The New Facial; Electrocution!

It sounded worth trying.  Until I did.

It's pretty hard to keep up with all the anti-aging, facial opportunities out there.  The topic seems to be included in most fashion magazines, in dermatologist offices and around the dinner table when out with girlfriends.  I have several friends who actively pursue the latest procedures, serums, masks and facial products. In fact they are absolutely obsessed.  A few friends have tried the electro-current treatments and swear by the results.  Recharged skin tone, pores and collagen and an amazing glow.  The process involves electro-current delivered with a range of currents.  My girlfriend told me it wasnt a big deal, didn't hurt and wasn't horribly expensive.  I reluctantly decided to give it a go.  The facialist explained the procedure and it all sounded fine.  Until it wasn't.  She gave me a tester blast to the forehead and it felt like a static electricity blast along with the feeling like nails were being scraped on a blackboard.
 I don't give a shit about the benefits.  If I wanted a rush like that,  I could go to the dentist.  Too bad the dental drill doesn't boost collagen.  After I released my death grip on the table, I respectfully took a pass on the treatment.  But I am wondering, what's next??

    I say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think I'm no beauty then quit beholding me . Shock the wrinkles , hell just looking in the mirror these days is a shock but someone had to test it out, glad it was you Rob *s*

    You're right, maybe the shock of looking in the mirror can be the latest fad in facials and anti-aging, if I could only see in the mirror without the glasses!
