller cheeks are thought to be youthful and attractive. We’re not talking about high, chiseled cheekbones and thinner faces, we’re talking round, child-like apple-cheek features. But that’s old news. It is no secret that those with inner child-like features (large eyes, full cheeks, full lips, and a cute nose) are considered most attractive. Although, I guess since the study came out, it is now official.
