For dark spots, I used to use Obagi and other skincare, diligently using them. After 6 months I did see some mild lightening. Then I went to my derm doc, he did one mild Fraxel laser treatment on my face and tops of my hands. The dark spots turned black like coffee grounds and literally fell off in one week. I had maybe 1 day down time, makeup covered things. They were 90% GONE. I now go to him once per year and get a touch up with a Limelight laser, keeping those pesky spots at bay. Other then Retin A, I use no skincare specifically for spots. Why, when once per year for a $300 laser treatment they are gone. Sometimes it is more efficient going in office to do things.

Can you update this excellent overview of at-home devices to include Hifu, plasma pen and chemical peels as at home modalities for different skincare goals and if any of ur previous frequently used devices have fallen out of favor

I so enjoy your videos! You speak my language and I appreciate that you don't give false or exaggerated results. It's refreshingly awesome how you truly say if a device works or not, or if it works only if you dedicate the time to do it daily or on a schedule. Thank you! You are helping me really look at my personal skin issues and only invest in devices for what I will benefit from. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I just started esthetician school and when i wat h your videos in co juction with topics we r learning at the time it really puts things together for me.. love the informative content

Thanks for always breaking things down and making everything so easy to understand

Thank you for this video. I am a nurse and recently started studying for my wound care certification. Great information. I just purchased the Nuface. There are several ladies on KZfaq that have use the machine for years. Incredible results. Be safe❤️🌺

The day is always a better one when there is a new Penn video up!!! Thank you so much for doing this and keeping me sane during lockdown!

I can tell that you are an excellent esthetician because you really explain things without assuming that your client or listener knows as much as you do. Keep up the great work... I think both experts and beginners would benefit from your videos! Thank you!

Jowls are the bane of my existence. Im tuning in for this!

Thank you Penny! I loved this breakdown of these modalities. I have the Myolift and was feeling a bit guilty for purchasing it last year because I wasn't using it as much as I needed or wanted to. Thanks to you, I ordered the gloves a few weeks ago and I haven't stopped using it. It's so much easier to commit to this in your device when there's no messy gel involved. I'm sure I'll use the gel and probes as well periodically but the gloves were a game changer for me. I started my skincare journey a year ago. I found your channel not too long after I began and dug deep here on KZfaq University lol. I'm getting my masters of skincare (for my own use only) here on KZfaq. This is from a now 55 year old woman that had been told I don't look my age way before I started but when I look at my before photos I'm thinking "Oh c'mon, YES I DID! At least I thought so after comparing my 1 year before and after photos. Even my patient husband who never complains when I'm upstairs at night for a couple of hours was impressed. It's so worth it! My skin has never looked so even and much more radiant and you, yes YOU brought me to this place. I will confess, I was one of those touch up queens who went in and removed things on my face to perfect my pictures before I posted them on Facebook or Instagram. Although I do have the new iPhone with the portrait setting that does take a nicer selfie, other than that, no touch ups. I'm no longer a cheater and now if someone runs into me out in public, they'll know it's ME! HA! Before I end this lonnnnnng post, I just have to say that your eyes are amazing! What a gorgeous color blue. I have two girls. One has hazel eyes like myself and one has my Mom's blue eyes (my husband has dark brown eyes). Which by the way, my Mom had 5 children and none of us got her beautiful blue eyes. I'm sure you get comments about your eyes all the time. So does my blue eyed daughter (24). My older daughter (who will turn 30 this year ) has the hazel eyes so I pull her aside and we roll our eyes like yeah yeah yeah and laugh. :) Keep being your beautiful self! PS... You now have me hooked on those gorgeous Jo Molone scents! They're beauuuuuutiful!!! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for being more specific about the skin rejuvenation properties of IPL. I almost purchased the Faustian for fine lines and wrinkles. Thank you for saving me the money!

You do such a good job of explaining in layman's terms without making me feel stupid. 😂 Great info and great delivery!

Thank you so much for this wonderful breakdown - I have been confused about all the different uses of these modalities. The only lingering question I have is regarding "ultrasound" (namely the Time Master Pro) - I'm confused as to what that does in comparison to the other treatments.

If only every instructor/teacher/professor, etc. could explain things the way you do. You are so clear and concise and explain fully so that we know exactly how these treatments work to get their results. Thank you! 😊

I have the nuface Trinity and love it! I use all three attachments and have got real results. Wish I had known about it years ago

Thanks for a clear overview of at-home devices for skincare. Laser is not only "collimated" but also "coherent", which means that all its light waves do not only travel in parallel, but also in sync. This is what gives laser its very special properties and ability to affect the skin effectively, as well as risks! By law, at-home lasers have to be of a very low output power and they won't do much to your skin. Otherwise, a very clear explanation of the different modalities, thank you!

I can't wait to see the review of the myolift vs nuface. I'm so mad I ordered the nuface and then a week later saw reviews on the myolift which is cheaper! ugghhh let us know! Thank you Penny! ♥

Great video! The MyoLift is, hands down, my favorite device. I’m really enjoying the NEWA and NIRA as well. I’ve been getting great results with these devices. I’m actually seeing my fine lines diminish and my skin seems more firm and lifted. Very pleasantly surprised!

