Hi friends
Scratching my head! Rolling Eyes

I have had an AALS for a year or two, not too long. I don't use it all the time, a couple of times a week, and I didnt use it for several months, so it does not have a lot of wear and tear. I have never had any issues with it with heat. It is warm to the touch, and nice, but never HOT like the oven.

Last night I used it, and it seemed like a different machince all together. It was very hot to the touch and stayed very hot. I had to turn it off as I felt it was unsafe at that level. If it started at that level, when I bought it, I would not be concerned, but this was about 10 times hotter than usual? Any thoughts?????

Thanks

It sounds as if it either has a malfunction or was somehow damaged?

I would contact LightStim and see if they can resolve your issue skincarecat, my understanding is their CS is fantastic!

Thanks Moon
I am not sure I saved receipts, I bought it well over a year ago I think, cant recall. I am fine if it is supposed to be that hot, but something tells me it is not. DARN SAD. Trying to get a routine going and sticking. Speaking of sticking, I am sticking with ultrasound...sticky spoon process, lol. So far so good I think!

thanks for reply..... Very Happy

I save my email conformations on anything I buy online, any chance?
I would still attempt to contact them it can't hurt. I really don't think it should be "that hot". Confused

They should be able to get to your receipts using your e-mail and/or credit card info.

Skincarecat, is there any new gadget or products that you are using that could be having an affect on your skin? Kind of like after you do a peel and you face can't take RA or Vit c even though it was fine before the peel. I think you mention your using Ultrasound. I don't know much about how that works but could that be a causing a problem with the LS. It does seem that there is big difference in the heat sensation so this might have nothing to do with it but I just thought I would throw it out there.

Great question and thanks!

No I have not done anything different. No peels, no use of anything different before. I did have Cop Peptides on, but not a lot and they were watered down, and I have used that before. I will try it again tonight to see the heat factor. Thanks for the reply. Is is usually really hot and now maybe mine is just catching up?? lol...... Rolling Eyes
