41c was the temp we aimed for in clinic, and maintaining it for at least a minute. Now its 3 minutes, that good to know. I worked in a medspa, im an RN/esthetician. I cant remember the name of the machine! Lol It had 3 hand pieces. Face, under eye and body. I really like that fliir camera!!
I am a loyal loyal subscriber since I’ve seen this video! Thank you, thank you so much! I have a big machine, one of the large ones,and I was afraid to start using it, until I knew what I was doing! Please keep these videos coming like this!
@@Jordansoftplayadventures ideally you want to hold it at around 41c for a minimum of 2 minutes per area, but it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
As always I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these reviews and the level of detail you go into, the thermal imaging camera is a brilliant idea!! I would love to know if the body attachment does indeed work when it is plugged in.
Thank you, TJ! You always explain things so well, and I love the science and experimentation to show that devices actually do what they claim. You are the best!
when i had this done professionally she always did a lot of sweeps and circles at the sides of my face and neck as well as over my lines as she said doing the sides will act like a pull on the skin and work against any sagging 😊
Thank you for this video it’s really helpful to know if I’m wasting money on in clinic treatment… I would prefer to do it at home if I can.. save way more money
Wonderful! I have the same RF and it’s always so great to see how to do my own treatments! I love that you tell us how many times a week starting out and then how to work up through the weeks to every 8 weeks to maintain what you have!! Your awesome! I love watching your channel!! Just a question … do you know how long to wait to RF after you’ve put in facial threads! I put in 20 in the jowls and neck and I’m bruised so don’t want to damage any healing at this point! Thank you in advance! ❤️
Hi. So with PDO threads, you want to wait around a month for them to settle. After this, they will already be starting to break down and the RF can help boost collagen around them.
This is my first time to watch this video about RF and your explanation is simple and clear. How do I order these products. Send me a link to where I can buy these products. Thank you
Hi Yael, the best way to combine RF with threads is to give a good 4 weeks between threads and RF to minimise any early destruction of them. After this point, RF will work with them to boost collagen in the entire area treated.
I’d really like to see you teaching how to use the rf device on the higher / upper cheek area . I have malar bags ( mild) and need to do something about them
Hi Cat. I don't use RF on the upper cheeks as a general rule as I don't want to disturb the fat I have there. RF would not be ideal for the malar pads as it could exasperate them or cause uneven fat loss. The best thing IMO would be a combination of threads and mesotherapy.
The geek in me really like this!! Does it do the same with the HIFU? I am curious! I was already sold the this device, bought it as per your recommendation long time ago! Thank you for doing this, very interesting and informative!
Hey lovely I tried it with the Hifu, but the action of the two frequencies makes it hard to see. The hifu shot is very narrow and targeted. The other thing is that the mini hifu also has RF built-in, so again, it's hard to see the hifu heat vs that.
Thank you, this is extremely useful. How long should I use the machine for in one session for my entire face? I don't have the temperature device to know the heat level.
I am a newbie here and I decided to subscribe after loving your video . I have to say …….disappointed on how little reply or answers you give your subscribers . I had some questions but I think they’ll fall on deaf ears . No worries , I still be watching . Thanks
I work a full-time job, run a home, care for an elderly grandparent, try to take care of my mental health AND run a youtube channel, Facebook account and Instagram account by MYSELF. I appreciate People have questions, but I am not your doctor or dermatologist. It is not my job to answer every single question - there are not enough hours in the day for me to do that. And even if I could, it wouldn't be healthy. Sometimes, I don't know the answer or its something I've covered in the video already. I have over 100 videos on my channel, each needing answers at times. Please try to remember that as much as I love you guys, I'm only human and there's only so much I can do. I'm sorry I'm not superhuman or with a team of professionals to manage things for me. 😔
Hi Tj. So as long as we heat to only 41 degrees. (heard that it’s atleast 40 Celsius) but regardless. When do we need to worry about losing fat if we thin faced. Just need skin tightening? What is the temp needed for treatment of the fats ?? Like when used on the body? Thank you.
I just found your channel and I love your informative videos! I have the tripolar stop and I'm just a little worried about fat loss. Do you have any advice on how to avoid any fat loss in the face? Thanks!
I would say to go slow and low (low intensity, treatments spread out by a minimum of 6 weeks.) that way, you can increase both and see where your threshold is without causing any ongoing fatloss.
Love love love your videos! Have you heard of a device called Evyn Skin Lumo which has RF in addition to other skin mechanisms. I wonder if the heat you used on your skin would be safe for darker skin?
