Re: Tria: Week 10 / Recovery Week 2

Deb0360, I got the Tria when it was TSV and started treatment on April 1. I used level 1 for a day and moved up to level 2 and in about 4 days went to level 3. I couldn't to the 7 day protocol. My skin would stay too red. Some weeks I only did 4 days. I read somewhere that if you skin is still red, skip a treatment.

I've decided to stop my treatment also. I've got 20 days till the 90 days is up. So almost 3 weeks should be enough time to see if a difference or not. That is IF this shortened treatment time was long enough.

One suggestion I would make for all of you trying to decide if you think you want to keep it or not. Try and watch one of the latest video presentations and listen closely to the Tria Rep. I was a little surprised when I watched her maybe 2 weeks ago now when she was on with Lisa. She talked about the really visible improvements that would be seen around the orbital area of the eye while the rest of the face would see tone and texture improvements. I guess I was surprised with how she kind of glossed over Tria's impact on facial skin being significant while really stressing the eye area changes.

Watching the whole presentation and listening to her might also help you decide is kind of what I was thinking. It's a big decision for sure so thought all the help you can get would be invaluable.

Okay, I'm not getting what you're thinking. And I know it's me, not you -- and as soon as you tell me I'll be gobsmacked that I didn't grasp it. So....?

I've heard her talk about the orbital area, too (maybe the same presentation you're referring to). She was emphasizing it so much that fleetingly I wondered if that's the only area they submitted to the FDA for clearance. But then I realized they DO say to use it all over the face, so I don't understand why the extra attention to the orbital area. Maybe that's what you're going to enlighten me about. :-)

Since the skin is thinner on the orbital area, that is probably where you would see noticeable visible changes, more so than any other part of the face.

It's just an educated reasoning. Maybe wackers has something else in mind.
