Has anyone used the Elos system of skin tightening. I have looked into it and it appears like a wonderful alternative to surgery, but I would like to hear from anyone who has actually tried it. Thanks gals!

Evie and Doris, I'm so with you on this. My dad used to say, "Family is everything," but when he died, so did the family. Or, to apply the loveliness of the Holmes poetry, after horrendous abuse, I just drifted away. Family is an accident of birth. L
Hi Doris,
I am a lot older than you and can only tell you my feelings, around family, as I've aged.
My childhood was rough and my parents made so many mistakes, alcoholism, neglect, etc. For many years I resented them for giving me such a poor Thanks Barbara, I guess the constant rejection applying for phlebotomy position really got me down.I am researching working as a medical esthetician that would get me out of the Spa but I would still be in skincare. Also I have 26 years experience as
The toughest part for me, as an adult who has put my difficult childhood behind me, is dealing with family members who are in denial about anything being amiss about how we were raised and the impact this has had on our on-going relationships.
WOil of Olay moisturizer. I have had dry skin since I was in my 20's. Now that I am in my 60's.....Oy! I have always used some type of Oil of Olay moisturizer. I am now using the Age Defying creams, and like them alot. Oh, and Chap Stick under
Have not heard of it but it sounds real interesting!
Do you how much it cost, for this? Did you heard about Remeshing by gold yarn which they do in Europe ?
I would love to learn more about non surgical skin tightening that is affordable. Even cosmetics products that have good results. I look forward to reading. KAT
I work in surgery with plastic surgeons. I can’t afford any procedure. I was talking with one Dr. yesterday about the Hydroxy that is on the radio..alot. He told me that products work their way around. He said that it couldn’t work as well as a peel from the office, because it can’t be strong enough. He suggested to me to use the Olbagi skin line. Cost wise it’s affordable for the results. I’m going to check it out!
Excuse me but it’s early for me. As I read this, I read it as “Old Baggy” skin line. It was a good laugh to start the day.
What products specifically does he recommend for sagging skin? When I did research on the product they have a multitude of product. I am confused and saggy!
If you will send me an email I will give you some very exciting information for the sags be sure to add an email address besides VN

Shelby, if you have some very exciting information for the sags, why not just share the info for the general public instead of demanding each and everyone’s email address?
This way, you will save time responding to each and every inquiry you get, and vice versa.

Obagi is great. I have used it for almost a year and my skin looks better than it did if I do say so myslef. Well others have said so too. There are many different steps to it and you just need to find an office and go! They ask you a lot of questions, look at your skin and prescribe a regimen to follow. Once those products are gone you return and go for the next step. i am not a person that likes to take lots of time getting ready for the day or for the night but it seems to go quicker and smoother as you continue to use the products. You can start out with a few procducts and add as you like. Good luck.
What exactly is Obagi? Where do you go to find it? Is it non-surgical? Do you have to go to a plastic surgeon to find it, get started with it, and continue with it? This is all so new to me that I’m starting to feel overwhelmed, but hopeful at the same time
You can get it on line. I know a few offices that I would recomennder, but they are in Omaha.
you mean “old baggie” line! haha
NO, I haven’theard of it. But, I have seen very good,albeit temporary excellent results from acupuncture.

I had a Thermage treatment (A radio frequency-non surgical treatment) done and it sculpted my jaw line and got rid of the pooch below my chin. I maintain with Obagi C & E with 0.05% tretinoin.
well patebell, how much did this cost and how long does it last?
It was $1500 and it has been 3 years so far and looking great.

