all the other MC devises I have seen online do accept returns within a specified time frame, I dontt understand why pico does not...

Results are dependent upon many factors. Age, mineralization, hydration, proper and consistent usage of the device - Plus all the things on the Tips and Techniques thread included.

I'm in my mid 50's and had results right away but I don't care for processed foods (No sodas, no junk food). very little wheat products, or red meats. I have green foods daily, fresh, pure water, mineralized body. Exercise - weight is balanced, no smoking (I do drink wine). I have to believe that all of these factors make a difference in varying degrees.

PLus we are all different. I sold my STOP device. Wasn't for me but that's the way it goes. Microcurrent feels good to me. It helps my sinuses, it gives my face vibrance and life. It doesn't even take much for the process to occur.

I just got my Pico about a week ago. ( after reading about it for sooo long!)I love it so far! soooo much better then my Nuface. as well what you can do with it, as result wise. with the nuface my cheeks felt lifted, but I never saw any lifting. while I have been very good at using it.
I first only had the gloves with the pico, but knew right away I really need the probes too. I have rosacea, and the roughness of the gloves irritated my skin too much. also with the gloves the products you can use it with are very limited, since you have to be able to wash the product out, you have to stick to the products made for them. I use the gloves on my legs, while at the same time doing my hands.they were both totally dried out. they both look a lot better , throughout the day.
my face has in instant lift. which lasts about 30 min I think. I will have to see how that goes over time. would be nice if it stayed longer, and improved a little more.
when my face is relaxed I have no wrinkles, anywhere. as soon as I smile I have plenty around my eyes. and my cheeks are starting to sag, which I see on the sides of my chin, forming some shade. I don't expect any improvement on my eyes, but dream about less sag, and delaying it to get worse.
so excited about my new gadget!
it feels great, and it is fun to work with.


Sandviken - You can absolutely get improvement around your eyes. In my opinion wrinkles around eyes are not unattractive at all but what you can really improve is a lifting of the eyebrow area and my favorite technique in the eye/nose area (which I described previously). It does untold things for that area of your face. LOVE IT. You can also do an erase under the eyes which creates a smoothing effect. The Pico is a magic wand.
Once you use it correctly, you have the power.


hello sister sweets,
thank you for your tips.
I read ALL the 60 something pages over the pico toner that were on here, before buying it, and already then appreciated all your tips .
I have no saggy eyelids or low eyebrows or 11 between my eyebrows though. no wrinkles on my forehead either.
when I was a small child my grandmother told me to not make wrinkles on my forehead, because then you get them there she said. now usually I did not listen to her, but strangely enough, I did with this.
my grandmother passed away last year, at 103, with no wrinkles on her forehead.
I do have some puffiness under my eyes ( no wrinkles when relaxed), and when i smile or move my face, lots of lines. and anything I do only seems to make it worse so far.
Rolling Eyes
i tried the reaura, the stop, babyquasar , needling, nuface. and it all ended up worse then when doing nothing.
now of course I am trying the pico toner on there too. Very Happy
as well the erasing, as the holding. but since I did not get any results with anything else, I like to keep my expectations low. Smile

So...to report for my second pico session last night...

i used pico 1 again...but this time on 20 (thanks Aprile that setting is much better for me).

this morning before i got of bed I rubbed my hands over my face and i could FEEL the toning and lifting of my lower face/cheeks...which was confirmed when i looked in the mirror..it's def there.

my eye area however, has not shown any improvement yet.

i haven't been using the pico ionic spray because i am sensitive to some of the ingredients in it.

so i've been using a vitamin 'o' product (variation of H2O2) the one i'm favoring these days is a product called dynamo i got from Family Health News..although i sometimes use 3% food grade H2O2. Anyway i always feel energzed when these H2O2 products are applied to my skin so i figured it would help with the MC conductivity.

Then i applied liquid copper energized angstrom minerals to my face cause i also feel energy from that peoduct..and copper is considered to be a major beauty mineral....then i wet my gloves with warm water per instruction and added sulphur liquid energized angstrom minerals to my gloves and face and used that product thru the treatment as my conductive liquid.

afterwards i did manual lymphatic massage and 1/2 hour of gua sha facial treatment.

ok, i don't have time to proof this or make it easier to read....but

i love vitamin 'O' products because i experience the increased well-being and energy both from taking them intrnally and applying them to my skin.

vitamin 'O' is what is referred to as stabilized oxygen

i use one from Family Health News externally on my face and body called Dynamo

familyhealthnews.com... take a look at their site (i am not affliliated in any way) they have all kinds of oxygen products and generously will take time to answer questions.

