I noticed a difference on you and on me too. Your cumulative is more glowing and taut. I notice increased tautness for myself after each use too, the following day.
personally, i found it to have lessened my water retention in the face after each use. it was noticeably tighter, especially the jawline but not drastic, which is above and beyond for me since it doesn't rely on physical force to massage. if you want to focus on the jowls you need to purchase their other Y-shaped machine that focuses on that. this one primarily increases collagen. I've used it since Christmas for 2.5 months, twice a week.
I've used it twice so far and really like the effect the next day. I can definitely see increased tautness. I plan to stay at level 1 for the near future, but will keep in mind what you said about warmth at higher levels. Thanks for this useful review.
I just purchased and used for 2 weeks , I’m 50 years old , I see the result my face is more fuller and firmer I ll stick to level 1 for the first 3 months
The brand says that for optimal results, you should stick to their gel. I have personally used my devices with ultrasound gel in the past and it worked for me, but that is a personal observation. Obviously you are using it against manufacturer recommendations then, which is something you need to be aware of when making that decision.
Thank you! I'm wondering one thing. You note these devices can cause "fat loss" and on their site, I noticed that one more dramatic zone of improvement was "cheek sunkenness." This seems contradictory? Does the increased collagen compensate for reduced fat in sunken areas?
The increase in collagen and the increased firmness can make the face appear plumper and I don't think with the strength of this device you'll get fat loss. Fat loss is not something you'd want here, it is more of a possible side effect when high strengths are used.
After doing this treatment, do you wash your face then apply toner, essence, serum and then moisturiser or do you wash your face first, apply toner and essence, then do this treatment and finish off with serum and moisturiser? Does anyone know please feel free to answer? Thanks. 😊
I do treatment first and then wash my face and do skincare. If you use the original gel, you can also pat it in and not wash your face, but rather treat it as a serum, I personally don't really like doing that though.
My main concern now is the subtle sagging jowls and more so on one side of my face 😢 I jave the nuface but another esterician said the nuface stimulates muscle and the depressor anguli blah blah are actually tight xausing th3 sagginess and the microcurrent isn't beneficial for that. Would u recommend this medicube device or the other one with the two prongs for the jowl situation?
As long as it is subtle sagging, the Medicube might help, but if it gets more intense, an in office treatment or maybe surgical intervention might be needed. I don't think that the NuFACE makes it worse though - I have one too and use it. The other Medicube device isn't one I have tried, so I can't really comment on it.
Hi Doc, I watched your other video on RF devices and you mentioned these devices are good for middle-aged ppl with moderate skin laxity. I’m 47 and my skin not too sagging but I’m started to have wrinkles (laugh lines) would this device help with wrinkles? Also, my cheek doesn’t have a lot of fat to begin with, do you think it’s safe to use this? I don’t want to lose even more fat. Would using a lower setting prevent fat loss? But would lower setting not high enough to promote collagen making? TIA!
The stimulation in collagen will have an effect on wrinkles as well, but probably not a huge one with the at home devices. Similar to this I personally don't see a risk for fat loss with the at-home devices either, as their settings should be safe even on the highest part. If you are 47 and only now start to have laugh lines, your skin sounds pretty awesome to begin with! What else are you doing?
@@DoctorAnne thanks Doc! I’m not doing much other than normal skin care routine! The only “device” I have is the Refa carat face. I’m not sure if it’s helping much. 🤷🏻♀️ I just have lots of crows feet and some laugh lines! Any devices you recommend for wrinkles?
I've been using other gels with this- as long as it's conductive-like ultrasound gel that you can find inexpensively on Amazon, or any gel used for a Microcurrent or Radiofrequency device. I've been using The Ordinary's Copper Peptides serum which I apply to my whole face (copper is conductive) then I apply aloe gel to the device and rub it on my face. Then I spritz my face with tap water. My tap water is hard, and most tap water in the US (85%) is hard, meaning it contains a high concentration of dissolved ions from minerals- which makes it conductive. I continue to spritz my face if it becomes dry. You could also add a pinch of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) or salt (I use Himalayan pink salt because it contains more minerals than regular iodized salt) to your water bottle to make the water conductive. I have not tried adding magnesium sulfate or salt to the aloe gel directly because I'm unsure if that will alter the consistency of the gel.
