[@kerinflattery2239]

Thank you for this thorough and great information! Do you have any thoughts on Softwave being safer than Ulthera or Thermage? I think Softwave only targets superficial layer not deep like the others.

[@HopeLoveLiving]

Excellent video with thorough descriptions. Thank you!!! I love all the information you share.

[@lingchinn2389]

What a great informative video I've been so confused on what the best device to use for the face. This confirmed that Profound is the best to use for the lower face.

[@dianamc8136]

So thankful you bring this topic to table . The integrity first and people ignore this and trust in any call doctors but not necessary good informed

[@Theskincouncelor]

Hallelujah 🧚🏻‍♀️thanks for your channel. As a humble aesthetic nurse, seeking to to highest good for my patients I so relieved to find your channel. I feel like I am a guide to help women find solutions. Being tossed around by reps, Social media and all the BS, I love the authenticity I feel from your videos.

[@karamuenster]

Hi there! I appreciate your comment, and i wonder if the facial rf is among the "safe" ones?

[@bonniemanchur9205]

Thank you so much for explaining the physics behind heat therapy. Very informative.

[@aeducator1]

Agreed.

[@claudiacanty7261]

Thank you so much for your candor. I have been searching for a non surgical boost for my face and neck. I've been steered to fat melting non surgical methods and have questioned them as to why would I want to lose fat in my face. I have been told many things ( by spas and Dr.s that are not cosmetic or plastic surgeons or dermatologists) that obviously are partial truths about heat, laser, and RF treatments. Based on your INFO I know to steer clear of Exilis, Aluma, Thermage, Tixel and other heat based face treatments that " melt" fat at my age(68). I need to keep all the fat I can keep. It adds youthfulness. I appreciate you. Still searching for the best fit for me.

This video was exactly what I needed to make my decision! Thank you very much for sharing your incredible knowledge!

[@lagirl6874]

Thank you so much for this information. I started having doubts about doing the Morpheous8, it was very painful they did put numbing cream on my face but as I was getting it done I was having regrets I noticed my face is swollen this morning a day after but the wrinkles are gone! You taught me that the swelling is the reason the wrinkles are gone but watching further into the video you said it was safe so I feel more confident🙏This is my first session of Morpheous8, Ihave two more to go.Thank you so much for your information God bless you!

[@mable430]

Do you mind telling me how are your face now? I also just had the first session of M8

[@aeducator1]

LA Girl, he pointed out that RF frequency is generally not safe for the upper face. We work with people who've suffered damage to facial fat as a result of heat based therapies and they tell us that the damage sometimes takes a few months to reveal itself. Hope that is not the case for you. But even if it is, don't worry. The face can recover.

[@minhtam5193]

Hi how is your skin now? Do you notice any damage

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

Terrific, thank you. Answered a lot of questions I had and more.

[@danestheticsmedical]

This was a terrific explanation. Thanks. If you ever offer a full discussion on lasers, I’d be all over that.

[@marthacabrera1304]

Do you recommend Morpheus8 to face lifting, or do you consider it dangerous to face fat loss.

[@barbarasloan1784]

Thank you for this very informative video - it should be available to all patients who are considering laser for various reasons. I had one pitted scar and ended up destroying the skin on my face with heat based therapies, especially after I did Halo-major fat loss. Then, even non ablative fraxel and an aggressive laser genesis caused damage-textural/pigment changes. Now I have no idea what to do/where to go, if anything can help. Some day, I would love to find my way to Dr. Talei!! Seems amazing!!!

[@LeslieMiletich]

[@alicemungia1642]

Thank you Dr Ben for your through explanation of the morpheous 8 and facetite therapies. You have educated me in making an informed decision on my next beauty treatments.

[@littlebeebs1]

What depth should a practitioner stay at with RF microneedling? My gut tells me no deeper than .5 since .5 is the depth requirement for regular MN. Any deeper could damage unintended areas , I would think . I want to know so that I can pick the right provider. I’ve heard horror stories from people who let their practitioner go too deep . Thank you ! Wonderful video. Wish I was close enough to let you treat my face . I just have some mild issues. Slight eye bags and loose upper eyelids . Surgery will cost me way too much . I’d be happy with 25-30% improvement.

[@capucinedehlia3757]

Fotona 4D ? Have you heard about it ? It's said that it can remove the nasolabial in between one or three sessions...what do you think ?

[@apriljohnson1067]

Thank you. Signed up for Profound in 2 weeks after considering Morpheus. Hoping this is a better option for me.

[@juliak2591]

Thank you for this detailed explanation. What is the best and safe treatment/procedure to minimize large pores? Is laser to risky? Is micro needling too “fluffy”?

[@Rlove4547]

What do you think about Scarlet SRF? I find all your videos very educational and you have absolutely steered me away from damage to my face.

[@KH-sd8kr]

[@skinrepairaddict]

Wow!!! Thank you so much! What a wealth of information.

[@darias1952]

Thank you for taking time making these videos! After watching a couple of them I just wanted to say that you are a very genuine and pleasant to listen to just as a person, regardless of the content! Im 39 and just recently found out about RF therapy in general, and considering Morpheus 8. Then I saw all your facelift results, and began wondering if doing heat therapy / RF can negatively affect my chances of getting a good result with a face lift ( you mentioned layers getting fused etc) or one can do RF and a face lift later safely. Or if I’m planning on a face lift later at 45-50, better wait and stick with microniddling?

