Because the sensation was so jarring, I began dreading the DMA mode, and eventually I just stopped using it. However if you have a higher pain threshold, it will make a noticeable difference to your jawline. Tripollar Stop Vx vs Tripollar Stop X Pay close attention to the warnings, risks and contraindications. Common reasons you can’t use the STOP are being under 18 years old, pregnant, having diabetes, a pacemaker, metal implants (dental implants are ok) skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema, cold sores, over permanent fillers, or if you’ve had Botox, laser resurfacing or a chemical peel within the last 3 months. There are more listed in the user manual. Before starting this Tripollar STOP trial, I also quit my easy-peasy CurrentBody Skin red light mask. So, note my skin is already in tip-top condition. I’m curious to see if the STOP will maintain this whilst also tightening my chin-sag and jawline. However if you have a low pain tolerance or aren’t interested in the tightening effects, you can save some money and use just the Stop X.

We do not recommend use of our devices if you have permanent fillers within the treatment area. If you have temporary dermal fillers we recommend consulting a physician. Therefore, it’s best to set aside a quiet and unrushed hour every few days. And if you have this time and motivation, it’s a pleasant way to pamper your skin. You can also do it whilst watching TV.The DMA mode feels quite different to the soothing RF, so let’s cover this next. What does it feel like?

Results: Enjoy all the benefits of your treatment, including smoother, plumper-looking skin and jawline area that appears lifted. We do not recommend use of our devices if you have an impaired immune system due to immunosuppressive medications or immunosuppressive diseases such as AIDS. These Tripollar VX models also have a special mode for use on the jawline. It’s called Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA) or ELV in the US models. It works alongside the RF and sends a mini-Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) pulse down to your SMAS layer facial muscles (below the dermis and hypodermis) where it causes small contractions.Tripollar says DMA strengthens muscles to build volume and tone and works with the RF to enhance lift and contouring along your jawline. Phew!TriPollar Stop Eye 2+ skin rejuvenation device is a non-invasive home treatment, for delicate facial areas, such as around the eyes and mouth.The Stop Eye 2+ is specifically intended for skin tightening in the periorbital, Perioral and Nasolabial folds. This clinically-proven, safe, relaxing and easy-to-operate skin-tightening device, improves the skin’s texture, giving you a fresh, younger look. Other than some slight redness there’s no downtime! You can reduce the redness by applying a cooling sheet mask afterwards.

I’ve already tried the other – at-home microcurrent and nanocurrent devices – and I committed to them for 14 months. I used the Nuface and ZIIP devices which lifted my mouth and jowl area and gave me the best skin of my life, but they didn’t tighten my under-chin saggy skin. So, I quit and now I want to see if at-home RF can help instead. After 6 to 8 weeks, you then switch to less regular maintenance sessions. Tripollar suggests them either weekly or once every two weeks (so, 2 to 4 times per month). These sessions are much easier to fit in, and it’s one of the least effort maintenance schedules. But it’s so easy to skive off! So, you must remember to schedule the time with yourself. Saturday mornings are my favourite time.
