9 Home RF Skin Tightening Mistakes That Ruin Results | Home Thermage

[@SaraFJones]

Mistakes (please add if it’s missing bits) 1. Using too high a setting too early and often 2. Don’t use oil based products 3. Not using serums before to misturize 4. Using the machine too often, once a month follows collagen cycle 5. Use UV protection 6. Cool skin down after with cold water or ice pack, helps blood flow and repair 6. Don’t use on day of shaving or exfoliating, use HA before if you do 7. Don’t target the wrong areas (eyelids, too close to the mouth, over the thyroid glands) 8. Clean the wand properly before and after with alcohol 9. Use sunscreen, RF makes dermis more sensitive

I think he is referring to professional rf devices, i have the Newa device its very gentle and its recommended to use 5 days a week in the first month as it is quite weak compared to professional devices

[@amremnant]

@@shantelfox5742 He mentioned "at home" specifically. I heard it was once a week. I'm going to start once a month then see how it goes.

[@timothyheath577]

Wow! So glad I found your channel. My RF wand arrived today. Before clicking here, I did pretty much everything you’ve just explained to us NOT to do. So glad I now know. Gonna have a look at your other posts. Thank you so much for your wise words, tips and information. I think you’ve just saved me from potentially really messing up my face. It really is much appreciated. Thank you. J x ☺️

This is long overdue . I just adore you , and your delivery style.. I am 56 so I know I probably have 20 years on you. I have always loved skincare . Back then it was trial and error. The very basics of skin health are the same, but we have acess to much more, almost too much. I just discovered you tube skin care about 7 months ago. I have listened to lots of different people. And everyone has a a unique quality.i ha e learned so much.. I keep returning to the same few people, but you are my absolute favorite. Although I'm older your content focuses on making your own improvements and working with what you have. You have proved it is possible to anti age yourself. You are a trooper for doing everything out there and filming it. It really helps to hear and see some of these things. From the things I've learned from you my skin has made some improvements. I want to invest in rf. My mid to lower face some tightening ,. You ha e transformed the areas I would like to smooth out. I've watched all your tutorials several times. You also Crack me up. You are just so sweet and really care about giving your followers the best info so they can make good choices for their own concerns. You have given me the knowledge and confidence to anti age my own skin. Thanks so much

[@luisaserban2222]

Thank you for this video, it's very helpful. I just received my RF device and I already gave it a go. I was scared of it so I used at the minimum level and for 10 min only and I must say I am glad I did. Don't need any more. The skin looks so good. I did not know it's best to use them once a month, I thought it was twice a week so I am glad I watched this before I did the next session. Once again, thank you.

[@petraaaaron4267]

Which machine is possible to work with in the area between lip and nose?Hifu? Or only Microneedling?Thanks lot...❤

How often should I use to to tighten the jawline and get rid of fat under chin? Thank you for this. I was making every mistake. Glad to find this since I just started a few days ago.

[@annamccosker7878]

You're the best,thx again for advising against the pitfalls! It seems like I'm always the last to know when it comes to this type of thing, but you've already set me up for success before I start on my RF journey🙂

[@BasyaGutmann-zu7re]

Which rf machine do you recommend?

[@Anikanoteven]

Super helpful!! I’ve been looking at influencers talking up the Lumo. Some use it every day and others a couple times of week. I don’t understand as you make it clear that collagen needs 4 to 6 weeks to rebuild. That makes sense to me.

[@TJTutorials]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scorpiokiwi8799]

This is So helpful! I just received my machine and watching your videos again to get ready for my first use. Thanks 🙏

Hi there! How are you results coming? Also, any fat loss that you noticed?

[@gillianlee8514]

Your skin looks fabulous. I’m going very slowly with mine having just turned 60, I want to get that lift and tighten a few areas. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Xx Ive been studying your tutorials and good to have a road map. I use a microfibre cloth for cleaning the heads and another to dry it.

[@Heatherrosesingsanddances]

Hi and ty! I purchased a nebulyft Skin tightening device and asked customer service if I was supposed to use it as they recommended it which was every day. I mentioned that you and a few other KZbin errs Recommend it just once or twice a month. But the company said it doesn’t heat up my skin as significantly as the devices that you use. Anyway I just wanted to run it by you because I am following their instructions and using it every day but on a three instead of a five and I started off with the one went up to her to know I’m at a three. So anyway what do you think?

