Hi,

I am a new member, after reading good reviews about STOP on this forum, I ordered it on 13th Jan, but there is some problem with shipment and I am still waiting for it. Customer service at win-health is very good but they don't know when my issue will be resolved.

Does anyone else had the same problem?

Hi gmann, looks like we are the unlucky ones. Yes, it looks like USPS lost our "container" of mail after leaving the U.K. Oh well. Sad

. No fault of Win-Health. Thank goodness for tracking.

Thanks everyone for all the valuable info you have been sharing with us lurkers. Sorry to say my lost shipment was what brought me out of the closet!

I look forward to receiving my STOP and joining the RF club!

The STOP party just keeps getting bigger!! Laughing

Just to let you know, I had emailed Roy about the use of the LED and STOP together this morning. I received an email from him earlier today saying that he forwarded my email to Halina because he thought she could address my question more so than himself. I will post her thoughts when I receive her reply.......

Bren,

thank you so much.

There are several of us who are interested in combining the LEDs and Stop.

Thanks for being so proactive and, please, let us know what they are going to say.

For your reading pleasure, this just in from Halina and the use of LED's with the STOP:

Hello Brenda

Re your e-mail and question sent to Roy.

There is no problem, Brenda - none at all! AND we know the answers as we are very familiar with not only LEDs - but with laser phototherapy on the whole - and its medical as well as anti aging beauty effects.

Once you start using the Stop, it will be your choice to use the LED after the STOP treatment - you can use it immediately after the Stop - or on days that you will not use the Stop. Light treatment - either with LEDs or with phototherapy lasers - works well alongside the rf treatment.

You can use the light treatment to calm the skin after the Stop treatment or use it on the days that you are not doing your Stop session. Entirely up to you!

Light treatment as in LEDs or phototherapy lasers and the rf treatment as delivered by the STOP are fully compatible and can be performed one after the other, if you wish to treat on the same day. If you opt for this - the most logical way is to use your light device after the Stop. Alternatively - you can use the LEDs on the Stop gap days.

As you know - the light therapy is painless, non-invasive, non irritating and safe to use. It will not irritate your skin even after the Stop treatment. And light therapy works towards the same goal - anti aging skin rejuvenation - just achieves this in a different way than the rf treatment - for cumulative anti aging outcomes.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Halina

Nice going Bren! And just in time for my 3rd STOP treatment tonight ... Dancing

I'm hoping the 3rd time's the charm .. Laughing

It's here!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how fast that was. Ordered it last Monday. It was mailed Wednesday because they waited until they could include the adapter. Only 6 days to get from the UK to Oregon. Thanks Win Health for the superb customer service. Going to finish up all this paperwork on my desk then I plan on doing some reading. Will probably wait until the morning to give it a go.

Yay Frodo .... Time to get on board with the "STOP", and party on with the STOP gang...

How can you possibly wait till tomorrow? I couldn't get mine out of the box fast enough ... Laughing

Darn it!!! I wanna join the STOP party too!! Ahh well, I guess in due time. My sister kindly informed me yesterday that I am being forced on an all girl cruise excursion to Mexico the first week of March....So now as my arm is being twisted must save up for that! Laughing

......and also must think of ways to save the face from the hot Caribbean/Florida sun for 6 days (any suggestions appreciated!! Wink

)

Anywho, one way or another that STOP will be mine!!!!!!....guess overtime is in my future.......

I sent an email to Halina asking her if the STOP would help with the ULL's and broken caps. Her response, in case anyone is interested.

"It is a fantastic device and it generally rejuvenates the skin and lifts the facial features. It literally helps to iron out the wrinkles. As the skin lifts and plumps up with collagen production increased - all kinds of age related flaws are reduced and noticeably minimised, including upper lip lines.

As far as the broken capillaries go - Stop will not remove them, but as it will improve the quality of skin and plump up with more collagen generated, some may become less apparent due to sitting in a better quality and stronger skin."