They have 2 products they say are eqivalent to cellfood but less expensive. one is called Vital O the other is called Oxylift. my DH uses Oxylift internally. (I can not use any product with citric acid which stops me from using most products which contain amino acids & minerals in addition to the 'stabilized oxygen' soi get these nutrients from other sources.

another source of stabilized oxygen or vitamin 0 is a product from Healthforce callled Oxygen Supreme 11(this company has created Vitamineral Green... which i know some use very happily on EDS)

Healthforce products are also the most vital/energizing/oxygenating of the green products that i have encountered..they are also 'energized' as well as being energy stimulating foods themselves (spirulina, chlorella, whest grass juice, etc)

i do have an afflilation with Healthforce products though.. in that depending on my circumstance & time committment... i sell them... very very infrequently..but nonetheless I am registered with them as a distributor.

At any rate when i am in the USA i use their oxygen supreme 11 product internally ...it comes in glass so i don't take it with when i am living in india.. there i use the Dynamo product from Family Health News internally as well as externally cause it comes in plastic and is very concentrated.

anyway i think anyone sensitive to energy who took Oxygen Supreme 11 in water first thing in the morning would feel the difference immediately.

and

just to clarify..on the last pico thread..which was locked..so i couldn't respond..i spoke about vitamin O..and also about 3% food grade H2O2..(not the pharmaceutical grade which is the kind sold at the drugstore)..since i thougt that H202 might be more familiar to people than stabized oxygen...

i was told by an EDS'er that in additiona to my stating that it is only 3% H2O2 that should be used externally on the skin..it was essential to let people know that more than 3% is extremely dangerous as it can'burn' and permenently and seriously damage skin...even 3% may be too harsh for some people but it will do no perment harm



taken internally....because H202 is oxygenating but often upsetting to the stomach..stabized oxygen products like dynamo, oxylift, cellfood, oxygen supreme 11 were developed because they do not cause the same upset in the stomach as H202 can.

WARNING..H202 can not be taken internally 'straight'..the very very most it can be taken internally is 1 tbl per liter of water..and that is after s.l.o.w.l.y adjusting to it bit by bit... and i do not advise anyone to even try taking much less than that... unless you have absolutley deeply studied about H2O2 on your own...of course there is much controversy about taking it internally at all...but i do take it PERSONALLY when i am in india and run of of stabilized oxygen...and do fine with it (after years of studying about it)

Very interesting! When I travel with Pico and gloves I don't take ionic spray due to travel regs - I carry-on. I use water only and tend to have a cup near me to re-wet frequently. (fingers usually). I spray my face with ASG while working the gloves if I think about it. I'm glad it seems to be working for you JR. I am a big fan of energy products, etc and am now seeing how well they work with microcurrent. After being at the A4M show I am even more validated by the power of energy products, devices, you name it. I'll have to check out gua sha. Thanks JR.

Sis,
i can hardly wait to see the you tube video that Bethany posted....but it will have to wait till later today...

meanwhile i just wanted to let you know that the form of gua sha i am using is dif than the usual..and there is no youtube video promoting it...it's myofascial..in other words it works with breaking up the 'tissue knots' just under the skin..especially in the triangle area from the mouth to the jowls(if you drew a line from the mouth to to the side of the face and then down around the jowl area)..anyway just under the skin ..if one is 'mature'...there are these tissue knote..i have them..was never aware of them before i started this method of facial gua sha...which block the natural flow of enegy in the meridians of the face related to where the tissue knot is...thereby causing sagging/wrinkling, etc.

so i am thinking that helping to break up these tissue knots may help with the conductivity of the MC especially in the jowl area where they tend to be more prevalent.

JR, that sounds very similar to the cross-tissue massage Christine Byer recommended, so it probably is very beneficial.

Bethany, it's dif than cross tissue massage.(which i believe is also very effective)

in gua sha a gua sha 'board' is used (this board you can see on facial gua sha you tube videos)..and a rounded edge of the board is used to 'dig in' so to speak to the tissue knot which is really a tissue 'lump'

the movement is very specific to the lump..more like a very deep acupressure movement with the board in both clockwise and counterclockwise movements.. and then a more 'free form'movement..which is still very deep and very specific to the lump itself...the depth and power of the movement of the board is the 'myofascial' aspect of the technique

Cool....I'll look into that further!

Thanks Bethany.

I had no idea I was going to be interviewed at the time, but thrilled to discuss my favorite product. At that point I was mucho hours walking and standing in high heels; my feet were killing me and....(I needed lipstick - hellloooo Laughing ).
There were so many interesting booths at the show. An event such as A4M IS like Disneyland for people like us.
I was impressed with how Ageless Secret was received and validated by professionals in the field of anti-aging and energy. And the Visia people were impressed too.
I am honored they included me in their video. I have believed for some time that Ageless Secret Gold is a magic potion for creating youth in cells and after being in LV I am even more convinced.

Sandi. You may not need a whole lot of anything. In conjunction with Pico toner, facial exercises might help eye area. Pico will probably keep your skin toned and give vibrancy and life and help with drainage. You may be best served to use on a lower power setting. 25 might be fine for you.

I wonder if that's why your best starting results are lower face? Usually the upper face, forehead and eye area are easier to lift and work with. (especially as we get older). Jasminerosey you always amaze me.

after all the reading I did I know stronger is not better.
I LOVE the feeling of setting 25. it's I very nice tingly feeling. and it feels great afterwards, and looks much better too.
unfortunately I only have time to do it at night. in the morning the results are gone. Confused
do you know how I can add pictures to my post?

