Aw, I am sure you will see results regardless if you miss a few days.

I'm seeing some results already. I reported on another thread about the mark on my forehead breaking up, and I noticed yesterday that the broken caps on each side of my nose are diminishing. I don't notice any changes in firmness.

This is very encouraging Lyn!

I took a really close look at my face in my 5X lighted mirror today and the red mark on my forehead is nearly 1/2 its original size. It was an uneven circle and it is now shaped like a v with a very tiny dot above the v.

Now that I'm masking my eye area each AM with Phyto Contour, I no longer have those pesky festoons staring back at me. I haven't done any LED treatments this week, and that may also be related to the lack of swelling.

I do see some random very small red spots on my face, primarily on each outer side of my face, but I'd think that is to be expected (wounds from the laser). Overall, after just 3 weeks of treatments I can say my skin is experiencing changes that make it worth me sticking with the program for 7+ weeks of daily treatments.

If you all don't mind indulging me for a moment. I have had mine since they first delivered but am scared of the treatment for various reasons. I have a lot of important events in the next few weeks and I also run outside for at least an hour a day.

Do any of you beauties following the protocol have a lot of sun exposure in your daily lives? Obviously I slather the sunscreen, then sunscreen powder and most of the time wear a hat, but I am worried about exacerbating the damage of the actual exposure on my tender skin. I used it once on level 1, but did two treatments right in a row. I am not at all scared of the pain. My mother taught me to believe, "you have to suffer to be beautiful!"

Also, I initially read some posts that stated the ladies skin looked awful, dark spots got darker, the eye festoons, etc. Do you all feel pretty confident that it's more temporary than not?

My husband thinks I should just keep it, pay it off and hold out for a quieter time after summer when I could really go all in! But I also remember Lyn mentioning you can't store it in the box without charging it weekly. I don't want to waste all of the (400?) charges, while not using it.

I thoroughly appreciate reading all of your triumphs and tribulations of using the device and ANY input whatsoever, would be highly appreciated. I certainly am proud of all you Tria Warriors and can't wait to "see" how great you look! Thanks, Jill

Treatments going well here too. Still look forward to it every night (including those plié's)! I also take turns of which zone I start on. I am loving that Phyto Contour Mask from Perricone too. It is so easy and my face just glows after using it. Always, always using sunscreen.

ASLTW, what Phyto mask from perricone are you talking about?? Are you talking about the Chloro plasma mask??

Question for those treating neck, hands, etc.:

Do you do your entire face 10 minute treatment then turn on the device and begin a second session on the additional areas, or do you spend less time on your face and incorporate the other areas into the 10 minutes allotted?

TIA!

I get 2 complete level 3 treatments out of a charge. I do all 4 zones of the face first. Then when it's done, I turn it off and back on. Then do the neck, then the chest, then each hand/top of forearm. And then it's done and out of charge as well.

Thanks, 5pugmom! Part of why I love this is because it's so simple and FAST -- not sure I want to spend any more time at this point, but it would only be another 10 minutes max so I may go ahead anyway. It's NOTHING like the 45 minutes I was spending with my NuFace PLUS almost an hour with my LightStim!

Hi Snowball,

Yes, I meant the chloro plasma mask from Perricone. Ooops, saw the phyto mask written in another thread and the name was stuck in my head.

Yes! i paid attention tonight and it got alot hotter.When i started i thought wow i can hardly feel this..With that said i am gonna start on my forhead then my right side of face then chin upper lip then left side last because that has the most sun damage from driving.Did you ask Tria if that is normal?..Hmm i might call if not.

Hello fellow Tria gang. Having to post as a 'new me' as I have been having fits signing in to the boards, playing videos, etc. I, too, have not missed a night and I am generally not good at sticking with things (nuface....). Going along fine, using my PTR Firm ex also, may try the Cure when that runs out. I have some sandpaper skin, some days are worse than others, but I am also still using RetinA. Other than that, my skin is looking better, and dare it say it, but I think it is helping with breakouts also. I'm definitely keeping this device, and plan on 8/4 being my life now.
