Tria - Week 2

shannara · ‎03-10-2010

My skin must be adapting. Level 3 is not so intense anymore. The redness is fading after only 1/2 hour and the burning is only in the more tender spots. I am starting to feel a bit of the sandpaper but I have to be very close to the magnifying mirror to actually see it. I think I'll use PTR peeling gel in the morning. That will be much more gentle than the Dermappeal.

Continue to be surprised that my neck takes it so well. I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to stand it there.

Hi shannara, Good to hear that you are tolerating Level 3 now. I have been seeing these festoons under my eyes, that I never had before. I am thinking of stopping the Tria under the eye area and hope it clears up. I also have the PTR peel and I will use that this morning. I have so many things that I forget what I have.

G'Morning, shannara and snowball! I'm curious if a jade roller or facial globes would help reduce or eliminate the festoons. I awoke with swelling on the top of each cheekbone for the first time today.

I am either going to use my globes after my LED treatment this morning or I am going to use Yonka's Phyto Contour as an eye mask. Heck, I may do both, lol.

My festoons appeared not too long ago when I wasn't "doing" anything except rolling 1 x month. I don't know if you saw the post I cut and pasted from EDS, but according to them, it doesn't seem to worsen them, and maybe improve a bit.

It makes sense to avoid the area, but I really want to treat those areas for the lines/crosshatching.

Decisions, decisions...

lyn, let me know how this works for you. I am really discouraged at the way my undereye area is looking right now.

It's good to know you are feeling it less. Yesterday and today on my standard level 3, I felt nothing and had almost no redness. I was worried that my machine was a dud and losing steam. Last week, I would feel a warmth on my skin for a good hour or so after treatment and have some redness for a little bit. I was away Saturday and Sunday and didn't use mine, so I expected yesterday to be more tingly. But I felt nothing and had no redness. I am still doing a full 20 minutes at level 3. 10 minutes of a full level 3 rotation on my face (2 1/2 minutes in each zone), then a second Level 3 round on my neck, chest and both hands/top of forearms. I just barely finish the second arm and it starts beeping to charge it. I will say, my sister and I both commented this weekend on how smooth our foundation went on and how much brighter our skin already looks.

Remember to clean it with a cotton swab. That was recommended by Philip on his blog. I know I read something from Tria on how to do it so I'll check that, too. Some people who were on L3 w/no prob found that after cleaning, they had to go back to L2 for a bit.

I do mine after every treatment (with the cotton swab) but not really sure how effective that is.
