I have been using the RF Dot Matrix for two and a half months now. I am happy with the clean line of my jaw, but lately I've decided to not use it as much as I have been. My cheeks are starting to look too 'sculpted' and I'm afraid to lose any more fat in them. Since I just stopped using it and the skin takes about a month to respond, I am honestly a little afraid that I've done too much and I'm going to look like one of those old Thermage photos which appeared when it first came out.
Anyone else noticing such changes? |

I haven't seen anything to speak of yet. I've used it 4 times, and I keep breaking out. Too many times for it to be a coincidence. Itchy rashes, it's the weirdest thing. I've used the gel that comes with it, aloe vera, and plain water, and I get zapped and then break out. I haven't noticed any reduction in wrinkles or sagging yet, but still hope to. I obviously haven't used it enough for any changes to be noticeable.
I'm not familiar with the old thermage photos, will have to see if I can find them! |

I have had a problem with a rash on my hands when I try to use it on them, too. They look so bad that I thought maybe it would help. I also broke out in a rash when I used it on the inside of my elbows, and the rash hasn't gone away. I am pretty sure it was caused by the DM because my hands and elbows' rash appeared the next morning after I used it for the first time on them. I wonder if it might be some kind of allergy to the metal in the head. I have also noticed that my skin is looking kind of 'off'. Nothing else has changed in my treatments except the use of the DM.
The old Thermage photos show women who had inept treatments from unskilled techs. (That was about ten years ago.) The fat was melted out of their faces and they looked skeletal.
I really think this product is good, but I'm just going to exercise some restraint. |

Good idea....restraint! I agree that it may be a good thing. I have a wedding to go to next weekend so I'm dying to really go to town on my face but I'm afraid of the rashes. So I'm going to switch back to the dermaroller until after next weekend, and then work on my mouth and chin area. Continued good luck with yours!
That's a good thought about possibly being allergic to the metal. I hadn't thought of that, I was thinking it was bringing things to the surface or causing mini eruptions  |

| The metal allergy might just be the culprit. I have very sensitive skin but have not had any outbreaks at all with it. |
