TOPIC: The Thin border between PE and TEA

The \"STOP\" company does not recommend this device if :

If you have permanent fillers within treatment area.If you have temporary dermal fillers within treatment area, consult your physician before using STOP'.Current use of medications, herbal preparations, vitamins or food supplements that may cause fragile or dry skin.End of Quote.
Would have been great to be able use it to stimulate Collagen growth after PMMA session.

I THINK you can indeed use those devices on areas treated with dermal fillers once they have already been absorbed, once the time they were supposed to work has passed. That is why they advice you to ask your doctor. When I had Thermage done on my face, they asked if I had had any filler, and in fact I had had something i never wrote down (courtesy of a friend of mine who is a Dermatologist but had lost contact by then). Since that had happened years ago, they went over the entire face without bothering to make an exception over the area filled with the filler.

Tripollar is back on Ebay: But I wonder if other take home devices like this other might be better:

Cool. I would be very interested in trying it out on my face, the hot sun is taking a toll on my face skin. I will also ask Dr. C if it is OK to use over PMMA (penis) and then I may go ahead and try it after doing my research...

@ HunkChunk
\" ... Then on to Dr C if I gain enough length for a second session of PMMA\".
Why the proviso on extra length?

@Mexmuscle
Thanks for the link to Tripollar which shows up, just as does the link to the other Korean product sold at eBay. The new eBay listing for a Tripollar unit still won\'t show up in my location due to a court injunction... The Tripollar manufacturer makes several products, but I\'d only want to buy one at those prices.

I was wondering if the one used for the body can\'t also be used for the face, but apparently not. They have different depth or intensity settings for their radio wave emissions making each one designed for a separate use. Also this could cause problems when misusing one of those Chinese units made with Korean RF heads, if you don\'t use the right settings... they do ship it with 3 separate heads, possibly to reduce such risks?

@supa
I am wanting more length in order to keep the proportions natural looking. I had some issues with the ladies detecting the changes after my first session, and it is hard to stay discrete. Gaining length first to retain similar proportions will prevent it from being too obvious that it is getting wider and wider and wider - even when it is. lol

Have you considered injections of PMMA to the face to reverse look of aging?

I think the differentiation between a device for the body and another for the face can only be due to marketing. If it was needed, why not just add whatever it needed to have both on the same device? Money! I will, eventually, buy the one for the body and try it out everywhere and see if I dont need anything else.

I have to take back my last comment. According to the manufacturer, the Pose for the body \"is designed to work on abdomen, buttocks, waist, thighs and arms. Do not use it on the hands, face or neck - fat reduction in these areas can actually reduce the firmness of the skin. For the hands face and neck use a Tripollar Stop.\"
Nuff said. (My english is improving! LOL)

Thanks loads for the leads to Thermage units, I will look into buying one once in the States where websites aren\'t blocked by the medical lobbies.
I underwent another \"enhancement\" over Christmas with more CO2 Fractioned laser on the face, hands and neck. All that\'s left is one last session just for the eyes, using metal protection cups and a lower setting due to the fragile eyelid skin. That\'s tomorrow and after a week\'s recovery I\'ll be fresh as a cucumber!
I self-administered a sub-cutaneous shot of Gonadotropin aka as Pregnyl which I had left over from last summer, and found it complemented nicely the intramuscular shots of Testosterone I\'ve been taking every three weeks. I\'ll keep a few around for occasional use, even if Miracle7 thinks it might be nasty. The one I took actually had me feeling peppier and younger. Could it be the placebo effect. Or is it the placenta effect, given that it is a hormone extracted from the placenta of pregnant Dutch ladies.
This summer a 2nd round of PMMA, and the ladies will think they lucked-out finding a hot for his age boy toy! LOL And no, I won\'t be telling ANYTHING as I already lost someone very dear that way. Word to the wise, discretion when it comes to personal enhancement of any kind.

I can personally attest to the validity of this statement. I am in general good health and have some decent amount of muscle in my body, thanks to doing weightlifting some 4 x week for some 45-55 mins for the past 28 years. But then I wouldnt do cardio, at all. So my cholesterol levels increased substantially, though I eat a clean diet. The doctor explained that most liikely my body was producing that cholesterol in excess, and prescribed me that high intensity cardio. Then my cholesterol levels went down, naturally.


[QUOTE=Please make sure to exercise! I cannot over emphasize the importance of rigorous, high intensity exercise. Hit the weights for 45 minutes 3x\'s per week. Do 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity a minimum of 5x\'s per week at your target rate. Try to make sure your diet is in check. Slow burning carbs (sweet potato, brown rice, etc.) 45%, protein (fish, lean meats, eggs, etc.) 35% and healthy fats (fish, nuts, flax) 25%.[/QUOTE]

By the way, I have found out that Thermage and things like that have become old fashion, and rather expensive compared to the new treatments in the market. I know one clinic here where they do hace Thermage and the other options, but tell you frankly that the newer and cheaper options work best for you, both in terms of tightening the skin and in relation to the costs.

