Life After Fifty: Not What You Imagined

Hi everybody. My name is ElaineI am 54 years old and I am happy when I look in the mirror. Want to know why? Not so long ago I was feeling and looking like a tired, old middle-aged woman and the way my skin looked made me blue, but today I feel renewed. So what’s changed? A little wardrobe update, a major attitude adjustment and a revolutionary RF (radio frequency) home treatment to transform my ageing skin.

The Old Me
Up until the last few years I didn’t give too much thought to my age. I was busy with kids, friends and my job, but when my children moved on and life slowed down, I suddenly found myself frequently analyzing how I looked and began wondering when all of these changes started happening to my face. I remember the exact moment it hit me. I was walking past a storefront and suddenly did a double take at my reflection, I honestly didn’t even recognize myself. I scanned my forehead, the areas around my eyes and mouth, my chin, my chest… everything seemed so saggy and wrinkly. “Who is this woman?” I wondered, “This can’t be what I look like! I still feel like I’m in my 30’s!” It was an eye-opening moment. I always told myself I would stay calm when this day arrived, but when the time came my reaction was very different. Witnessing the loss of my youthful appearance was one of the toughest experiences I have been through. It felt like I had lost some of the things I loved most about myself. I was standing there helpless and thought “When did this happen?”.

Taking control
After that moment I decided that I must do something about it. I will embrace my age but I will also be proactive and work to diminish and slow down the appearance of my ageing skin. I realize that, like most women, I’ll probably never be at peace with my wrinkles, but I know there is something out there to help me decrease their appearance and help get my confidence back.

Getting Younger Looking Skin Isn’t Magic

I learned about the different methods to combat ageing skin. I don’t fancy needles, so I looked into various non-invasive options. At first, I considered a chemical peel, but my skin is sensitive, and I was worried about it being too irritating. The spa that I went to suggested maybe doing microdermabrasion instead. I tried one session but I didn’t feel like the results lasted as long as I wanted (and having frequent treatments was going to get pricey).

At lunch one day a friend mentioned RF treatments but those were also expensive, and my schedule is too tight to continuously go to appointments. This led me to start looking for at-home alternatives which is when I discovered RF technology devices that were available for home use. I was ecstatic! Quickly I began to research some different options and decided to purchase the brilliant Sensilift. This device grabbed my attention because it uses Dynamic RF technology, a mix of regular RF combined with a massage that stimulates the tissue below the skin. I learned that our collagen production diminishes as we age which is what causes wrinkles and sagging skin. RF technology works by boosting collagen production to counteract this and make skin look younger. Of course, I was skeptical at first, but after only one month the compliments started. “You look great” and “Did you take a vacation? You look so refreshed.”, were common reactions as people began noticing a difference in my appearance. It was clear I wasn’t the only one to see the improvement in my skin’s texture. I was thrilled!

A whole new me

My Sensilift is now the highlight of my skincare routine. After using it for just a few short weeks my confidence was back. 5 minutes just once a week helped me to diminish my crow’s feet, sagging skin and fine lines. It was amazing! When I put my cosmetics on now, they just easily glide onto my skin just like they did in my 30’s.

Now that my skin looks years younger it’s like my outer self reflects how I feel inside. You know what they say, if you look good you feel good. I’m less shy when I go out and I’ve even found myself being more friendly and chatty with new people which is so unlike me. After I turned 40 my confidence started to fall. I used to hate how I looked in photographs and seeing myself in the mirror but now I can’t wait to stand and smile in front of the camera and be proud of how I look.
