No more overdosing on garlic. It was now a nutty story. Got myself a few kilos of nuts which I sat and mixed. Kept them in a strategic locations: not too far away that I would forget to have them, nor too to binge. Also remembered to freeze the walnuts before they became rancid.

“Thank you Collagen,” I would think or mutter under my breath as I continued with staring into my laptop screen.

“Six weeks,” Dr. K had said. Today was the first day of the six weeks later.

I was overjoyed to feel and actually see the results of the first week on my skin.

Suddenly as I sat at my laptop keying in words, I would feel a tightening crawl through my face and I would have to smile.

“Thank you Collagen,” I would think or mutter under my breath as I continued with staring into my laptop screen.

“Time for a nut snack,” Collagen would ping in a reminder. “Remember just a small handful. We don’t want you getting fat.” Collagen knew my passion of the nutty kind.

Today was my last date with Exilis. By now the probe and Collagen were friends. Even the Chennai Plastic Surgery technician could not stop raving at the way Collagen was responding to Exilis.

Dr. K met me with one big smile. “Go dazzle the world,” he said, instantly making me feel beautifully younger.

“High time,” Collagen whispered, making my skin tighten a tiny bit more.
