Today, I want to share a compelling and educational story about my client, Steven, a professional bodybuilder whose life was dramatically impacted by shingles, a virus often underestimated in its severity.
A Challenging Journey
Steven’s ordeal began in 2020 during a particularly stressful period, which unfortunately triggered a severe immune response. Imagine a scenario so intense that it resembled prosthetic makeup from a thriller film – that was the reality of Steven’s condition. His face, usually the picture of health due to his conscientious lifestyle, was marred by severe tissue and nerve damage. The diagnosis was slow, and by the time appropriate treatment commenced, the damage was extensive, leading to lasting scars and loss of sensation on the left side of his face and distorted vision in his right eye.
You might think this is movie makeup. Wrong. This is the harsh reality of shingles.
The Road to Recovery
Returning to his carpentry career post-recovery was no less challenging. The lack of understanding and insensitive remarks from colleagues only worsened his mental health. Moreover, when the virus reemerged on the left side of his face 9 months later, it was a stark reminder of his ongoing battle. Thankfully, with immediate medical attention, this episode was less damaging but still left visible marks.
Innovative Treatment and Recovery
Fast-forward to today, and Steven has not only recovered but has also undergone a transformative treatment in our clinic. We chose a gentle yet effective approach involving fibre separation with a blunt-tipped cannula and Neauvia Stimulate for Men, a Biostimulator that enhances collagen and elastin production while hydrating and brightening the skin. This treatment, costing £295 per session, offers a youthful glow without resorting to invasive procedures like dermal fillers.
Before and After: A Picture of Success
Below, you’ll find before and after photos taken 24 hours post-treatment. While some bruising is evident, the improvement is undeniable. Steven’s deep folds have softened, preserving his unique character while restoring symmetry and balance to his facial features.