May I ask if it was a lot of money and what type of results you had? Just don’t answer if question is to invasive.
I too had a thermage treatment on my face and neck 5 weeks ago. It was painful which I expected, so much so that they gave me 2 Vicoden before the treatment. It cost $1500.00 with no results guaranteed. It is supposed to stimulate the collagen and elastin under your skin so the skin tightens up a bit making the wrinkles and sagging improve. I am 58, I was looking for a tightening of the jowel line and neck and got no results whatsoever. Granted my skin is in very good condition and I have few wrinkles due to always taking good care and always wearing sunscreen. But what I was looking for, reversing the affects of gravity did not happen. Granted everyone is different and it might have worked better if I were younger perhaps but personally now I think cutting is the only way to get the lift you need at my age. I did know the stats going in but decided to try it anyway. Just be informed of what you are getting into.
It’s too early to see a response. I didn’t notice a difference until about 4 months later.
That is too bad that you got no results for what seems like a lot of money. I have information on a system that is 100% guaranteed to work or you can get your money back. Non invasive, no pain and the results I have on my 56 year old skin is remarkable. Need an email address to send the information.
Holly, It was $1500 and I am thrilled with the results. It took 4 months before I could see a difference. 3 years later, my skin still if firm; no jowls, no pooch and people are surprised that I am 50. Most people peg me for early 40′s.
My wrinkles came 5-7 years after menopause @56-58, that seems to be when many women loose collagen. Noticing the jowls and throat just this year, I’ll be 59. At 50 I was just starting menopause. Stress seems to show more on my face just this last year, my skin is recently both thinner & drier. I would try Thermage before the knife so thanks for the info on it. I don’t notice much benefit from all the creams and potions I’ve tried over the years.
I use products that are guaranteed 100%. I am so excited about all of it..at 56 you know how much help some of us need!
I’d love to hear more about your success….. my email is Lindvigl@yahoo.com
Thanks
Was this done at a plastic surgeon’s office or some other office?
Patebell, can you tell us if undergoing Thermage treatment painful? How many treatments did you actually have before it sculpted your jaw line and got rid of the pooch below your chin? I think lots of us would like to know this info. Thanks.
Sorry about the delay in response. I was in Haiti as part of a medical relief tea. I thought that the Thermage was painful, but supposedly the new machines are not painful, so you have to ask if it is the Cool Wave machine. It only took one treatment, but I didn’t see results until 4 months later. The collagen takes time to reform. Because I had the old machine, I had to take Percocet and Valium before the treatment.
How long is the expected effect of this treatment. Will you have to go back in a few months or years?
I use the white of the egg for tightning my skin. Leave it on for 15 mins and wash off with cold tap water. Works wonders! Not only tightens your skin but also nourishes and moisturises it leaving your skin smooth and soft.
I have used the egg whites too. Great old trick. Another one is to use cold teabags on your eyes to get rid of the puffiness. Keep some in the fridge and put them on each eye and lie down for about 10 minutes and I guarantee you that your eyes will look brighter and more awake!
I tried to respond to Debbie, it says you are not accepting private emails.
I am open to anything that is NOT surgery! Thank for the (new and old) ideas ladies…..
Artisty Skin Care is the best. It is a product distributed by the Amway Global Corporation. I have been using it for 10 years.
I use Retin A, a prescription that was originally used for acne. It’s expensive, $150/tube, but I get it from Canada at $30.00/tube. Even Dr. Oz recommends it.
I USE RETIN A ALSO,,,BUT MY BEST RESULT WAS ARTESENSE INJECTIONS IN THE MARIONEETE LINES,,LOVE IT,,LASTS 7 YEARS..WAS $1200.
Doesn’t that have some kind of nasty side effects?
can you send Canadian location for the $30/tube? I use Retin A too! Thanks – ksilves@mac.com

How do you get it from Canada?
Thanks.
I live in québec,Canada, where can I get it, or can we order it by internet?
Ok this was a whole new topic for me. I had never heard of this idea in a face lift. I have gone fron ignorance to an appointment for Titan. Wish me luck everyone, I am scared s…tless. But still so excited to loose the jowls and neck rings.
Holly. Good luck, and keep us all posted!
Well not as I had hoped, clinic person said he would probably do lipo and titan, but when the DR himself visited with me, he did not want to do the lipo part because I am diabetic. I was disappointed to say the least. I will, however go back on Saturday to try the Titan on my neck and lower face to see. He said 3 to 5 treatments but if nothing after 3 we will stop. I will keep everyone updated as I go. I will take before and after shots to post if things improve. My mom had the excess skin and jowls and I am trying to convince myself tha there are worse things than looking like my mom!
I had thermage also years ago.didnt do too much for me,,but I just had Artesense,,lasts 7 years,,love it,,,Also amazingly the best neck cream in the world Is Stivecton Neck Cream,,,wonderful product…
Good luck, Holly, let us know your progress.