@Mexmuscle


Thanks for the update about the Thermage units which you no longer recommend? Not that they aren\'t a proper decent product, but that they are no longer price/performance competitive? Have you learned about better alternatives?


Thanks in advance!

UPDATE February 2013


Here is an update on my latest TEA Total Enhancement Approach. Since my last posts I have had several more CO2 fractional laser treatments to the face which have me getting picked up by younger and younger girls. It used to be women in their forties who sometimes checked me out. Then I started to get them wandering towards me like droves of zombies. Now they don\'t dare come at me anymore out of fear of rejection, and girls in their twenties are starting to come on strong. That hasn\'t happened to me in eons!


Possibly some of this comes from my experience with Dr C and Wade whose PMMA injections have totally upturned my life. I had my second PMMA series last summer, the third last September and will get my fourth in June. Yeah! However now this has me considering my physique and aesthetics on another level.


I used to simply want to no longer feel deficient \"down there\" and hoped to attract a much younger woman whom I had deep feelings for but who had manifested that she liked only very \'large\' African men. Yeah, it doesn\'t get much worse than that when you aren\'t packing the goods. So I went forward with PMMA out of love and hope. While the motive was not fulfilled in its promise, I have no regrets and am even grateful to that girl for having moved me to do so...


About general aesthetics and what I call TEA, I have been moving the process from genital enhancement to facial youthfulness and now onto general silhouette enhancement and total body aesthetics. For this reason I am also getting a webbing reduction in Russia, along with abdominal liposuction although everyone says I don\'t need it. It is just a small layer of fat I can\'t get off equal to about two pants sizes at the waist. I\'ll be happy when it\'s gone!


You will note from my Russian Adventure thread in the Patient Support forum that I will soon travel to Kaliningrad for a ligament cut operation through the scrotum. This is NOT to have a larger unit in bed, but is strictly a TEA aesthetic enhancement. Since I am now looking a lot younger and more fit, I have been indulging in the formerly forbidden pleasure of nude beaches and resorts. I just love the freedom, as well as feeling attractive to the naked lovelies... It\'s a great rush and I relax better than ever before.


However, the PMMA has made my unit rather thick when flaccid so to make it more natural looking I am seeking a purely aesthetic flaccid lengthening with the ligament cut. I will be stretching much of the time for the subsequent months so this may even bring me erect length gains although if any they should be very modest. At 5.5\" EL I hope to reach 6\" if possible - who knows? I\'ll keep you posted.


Since the surgeon does this procedure using the Russian method passing through the scrotum to avoid any visible scars in the pubic area, I am also having him remove the webbing which runs all the way up to my circumcision scar. This should give my unit a lot more visual appeal making it seem to start from closer to the base instead of growing out of my sack. I think visually it will make it look longer, which is useful when it is a bit too short for its consequent width. This combined with the lig cut and stretching may help make it look properly proportioned.


I am also going to ask the doctor for a PRP blood platelet plasma injection around the eye sockets, as when you age you lose body fat in a few facial areas. So the key to youthful appearance isn\'t only tightening the skin and growing new fresh baby skin thanks to fractional laser localized 3rd degree burns, but also getting some filler into those hollowing areas. Mind you, this is not a very apparent problem in my case, but I want to rejuvenate before aging too much.


Also I want to avoid costly fillers which will vanish in no time and have heard that PMMA is great in the shaft but not the face. While convalescing in the Russian clinic I will try the platelet rich injections similar to Dr Runels\' Vampire process, minus the hyaluronic acid which isn\'t needed in my case. I will also have some injected into my slightly receding hairline and smallish bald spot on the crown of the head. It is said to work wonders in preventing male pattern baldness alopecia and I shall report on any results here.


Finally, after my 4th and possibly final PMMA series in Tijuana this summer, I plan to go for shaft and ball sack hair removal. Like many men, especially those with webbing or whose skin move up the shaft after PMMA injections to accommodate the extra volume, sparse hairs grow along my shaft. I want them GONE. So I examined at length various methods from waxing to cremes and from shaving to home lasers, to conclude that for a permanent solution one must have this done professionally.


Although I have access to a leading dermatologist who is a pioneer in laser technologies and who has a full-time laser hair removal specialist working at his doctor\'s office, research on the subject of cost, permanence, reliability, hair types and skin colors brought me to conclude that for me the best method is going to be electrolysis.


However, this method is quite dangerous as it can cause severe burns or pitting along one\'s shaft, creating a moon crater result - far more disastrous than a few stray hairs. So one must have a top professional, and preferably one experience in genital hair removal. Since I will be in California to go to see Dr C in Tijuana, I plan to book an appointment with a leading Transgender electrolysis expert who has done genital hair removal for over sixteen years. I shall ask for shaft, scrotum and rear hair removal and maybe nose and ear hair removal too if not too pricey. On blogs I heard the price was $75/hour and that she works slowly and safely, which sounds good to me. Here\'s the link:

hairzapper.com/galvanic/


You will note that she uses primarily the galvanic method, so I will also be able to tell you how it feels to have electrical current in my unit and gumballs LOL. In any case I think this is probably the safest and most cost-effective permanent solution for hair removal in delicate places. More later...