I do have one dental implant, and while I am mindful to not use it directly on top of it, that is more because it might heat up and cause pain rather than because I am afraid of other problems.
Do you find that it is added collagen production in a unique way that couldn't be duplicated by simply using your Red Light Therapy more often? It seems so many things adding to collagen. I'm not sure I see why there would be a benefit of multiple approaches instead of just using which ever works best more often or longer.
That is a tricky question I can't answer because as far as I know there are no comparison studies seeing if one works better than the other or if they multiply or hinder their effects when combined. My approach is that all of these things will only have a very small effect when they are an at-home device (for safety reasons), so a combination will get more results because they all work by a slightly different mechanism. But if that is true? All I can say that using things more frequently won't increase the results once you reached a certain point. But it is certain that you don't need all of these for a good routine and that SPF and retinoids as well as a healthy lifestyle are probably more important.
Both work through different mechanisms, so it is hard to directly compare them: NuFace aims to plump up the muscles, this one aims to induce collagen, so which one is best for you as individual depends on your main concern as well as on your lifestyle (how often are you willing to do a treatment, how much time are you willing to invest,...). I personally see more effect after I started radiofrequency, but I didn't stop my microcurrent treatment (and even if I would have, the results wouldn't disappear anyway), so I will continue using both. If I, given my facial structure and lifestyle, HAD to pick one, it would right now be radiofrequency.
Dr. Anne, It will be great if you can try the Lumo device, is more pricey thatn this one and is called the Rolls-Royce of the devices but there is not enough reviews about that one. Thank you for reviewing the Ussera Deep Shot!
Will you please do a 3 and 6 month check-in? My derm told me that the collagen stimulating results from Ultherapy become evident between 3 to 6 months after treatment. I'd assume that your skin would also need a similar timeframe to build new collagen with this device, especially as it's weaker than in-office.
I strongly suggest you watch the video I made about the science behind radiofrequency here: ua-cam.com/video/Zmf12vxKijk/v-deo.html I specifically talk about fat loss in it. I personally have not seen fat loss in the face with this device, but there are different factors that influence that. if it affects your Botox and fillers depends on the fillers used/ the area they were applied to and should be discussed with the provider that did the invasive treatment, I can't give a general answer there.
I used this for the first time yesterday, trying to be very careful not to go over the same spot twice in a row. Today i see these two red spots near one cheekbone and near my nose.. is this normal?
I never noticed red spots on my skin related to using it, but it is hard to tell what your spots stem from - I can't say for sure what they could be and if they could be related to the way you used the device.
Doctor Anne, thank you for sharing the review of this beauty device. I have one question can you please let me know what is the brand or where do you get to Noname gel?
Dr. Anne, I purchased deep shot and used it first time. Net day my face was achy. Is that normal to get some pain afterwards? This is my first time buying face device. Also r you still using it? Do you see difference? Thanks.
Hi Dr Anne! If my main concern is sagging skin and nasolabial folds should I try a RF device or micro current one? I use retin a and aha on a daily basis (night and morning) but I really want to take my skin care to the next level. Is it better if I use both? Thanks for your advice.
I personally have seen best results with RF in the long run, but depending on your budget, maybe seeing a professional for advice what they would recommend for you would be the best way to start? Even if I feel that my chin/ jaw area is a little more lifted, it is far from the results professional treatment would have been able to give me.
If your doctor advised you to stay away, I would follow his lead. It isn't so much the red light that would make me hesitant here than the heat it creates in the tissue that can worsen melasma.