So, from her email it sounds as if it is for wrinkles, as well as sagging.

Start drinking between 8 and 16 oz of V8 every day.

Apparently getting a certain amount of lycopene (I think 8oz of V8 contains just enough) can increase your skin's "internal" resistance to UV rays by up to 40%, but you need to be getting that amount daily for... I think at least 8 weeks? for it to be effective.

I can't find the original articles I read, but here are a couple different ones:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7370759.stm

http://www.health-outlook.com/2008/12/30/protect-your-skin-from-ultraviolet-rays-with-these-two-antioxidants/

The ones I read last spring were more informative but Google and I can't seem to find them.

Oh, and, I'm totally jealous! Smile

I've got a great idea! You come to Florida and stay at my house and use my STOP, and I'll go with your sister on the cruise ... Laughing

Hey, maybe Bren and her sis can both give the Stop a trial run, and Kassy, you and I can go on the cruise!

Of course, depending on what part of FL you're in, I would probably not mind hanging out there either... I am just in desperate need of sunshine!

Ladies,

thanks for passing all that invaluable info.

I had my 3 Stop sessions so far. I think there are some subtle nice changes, but I want to wait a bit longer to comment.

The treatments are also very pleasant.

LMAO! I'm in bright and sunny Palm Beach, a hop and skip to the ocean... But according to todays newscast, the sharks are in town for their annual baby making, so we best just lounge around poolside.... I'll make us some crazy frozen Dacquari's, and we can STOP to our hearts content ... Laughing

Treatment #3 under my belt as well... Nothing visible to report yet, but I do feel a really nice healthy something going on under the skin.. Just a tingly, alive kind of feeling, that I really like.

The treatments are very easy and enjoyable, the device is very comfortable to hold and use, and the lights are working perfectly. This could easily become my favorite gadget of all time!

Oh, I heard back from Halina regarding my question on treating for 45 minutes, and she said although it isn't harmful, it wouldn't be of benefit either.. So I'm just doing the warmup 15 minutes, and the second pass 15 minutes.

Bren get some heliocare tablets. They increase your internal resistance to UV rays. You take them before you go out in the sun.

http://www.netpharmacy.co.nz/65/group/842/page/1/style/helioOralCap60/Heliocare+Oral+60+Capsules

I love surfing and diving and take them before I go to the beach. Along with a very high SPF and PPD sunscreen.
Typical that I love sun sports and have an aversion to the sun. Rolling Eyes

Wow! Works a lot faster than lycopene..

I absolutely LOVE and need the sun but my *skin* apparently has an aversion to it Crying or Very sad

Have you ever had a chance to really test this stuff? As in, caught out in the sun for longer than expected?

I'm going to have to give this stuff a try!

Actually, the orange light turns on when it is at the OPTIMAL temperature. If you think that is too hot, I would pick a lower setting. The goal is to get to orange and keep it there throughout Stage 2.

"The company’s flagship product, regen™, employing TriPollar™ RF technology which simultaneously heats deep and shallow layers of fats, can now offer professional facial contouring, skin tightening, cellulite reduction and body contouring treatments all in one smart system."

Take it slow ladies!!! Honestly, I have a bad feeling about this one. I hope I'm wrong, cuz I want the skin tightening more than anyone!...but if my face gets any skinnier, it will disappear!

Hmmmm....blackmail! I love it!!! ha ha...and a good one at that!! Laughing

.....cruise......STOP hmm

Thanks for all the tips on sun exposure! I will definitely check them out as I don't want to undo what I have done thus far by lounging on the beach and letting my face fry....perhaps a wide floppy hat, Jackie O glasses and giant moo moo as well?? Oh lord, I can see it now...my sister will think I've gone off the deep end!!!

I am curious if somewhere in this huge thread anyone has posted who should and should not use this unit? If so, can someone direct me to it?
