After watching the video link, I ordered the one like it on Amazon. I figured it was worth a shot at that price! I get the idea as far as the directions go but I think I will do my neck area first to be sure.
Has anyone had any broken caps or negative side effects so far? |

| I wonder if the 15W could zap broken capillaries? |

Got mine in yesterday and used it a little last night. I could feel the tightening immediately and see instant visible results which I still see this morning. I did not have any visible redness.
I used it on the hubby's double chin but we have a long road ahead of us on that one, haha. That would be the ultimate test! Unfortunately it is a genetic trait and his mom ended up have plastic surgery to remove her little waddle. We will see!
This little thing seems to do a lot for the price but time will tell. |

Hi AnnieR,
What area on your face did you see instant results? I have a lot of sagging and wrinkles around my mouth, and lines around the lip area. My mini dot matrix doesn't seem to be doing much of anything there, but then it hasn't been a month yet. These are very pronounced wrinkles and folds. Are you trying it on deep wrinkles, or just lines? Because if you are seeing instant results on deep wrinkles, I'm getting one!
How often can you use it? |

I felt a "tightening" and could see the skin looked tighter, such as with a peel.
I have some surface lines around the lower chin and crows feet that I want to address. I do not have any very deep lines as I have always used a filler to plump anything up that was starting to go there.
I will not use it on my filler area (nasolabial) until I do further testing. Although it has been a year or so since I have had any, I know they say wait until it has been there at least 6 months.
So far I have only used it once and that was 2 days ago. I am trying to figure out how often but I will use it again tonight.
I did not use it all over, mainly neck and lower chin. I don't any major lines there, just fine lines and it needs some lifting. Same with the neck.
My conductive gel wasn't in yet so I didn't want to drag it.
I have not seen any change in the visible lines but I dint expect any with just the one use.
I will definitely keep you posted. |

Annie,
Have you been moving it around when you use it, or do you keep it in one place for a number of seconds as in a stamping type procedure?
I think I'm seeing some results with the mini dot matrix, and it hasn't been a month. I think there is some wrinkling around my mouth that has lessened. I've also been using it on that tender skin just under the eyes, and I do see some firming up there. |

| I move it around but also hold it in some spots that need extra work. I just wish it had better and more concise directions. When I get more time I will check out some videos and see what I can figure out. |

I finally ordered one. The seller, NORLANYA, told me that in a few days she is going to post a larger one for the body.
Now I am glad I didn't have the funds for thermage at the doctors.. 
The reviews for thermage were too mixed-for gambling several thousand dollars.
But I'm game for $100. |

I got mine last week, and have used it twice. It does tighten--. Its on my jawline, under my chin and by my mouth where I am seeing difference.
The skin under my neck is real thin and turkey. I would say its a lot less loose.
I have two lines down the sides of my mouth, the left twice as bad as the right.
It has also tightened up, especially the left side. It almost matches the right side.
It really dries your face up though. I have put two coatings of Weleda's rose moisturizer..and one layer of IMU oil..and it is still feels dry and much
tighter..
My arms skin is almost like under my chin, real thin, and almost starting to wrinkle. I am going to use this there too.
This is kinda "blowing my mind." It was the $50 dermapen and this cheapo thing that appears to be working..Who knew? |

I'm using it twice a week with 2 days in between uses. Sometimes I think it is working, and sometimes not. I think it does look different depending on how well hydrated you are. lWhen I wake in the am it looks it's best because I use argan oil as a moisturizer overnight. I took some pics early on, and in another month I'm taking more and going to compare. Maybe that's why I see so little progress. It is so sloooow.
I really need a lot if smoothing, and I think that is why I don't see much progress. |

Great results everyone. R.F. is absolutely on my radar. Does anyone have the STOP device? It is a higher end R.F. device. More pricey but has long-term reviews to back it. If you check there are threads on EDS and many reviews on EDS from long-term posters. Would love to hear from them.  |

Obviously I did not mean to quote myself up there; but when I try to fix it, it goes back to what I just erased. My apologies. I was trying to quote someone else..
But--now I am seeing some machines that look and sound just like this one, on ebay for only $32. The ones I am seeing only go up to 3 though, and this one goes up to 5.
(sigh--this happened when I bought the Pico too--huge difference in price!) |

| I didn't see it in the instructions (which are laughable - when do I use the Duplex E gel included with the RF? Is that supposed to be put on the skin before using the RF? I can't wait to try this! |

Nevermind, I googled it - it's an ion gel so most likely the one you're supposed to put on your face before using the machine. Carry on  |

Me again!
I used the RF for the first time last night. I put the gel that comes with it on first. I tried going right to high like the woman in the video says, but I kept getting zapped and it was not comfortable. So I put it on medium and the zapping stopped. I imagine I can go up to high at some point.
I did as she instructs - I held it in place instead of moving it. My skin never got hot as she says, but again I did have it on medium. So I kept it in each place for about 30 seconds and then moved on to another place. I did my face, my neck, and my chest.
I can't say as I really saw any difference last night, or this morning. Possibly a very minor smoothing of the skin in my decolletage area, which is where I held it the longest, and went back several times. I get light creases there from sleeping, which usually just disappear as the day goes on, but this morning I woke up without them.
Still, overall..not impressed. Yet. |

Yes, that is where I am at but will keep at it.
I had one and returned it and bought a different one. The first one wasn't working at all even after a charge after the first few times I used it. |

I hold mine quite a bit longer than 30 seconds in one spot..I would guess at least a couple minutes on high.
Maybe a few minutes..till it burns and I have to. |

Huh. When you say "burns" do you mean actual heat? Mine zaps me with electricity which kind of feels like a burn but isn't.
Has anyone experienced breakouts because of either the gel included, or possibly even the machine itself? I have pimples all over my chest right now, and also on my left wrist. I did one wrist but not the other, just so I could really see differences, if any. I haven't had a pimple in 20 years. I also now have an itchy rash under my chin. My chin, my chest (cleavage area), and my wrist are the three places where I've held it in place the longest, and all of the rashes/pimples started the same day - two days ago. Today I'm going to use aloe vera instead of the gel included, in case it's the gel. I feel like a teenager with all of these breakouts! |

| No, but I did not have any gel. I just use a light HA or ultrasound gel since I dont really slide it, just move it from place to place and hold it in a spot for a bit. |
