Set to the tune of Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “Takin’ Care of Business,” the Czech-born model revealed that she is undergoing the Morpheus 8 treatment and giving a candid review of her experience with it.
"Step two getting ready for a big PR blow out complete with interviews, Tv, magazine shoots and red carpet- I’m trying out micro needling at @drhalaas drHalaas office with @skinlikeb who’s using the Morpheus laser on me," she explained in the caption of her Instagram post. "Morpheus 8 RF is Microneedling for rejuvenation. Stimulates your body’s natural ability to tighten, lift and smooth away the texture. It remodels the skin and creates more collagen and elasticity."
"Chrome laser for an extra step for anti-aging eyes, a nano fractionated Erbium laser to boost the overall rejuvenation result! Series of 3 is recommended and we’re calling this REWYND at Dr Yael Halaas office with Brittany!" she continued. "I’ve tried other lasers in the past, most notably ultherapy, which is super painful. The Morpheus is not all that bad. It does recommend 3 treatments in a month apart installments, so I will do this again when back from Europe and report on my thoughts of this."
"Things that promise an increase of natural collagen always intrigue me. (Hence all the lasers) I have no Botox or fillers, a personal choice because I feel the mobility of my face is one of my assets which allows me to communicate more effectively," she added.
Paulina Feels Torn Between Embracing Her Age And 'Wanting To Still Be Pretty'
"But I am also constantly torn between wanting to embrace my age fully, without shame, wearing my wrinkles and sags with pride and then just - vanity. Wanting to still be pretty. Attractive. Certainly it helps that the man I love thinks I’m the bees knees," she went on, referring to her new relationship with “Will & Grace” showrunner Jeff Greenstein.
"In my head, I think if I wasn’t in the public eye, I’d feel really d*mn good about myself at this point. But the constant scrutiny of my looks makes me, at times, insecure. Especially when I model- which is still mostly my only source of income," she wrote. "So, for me, using the new technology of lasers is a split between accepting my age and still doing something to make myself feel better."
"I could do all this in secret and tell you my beauty tips are clean living," she concluded. "But the truth is: when someone looks good for their age (a phrase I loathe) there is usually more than clean living to it. And I want THEIR secrets! So, I’m giving you mine."
She finished off her caption with the hashtags #lasers, #microneedling, #morpheus8, #betweenjoloandbettywhite, and #vainbutnotashamed.
Fans Can Relate To Paulina Porizkova And Praise Her Transparency!
Many fans and famous friends thanked her for her authenticity. “Wellness Warrior” Kristin Bauer commented, “Same boat. About to investigate lasers. I also feel torn (and a tad ashamed at wanting more youth and beauty) but you know what…why??? If it makes us feel better - why not? F**k…go for it, whatever that is! Life is short.”
“We criticize women no matter what their choices are. And then we criticize them for reacting to the criticism…. Paulina is honest and always offers a thoughtful take on her experiences,” another follower wrote. “Perfectly stated. This is one of the reasons I appreciate Paulina so much (there are others too),” another fan chimed in.
“Nothing wrong with taking care of yourself as you age. There is a difference between aging gracefully while taking care of your skin with modern methods vs trying to cling to youth by erasing every sign of aging you see. Everything in moderation while staying true to who you are at any given age is balance,” another follower shared, which was met with many fans responding, “Exactly!”
