My wife adores this man. He's an amazingly talented doctor.

She loves him or you love him? Lol

[@jeannineterese1037]

I bet she does…

[@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.

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

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

[@eslaigersten7022]

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

Agreed.

[@wingsphysio]

Thank God for this gorgeous intelligent man! A rare gem! 💎

[@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.

[@skinrepairaddict]

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

[@sashaafify1959]

Amazing explanation!! Thank you!

[@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.

[@KH-sd8kr]

Wish i could hit like more than once. Extremely informative video. I will need to watch it o few more times to get all the info out of it.

[@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?

[@user-yw4kk3em7i]

Hi Dr. Talei, this video was very helpful. I feel the same way about many of these devices. Thank you

[@cherylanderson72]

Thanks so much for this information, just sooo good to know, your honest opinion and review,it will certainly makes us think before we spend our money 😊

[@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

[@kathien7508]

Very helpful, saved me from making a likely mistake. Much appreciated.

[@aeducator1]

Smart choice.

[@legendofbillyjean]

Love this video! Chock full of important info. What is your opinion of forma facial?

[@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”?

[@kelleym3844]

Super. Thank you for the information!

[@Anonymous-sh3ig]

Just subscribed. Thank you Just love listening to an interesting intelligent man.

[@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.

[@kaijadog]

Thanks that was all very very interesting I am curious about potential risks associated with inmode and forma on the face

[@SelfLoveU]

WOW Wonderful information. THANK YOU!!!

[@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.

[@silviap9875]

Thank you Dr Ben - very informative and candid explanation. What do you think of Accent for face and body skin tightening? I’m having this treatment soon for face tightening. Hope it is effective 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊👍🏻

[@SalinaMarie777]

The best video I've seen on youtube. Your intelligence is very impressive. You didn't mention Scarlet RF. I'm curious how it compares and if you like it. Thanks for all the grass information. I needed to hear all of this. Lol

[@natalienetanya7401]

Thanks for sharing. Your skin looks great!

[@yj4484]

Great information. Thank you.

[@danestheticsmedical]

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

[@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?

[@simratsandhu4876]

Very informative!!!!

[@myriammb2728]

Hello, thanks for all these details explained and for your sincerity! What do you think about the Tripollar eyes / VX devices (to used at home). This could damage my skin at long term use? I have small wrinkles under my eyes and dark circles, might tripollar device be helpful? Thanks

[@kristinahill2641]

great video doctor

[@karamuenster]

👏🏻👏🏻 You rock Doc.

[@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.

[@theresanoble4687]

Thank you for your honesty! What do you think of the Tripollar Rose Special edition? Theresa

[@beverlyhillscenterforplast3624]

I’m not familiar with it. But it sounds cool ;)

[@mamijojo6446]

Hi doc . How about fraxel vs morpheus 8, to achieve the target which one better faster n not many session?

[@angelinavitaleco9640]

Wonderful!!!!! Thank you. What about Protenza????

[@aliciapa-c6996]

wow... had to go back and watch agian.. so much info in such little time.. lol!

[@veeivezaj]

I've done softwave therapy twice and noticed a little aging a year later. Am I screwed? Will it worsen?

[@rachsumi]

What about exillis elite for skin tightening for skin of colour?

[@kjh1892]

It it safe to use Profound a few months after a lower facelift? It won't affect the SMAS?

[@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!!!

[@leydianayfeh1580]

What do you recommend for malar edema from tear trough filler? Profound or Morpheus 8?

[@LaChicaCumbiaMexico]

So Dr. Talei, I had chin lipo and they are recommending me to do Ultherapy for the lose skin.. please advise 🙏

[@apriljohnson1067]

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

[@ilhamlyamani3940]

Hi I just had one session of secret RF and felt that the fat around in my jawline and lower cheeks melted which I didn’t like. I am supposed to have two more sessions but I am scared now.

[@itsthatnoigirl]

Is there a difference between thermismooth and thermi Rf?

[@galiandmagic]

Brilliant 🙌🙌🙌 finally a phenomenal Doctor who shares the truth in the most educated way. Thank you so much 💓 💗

[@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 ?

[@mamijojo6446]

How much is profound cost for face in ur clinic doc? Or in general

[@Emma-fz9sr]

thank you very much .

[@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!

[@mbouae5533]

so j plasma doesn't tighten after liposuction?

