@Jk9 I googled in my area too who is using Ellacor procedure.

I found one PS pretty close.

It is way too soon for me as I just had cool peel and do not need it.

However if everything goes ok into next year (I would like to see some reviews on it as well)

I might just give it a try. Since having the "cool peel" treatments

I do not think I will need 3 treatments. I would try "1" though.

But let's wait for the reviews first.

Oh, when I have time next week I'm going to call PS office and ask about it. lol. Kind of egg him on.

With these procedures you won't feel lany needle's pricking you.

Lasers are popping and I hardly feel them. Like little pricks.

I still don't know much about this but @SilleeMee will fill us in if she does the research. Please, Silli!

Did you watch the video on Ellacor dot com? That shows what it does to the skin plus they have some info to read on that site also.

No I did not @SilleeMee thanks and I will tonight.

What do you think about it?

I like to give things a year or two to witness reviews before I enter into them.

The principal behind it seems plausible. Skin is removed in small amounts so it's like having a micro-facelift w/o cutting. Makes sense to me but it I suspect the downtime is long.

Thanks @SilleeMee I agree with you 100 percent. But what's a little downtime? Just relax, read, watch some favorite tv shows.

Better than those scar's with the cutting into the hairline and around the ears.

Yes, they do fade with time but this is just my opinion, a facelift or upper necklift will pull you up and leave you quite gaunt.

There is no volume to the face and so on top of the hefty price tag, you have to fill in the hollow after they pull you tight constantly.

Anyway, I will follow this new Ellaco (by the way they do it for the neck too) over the next year or two god willing.

I haven't read this entire thread of comments, but haven't seen the discussion of safety.

There is some info out there that there can be damage to eyes, retinas, even with eye proteciton.

I recently bought a mask on Amazon, $100, that got great reviews as a dupe for the $300+ Omnilux. Then happened to see some articles about these masks' possiblility of eye damage. Was going to my eye doc the next day and he advised against it, unless done by a certified doc in an office with FDA approved equipmen. He said he has heard where retinas can be damaged. It may be rare, but still made me press pause on it.

I did another post somewhere last week on this. But I was just doing a search here now to see if it's safety's ever been discussed.

I'm going to return mine for now, as I'm just skittish to use it. But so many women do use them. Of course the influencers getting paid by Omnilux rave about results. "Real people", like here, seems to be mixed.

I have a few influencers I follow and like, but it kind of turns me off to the whole influencer thing...when I brought up safety of course my comment was taken down...they're getting paid, they can't have you say negative things I guess. But that's a lesson learned that that info they give is skewed due to them getting paid. A no brainer, but often they do seem sincere. I guess it's like anything else people are selling...a degree of truth...but definitely slanted, when you're being paid to endorse.

I take all the "influencer" stuff out there with a grain of salt and am not easily swayed, watch usually for entertainment, do my own research etc...but I'd been wanting to try one of those LED lights for a while, that's why I went for it. Until...the doc appt.

@amyb I have worried about eye damage from using the Omnilux mask. I purchased one about six months before my DD's wedding two years ago (and stuck to my diet!....I was on a roll) and used it daily.

However the light is so bright I stopped using it at one point with the intention to do more research on it but never did.

Yes, I just feel for now, I can't keep this. Even if it's rare, who wants to take the chance! I guess I'm still curious, that's why I've still been Googling articles etc...not a ton of bad info about the eye damage, or at least I just haven't read a lot yet, compared to all the people hyping these masks, and reviewing them as users.

But...I'm just not that gal who's ever not taken one tiny bit of a "scare" and run with it. Lol. Not worth it. I mean, I get it...my doctor is NEVER going to tell me "it's ok" when he's heard any, no matter how rare, any issue with it. Didn't expect he would. But also, him recommending in office "FDA approved" treatments over this, and I get that ...still, these days can't even always trust the FDA. So, all to say....I'll stick to the best skincare I can do for now. I'm not risking my eyes!! Too bad though...I was thinking I was about to try a game changer. Oh well.

Btw @haddon9 you didn't say...did you see results in the time you used it??
