I think most people would expect that after 35 years, you’d see more loose skin, more loss of collagen, a saggy jawline—or at the very least, you’d look older. And from those who try to “look younger” we see disasters: botched facelifts, frozen faces that are overfilled with fillers, and unnaturally plumped-up cheeks. Let’s face it, we’ve seen it all.

With that in mind, let me show you something different—myself at 35 vs. 71. No surgery, no needles, no toxins, no fillers. We simply did what we do best at Precision Aesthetics. I started Thermage treatments in 2007. In my fifties, I might have done one or two. In my mid-sixties, I started doing it every other year, and now, I do it twice a year, along with Exilis, Emface, and Silk Peel.

I don’t mind revealing it because it takes a lot of skill and at least 20 years experience to operate these devices optimally. Thermage is a powerful deep radiofrequency device. Few people, if any, can operate it optimally for the best results. Very few have Silk Peel to infuse vitamins into the skin, or Exilis to add a little extra skin tightening. Even fewer have Emface—and know how to adjust it perfectly. You’d be surprised how different the left and right sides of your face are. There are countless vectors involved: the right temperatures, the number of pulses with all of the decvices I mentioned. I’ve read horror stories about people losing collagen in their cheeks or even getting burned.

A famous Beverly Hills plastic surgeon admitted to me they don’t even perform Thermage treatments. Another friend doesn’t use Ulthera. It’s a catch-22: the medical devices that get the best results can also make a mess out of your face. And no, the board-certified doctor is the last person you want treating you. Think about it—he or she is busy with surgeries or injectables. Do you really think they operate these technologies every day? Of course not. The Doctor is the least experienced person at the practice, when it comes to operating these technologies. They didnt go to medical school to operate these technologies.

Anyway, here I am—great results from a great combination of treatments. No retouching or anything, just a selfie in my living room vs. a photo a friend sent me.