Hi Mo Jo. I have the Lumo and have made videos demonstrating it. RF is safe to use on all skin tones. The only thing to be aware of is if you are prone to melasma, which the heat RF generates could make worse.
Hi dear TJ, I just got this machine which I intend to use mostly on the body. Did you ever use it on your body as well? BTW do you see an improvement in the skin quality, I mean like clearer, plumper and more glowy skin after using it? Thank you! I have also bought some PDRN vials and I'm thinking to use them after RF...
Hi. I personally prefer the flat head as it covers a single, larger area rather than multiple small ones. It makes it easy to feel what you're doing and gives improved heat penetration, imho 😊
Hi Faith Bates, I did. To get the body probe to work, you have to push and hold the intensity button down and it will beep twice, then it's good to go with the large probe.
Hi TJ thank you so much for your beautiful videos I always watch your channel and where can I get this machine? I need some info and the name of the machine please?
Questions TJ. Do home RF devices melt fat in the face? I want the skin tightening but really don’t want to lose anymore fat off my face than I already have. Also can RF affect threads in the face? What kind of time period would you allow between doing threads & an RF treatment? Apologies if I’ve asked too many questions 🙏🏽
Hey Shaz Home RF devices are highly unlikely to cause facial fat loss. WHen compared to professional machines that achieve temperatures of upwards of 90C, they are much gentler. If used conservatively (not every day) there should be little to no issues. I personally found that when I used pdo threads in the past, waiting 4 weeks was sufficient.
HiFu has two small RF plates on it along with the HiFu plate, so it will do the same type of thing. It all depends on the heat it creates in the lower layers of the skin though. I'm going to test mine to see if it gets hot enough or not? 🙂
Glad your settled and back TJ. I have the same machine, however, l am worried that using it will cause fat loss in the face in addition to building collagen. The last thing l need is fat loss. Are you able to clarify for me. Thank you xx
As Broomstick Betty said, facial fat loss is something that ahppens with overuse. Low and slow is always the best way to begin, then increase treatment and intensity as you become more comfortable.
I almost pulled the trigger on one of these home use devices until I read a few horrible stories. These are women who are older who don't have a lot of fat in their faces - rather longer, thinner faces but were wrinkled. They describe where what little fat they did have in their faces were removed and they wound up worse off because now their wrinkles were so much worse. Is there any work around to this? Is it because they were using the various machines too regularly? The before/afters look really great if the woman had a much fuller face - I'm not one of those people - I've got a thinner face - higher cheek bones.
Hi Sandy W. Overuse is definitely a huge risk for facial fat loss. The stories I've read online have been about professional machines used in clinic. These reach far higher temperatures, so the risk is there with them. I've been using RF for over two years now and have not experienced any fat loss, dropping or other issues. I think maybe they were the wrong candidates for the treatment and it exasperated their already lacking support and structure.
Hey TJ! Turning 44 tomorrow. Did a 30% and 35% TCA peel in the last six months. That really helped sun damage. But would you recommend this for sagging jowls and wrinkles over TCA peels? You are looking fab by the way! xoxo
Hey Teri. First of all, happy birthday for tomorrow! 🎂🎈🎉🎊🪅 RF has been amazing for me and has really built up my collagen and elastin levels since I started using it. Peels are more for revealing fresher skin, so it's the uppermost layers. RF forces your body to create type 3 collagen, which is replaced by that much-wanted type 1 collagen over time. I love peel, but I use a combination approach that works from the inside and in the deepest layers to to most superficial ones. 🙂
Hi TJ, thanks for the clear, informative videos. Was just hoping you could clarify something, I've bought a cavitation / radio frequency machine online... The RF body head does feel hot to the touch, does this mean it's not true RF? Should it always feel cold to the touch? Would a thermometer (like the gun style ones) read the skin temperature accurately? Thanks so much if you can help xxxx
Hi Christina Rose. The RF heads should never feel hot to the touch and should feel cool (unless you've been using it on the skin for more than 10 minutes and it's warm to the touch right after). The reason for this is because RF generates heat as it passes through the skin cells and not from the device itself.
Thanks, TJ!! Would definitely like you to compare this device with the Tipollar you reviewed awhile back. The temperature autosensing feature of the Tripollar is attractive, but is it accurate? Is it worth paying hundreds more? If the only way to verify a device is to buy a $200 camera, then it makes Tripollar more attractive. Could you use a different heat sensing device? I bought a device to heat map areas of my house that need more insulation. I wonder if that would work.
