On her own skin: the British woman experienced the effects of fashionable cosmetic procedures

Who knows more about beauty than the editor of the beauty section of a women's magazine? 50-year-old Ingeborg van Lotringen has experienced many cosmetic procedures on her own skin in the truest sense of the word over a long career. Creams, masks and beauty injections: the British woman used the tips and life hacks of stars who look flawless on red carpets. The journalist decided to share her impressions about the results and consequences of glamorous experiments with her readers.

Ingeborg Van Lotringen has been working as an editor of beauty sections in glossy magazines for 25 years. During this time, she managed to try a huge number of methods and means for skin tightening, which promise youth. Laser, filaments and chemical peels: all the forces were thrown into the fight for a beautiful appearance. As a rule, our heroine was quite satisfied with the result.

The editor has experienced the procedures that celebrities go through to look flawless under the camera flashes. Despite the visible effect, she decided to honestly tell her readers about the consequences. To demonstrate how the skin actually looks, Ingeborg took photos immediately after the procedures and after recovery.

Bruises, bumps and spots-that's the price of "star" beauty. Nevertheless, the British woman says that in most cases the result was worth it.

After the procedure, Ingeborg looked like a plague victim. An intensive moisturizer mixed with polynucleotides is injected under the skin by injection. The molecules of the substance cause the cells to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid.

The substance is injected with six to eight injections into the face or neck. The journalist did this procedure in the neck area. Immediately after the procedure, large painful bumps formed at the site of the injections. However, after a few days, the solution was distributed under the skin. After a longer time, the skin became more hydrated and elastic, so Ingeborg says that all the inconveniences that she had to endure were worth such a result.

Thin blue lines on the skin. With this procedure, you can tighten the skin of the face, the jaw line, even out wrinkles in the corners of the lips and even correct the curvature of the neck. Up to 40 ultra-thin surgical threads are inserted under the skin of the face or neck, which stimulate the production of collagen, tighten and tighten the skin.

Immediately after the procedure, the negative consequences were minimal and passed within two weeks. However, the results were also not impressive, especially for such money-1200 pounds (about 122,000 rubles).

Like bees stung! The preparation with hyaluronic acid is injected into the deep layers of the skin for long-term moisturizing and smoothing effect. In total, more than a hundred injections are made, after which the person looks for some time as if he was attacked by a swarm of bees.

Ingeborg says that the bumps and blood spots went off for a whole week. Nevertheless, she is happy with the final result — her face shone for four months. Now the British woman repeats the procedure twice a year.

After this procedure, Ingeborg's thighs looked like raw steak. The so-called body contouring is very popular with glamorous stars. The cosmetologist freezes fat deposits, destroying only fat cells. The result is preserved for three months.

At first, the British woman's thighs were covered with red and blue spots, but they almost disappeared after a few hours. She is delighted with the effect, which, moreover, turned out to be very long-lasting.

Burns around the eyes. Chemical peeling of medium strength affects the inner layer of the skin-the dermis, without affecting the upper layer. The acid-based gel is injected through three layers of the skin using an applicator to avoid microtrauma, stimulate early recovery and increase the production of collagen.

To achieve the desired result, you need to do three procedures. The gel is applied to the area around the eyes and lips to get rid of fine wrinkles and make the skin more radiant. But in Ingeborg's case, something went wrong, and she had chemical burns around her eyes.

The bruises did not go away for several months. The procedure is designed to combat sagging skin and superficial cellulite. The device directs radio frequency energy deep under the skin with the help of small needles. This helps to dilute fat, soften and tighten the skin and minimizes the appearance of cellulite.

The journalist performed the procedure on the upper part of the legs. Since her skin is prone to bruising, they did not go away for several months.

The bruises did not go away for two weeks. A moisturizing vitamin solution is injected under the eyes to eliminate dark circles, bags and fine wrinkles.

In most cases, clients get the desired effect, but Ingeborg was left with red bruises for a long time, because her blood vessels were damaged. The woman had to hide the results of an unsuccessful procedure under a layer of cosmetics for two whole weeks.

Meanwhile, the Briton spent 30,000 pounds (about 3 million rubles) on plastic procedures to become an Instagram star. A young man wants to look perfect without using filters and in real life.