[@aeducator1]

Hi Daria, that's such a good question. No one has studied RF treatment long-term. Unlike face lifts, which have good long term data supporting them. Hope that is helpful.

[@littlebeebs1]

Wow ! You’re brilliant and so helpful! Thank you so so much for this info ! I’ve instinctively known that heat based treatments could be dangerous and damaging. I wish I could visit your office. What is the best modality for mild under eye bags and crepey skin ? And upper eyelids too . Thank you so much!

So Glad I watched this ... was just looki him to buying an RF device.... sad to say but laser away sessions really have done nothing for Me...the best thing for me has been chemical Peels... PRP.... Lateral brow and mini cheek lift . Those things have really made me feel and look brand new .

[@timoteo950]

Very informative. Thank you, Dr. Talei. Also, I was looking at getting RF microneedling. I've narrowed it down between either the Morpheus8 or Vivace procedure but not sure which would be better between the two. By the way, I love my results from the Auralyft I got from your office a year ago. Thanks again.

[@knicole2519]

I’ve done Morpheus 8, a series of two treatments. I didn’t have much loss in elasticity before the treatment, but just enough to notice a difference in tightening. It was noticeable in the before and after pictures. I saw before and after pictures of a woman with much more loss in elasticity before the treatment, and her after pictures showed a more drastic result in tightening after a series of treatments. My skin did look amazing afterwards. Similar results to the dermal layer of the skin can be achieved by microneedling, and prp can always be added to enhance the results. Microneedling can be done every 4 - 6 weeks and is great for collagen building, improving texture, acne scars etc. and makes the skin look beautiful.

[@timoteo950]

@@knicole2519 Thank you Nicole for that input. That procedure along with prp sounds like a good add-on.

[@Chrysalis840]

RF causes fat loss. It is deceiving in that it creeps up gradually and suddenly your face has morphed and you look haggard tired and much older and it’s not reversible! Some women are never bothered by RF and other women report terrible aging and haggard faces beware beware beware!

[@justStardust940]

wow you are so smart and so professional compared to others! i have a question: surgical facelifts and ultherapy target the SMAS. is the assumption that severe sagging of the face has to do with the SMAS erroneous? is sagging/deep folds only from the skin?

Thank you Dr. For all this valuable info. What about red Light skin therapy. Whenever I have, I feel it emits heat. Is that also considered heat therapy that can cause fat loss.

What about Thermage for the legs ?

[@nodramamomma8691]

I had Ultherapy about a month and a half ago and it hurt tremendously, which concerned me if the tech did it correctly. The only thing I wanted was lifted tightened jowls. They lied about EVERYTHING from the start! There are no words to describe how utterly devastated I am and how this ruined my whole life. I want to know if Ultherapy results are bad before they get better(?) it appears I have lost volume and everything is sagging my skin seems destroyed. Are my soft tissues forever permanently damaged I mean is there a chance that they all will regenerate and heal completely like the way they were before? Or will my face never be the same? I haven’t been able to sleep eat relax I wake up in the middle of night crying and shaking. Idk if this is all psychosomatic or what but I need to know all I can about this so-called healing process so that I will know how/what to do to proceed with legal action. Thanks!

[@zsuzsuspetals]

Wow that's awful! I've heard such bad things about Ultherapy! I hope you are doing better now and have healed 😔

What about broadband light? I have severe rosacea from a young age and I have had 6 treatments 1x a month and then 1-3 for maintenance. It’s the only thing that has helped my rosacea but now I’m worried about if it could cause volume loss or speed up my ageing in some other way. If it helps I am your skin tone and have never been burned or bruised by the treatment so I imagine the setting is not that high. I would really appreciate your thoughts

[@sebasalek1]

@@aprilcloyce7426 may i give you a piece of advice? look for red light therapy asap!! It may really help you, but dont stare at the leds with your open eyes while you're doing it!!! (just do it with closed eyes). Just be cautious and use it gradually, always paying attention to the way your body answers to it (i mean, try for at first from far, and then get the device closer and closer to you, but always pay attention cause it shouldnt cause you pain when you're doing it, otherwise it may be hurting you) To resume, it is proven that it decreases swallen tissues, improves local circulation and also improves neural repair. Red light at 660nm increases nitric oxide production (NO) that stimulates schwann cells to produce erythropotein (EPO). EPO is absorbed by the nerve cell, and it induces repair in axonal injury and also provides axonal protection. Also red light induces the photochemical conversion of prostaglandin endoperoxide (which increases pain and inflammation) into prostacyclin endoperoxide (which reduces platelet aggregation), and due to that it increases blood flow in small vessels, faster tissue recovery and decreased pain (due to less prostaglandins). Look for a device which has 660 and 850nm, but always pay attention to the price too, because there are lots of devices that are too overpriced (they're just led lights, they're not THAT expensive!). Show this to your doctor if you have doubts, and ask him about photobiomodulation. Its quite new (most of the research has been done in the last 5 years), but its showing really prompting results... I can't assure you that it will solve all your problems, but it will at least help you with all that pain and swelling!! Hope this helps you sweetheart!!