Hello! Im wondering if I can still use this after getting medical grade treatments like hifu and pico laser. If so, how long should I wait before using it again?
Just came here after watching your 1 year evaluation of skin Care devices. I'm using the TriPollar Stop Vx which must be used 3-4x/w for 6 weeks and after that just 1x/w but the sessions takes longer because every area of the face requires 4-5min to be treated (forehead, left/right cheek and neck so about 15-20min total). I enjoy the results but I really dislike the conduction gel so I'm wondering if there is another option for me out there 😁
It is the same with the one from Current Body - each section 5, rarely 10 minutes, but that adds up! Any conductive gel will do - the ones from ZIIP are really cosmetically elegant, but also really expensive, so you have to see how much you are willing to spend... The effect is the same, only the experience changes.
Have you looked into the Medicube [Glow Booster] Age-R Booster? It is supposed to increase the absorption of topicals. I suspect its popularity in Korea is due to improvement in the glossiness of skin. Skin permeability increase 490% Skin glossiness improvement 57.4% Skin pores volume improvement 28.5% Temporary improvement of skin redness 2.8% Skin texture improvement 6.8% Skin brighteness improvement 0.6%
No, I haven't. I am not a huge fan of things that "Increase the absorption of topicals". Topicals are usually designed with regular absorption in mind, so increasing that isn't always a good thing.
@@DoctorAnne it is supposed to increase the absorption of any skincare. Koreans barely use retinols or actives in their skincare because they have strict regulations there and are heavily focused on hydration
@@elithluxe7568 I know, but even Hyaluronic Acid, when going deeper than intended, can lead to problems, so I am not worried about so-called "actives" only.
@@DoctorAnne I don't know much about these products never having used these at 23 but I want to start now and for my mom too. I have been reading up on things about fat loss caused by these types of products which is one of my worries. You mentioned that only high strengths can lead to fat loss in another reply so for level 5 strength, could this product also cause fat loss? I was originally going to get the Ussera for my mom but as she has a thin face, she will kill me if I mess it up and make her look more gaunt.
@@mainedevera2304 Dr. Sam Ellis did a video this week on what devices can be used with melasma. Mine is stubborn and I’m unwilling to take risks with it.
Hi doctor anne, i am a 35 yo asian. If I have age spots and hyperpigmentation due to past acne, is it safe to use the ussera? I am so tempted since i have dry skin and I'd like to boost collagen n tighten my smile lines.
@@DoctorAnne yes but so much money for such a short time for it to last, no wonder people go to different countries that don't charge as much as in the US.
@@theathea3064 I get that, and the pricing in the US (compared to here in Germany) is quite high in some places. Still surgery on my face isn't the place where I would try to save money.
No, it is not incorrect. This is a combination device, it also has ultrasound. But you can just turn it on and off and adjust the intensity, there is no switching between different settings.
I watched another channel and she said it was a high frequency device not a radio frequency device. Can you speak to this? The channel was Brazilian Girl Channel and her name is Darcy.
According to the manufacturer it is a device that combines ultrasound with additional high frequency, but in the leaflet they also mention radiofrequency. As the effect of the two in the skin overlaps, I don't think it makes a huge difference, it just differs in depth of penetration and in if the heating of the skin is more targeted or more diffuse.
@@DoctorAnne Thank You! I am glad to hear it doesn’t really make a difference. I Love your channel, I just found you and subscribed. I am looking forward to future videos!
While it would be possible, these devices are designed for a certain depth of penetration in which they provide their effect. As the fat and muscle patch on your forehead is way less than it is on your cheeks, I would double check with the manufacturer before using it there.
@@rosnizarabdulrahim656 I am sorry if I am unclear: Nor the skin is thinner, but you have less fat and thinner muscles on your forehead than you have on your cheeks and chin area, so what reaches that layer could on the forehead hit the bone.