I've been cranking it up to 50. I'm not seeing any adverse effects and it's working for me, so I think I'll keep up what I've been doing.

Jasminerosey, your explanation of knots under the skin is interesting. I would like to know more but I'm not sure how to research it. Should I just look up gua sha?

S Sweets, what are some other energizing products? I think there is something to the energy connection and I want to delve in to it.

I started ASG and Pico at the same time. Where is the ASG thread? I would like to read it but can't find it. I want to know if my results are "normal."

Aprile, I have not seen Toby's results but would love to. I need to PM her.

I agree with Daler 100%. My very first thought was that they looked haggard/tired. I saw the before and after and thought some of them even looked better before! Ugh, not a good advertisement. Just my honest opinion.

I have to chime in here. I thought that all the folks using Ageless Secret looked like regular, middle aged people. No one looked "miraculously younger" or had any type of 'glow from within' or any of that nonsense. When someone "glows" you usually see a slight "pinking" of their skin tone or more color in cheeks or their entire face. This was not the case with any of the people in the promotional video.

From the Free Dictionary:
Quote:

glow (gl)
intr.v. glowed, glow·ing, glows
1. To shine brightly and steadily, especially without a flame: Embers glowed in the furnace.
2.
a. To have a bright, warm, usually reddish color: The children's cheeks glowed from the cold.
b. To flush; blush.

3. To be exuberant or radiant: parents glowing with pride.
n.
1. A light produced by a body heated to luminosity; incandescence.
2. Brilliance or warmth of color, especially redness: "the evening glow of the city streets when the sun has gone behind the tallest houses" (Seán O'Faoláin).
3. A sensation of physical warmth.
4. A warm feeling, as of pleasure or well-being.


The folks looked like average, middle aged people. We always hear about how people want to "look good for their age" or whatever the case may be. But if someone continues to look like an average, middle aged person with absolutely nothing that distinguishes them from any other average, middle aged person I would hesitate to call this a 'miracle' or even to say that the folks looked "good for their age".

My definition of someone who looks "good for their age" would be someone like Nonie, whose photos can be viewed on Carolyn's Facial Fitness website in the "before and after" section.

When I think of someone with a glow, I instantly think of Jennifer Lopez. Thats a glow!

Speaking of water, I do as much to my water as possible. I get my water from a public artesian spring (they test it on a regular basis).
I magnetize it, oxygenate it, and put Crystal Energy in it.

Before I found the spring, I used a water filter that ionized and alkalized the water.....it actually tastes quite different than tap water in its taste as well as texture. But the spring water is the best. It hasn't been put through pipes thus it hasn't lost its natural structure.

Read about Patrick Flanagan and Crystal Energy here:
http://phisciences.com/products/crystal-energy-hunza-water
He studied the Hunzas to see what made them have such long lives......guess the answer.

I have energy work done on my body on a regular basis, and it makes a quantitative, as well as qualitative, difference in my wellbeing, on every
level. Many,if not all indigenous cultures, use (used) energy work in conjunction with herbs etc. to restore and maintain health. Unfortunately, so much of that is being lost, because of our insistence that the only thing that is real is that which we can see and the pill which we can pop in our mouth.

Another point in kind.....the very real and present danger of WiFi, the danger of which, most do not think is valid, because they can't see it or touch it.

Sorry for the off topic.....

Energy is a very potent force in whatever way one wants to use it...and there are many many many ways in which to harness it for our benefit.

Jennifer Lopez probably has a derm on staff and a $50,000 skincare budget. I hope she has a glow.
Plus she's likely 20 years younger than these women who are au naturelle. How young did you or any of us look 20 years ago? Hardly a comparison.

I've seen the glow in person. I've experienced it.
Not a point I'm going to argue.

Jennifer Lopez also owns a $23,000 CACI machine and probably has a full time aesthetician to give her daily treatments.

So true. There were amazing products at the anti-aging conference geared to the very idea of how potent energy is - in many forms.

I magnetize my water too. Like April I use ionized, alkalinized water. The water does taste very different. Must check out the Crystal energy link. Thank you mariposa for a thoughtful post.

WHAT? Perhaps you need new glasses Daler - They DO NOT look haggard. That is just YOUR personal opinion. IMO, they all have a glow that shines from within. Your assessment is also precisely the reason why most don't share photos on this forum. Smh. Rolling Eyes


Aprile, they do look haggard n it's just not my personal opinion, I have shown that video to many of my friends n everyone thinks the same...

I think it's you who needs glasses, may be u r just seeing a blurr...

Daler some of those women are in their late 60's, early 70's and the improvements were over a short period of time. The improvements are there. Age can be very cruel. I'm sure you and your friends are hardly close to that age so take a step back.
I too have shown people the video and they have seen those pictures and then they bought the Pico toner. So there you go.
