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

I did a 20 minute mask w/ Yonka Phyto Contour and it helped reduce the swelling. I applied it on my entire eye area and the "festoons".

lyn, I guess I better try that then. Where is the best place to get this and price? And can't wait to read that review. THANKS

You did lyn??? Are you going to use your globes? Will you let me know how this works for you?? Thanks so much!!! I never had these and I certainly want them gone!

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.

Hi Lyn, old friend....been away for awhile, but following this thread.

I do not have the gizmo, however I can say that when I use my Light Stim too much on the under eye, it seems to dehydrate a bit causing festoons to appear. Perhaps that is what you all are experiencing due to the heat level?......just thinking.

Also....another vote for Yonka...while I do not have the one you mentioned, I do have the Phyto 52 firming cream....love, love.....learned of this line many years ago from a Russian esthetician. I left her place looking awesome and finally asked what the products were and have used that one for awhile now. Nice non-chemical type line, but there is a strong scent of rosemary to this one (for firming), but I love rosemary

Good luck to all of you.........I am pressing forward with "low tech" stuff (facial flex, dermaroller (0.5 every other day and 1.0 once a month and NCN Pro VoluFirm)....really seeing some good results.

My face is peeling. All over. Thank goodness I have some Skinn BB cream in my desk drawer at work. I rubbed all of those little flakes off with damp fingers, and applied the BB cream, and my face looks better now. Pink, but better.

I actually clean mine out every ngith with a q-tip. I just pull some of the cotton out away from the hard tip with my thumb and forefinger (like pulling cotton candy.) It's perfect because pulling it away, flattens the cotton out and I can swipe it right down in there.

I can not believe you would go through this. You are gluttons for punishment that is all I can say.

It just doesn't seem like there is a huge enough payoff. You can accomplish subtle changes with topicals and other no expense things. But it all is very interesting (on several different levels)! I would just rather kick up collagen in other ways.

Here's a Q that I wish someone would answer....if you can't use acid type exfoliants because of dermal irritation, why then be willing to undergo something with a device that causes dermal irritation?

(gazelle, I think we have to start a separate support thread for those who don't use devices.)

Hello everyone - I am a lurker, and do not own the Tria yet, but I have been enjoying reading the Tria threads to see what you think! Wow, the lady in the blog that Lynn posted really made me want to run out and buy a Tria today! I just had my first TCA peel with great results (and very cheaply through my derm office) and I am going to continue with these types of procedures for a bit longer until I can justify getting a Tria. Thanks to everyone posting their experiences here for us all to read, and keep up the good work!

I can understand this is your thinking, and trying the Tria is my thinking and my choice.

As I see it using the Tria does not eliminate using topicals, or other ways along with it or at other times.

Interesting point you make, on different levels; a support thread for non-use.

have a good day, Harpa, and good luck with your choices----------

The last year or so, my skin has taken a dive. It's dull, flat, always looks cakey. I have changed moisturizers, invested in expensive foundations, you name it. I have every kind of under and over foundation lumizer trying to brighten or do SOMETHING to help my skin. I have done peels, shaken up my night routine. I even switched to cream blush sticks hoping to add something to my skin because powder blushes looked horrible. I bought the Tria for line reduction and to hopefully remove the age spots. I didn't even KNOW it would do anything to the texture of my skin. It's been 8 days, and my skin has not looked this good in 10 years. And it happend on day 3 or 4. I thought it was me or wishful thinking. Until I met up with my sister this weekend (who also bought the Tria) and we both said the exact same thing. Our skin is SO smooth and looks flawless. I have hardly used any foundation the last week. I buffs into my skin and I am finally smiling back at the reflection I am seeing in the mirror. I started using powder blush over the weekend again and it looks fabulous. I didn't even know this was part of the deal. I had NO unrealistic expectations that this was an overnight miracle. I expected to really see some great results by Christmas. That was my expectation.

Keep in mind, I have been following a thread for over a year, from ladies in Europe and Canada that have been using since 2012. So I had taken a lot of tie researching and deciding if this was worth the investment. And all but one or 2 said they would NEVER give up their Tria. over and over, they all reiterated that their skins looks amazing and they look better than and younger than they did the previous year.

I bought the Palovia 4ish years ago when it first came out. It was a lot more painful and left a lot more dryness and redness on my face than the Tria. But I stuck it out and it did WONDERS for my crows feet It got rid of almost ALL of them. And my "1" between my brows is almost non-existent. and now, with 3+ years of using it 2 minutes twice a week to maintain, I have not developed ANY new crows feet. That says a lot. That was WELL worth the investment. And I paid less for the Tria than I did for the Palovia. And I am using the Tria on my neck, chest, arms, back of my hands. So I feel like I am really getting my money's worth. I am excited to see what else it can do. I'm worth the 20 minute a day treatment investment.

And besides...you know what they say...

Pretty Hurts...but ugly is painful. Wink