So I have a question… can you use this device close to the eye lid? I go to my esthetician to get radiofrequency on my eyebags cuz I have puffy bags and it usually leave my bags flawless, however, this device looks too big to use on the eyelid? Can I use it near the eyelid or do you recommend any other device as strong as Medicube with the heat? Thanks in advance!
I am not planning on reviewing the others right now, I have other devices at the moment and they take a long time to properly test out. In the set were different adapters, similar to the sets you'd get for traveling.
Thank you for your videos and all the helpful information. What would you suggest me to buy to help with my jowl vs jawline: nuface mini or Medicube Age-R Derma EMS shot if I can afford to get only one of them. Thank you for your advice.
Thank you for the reply. I am using NuFace device and now I am adding Medicube Deep Shot. Do I need two different gels or can I use ultrasound for both or Aloe Vera gel for both.
@@MrVelonleon It is best to see a provider that offers these procedures so they can assess your skin in person and give you the ideal treatment options.
Can you share what conductive gel you use, please? I've looked and don't know how to make sure I have the right one to use with this device. Thank you!
If you want to be 100% sure, buy the one the brand offers alongside the device. I have used cheap ones from Amazon in the past, some worked very well, others not so much. Right now I am using the ones that come with the ZIIP device.
Dr. Anne I don't know what you mean that it burns in the highest intensity. Mine does not at level 5 at all. Do you think I have a defective one?😮 I just bought mine from the company itself. I only experienced major skin burns with the HIFU mini... With this I don't have this problem.
Every skin is different and the way we perceive things in terms of heat varies. It never burned my skin, but in the first few weeks, I found the highest level uncomfortable hot. I don't anymore though, my skin got used to it. So no need to worry, you are probably better used to heat than I am.
@@DoctorAnne Maybe. Well anyway this morning after using this for the second time looks pretty tight this morning. Especially more around the jawline. This thing is awesome!
I stopped watching Tati when she swapped from a mostly plant-based diet to a carnivore diet and started talk about God a lot. She also uses the EWG and dislikes preservatives, sulphates, talc, mineral oil. I would personally be more worried about the health consequences of eating mostly only meat than putting some phenoxyethanol on my skin. I have had my 4th pulse dye laser session today and I would say there have been improvements but not to the extent that others show on Reddit. The circle areas of my skin that blanch afterwards seem to redden up pretty fast and then there is more of a diffuse reduction rather than the obvious circle pattern. I know the model of the laser effects this. It is not a v-beam device. The procedure is quite uncomfortable and does cause some purpura and swelling because of the setting that has to be used for my skin. I would say someone with a typical amount of redness wouldn’t have to bruise. But I don’t see the 6 treatments I paid for being enough for complete resolution, so I will probably have to pay for more. I was saving for laser eye surgery but I think my eyesight is still getting worse anyways
I am saving up for eye surgery as well, I want to get it done before I need reading glasses due to my age... I don't really watch Tati, the video is just plastered on the website, so I noticed it and thought the title was catchy.
@@DoctorAnne I absolutely hate glasses. I have been using contact lenses since I was a teenager. They aren’t very fun either. I have slightly high IOP and started taking escitalopram which caused some eye pain for the first week, so that probably isn’t helping. But an ophthalmologist said that i was a candidate. Cannot test IOP with the air device because my corneas are thick. I have been more into fragrance videos at the moment. A bit weird because I only like the smell of two perfumes on me: Jimmy choo urban hero and Creed Aventus for her. The first one is generally disliked and the second polarising, so the videos can be offensive
@@MrsPaulaTorres I don’t know what caused your specific health problems; perhaps you were fed a nutritionally deficient diet but there is more than sufficient evidence that vegan diets can be healthy. More than that, that people who reduced meat consumption and swap those calories with plants have better health outcomes. It is always smart to take a B12 and maybe D3 supplement for reassurance but vegans aren’t worse off than everyone else in general. I think a carnivore diet is pretty dangerous. The low consumption/absence of fibre in the diet is incredibly bad for the gut and red meat is potentially inflammatory for the intestines. You increase your risk of GI cancer when you reduce fibre intake. You are also getting no phytonutrients and antioxidant phytochemicals. Your consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol will be high and you could be eating a lot of trans fats compared to people who eat more plants. We have anthropological evidence that people who live in parts of the world where they don’t have access to plants and have to eat mostly meat based diets have high levels of cardiovascular disease. I know a lot of grifters on the internet are trying to sell the carnivore diet for profit but it is likely going to harm a lot of people. And a lot of these people are vulnerable and suffering from chronic diseases and desperate for any promise of a solution. I don’t think you would ever get ethical approval to run an RCT that involved telling a group to only eat red meat products for months or years because the body of evidence very strongly suggests that excessive consumption of meat is not healthy.