[@marthacabrera1304]

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

[@lightningandthunder2861]

Wow what a great video

[@Rambat]

I would love to hear your thoughts on the brand new Profound Matrix. I wanna get one!

[@carolabney]

Thank you for this very informative video! I know it’s not a heat based device, but I’m wondering your opinion of Ellacor microcoring?

[@sandi7858]

I’ve heard reviews that it doesn’t do much for you…sad, because I was hoping for good reviews for it. 😕

[@illuminata8097]

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.

[@rafaelviaro860]

I had an ulthera brow lift scheduled for this Thursday, I’m canceling it, thank you!

[@jioce1]

great content thank you

[@lyndabaker4212]

Which one would you recommend for skin that hyperpigments?

[@audreyam]

Thanks for all the educating you do. So helpful! Can you use Morpheus and Profound on the neck, or do you only use on face?

[@fireflyfarmletontheeno777]

Could you speak to the Thermiva type devices (RF) for vaginal rejuvenation? Any known unwanted long term effects?

[@isabeld8621]

What is your opinion about Forma and PRP treatments

[@yavartambrchi5124]

What category is Hifu treatment?

Keeping it real 💯

[@MarcelaIglesias]

Great video💯⬆️

[@diane2943]

Can I please get your opinion on The Focus Dual technology for lower face/jawline? Your videos are so informative! thank you

[@aeducator1]

It's the same heat based technology. Very disruptive to fat cells.

[@StellaM22]

I got plamsa pen done on my eyes and it was great… loose skin gone from lower lids. Hard healing process though. Im sure there are better options

[@Amelie-ri5ct]

What do you think about endolift ? Worth to try?

[@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.

[@lagirl6874]

@@knicole2519 Nicole just wondering satisfied are you with a Morpheous8 I am on my first session and scared to go to the next two because of the pain. Are you very content with your final result? I just had my done three days ago, I have another one scheduled in a month. And thank you for sharing !!

[@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!

[@timoteo950]

@@lagirl6874 I've already received two treatments from Vivace and feel very little from it. The numbing cream is put on 1/2 hour before. You might want to look into Vivace.

[@Spicydoc1]

Do home devices do the same deleterious consequences on the face, Like radio frequency?

[@amybryantmolley5495]

Can the Halo Laser by Sciton cause fat loss?

[@mariaisabella7397]

Exactly what happened to me, 1 year after my ultherapy. My face was flat and got worse now. Such a shame that doctors propose these devices only for money.

[@Elizabeth-nx6us]

What would the Pixel8 device (microneedling with RF) be considered in the categories you explain in this video?

[@lisalynn9696]

Please let us know 🙏

[@lightningandthunder2861]

Profound or Morpheus8 for jowls

[@borimom]

Too bad. I have done ulthera 5times. Can you review about JetPeel? It’s air penetration without heat or current. Thanks.

[@MedicalMystery]

what happens if you had ulthera once and already have some increased dryness and damage from it, can this be improved, treated or reversed?

[@kapochan6688]

What do you think about Tixel?

[@LenaMMcKee]

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 .

[@katnonya9513]

Hi Dr can you elaborate further on the Morphuses 8 plz ? I Need to tighten the turkey gobble just under the chin area, Minimal loose skin will this be a good way to tighten that skin? Thank you ☺️

Hi Kat, a combination of whole body exercise and facial exercises are your best bet.

Yes if it’s minimal and not excessive

Can a Indian brown skin do profound laser?

[@nz2737]

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

[@sweetpea6230]

what do you think of vivace with prp???

[@beverlyhillscenterforplast3624]

Never used it myself

[@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

[@melanie6771]

I am so glad I watched this! I was thinking of using one of these at home devices that use ultrasound or radio frequency waves. It sounds like at best it will do nothing and at worst it will make me look worse. Yikes! Thank you Doctor. Buyer Beware!

[@marklee1960]

Look into the Omnilux red light therapy devices. And Retin A

[@melanie6771]

@@marklee1960 Thanks. I have been using RetinA for years, since I was a teenager. And yes I think it must work well. Most people cannot believe my age. Still I want to look better. I am thinking about getting Fractal CO2. I have very fair skin, blonde hair, blue-grey eyes and will burn and freckle in the sun. What do you think?

[@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.

[@natalienetanya7401]

Are you referring to Morpheus 8?