This was very helpful! To piggy-back onto to this video, it would be great to see the ideal weekly routine that incorporates all of these treatments to help optimize the benefit of each in targeting all the factors of aging you mention. (wrinkles, sagging skin/muscles, pigment issues, etc) Thanks!!

Thanks a million! Was looking forward to this video (while having lots of devices at home and looking for additional still:))

Penny, I cannot wait to see your website! Your teaching style is so wonderful. I have yet to watch a video of yours and not learn at least 3 new things. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Please please keep us posted on the RF device, Newa! Thanks for all this great info!

You are so well spoken, educated and a delight to learn with. I appreciate the content you choose as well. Your passion is contagious, it's very apparent you enjoy your master craft. Thank you for being you!

Wow I finally understand the distinctions between these treatments, thank you 🙏

You are the honest caring person of all channels. You are I have two devices I didn't know exactly what is what, after your teaching I think I will defiantly figure it out. I was also watching your channel '4 steps...' fantastic. Please show us the device( u can cover the the brand name) when you talk about micro needling. There are many types so confusing even with the names micro needling. ...pen ...derma stamp....

Dear Penny, those charts you put together are everything! I have a NuFace mini and just ordered a CurrentBody LED combo (face, and neck/dec) on Black Friday sale (got both for $512; I have limited financial resources but gave into temptation because I am no longer getting botox/fillers, and I wanted something more long lasting than a couple months' effect at best from injections for half or a third the same price) and am committed to really using them! At 65 my biggest issues are sagging chin/cheeks and wrinkles around my eyes (crow's feet) and lower chin/marionette lines. I bought a good dermaroller plus numbing cream but haven't used it yet. You've answered all my questions in those marvelous charts you've put together about combining therapies, so off I go! Bless you, you're the best of the bunch ❤️ it's never too late!

Question, how long would you have to use any of these gadgets to obtain at least a 50% of result as an in office treatment?

Actually very helpful. Thank you. More information and technical than most people have provided. Appreciated

I love your videos. Yes this is what I needed. I was not sure what to invest in, now I know. All your advice and knowledge has assisted in my battle with melasma, (I will use the green light). The PH Table explanation was helpful as well. Thank you Penny!

Thank you SOOO much for this informative video. The best I've seen that thoroughly describes/explains the different modalities in an understandable way. So happy to have discovered you.

Excellent info!!!

I'm so obsessed with your videos. I'm a skincare junkie and you're so helpful. I have cystic acne and acne scars that I'm constantly trying to treat from home in conjunction with aging preventative maintenance. Trying to decide which device would be good for me so this is just what I needed to hear!

I’m addicted to this Channel.. I’m starting a Collection of skin care devices.. I need a bigger bathroom..

I think it's great you are going to have a website, Penny. Excellent video, as usual. A few years ago I tried a microcurrent device, and could see results especially in my forehead. Due to a weird heart problem (I already had), my cardiologist advised me not to use it. Blessings, and love, my beautiful friend..MaryEllen

This is exactly what I've been needing! Thank you!

can you talk about hifu devices? specifically, about whether any HIFU home devices would work.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge I learned so much. I was using devices because I would see the great results on my favorite mature skin youtuber’s but wasn’t completely informed on how and why now I know thank you so much 😍

thank you! you have done such a beautiful job of explaining all these devices!!!

Really helpful - I haven't used any of these devices, but now I know which ones I would consider.

Thank you so much Penny! I just ordered the Mito pro and saved $32 with your coupon code! Thank you so so much!

I'm so glad you're going to try and compare nuface. As much as I want to get Myolift I've already got Nuface.

I loved this video! So helpful. I watched on roku but came over to your channel on my computer specifically to use your links as a "thank you." I had no idea it was possible to fix the face sagging from age and depression. Game changer. Thank you so much!

Can’t wait to see the website, newsletter, blog!! Question on all of these modalities..which of them affect filler and Botox negatively? I feel like I’ve heard some can melt filler and deactivate Botox...yikes!

I found this video very useful. I have a good idea of what works and what doesn't.

P.S. I have normal skin. Targeting wrinkles and capillaries. Just ordered my Nira a few days ago! So excited.

Love your channel! Can you do a demo with the myolift microcurrent device? Thanks.

Great to hear about all of these kinds of "help" for our skin. Thank!!!

Your explanation is the best I have ever heard.

I can’t help but think of Dr. Evil every time you say “laser”. ❤️

Your just wonderful Penny. So happy you discussed this. Always learning from you extensively.

Do any of these devices have promise on the scalp for hair regrowth? I love your video's. Thank you!

Great video. Thank you so much. Also, I really appreciate the heads up on the NuFace. I placed an order with your link.

Your videos are always such a wealth of useful information. Thank you! I especially appreciate your honest product reviews with explanations of how these devices work with realistic expectations. :)

Penny, I love your videos, they are so informative. Congratulations on growing your following so quickly! Godspeed!

Thank you so much for clarification on all of these devices.