Hey Justin Falk. I would do this, but I returned the Tripollar because it just didn't feel like it was worth the price for what it did. It also hurt, so I made a return. I'm sure the temperature autosensing worked well, but it just didn't match what I am used to.
Thank you so much !! by now i'm so in doubt about at home led devices, like masks, and realy dont find anyone able to perform a test to see if they are real ones or not, especialy the cheaper ones, just hear some cosmetologists sayng that the wave is not the correct one , that just the big professional painels really work.
Hi. I actually prefer the NIR bulbs on Amazon instead of the masks. They are pretty affordable, last longer and are way more powerful. Panels are great too, but pricey IMO.
@@TJTutorials thanks for your reply, but these NIR bulbs are the same ones used in physiotherapy to treat rheumatism or back pain? the ones who produce heat?
@@cristinacaroline they don't produce heat. Of course, there's a little bit of residual warmth when touching them, but otherwise, they are considered as non-heat bulbs.
Oi Cristina, vc fala Português? Desculpa me meter na conversa, mas tem uma RU-vidr americana que considero muito especial pois ela é muito criteriosa nas escolhas dela, seu nome é Angie e o canal é HotandFlashy - só colocar Led Mask e vc verá várias análises dela sobre - boa sorte!!🥰
What level on your RF machine did you use to get to the proper temp on your skin ? (Using the reg small probe on your cheek, not the 3 prong probe) Thanks for your help.
Hi Tj...enjoy all your videos.... Can you plz tell me... I read olive oil is an alternative to the gel... Only coZ the gel dries up too quickly and gets messy on body...I'm looking for an alternative
Hey :) Olive oil wouldn't really work. Oil deflects the frequency (a bit like light against a mirror) If your gel dries to quickly, spray some water on it to wet it again.
Hey Rebecca, it all depends on what your main goals are. Once every two weeks is ok if the intensity is not on maximum. I use mine once every 6-8 weeks, but I go maximum intensity,
I bought the same machine you have (through your affiliate link) except mine only came with 2 flat disk probes. I have a high pain tolerance, but I can't stand going above level 3. Is it just something I have to work up to? I've had the machine for 2 weeks and used it 3 times. Also, you said you added salt to your gel, doesn't that pull the water out of it and make it runny? Thank goodness for your tutorials b/c the manual translation is awful.
Hi :) level three is definitely a good place to be with the flat probes. As they cover a larger surface area, the heat is way more noticeable. If that's your limit, stick with it. Salt only draws moisture out if left to sit. Sea salt is actually a great conditioner for the skin and boosts conductivity.
It largely depends on what you are wanting to achieve. I use mine once every 6 - 8 weeks to maintain my results and keep my collagen levels high without destroying any facial fat.
would it be more effective to use a heating pad to heat up the skin to a high heat prior to using this machine to heat up your skin to increase the effectiveness? Also, what made you pick this machine over others within the same price point?
I prefer to allow the device to heat the skin as RF is designed to penetrate into the mid-layers of the skin and applying surface heat could give false readings of what's actually going on inside. I bought this machine when I was living in Portugal and it was on offer on Amazon.ES. I took a chance on it and it turned out to be an amazing buy. Of course, not everyone loves it, but for me it gets the job done and didn't break the bank.
Thank you for this! I purchased a 40k cavitation and RF machine. Do you hear a very loud, high pitch buzzing when using yours? Mine is so loud that I’m a little worried my machine is broken 😔
I only hear the noise when I use the cavitation. When I do RF Just feel heat an some zinging when I leave it on an are a too long or use it at a high setting on my face. The noise with the cavitation is normal and what you want to hear with cavitation.
Do you tested the mini hifu if it really get 40 degrees at 1,2,3 level, i have it but dont feel like its real what u think? I tryd it on plastic with gel but it did not got a burned hole or mini damage non ! Not like the professionals test does damaged mini priks!... please answer me, i use it 2 times a week . moving it because it just hurts. Thankyou love xxxx
Hello sweat, thank for this vidéo Can i loose hello sweaty, i have the radio frequency machine with 40k head for fat removal, i want to know please if it is possible to decrease my cheek fat with the ultrasonic head? 3 years ago the surgeon injected me with too much of my own cheek fat and I find it like a hamsert 😥
Hi Heidi antros. You lose fat cells at 107 - 116°F 41°c, but short treatments of a few minutes in each area should only have a tiny impact - if any at all.
