Uso Tripollar desde hace casi tres años y no lo cambio por nada. Es efectivo y una inversión que hay que hacer para mantener la piel en su sitio. Mucho más que cualquier cosmético, evidentemente todo suma, pero este cacharrito hace que tu piel incremente de forma natural la creación de colágeno y elastina. Y eso es innegociable a según qué edades. Lo he recomendado hasta la saciedad y pienso seguir haciéndolo.

I am someone who has paid for in-office radiofrequency, treatments, and swears by them,  especially for my lower face and neck. I use a home device to try and maintain my results as long as I can. This is my second home radio frequency device.  I bought it to replace my first device after that device started overheating and was burning me and causing skin dryness.  After a bit of research and discovering a really good sale, I chose this one!  Pros for the device:  it’s attractive! I have the rose version and it’s really pretty.  Easy to use.  Has a decent size treatment head.  I really like the gel that came with it,  it seems to have excellent slip  and stays moist for a long time, and is easy to rinse off.  the treatment temperature is comfortable and doesn’t seem to overheat.  I’ve been using the device for a few weeks, and I do feel like my skin looks plump and smoother, although, of course, the results of any home device are going to be subtle. Cons for the device: like all devices of this type, it can’t be used over the thyroid, so you must be cautious near your neck.  It is corded, which doesn’t bother me, but might bother some people.  It has a little light that comes on when your skin reaches temperature..  but it doesn’t really provide any information or guidance on how long to use the device on an area after it has reached temperature.  The instructions just say “for a few moments.” Huh?! How long is a “moment?”  I  have observed that during a professional treatment the technician stayed in each area for 30 seconds after it had reached temperature so that’s what I did with this device.  Doing that, though… Does take quite a while to do your whole face, so it can be time consuming. Overall I am pleased with the device especially at the sale price! I will continue to use it 3x a week or so. I also like to leave the conductive gel on and use the same application of gel for a microcurrent treatment, which is a great way to get more out of the $$ you spend on gel.

I've tried everything from cleansing brushes (i.e., PMD Cleansing Facial Wand, Foreo, etc.) to ionic devices to micro-current tools like the NuFace. The Tripollar Stop VX is one of my favorites. What is it? Using radio frequency technology, this device stimulates dermal activity to naturally produce collagen, improving your skin's contours and overall condition. You might be unfamiliar with RF, but what about Vivace or Thermage? It uses the same multi-RF technology that heats deep layers of the skin as the Tripollar Stop VX. In just eight weeks, this device reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, slows the aging process, and reverses the signs of aging. Radiofrequency (RF) energy produces heat by utilizing tissue resistance within various layers of the skin. Through this process, our body will release heat-shock proteins, thus stimulating collagen synthesis. There is no need to worry. The heat is transferred to the deeper layers, so your skin's surface level is safe from a safety standpoint. In addition, energy is only emitted if the electrodes are in complete contact with the skin and the handpiece moves. How do you use this device? First, primer is required, and to help transfer the heat, you must apply a thin layer of their Stop Preparation Gel beforehand. While the device will initially feel hot, it is tolerable if you are sensitive to heat since it continuously moves over your skin in circular motions. Since I've become accustomed to it, I find the heat quite relaxing. You will not experience any irritations, but your skin will be flushed. I always follow up with a sheet mask to cool my skin down. My forehead and chin do not require much attention, but I treat both sides of my face in about 10-12 minutes. (I usually meditate or listen to my favorite podcast during treatment.) Your nose, eyelids, thyroid, and neck lymph nodes should be avoided. RF technology has been shown to improve facial firmness, fine lines, and mild sun damage. At-home facial devices won't provide the same efficacy as treatments at your dermatologist's office, but the technology is promising. Instructions: After cleansing and drying your face in the evening, do not apply any other skincare products. The preparation gel should be applied thinly to the areas where it will be treated. A thin layer of gel should cover your skin; less is more. For both cheeks, I use half a pea-sized amount. Set your device to the appropriate setting. Once your skin can tolerate the warmth/pain, you can adjust to a higher level. The forehead, left cheek, and right cheek should be divided into three sections. Using continuous, slow, small, and circular motions, move the device across your skin. Move the device in the same area until you see the orange light illuminate and hear a beep. At that point, the temperature is at the optimal level. Follow up with 1-2 more circles, then move on to the next area until you've treated the entire area. Now we're going to switch to linear motions. For your nasolabial folds, move the device slowly from the bottom to the top of the fold in one linear motion. Repeat the motion 10-20 times. Starting right below your chin, move the device upward linearly along your jawline contour. You can switch to the blue DMA + RF mode for this step only. Repeat the motion 10-20 times. You can now switch to the next section. Once all three sections are complete, rinse the remaining gel with water. Continue with your regular skincare routine.