Hey penny I have a couple questions 1. How to use copper peptides for hair and possibly also eyelashes? Can we microneedle cp into the scalp? 2. Can myolift help with the sagging skin of the body after weightloss? If so how do we do that? Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos, always so informative and sweet💜

Thank you for this great information....cleared up a lot of confusion.

Great video gorgeous. I always love hearing your professional opinions😉

Myolift mini kit was in stock (for a few minutes) today. I was able to purchase mine. I can’t wait to receive it! I purchased the gloves last month in anticipation!

Thank you so much for this!! I am 49 and have been post menopausal for about 4 years. Last November I noticed I was losing my hair 😔 and that the skin under my chin was beginning to sag😔😔. I see a dermatologist next week. This video was really helpful in getting ready for that appointment

This video was extremely informative, thank you so much I have tried a few things and an office but I prefer at home devices. They do work the juices you said you have to keep at it. The different descriptions of what the device is due was wonderful information for me

Great video as usual! Re microcurrent devices, I like ZIIP a lot better than NuFace, and the old CACI microlift unit which is no longer available is great, it works slightly differently, no gel and you kind of lift the skin during treatment. Worth investigating in my opinion.

Wow this video was soooo helpful!!!! Thank you so much!!!

awsome overview! to the point and so easy to understand. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much for clarifying all this :-)

I bought the Faustina, worked great for hair removal, for removing pigment spots, it did fairly well for hands but not so much for the sunspots on as and legs after about a month which was pretty disappointing.

Love your videos! Because of you I was able to get the Nuface mini and the gel primer for like $160!! I am so excited!

I ordered the Nira device with your discount. Thanks Penny. I’ll keep you updated with before and after pics

Amazing! I appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge with us so much!! Very helpful! I look forward to each and every video. 😊

Thank you for this informative video. You've cleared up questions I have had about the different types of treatments.

My favorite videos are the device videos...thanks!!

You do such a good job simplifying and presenting it all

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge , That was very educational for me. GREATLY APPRECIATED 😊

Excellent video. Just what I needed since I want to purchase a few things !!! You are the best !!! 💖

Thanks Penny, always so informative! I would love your thoughts on the Time Master Pro please!

What device do you recommend for skin tightening and lift? A home device that is as good as a clinic setting.

you are so very helpful! thank you for giving me the tools needed to feel beautiful again :)

you are an awesome educator. i am grateful for your work.

IPL is the best I have found to treat acne or eczema. I have been using at home for a decade.

Is aloe vera safe to use after microneedling, and would you mind doing a protocol on microneedling other parts of the body like legs? Thanks, Penny!

Thank you so much!! I am enjoying your all videos and smiles! Have a question, can you use multiple at-home devices everyday or one device each day? Thank you again, stay safe!

Hi Penny! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Tria Age Defying laser! x

Thank you for another amazing video. Very informative and well explained. I have lots of these at home devices. There effects are CUMULATIVE, so we have to be disciplined at using them on a regular basis and stick to it!

Thank you Penn. Always love watching your video’s!!! 💜💜💜

thank you, this is very helpful and you have beautiful skin!!!

You are a wealth of information. You should have Millions of followers thank you for sharing with us

I use an IPLl. It is a different brand , but looks the same. I use it for, acne, and eczema. I use it weekly, my skin is so soft day or 2 after use. My breakouts heal almost overnight. Blemishes shrink dramatically next day. I rarely, rarely get breakouts. I also don’t have pigmentation. I would buy FAUSTINA to replace my IPL, which I’ve had for 6.5 years. You can’t get lamps for my brand, even though the ad indicated you could reorder lamps,, which was false, as I only can find hair removal lamps, and not red light or blue light. However, FAUSTINA has all lamps for replacement. So I will be buying FAUSTINA

You might have done some thing on LED light therapy masks already but if not I’m hoping you will be testing several units. When I use my new skin faithfully it really makes a huge difference so I can certainly support what you were saying there. Wish I had more information on the IPL and broken capillaries. Thanks for the great content.

Such great info!! Thank you so much! So glad I found you!

WOW! I have a NuFace and never knew about the ATP benefits.

I’m an aesthetician in Ontario Canada just wanted to say love your videos!

Super helpful and informative video. Thank you so much! ✨

Very impressive Penny....super informative! I just wish you would mention the costs of the at home devices. Please keep up the great work!

Love this - comprehensive. Interested in the IPL for sunspots and redness. As an aside, I can't find the video where you recommended the LED and infrared mask. Do you remember which one it was? I need it all - lol

I missed the micro needling which is what I am interested in. I'll watch again.

Hi Penny-thank you for this video! Does the RF/Newa interfere with the repair cycle (4 to 6 weeks) between microneeding sessions for CIT? I'm tempted buy the newa, but I'm afraid it would be too much with my CIT schedule.

Hi Penny, I have the Faustina, and I'm not seeing great results, even on the highest setting. How often can I use it? TIA

Thank you for all your great and informative videos! Could you please tell me what eyeshadow und lipstick you are wearing? I love it! 😍

Thank you for helping us understand the different at-home modalities. I have most of the modalities you discussed and I was hoping you can also do a video on how you used these modalities correctly - meaning which ones you can use the same day or how far apart do you have to use them.
