Hey so a couple of weeks in and have had to have a break from my last couple of treatments as have not had the chance to take downtime at home and it really does make your face red and scaly for several days!!! Not seen massive improvements as of yet (3 treatments) which is fine, I didn't expect to, but the after effects are a bit grosser than I expected, not pretty! After about 48 hours though the dryness goes and it seems like new skin comes through... and I have had the feeling it was looking slightly better... think it's too soon to tell though! Also got a bit freaked out the other morning as the sun shone through the window as I dozed and hit my reaura'd skin! So sleeping with curtains closed from now on Wink

You need to let the new skin grown, which takes about 4 weeks.

What kind of skin do you have Malinky? My ReAura is on its way and I'm just wondering what to expect the first couple weeks of use.

I'm hoping my results are as good as some of the ones I've seen online. Plus photoqueen said it was the best gadget he has ever used and he has tried a bunch of things.

Thank you very much. Nice photos and results but why is it that almost every time people have these before n after pix, the after pix have more light? Skin, when exposed to brighter light would always appear nicer with less wrinkles and less pigmentation....

I think it is just hard to get the exact same lighting every time. I know I could take the camera for dummies class and still get an F. I try to take photos just for my own records and I never get the same look each time.

very true, hard to take photos at different times with exact same lighting.. point I was trying to make is why is that the before pix are almost never brighter than the after pix??? lol... anyways... I hope her results are accurate and good for her! Even Thermage, a professional device, has failed give such good results so I am just skeptical...

I don't know if she is a member or not but go look at her video entries and you can tell that she is not a professional- meaning this is not her profession. I don't mean this in a mean or rude way just that I think she is for real. I hope you get what I'm saying but this is just my opinion.

It has been awhile since I went to her site. I will look later tonight and make sure I didn't get it confused with someone else.

yes, I saw her video and her skin looks even better in it than in the after photos... what I am skeptic about is the before pix which were taken in dim light with a shade on her face and all the after pix and the video is taken in a very bright light and light on it's own can flush out a lot of wrinkles..

Photoqueen here on eds also has good things to say about this laser so I am sure it works... to what extent? I ll wait for more reviews from members of eds with no motive promoting it... a lot of people with blogs have motives, not saying in particular regarding glam40plus, but just in general..

I wanted to mention the difference in lighting in her before n after photos as some eds members are going gaga over this device after seeing her photos... I mean no disrespect to anyone but when someone puts her/his photos on a blog, they open themselves not only to compliments but also to criticism...

Fair enough.I just got mine tonight. Will do my first session tomorrow. I hope I get great results because it was a lot of money but if it works it will be worth it. I will take before and after photos but they will be for my own use. I did start AnteAge 6 weeks ago and wanted to give it a least 8 weeks by itself but I don't think I will be able to wait that long. Maybe I can wait one more week because AnteAge is a lot of money and although I think the science is good I want to make sure it is worth the cost. So far I am happy with it but it's not like OMG.

I don't have any motive for promoting it, I bought it myself with my hard earned money.

The proof to me, was my partner saying, your skin looks amazing what have you been using and then asking if they can use it.

I am an expert in this area, and this device works, but you have to be realistic, if you are heavily lined it won't removed wrinkles, you would need the deep fraxel treatment, but as I am lucky and don't have any deep lines the device has made my skin look radiant, tight, fresh and the slight sun pigmentation has gone, so for me, it is one of the key devices in my tool kit.

Hi PQ,

Appreciate all your helpful feedback on this thread.

I get similar comments after a light chem peel, so always trying to determine what these types of devices can do that would be more than a chem peel(and those are cheap and easy).

If you have done a chem peel, can you compare your results between that and this unit?

Thanks, BFG

Hi BFG,

Thanks for the nice comment!

I tend not to do chem peels, I have never had much success with them, I had a few professional peels, and never really noticed any improvement, I would say the key results, are: plumping of the skin, tightness around the jaw line, smoothness, radiance and removing the slight discolouration due to sun damage.

Take care,

PQ

I may just say to heck with expensive creams and serums and start saving up for this device, whether it's released in the U.S. or not. Smile

My Mother-in-law's in England and it's tempting to tell her to ship one over.

After spending major $ on Lifeline and AnteAge, that's nearly half the cost of the ReAura.

MAJOR DITTO!!!! I do have a few friends in the UK and just might impose myself! Idea

Mine cost $1438 US dollars or 889 pounds and that is with 2 extra bottles of aftercare complex. I am going to use the AnteAge products instead. My husband let the sales girls talk him into buying more of the aftercare complex when what I really wanted was more of the laser performance gel.

Photoqueen, do you know how long the 2oz. performance gel last? I don't think you use that much but I don't want to run out before the 8 week series is finished. Thanks for your help Very Happy