[@RK-su4hs]

In another video you mentioned ‘doing a treatment every 3 days initially for one month/six weeks In this video you mention’ideal is one treatment per month Would you clarify the treatment frequency you recommend for Initial. After first six weeks. Ongoing long term Thankyou Nb looking like a younger Tom Cruise :-)

[@shanshancc]

I am so glad that I came across you video before using RF device. There are so many mistakes you mentioned that I would likely do during the treatment.

[@JkrJolt]

Please suggest a combination routine of RF, Led mask and Dr Pen for best results. RF once a month, and Dr pen the next month? Can Led mask be used in between?

Love your video! Very gray and useful tips! What type of glycerin do you recommend for the face?

[@TJTutorials]

When it comes to glycerin for the face, it's best to look for high-quality, pure, and cosmetic-grade glycerin. Vegetable glycerin is a popular and safe option for skincare purposes, as it is derived from plant sources and is generally well-tolerated by most skin types. :)

[@FlygirlFunnyLady]

Great KZbin and informational! I was only planning to use for my larger body areas for fat loss. How come did your larger body wand tip need to be thrown away? Because you didn’t use and didn’t clean periodically even though you didn’t use? Thank you!

[@piamadison5539]

Fantastic video. Can I ask if it is safe to treat on brow bone area if you have permanant tattooed eyebrows. Will they stain or burn?

[@TJTutorials]

Fantastic question. I'll let you in on a little secret, half of my brows are tattooed on 😉 The thing with RF is that its main depth of action is in the hypodermis, which is well below where the pigment from tattoos is deposited in the upper dermis and epidermis. While I can't say it 100% won't fade tattoos, there are no reports or studies on it and my own personal experience with RF hasn't impacted the ink in the slightest. Hope this helps 😊

[@golanyag7244]

Hi, can I use it in the chest area (décolleté) and can it be used over the upper lip (where there are smoking wrinkles) I just bought the NEWA and it's weird why they only explain three treatment areas. To the cheeks and under the chin. Thank you :))

[@TJTutorials]

Hi Patricia, if you check my channel I have lots of videos and tutorials with this RF machine. I'll be doing another treatment soon, so stay tuned. You can use it on the body as it comes with larger body attachments. Generally, I will use it for 10-15 minutes per area on my face for best results, but start of low and with short treatments and work your way up 😁

Did you do toxin too? Dysport, botox? Thx

Hi, your videos are great! I got my machine in June and used it once a month since then. However, I have noticed today that the attachments were getting a lot hotter and making that horrible noise, like little electric shocks.Any idea why?

That happens when you use an oil based or oily moisturizer you can't use those they actually start to fry you and the machine you have to use the gels

[@gwenh.5578]

Hi. I love your videos. I haven’t seen them all, only a few. My question is have you tried cavitation machines that are lower than 40k like 20-30k? If you have, which did you prefer? And also, they have some that are 60k. Which do you recommend if you’ve tried them? Thanks I’m advance. 🙂

[@TJTutorials]

Hi Gwen H. I've only tried the 40k cavitation machine. It works well on the stomach and love handles, as well as sculpting the thighs and lower back. However, while there are definitely results from regular use, it's nothing mind blowing. But every little helps when it comes to stubborn fat deposits. I'll look at trying a few other cavitation machines this year and see if I can answer this better for you in the future 🙂

[@gwenh.5578]

@@TJTutorials yay! Thank you. ❤️

[@fiona3821]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏽 My machine says 2 x a week

[@TJTutorials]

You can use it 2 X a week if only doing a low-intensity 10-minute treatment. As I use mine following professional-grade protocols, I follow the pro usage guidelines as used in the salon. The longer and deeper the intensity, the less often it's used ☺️

I definitely made some of these mistakes and my skin looks worse :( did I make permanent damage? Or will I be okay if I correct going forward?

[@TJTutorials]

Things can be reversed if the damage isn't too bad. I'd say give your skin a good 12 weeks rest and let it regenerate and replenish collagen levels. Then restart from there with your new routine 😁