I personally have seen best results with RF in the long run, but depending on your budget, maybe seeing a professional for advice what they would recommend for you would be the best way to start?
Even if I feel that my chin/ jaw area is a little more lifted, it is far from the results professional treatment would have been able to give me.
Hello Doc. I'm curious is it okay to use it on the forehead?
It is not in the recommended treatment, so I wouldn't do it, but if you want to, you could contact the brand with that question.
Can it be used on body to firm & tighten?
This device is not designed to be used on the body, so I can't answer that. But RF in general can be used for that purpose.
Can i use ultrasound gel from drs office?
Generally speaking yes.
Do you think if it will be worsen melasma and eczema? My doctor advised to avoid red LED makes me hesitate on the red light from this device
If your doctor advised you to stay away, I would follow his lead. It isn't so much the red light that would make me hesitant here than the heat it creates in the tissue that can worsen melasma.
Hello! Im wondering if I can still use this after getting medical grade treatments like hifu and pico laser. If so, how long should I wait before using it again?
You can in general use this after professional treatments, but when should be discussed with the person that did the treatment.
@@DoctorAnne okay, thank you!
Have you tried Amiro facial device?
No, I haven't.
Just came here after watching your 1 year evaluation of skin Care devices. I'm using the TriPollar Stop Vx which must be used 3-4x/w for 6 weeks and after that just 1x/w but the sessions takes longer because every area of the face requires 4-5min to be treated (forehead, left/right cheek and neck so about 15-20min total). I enjoy the results but I really dislike the conduction gel so I'm wondering if there is another option for me out there 😁
It is the same with the one from Current Body - each section 5, rarely 10 minutes, but that adds up! Any conductive gel will do - the ones from ZIIP are really cosmetically elegant, but also really expensive, so you have to see how much you are willing to spend... The effect is the same, only the experience changes.
Have you looked into the Medicube [Glow Booster] Age-R Booster? It is supposed to increase the absorption of topicals. I suspect its popularity in Korea is due to improvement in the glossiness of skin.
Skin permeability increase 490%
Skin glossiness improvement 57.4%
Skin pores volume improvement 28.5%
Temporary improvement of skin redness 2.8%
Skin texture improvement 6.8%
Skin brighteness improvement 0.6%
No, I haven't. I am not a huge fan of things that "Increase the absorption of topicals". Topicals are usually designed with regular absorption in mind, so increasing that isn't always a good thing.
@@DoctorAnne it is supposed to increase the absorption of any skincare. Koreans barely use retinols or actives in their skincare because they have strict regulations there and are heavily focused on hydration
@@elithluxe7568 I know, but even Hyaluronic Acid, when going deeper than intended, can lead to problems, so I am not worried about so-called "actives" only.
@@DoctorAnne I don't know much about these products never having used these at 23 but I want to start now and for my mom too. I have been reading up on things about fat loss caused by these types of products which is one of my worries. You mentioned that only high strengths can lead to fat loss in another reply so for level 5 strength, could this product also cause fat loss? I was originally going to get the Ussera for my mom but as she has a thin face, she will kill me if I mess it up and make her look more gaunt.
