Ishaan Johnson, a 42-year-old financial analyst,...
Ishaan Johnson, a 42-year-old financial analyst, had been working 70-hour weeks for months to close a major deal. The chronic stress and poor sleep manifested as persistent, severe puffiness under his eyes that made him look perpetually exhausted. Despite using every over-the-counter cream and cold compress, the swelling wouldn't subside, affecting his confidence in client meetings. His internist, Dr. Chen, recommended a series of targeted corticosteroid injections to reduce the inflammatory fluid retention, explaining it was a physical sign of his body's stress overload. The in-office procedure was quick, with mild pinching sensations. Over the next week, the puffiness dramatically decreased. Ishaan felt a visible weight lifted, not just from his face but from his self-perception. The experience was a wake-up call; he began therapy for stress management, seeing the procedure not as vanity but as the first step in addressing his health holistically.