Well I have been twice now. Jowls are still there and the neck crepe. but he told me that it may not work as i have so mich. I have noticed a change around the mouth alittle bit but the jury is still out on this. I have one more appointment before he reassess’ if its working or not. I have heard others say it improves with time and I hope this will be the case with me.
Thanks for the update Holly and I hope your results are great! If you aren’t satisfied, my company has a 100% money back guarantee that the products will work.
Again I do hope you are happy with the procedure. Keep us posted and have a great day.

ok time for an update, I did go for the treatments 3 times and now 2 months past the third treatment I see stunning differences in places and modest inprovement in others, Due to my being overweight I did not find the majic bullet to elliminate the turkey neck, and that was not a surprise after my initial Dr consult. however it is not crepey or multitexturedand smoths nicely with cosmetics for the day. But my cheeks crows feet and nose lines as none existant now, and overall my face is firm and much improved. I will go back and would recommend to anyone to try three sessions to see what you get. overall I am quite satisfied.
Hi Holly. Non existant lines on your face??? Did you take the before and after photos?
Congratulations!
Was there a reason why the Titan procedure was used, vs. some other laser treatment?
Thanks for updating.
Hi Barbara,
Non-surgical face-lifts can definitely take 10 years off your appearance. A physician specializing in aesthetic medicine can prescribe and administer various modalities, depending on your needs. These include:
You should also follow a skin care regimen to maintain these results and prevent further damage. This MUST include Vitamin A, an antioxidant and, of course, sunblock.

Elaine, I would love your feedback on the products I am using. Provide your email address and I will send the information.
Thanks Shelby

Hi Shelby. I’m sure many of us will be interested in how you can guide us. I looked on your blog–you look great.
I have a question. You mention getting monthly treatments, and then you list several things. Could you clarify what your thinking is? Is the monthly treatment all of these? One at a time? Sequential? etc.
Thanks for participating.

I am interesting to know more about the treatments and cost also is this lasting?
Hello…I was concerned that my cheeks were starting to “sink” and my upper eye lids seemed a bit heavy. Since my treatments I see a remarkable difference in my face being more full and my eyebrows have definitely lifted. The cost is, depending on your location, could range from $125.00 to as much as $185.00 per session. A package of 10 is most often around $1,000.00. My experience is – I needed ten. Long lasting – after your ten, suggested treatments, a maintenance plan of once every four to five weeks. Like anything else, it needs to be maintained for optimum results. I am 69 !
Thank you Daisy, I have the same problems with my upper eye lids and lines in the sides of my lips. i will check if this is available in RI. Your face looks great!
I had wrinkles under my eyebrows! No more. Would love to share what I use to someone who looks so good at 69.
thank goodness for VN! I would never find this kind of info any place else I bet! Please do tell…..my email is sunflowerclub953@hotmail.com
I am always interested in new less invasive proceedures that WORK. Do tell all, what type of help were you seeking, didi it work? How much?
Hello Holly, please see my response to AK60. The procedure is great for discolorations of the skin, fine lines, plumbing up the lips, reducing the size of pores, and the little creases between the eyebrows.
thank you. Going by your picture you look wonderful.
Would love to share info with you but can’t seem to get a message to you on VN.
Where is this done and who does it? Could you let us know the price range for the service please?
If you let me know where you are located, perhps I could offer information. The treatments range from $100.00 and up. A package of ten would cost somewhere over $1,000.00. Mine was $125.00 per treatment; however, I opted for the package of ten and it was discounted.
Hi, DaisyMae, I searched for locations in SoCalifornia for Microcurrent treatments, but could not locate any by just that name. Would you be kind enough to contact me at leevansor@yahoo.com and give me a bit more information so I can locate a treatment center in my area. Thank you so much. Lee Sorenson
I Google it and I saw the Microcurrent treatment on video, very interesting.
Google – http://www.shelleyhancock.com she is in California and does micro current, along with other things. Interesting lady.
Same quesiton as AK60. Am interested in more information.
Go to You Tube and search for Microcurrent..The treatments I had were done with the Beautiful Image 900. Also Google -Texas Beauty Institute. I am thrilled with the results!
I would like to know more about these wands. I would need them both on my face/neck and for my abdomen as I have lost a lot of weight. I am interested in the cost, where you go to have this done, and how lasting it is.