@@elithluxe7568 I have been using it for a very long time now and haven't lost fat at all, despite using it on the highest level.
I have melasma, so I'm not able to use heating devices on my face.
I wouldn't risk that either.
Hi, i wanted to buy this for my mom. I was wondering why it shouldn’t be used who has melasma? Thank u in advance for your response!
@@mainedevera2304 Dr. Sam Ellis did a video this week on what devices can be used with melasma. Mine is stubborn and I’m unwilling to take risks with it.
@@mainedevera2304 Melasma can be deepend by heat in the skin.
Hi doctor anne, i am a 35 yo asian. If I have age spots and hyperpigmentation due to past acne, is it safe to use the ussera? I am so tempted since i have dry skin and I'd like to boost collagen n tighten my smile lines.
Male can use this ? Its safe
It can be used by all genders.
I personally think it knocked a decade off your face. Wish they would make something to erase those pouchy jowls.
That would be awesome! But I am afraid so far only the knife will help there...
@@DoctorAnne I heard they come back after two years of going under the knife. I think if that is the case they should lower the price.
@@theathea3064 Well, aging doesn't stop, so it would be expected that they come back eventually.
@@DoctorAnne yes but so much money for such a short time for it to last, no wonder people go to different countries that don't charge as much as in the US.
@@theathea3064 I get that, and the pricing in the US (compared to here in Germany) is quite high in some places. Still surgery on my face isn't the place where I would try to save money.
It's my understanding this is also a HIFU modality device not just radio frequency. Is that incorrect?
No, it is not incorrect. This is a combination device, it also has ultrasound. But you can just turn it on and off and adjust the intensity, there is no switching between different settings.
@@DoctorAnne ok thank you😊 just wanted to make sure I had it right. I know with their EMS device there was some confusion regarding the modality.
@@kmw97 To be honest, I don't find the leaflet with the information the most informative here either.
I watched another channel and she said it was a high frequency device not a radio frequency device. Can you speak to this? The channel was Brazilian Girl Channel and her name is Darcy.
According to the manufacturer it is a device that combines ultrasound with additional high frequency, but in the leaflet they also mention radiofrequency. As the effect of the two in the skin overlaps, I don't think it makes a huge difference, it just differs in depth of penetration and in if the heating of the skin is more targeted or more diffuse.
@@DoctorAnne Thank You! I am glad to hear it doesn’t really make a difference. I Love your channel, I just found you and subscribed. I am looking forward to future videos!
@@ginarooks8504 Welcome to the community then. If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Isn’t radio frequency and high frequency the same? Not being rude, just really want to know.
Any thoughts about the saian firmage device in comparison?
No, I have not tried any other devices I could compare that one against yet.
What no name gel do you use?
It changes. Right now one from unmixed, but I don't like it as much. A favorite one I had in the past was from prorelax
Hi Dr. Anne, can u use this device at the forehead area? If you do, how is the method? Because the video only shows the cheeks, jaw and chin area..
While it would be possible, these devices are designed for a certain depth of penetration in which they provide their effect. As the fat and muscle patch on your forehead is way less than it is on your cheeks, I would double check with the manufacturer before using it there.
@@DoctorAnne so our forehead skin is thinner than our cheeks? Thx for thw replying and i will wait for your response about the forehead area.
@@rosnizarabdulrahim656 I am sorry if I am unclear: Nor the skin is thinner, but you have less fat and thinner muscles on your forehead than you have on your cheeks and chin area, so what reaches that layer could on the forehead hit the bone.
Thank you❤
You are welcome.
So I have a question… can you use this device close to the eye lid? I go to my esthetician to get radiofrequency on my eyebags cuz I have puffy bags and it usually leave my bags flawless, however, this device looks too big to use on the eyelid?
Can I use it near the eyelid or do you recommend any other device as strong as Medicube with the heat?
Thanks in advance!
I wouldn't use it near the eyeballs, nor would I risk it with any other at-home device that isn't specifically marketed for this purpose.
