Like many women her age, Betsy Cantor liked to lie in the sun when she was younger. And she did it a lot. Now at the age of 50, Betsy says her years of sun worshipping have caught up to her. “My skin is wrinkled and discolored.”
Betsy, a mother of two, enjoys exercising, shopping, reading, and spending time with family and friends. She has worked as a marriage and family therapist and a clinical dance/movement therapist for 25 years. She has a private practice with children and families, and consults in early childhood education centers.
During the past year, Betsy kept looking in the mirror and seeing her mom, rather than the youthful woman she felt herself to be. As she enters the second phase of her life, Betsy wanted to regain a more youthful appearance. That was especially important to her with her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah approaching at the end of the year. Betsy would be reunited with old friends and family at the celebration. “My dream is for my face to glow on that day and reflect the youth and vitality I feel inside. It will be a new beginning.”
Betsy is well on her way to that new beginning after the third Fraxel Laser Treatment. She says her skin looks and feels completely different. Her brown spots are gone and she has regained a pink coloring after years of a dull, beige tone. Betsy spent years searching for the perfect skin treatment only to throw money away. “It’s a great feeling to look good without any effort and not to worry about makeup,” says Betsy. Her younger looks are also affecting how she feels, . “I feel lighter, freer and more confident. Because of that I am able to impact everyone around me in a more positive way.”
