My journey to self-improvement continues this year!
That is, if malaise and time constraints don’t come knocking on my door — we’ll see. I was born in the Year of the Rabbit and counting on luck being on my side this 2023.
Gaining weight during the pandemic has taken a toll on my self-esteem. Despite my eagerness to love the body and skin that I have now, it’s still difficult to process the changes.
But, as life continues, so does a lifetime’s worth of chances to work on the changes I want for myself, which should be the case for everyone as well.
To be honest, I’m not a very athletic person. I would rather lay down all day and read a good book or watch a feel-good series. Nothing could be less helpful to losing weight.
Thank God for Science, though!
Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovation uses state-of-the-art machines.
This writer chanced upon Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovation, a skin and laser institute that not only wants its clients to look good on the outside, but also on the inside, by providing premium skin, body, and wellness solutions custom-fit to each of its clients.
Clinical dermatologist Dr. Kaycee Reyes helms this clinic with the staunch advocacy of holistic well-being. She introduced the new offerings of Luminsice and was kind enough to give guests a first-hand experience of the machines.
break down fatty cells.
Upon assessment and telling her about which parts I’m most conscious about, Dr. Kaycee pointed out my problem areas — chin, arms, and stomach, as well as weight loss.
Given it was my first time to undergo an aesthetic procedure, it was a little nerve-wracking but they made sure everything was smooth sailing.
For my chin, they did Lipo Dissolve by numbing my chin area and injecting liquid throughout. It claims to break down the fatty cells in the injection site and must be done for several sessions in order to see the full effect. They also used a machine that melts fatty cells.
For my arms, they used an RF machine which serves the same purpose as the one used on my chin.
As I only went through one session each, there weren’t any drastic results. However, it gave a glimpse of the outcome should I continue with multiple sessions.
It’s easy to say “Be kind to yourself” or “Accept who you are,” but at the end of the day, it’s not just about being content with what you have. Wanting to undergo procedures or even working out religiously is also a form of kindness and self-acceptance.
Everyone should foster the mindset of change and how it is inevitable. Let this be the year where we burst the bubble we had built to protect ourselves from life’s stressors.