I love that u answer all questions@@DoctorAnne
@@lilianee7778 I do my best.
Dear Anne, are you still using this device? If yes, how is it going?
I am, three times a week, and I am really satisfied. Will do an update mid-year.
Thanks a lot! Can't wait to see your update video.
@DoctorAnne! Hi, is this safe for brown skin/skin of color? Will this cause hyperpigmentation? Thank you
Have you tried the Medicube Age-R Derma EMS Shot?
No, I have only used this one from the brand. Have you?
@@DoctorAnne Not yet. I am waiting for your review first.
@@adrienneromelle2816 I am not sure if I will get one to review.
Beautiful green eyes 🥰
Thank you.
Hi Doctor Anne! How do you clean your device?
With a damp wash cloth.
Thank you for your honest review! Will you also test the other medicube devices? Do you need an adapter for Germany or is there a suitable connection?
I am not planning on reviewing the others right now, I have other devices at the moment and they take a long time to properly test out. In the set were different adapters, similar to the sets you'd get for traveling.
Thank you
You are welcome.
Thank you for your videos and all the helpful information. What would you suggest me to buy to help with my jowl vs jawline: nuface mini or Medicube Age-R Derma EMS shot if I can afford to get only one of them. Thank you for your advice.
Out of these two, the Medicube is the one that will have more results, but for both it will be very subtle.
i have used Derma EMS shot for 01 year now and I highly rcm you buy this, worth every penny
@@bichngocnguyenthi5521 Thank you for sharing your experience.
@@bichngocnguyenthi5521 Thank you.

What generic gel do u purchase?
Just look for conductive gel on Amazon to see what is best available where you live.
@@DoctorAnne thank you!

Hi Dr Anne, can I use ultrasound gel?
Yes.
Thanks a lot. How about Aloe Vera gel?
Thank you for the reply. I am using NuFace device and now I am adding Medicube Deep Shot. Do I need two different gels or can I use ultrasound for both or Aloe Vera gel for both.
@@ElenaWelsh You can use the same gel for both- that is what I do.
@@ElenaWelsh I haven't tried that myself, but it should work.
Hi can we use this to tighten belly skin?
In theory it can tighten different body parts, but as this has pretty small surface, I don't think it would work too well on larger areas.
@@DoctorAnne thank u fr ur response. Also, m concerned this ultrasound energy might pentrate deeper into organs inside stomach.
@@MrVelonleon I wouldn't worry about that. The organs in your body are deeper than the tissue that gets targeted in the face.
Hi doc. Can u plz suggest for neck saggy loose skin of a 30 year old gal due to weight loss. Is lazer resurfacing better or RF microneedling?
@@MrVelonleon It is best to see a provider that offers these procedures so they can assess your skin in person and give you the ideal treatment options.
Hi doc can i use retinol after this
Yes, you can do your normal routine afterwards, but for some people it is a little intense, so see how you personally react.
@@DoctorAnne thanks doc, is it ok if i use the face massager everyday? My jowline is a bit itchy is it normal?after hifu procedure kind regards thanks
@@amayaseneca4741 I wouldn't use it daily, the skin needs time to repair, especially if your skin gets itchy.
@@DoctorAnne thank you so much😊
@@amayaseneca4741 You are welcome.
Can you share what conductive gel you use, please? I've looked and don't know how to make sure I have the right one to use with this device. Thank you!
If you want to be 100% sure, buy the one the brand offers alongside the device. I have used cheap ones from Amazon in the past, some worked very well, others not so much. Right now I am using the ones that come with the ZIIP device.
When I used even level 1, I sometimes get a sting which hurts. Do you get that? Can’t imagine you are even using level 4….
Do you use enough conductive gel? That is my secret, lots and lots of gel.
Dr. Anne I don't know what you mean that it burns in the highest intensity. Mine does not at level 5 at all. Do you think I have a defective one?😮 I just bought mine from the company itself. I only experienced major skin burns with the HIFU mini... With this I don't have this problem.
