Ageing is one of the few things that everybody has to face. You may have swanned through your twenties and thirties with a great figure but terrible diet, late nights and no shadows and hangover free morning afters, but even you can't stop the clock.
As we get older you'll notice wrinkles due to lack of dehydration and depleted collagen. The STOP machine promises to help you combat the march of time, and utilizes TriPollar radio frequency technology to do so, offering you salon results at home. So how does it work, and does this Alien inspired device actually get results?
The STOP machine focuses four low level power beams into the skin. Each beam stimulates the dermis, and this makes the collagen fibres tighten, as well as encourage new collagen growth. the idea is by irritating the skin a little by the device extra collagen will grow in that area to 'protect' it, and thus you'll have plumper prettier skin.
In tests they've conducted in their lab they found that a number of women noticed a dramatic improvement in the texture and tone, when they used the device for 15 minutes twice a week. It doesn't hurt or sting when you use it, you just feel a slight warming sensation. As well as the face you can use it on your hands, arms, neck, anywhere you feel could do with a bit of plumping.
It's easy to use, as you just slap on the preparation gel, choose a setting from low to high and then glide it in circular motions over the face. Finish with the soothing after treatment, and voila, perfect skin! (hopefully)
Miracles don't comet come cheap though, as this retails at a whopping £369 from Selfridges in September. Will it be worth it? I might wait for the sales...
