Kassy — as one of the guys on this board, may I just say, you look terrific! You say you're in your 60's, but I find that hard to believe! Shock

I can't see the picture, so I don't know why it's blurry, except that I tried to make it smaller. I stink at this. I think my grandkids screwed up my browser settings and I don't know how to correct it, so I can't see any pictures at all. Maybe I should go back to internet explorer.

I sent a couple of pictures to 'girltwocb', so maybe she'll get a better idea. (I hope they weren't as enormous as they looked in my copy of the email... Embarassed

Hi Kassy,

I finally found your emails in my junk folder. Sorry about that. Strong filters!

Anyway, to answer your questions,

1. Yes you can use the cont. flow setting. I prefer it, as it seems to work better to me.

2. Five percent oil seems ok.

3. Yes put the thinnest consistency product on first and layer your US gel over it. I always apply serums first and then a nice thick layer or water soluble gel on top so the serum has something to push it in to the skin. The vibrations should plump your skin nicely for a few days. Use twice per week to maintain the effect, unless the manuf. directions say otherwise.

You really don't have much sagging. Do you still use your vaculifter? I use a cellulite silicone cup I got on eBay after an esty friend showed me hers. I use this only on myself (can't on clients because silicone is not sanitizable) on my jaw, neck and chin area following the lymph drainage technique. I use a hopping method so I don't even need oil or anything. I use this on those days I feel like my neck looks really puffy and full. It works quickly, and gives me a nice lift in a hurry. It's great if I don't have time for a proper MC session. (the silicone cup is STRONG so you have to be careful or you will a get a "cup kiss" or bruise if you let it linger in one spot- but it feels so good! I bought one of the smaller ones for the face. blah. Too wimpy)

Did you use the wands with the nuface? For the neck and jowl area you really need wands for proper placement and lifting. Those balls on the nuface are a cool concept but just don't do the trick on the neck or lower face from what I've seen.)

Hope it helps,
Christine

@DM..

Some days I feel like I could make a purse with what's hanging.. But thanks for the kind words.. Embarassed

@girltwocb.. Figures I'd wind up in your 'spam' folder.. Bad Grin

Glad it finally went through.

Thank you for the great info/answers to my questions.

Now to answer your ???'s

Yes, I use the Vaculifter and love it. Sadly, I don't get to it more than a few times per month (not by choice.) I also incorporate a lymphatic drainage technique with it, and find it really helps, especially with my dreaded malar bags. Crying or Very sad

The NuFace just had those ridiculous balls. I used it for 2 months (until it broke), but really wasn't impressed with it. I have the Suzanne Somers Face Master which has 2 wands, but I don't think it's a proper micro-current gadget. It runs on a 9 volt battery also.

I think I'll try the FM for a couple of weeks just for the he!! of it. Would every other day be too much? I'll follow along with your video. Very Happy

Now I'm anxious to try all this out... Thanks again for your help.

Hi Kassy,

You inspired this video.

Quick neck and jowl lift with facial cup

You could certainly do this on the fly when you don't have time for your vaculifter. That darn lymph just never takes a break, even if we do!

Cheers,
Christine

Kassy,

I wonder where we could sell our neck flesh purses. Ha!

Every other day with the face master wouldn't be too much. I think it says everyday in the beginning, though, doesn't it? My mom pooped out on hers because she got too busy. But I think she said something about everyday for at least two weeks. ???

Yes microcurrent is so tiny that a nine volt battery for a small unit sounds right. Just make sure to replace the battery as needed. My professional machine runs on 12 C batteries and I replace them every 3 months. Crazy I know. But we are talking a a very tiny current here.

PQ. If you're around do you know if the face master is galvanic or true mc? I'm going to try it when I'm home visiting my mom (lest my face will fall!!! Nooooo!)

Cheers,
Christine

Christine, the video is great! Glad I was able to inspire you... Laughing

I was able to see the increased blood flow to your skin.. Love that!

I had a cupping set like what you used before I purchased the Vaculifter. Damn it all to hell though, when I couldn't get them to "glide" I got rid of them... Sad

The way you were doing it in the video reminded me of 'Deb Crowleys' pinching/massage technique which is great also.. (Deb is the founder of Flex Effect Facial Exercise programs.)

I think ANYTHING that brings the rich oxygenated blood to our skins surface is a good thing... Even standing on our heads.. Very Happy

I love your videos, haven't watched all yet! You and Kassy do not have enough sag between you to make a change purse!!!!!!! Very Happy

Kassy, Your neck line looks incredible! I think there are a lot of 40 year olds that do not have that kind of defined jaw! In reading your posts in the past I decided to try the AALS. I absolutely love it so thank you for your reviews.

Hi Christine,

I wish your business would have been done in Florida. It's so hard to find a dedicated person like you.
I'm thinking to purchase a home device for Firming and Wrinkle. Is there any device out there u can recommend?
What do you think about this one?

New Portable 96 Dot Matrix RF Skin Rejuvenation Tightening Vibration Device

Thank you very much!
Moncsi
