@EnglishRoseIrishRover if you like small, portable and quick the Bear is a good one. Nuface have brought out a more expensive gel primer, it looks like they've discontinued the old one
Thanks! And I’d begun to wonder if the old one was discontinued
I’ve ordered a Nuface Mini 
Exciting! Let us know how you find it
I wouldn't be without mine.I’ve ordered a Nuface Mini
Sorry to quote myself but I just wanted to give an update.
I received it in the 10th August and had hoped I’d have a full 60 days to test it before deciding. However, QVC used to give you an extra weeks “grace” to allow for delivery/return times but not any more I’m afraid , they wanted it returned by 6th Oct which was exactly the 2 months from ordering (not receipt).
Anyway, just after receiving it, I caught Covid so I didn’t feel like using it for the first 10 days which was a pain.
After that, I’d say I used it times a week.
At the beginning of last week I had noticed zero difference to my skin (been using just over a month) so decided I’d return it this coming week. I was so disappointed but £200 is a lot to pay for something that did nothing.
Then on Thursday morning I looked in the mirror and noticed my crows feet were softer. I thought perhaps I’d just not slept as heavily that night so checked again that night and every morning and night since. Yes they definitely aren’t as deep as they were before. It’s very subtle, and I doubt anyone else will notice but I can.
I think I’ll carry on with the 5 times a week because it’s so easy. I don’t know if my skin will improve more with regular use or just stay as it is now - perhaps someone who has an LED device could advise.
PS I’ve also been placing it flat on my décolletage but not noticed any change there yet.
Lumi eyes? Anyone?
I am in my 50's and never had anything done. My eyes are puffy and always look tired. A friend recommended eye trough filler. I went for a free consultation but was told I would not be suitable as it can make your eyes puffier. She did recommend filler in cheeks and just under eye area to lift and brighten. The cost quoted is £510 for Teoxane range of filler and RHA 2.4 ml. Is this a fair price?
I am still undecided if I will go ahead mainly being scared it will go wrong.

I don't think it answers your question but I was watching this video at the weekend and I think backs up what you were told about it not being suitable, if it is helpful to hear someone else support that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV-VbyNhzUM. With filler it is more reversible than surgical treatments would be because you can get it dissolved (although last time I got Botox my doctor mentioned there had been a hyaluronidase shortage and he had struggled to get it when he was asked to correct some work by MCR Aesthetics). Dr Chan also has an interesting video about dissolving filler. If you want to alleviate concerns about things going wrong I would ask whoever you are seeing to talk you through the process to reassure you that either they are able to dissolve filler or they have a protocol in place to send you to the right people if needed. There are always risks with any kind of treatment so it is really important to weigh up whether the potential gain is worth the potential risks to you. Everyone's mileage varies.
I went to see a doctor last year because I wanted to look into CO2 laser resurfacing for around my eyes (I have had one lot of tear trough fillers and don't regret them as I haven't yet experienced any puffiness or other adverse effects but had already decided I wouldn't repeat the treatment before watching Dr Chan's video!). There are a few doctors on tiktok who recommend various combinations of blepheroplasty/laser resurfacing/fat grafts to address ageing around the eyes, but they are all US-based so I wanted to explore similar options here. Really struggled to find anyone doing lower lid fat graft - my impression is that doctors here consider it too high risk/too low reward to be worth offering. I saw a doctor who specialises in laser treatments and his advice was basically it wasn't worth doing right now. He talked me through a lot of future options and timelines and was clearly knowledgable, and it was reassuring to speak to a practitioner who wasn't willing to just do whatever I wanted. It felt a bit galling at first to have paid £££ and to not end up with any treatment outcome but I'm really glad I did. If you're on the fence, it might be worth getting a second opinion from someone else?
I haven't posted for a while, but I bought the Tripollar stop vx over the summer. I haven't been overly diligent about using it as it was so hot, but even using it once a week makes a difference, I think my neck looks better and my jawline and cheekbones definitely look more lifted. I spend 25 mins doing it (in front of the TV with a mirror). I really like my NuFace but would say this is better. I'm usually good at using my devices over the winter so will hopefully use it more than once a week - will report back if I see other results.
Want! It's quite pricey though!
Has anyone had a thread lift and can offer advice please
Just to say no, I haven't. Although I do a lot - regular Botox and filler - I don't think I'd consider a thread lift. Not sure why - I suppose it seems more invasive.
Good luck if you do go ahead.
Would avoid. From what I understand the procedure is performed blind- that is without image guidance. The risk being that the operator can puncture your salivary and parotid glands, as well as several nerves. Have seen all sorts of hideous complications that end up more unsightly- weird lumps and scarring- coming to the Max-Fax clinic.
Oh I have an appointment for tomorrow
I preferred this idea than fillersI've been eyeing up the Sensica Sensilift for ages and have been waiting for it to go on sale in Boots. Well it finally did and with a further 10% off, I went for it. I have the mini already and will continue to use that on some areas (neck, forehead) but I wanted the Sensilift for the massage function that the mini doesn't have
Interested to know where you slot mini and this new one into your routine? It’s that time of year where I feel an inspired by SV purchase coming on
The mini I only need to use once a month! With the sensica treatments you use them once a week for 8 weeks and then move to once a month or every 8 weeks after that. I'll use it on my least problematic areas which are neck and forehead, I'm hoping the new device will help my nasiolabial folds!
Thanks for the advice. I had filler instead and an beyond happy with the results
