During and after completing Ultherapy and microneedling sessions with Paloma, I vowed I would tell everyone about my outstanding, even “pleasurable” experience with her. And then there was Spring Break. That was mid March, and now it’s early May. The vow keeps pricking my mind, and I just realized, this is actually a very good time to follow through with it.
I should begin by saying I’ll be 70yo in November, so I’ve not been generating collagen several decades now, and gravity has taken its toll. My lower face was beginning to sag, and my neck was getting the “turkey flap.” The skin along my jawline had loosened, and the marionette lines around my mouth were deepening. I had dimpling in the chin area, and I don’t even have dimples! What to do? I’d filled them before and wasn’t thrilled. Filler is a tricky thing with me; maybe because I’m thin skinned or simply because I’m older? I’m vain and wasn’t liking the way I looked, but what to do when you don’t have the pocketbook for a face lift, or even just a lower face and neck lift?
After consulting with our cherished Dr. Wright, it was decided I’d best be able to reach my goals with separate sessions of both Ultherapy and Microneedling. She paired me with Paloma, and wow, how could an Ultherapy session ever be described as “pleasurable?”
Paloma is one of the most engaging, amusing,
compassionate, and PROFESSIONAL souls ever. She’s also VERY SKILLED and VERY FOCUSED. How is she so attentive, fun and kind while remaining so intense, concentrating on her work at hand?
Throughout the session, I wondered how we could chat so easily as she simultaneously passed the wand that delivered energy waves into to the deeper levels of skin, and calmly reassuring me all the while? She carefully navigated the whole of my face and neck, section by section, always attentive to what the screen was cuing, while keeping me distracted from the “pings.” I’d had this procedure once before with Dr. Jessica, perhaps a decade ago, but I didn’t recall it being this intense. I guess ten years changes things, or maybe the way I experience them?
Paloma deliberately told me ahead of time which areas would be more sensitive, and she’d talk me through them with her soft voice and engaging conversation. She used words to encourage me: “One more quick one here,” or “next I’ll be working here, and it will be easier for you.” We spoke about the areas that especially bothered me, and she passed the wand delivering heat energy, and focusing more on those concerns.
I don’t have enough knowledge about Ultherapy to speak too confidently, but Paloma may have said the wand signaled where to direct more heat, and she did so either by making another pass or by increasing the intensity of the energy waves?
What I DO know is that it’s 2 months later, and I’m FEELING and VISIBLY SEEING the results! I know if I return someday, I’ll be seeing Paloma! Needless to say, I am very pleased,
grateful, and happy with the results! Thank you so much, Paloma, and thank you, Dr. Jessica!
