I do laser peels. I love them! There are 2 my plastic surgeon offers, a quickie nano peel, it is called a weekend peel. I have a very fair complexion, I am down a week minimum with it, but I look so good after! Also super cheap, couple hundred. There is a deeper peel, I had it on my nose for some acne scars. It is about $750 a treatment. The laser treatment for the veins is $2500. My varicose veins have greatly improved with yoga and low carb, I also quit wearing heels, including my boots. Flat boots are a trip lol. I do wear support hose sometimes. There are some really nice new ones available by prescription. I team them with a waist trainer sometimes. I joke with dh my under things are gravity defying.
I like my plastic surgeon, like his clinic, I have had a fair bit of work since I quit drinking. I don't hide it, lie about it or apologize for it lol. If I decide I want permanent makeup like Pennywise, I'm going to do it. In some ways sobriety has freed me. Yes I am vain, yes I also eat mayo on my French fries, so what lol.
If you can afford laser treatment go for it. I used laser (cold) and hypnosis to deal with smoking one quit.