Every skin is different and the way we perceive things in terms of heat varies. It never burned my skin, but in the first few weeks, I found the highest level uncomfortable hot. I don't anymore though, my skin got used to it. So no need to worry, you are probably better used to heat than I am.
@@DoctorAnne Maybe. Well anyway this morning after using this for the second time looks pretty tight this morning. Especially more around the jawline. This thing is awesome!
Are there any other gels you recommend?
I buy whatever I can find cheap online - my current one is from infimedix, but I am not sure if you can get it outside Germany.
I stopped watching Tati when she swapped from a mostly plant-based diet to a carnivore diet and started talk about God a lot. She also uses the EWG and dislikes preservatives, sulphates, talc, mineral oil. I would personally be more worried about the health consequences of eating mostly only meat than putting some phenoxyethanol on my skin.
I have had my 4th pulse dye laser session today and I would say there have been improvements but not to the extent that others show on Reddit. The circle areas of my skin that blanch afterwards seem to redden up pretty fast and then there is more of a diffuse reduction rather than the obvious circle pattern. I know the model of the laser effects this. It is not a v-beam device.
The procedure is quite uncomfortable and does cause some purpura and swelling because of the setting that has to be used for my skin. I would say someone with a typical amount of redness wouldn’t have to bruise. But I don’t see the 6 treatments I paid for being enough for complete resolution, so I will probably have to pay for more. I was saving for laser eye surgery but I think my eyesight is still getting worse anyways
I am saving up for eye surgery as well, I want to get it done before I need reading glasses due to my age...
I don't really watch Tati, the video is just plastered on the website, so I noticed it and thought the title was catchy.
@@DoctorAnne I absolutely hate glasses. I have been using contact lenses since I was a teenager. They aren’t very fun either. I have slightly high IOP and started taking escitalopram which caused some eye pain for the first week, so that probably isn’t helping. But an ophthalmologist said that i was a candidate. Cannot test IOP with the air device because my corneas are thick.
I have been more into fragrance videos at the moment. A bit weird because I only like the smell of two perfumes on me: Jimmy choo urban hero and Creed Aventus for her. The first one is generally disliked and the second polarising, so the videos can be offensive
@@moose8762 Fragrance is a topic I know nothing about, I have one go to perfume and rarely stray from that.
@@MrsPaulaTorres I don’t know what caused your specific health problems; perhaps you were fed a nutritionally deficient diet but there is more than sufficient evidence that vegan diets can be healthy. More than that, that people who reduced meat consumption and swap those calories with plants have better health outcomes. It is always smart to take a B12 and maybe D3 supplement for reassurance but vegans aren’t worse off than everyone else in general.
I think a carnivore diet is pretty dangerous. The low consumption/absence of fibre in the diet is incredibly bad for the gut and red meat is potentially inflammatory for the intestines. You increase your risk of GI cancer when you reduce fibre intake. You are also getting no phytonutrients and antioxidant phytochemicals. Your consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol will be high and you could be eating a lot of trans fats compared to people who eat more plants. We have anthropological evidence that people who live in parts of the world where they don’t have access to plants and have to eat mostly meat based diets have high levels of cardiovascular disease.
I know a lot of grifters on the internet are trying to sell the carnivore diet for profit but it is likely going to harm a lot of people. And a lot of these people are vulnerable and suffering from chronic diseases and desperate for any promise of a solution. I don’t think you would ever get ethical approval to run an RCT that involved telling a group to only eat red meat products for months or years because the body of evidence very strongly suggests that excessive consumption of meat is not healthy.
@@DoctorAnne First time viewer & I really, REALLY enjoyed your video! It was very informative & clear - no hype ... you make education interesting! I've just subbed & I wish you every success with your channel. Out of curiosity (as I am a perfume lover!), what is your go-to fragrance?!
