Safetox worth it?
Beauty in Seattle on Jan 6, 2008
I did it, I got Botox the other day for my first time (yes, I'll post a Botox review on RealSelf in a few days). Let's just say my experience was more painful than expected during the injection and the results aren't incredible...just ok.
I saw a comment on RealSelf for a product called Safetox which promises that 2 sessions "produce a reduction in wrinkles of around 11%, rising to about 65% after 6 weeks."
But check this thing out. It looks like a device worn in Star Trek! When researching the safetox website I can't find specifics on how safetox works. Lots of statements related to relaxing wrinkle-causing muscles (like Botox) without injections.
What do you think, is safetox worth it?

Hi from France ! Well, 1st - Sorry for my poor English. I've just seen your article about Safetox and would like to share my experience with this product. I am a 45 yo women with some wrinkles and I've never had a botox injections. I bought his product in a famous cosmetic shop in Paris called Sephora. The sales assistant told me that it was a new technology to reduce wrinkles and that the Safetox could reduce wrinkles efficiently has Botox does. I've tested this product directly at shop Sephora and my 1 st experience of 10 minutes was ... Wow ! At the beginning it hurts just a bit and then , your face (forehead + eyes + ...) is like a bit paralyzed and after 3 or 4 minutes you feel really relax and well : Real Strange. When I looked into the mirror (I was always at the shop) my face had changed, just a bit. The dark rings under my eyes were less visible (I am no saying that after that session I looked like Neve Campbell at 22 yo!;) So I decided to buy this product ! Now, I've been using the Safetox 5 minutes each day for 4 month. And believe it or not, it works great! I look really younger, more relax and the dark rings under my eyes are almost invisible. So the only thing I can say is ... Thank you Sephora and Thank you Safetox, I am really happy, I feel well and much more self confident. Stéphanie

Hello there I bought safetox two months ago and have been using it every day for 10 min, morning and evening. I still do not see any change. Will continue to use it up to three months as this period of time is recomemded. The electical patches are quite expensive and the whole thing seems to be to expensive for what it promises. I would not recomend it to someone who has a budget for beauty products. Before I bought safetox I had bought another device which was very painful to use it and it did take 30min of my day for a treatment. I refunded and got my money back. I still believe that working out face muscle does a good thing to the face but I can do it myself without any device. The only thing about it is to REMEMBER it and do it every day.

Hi Carol, Thanks for this post! Could you please let me know the results in a few weeks time. Besides apparently safetox works more efficiently on forehead and around the eye? well I haven't tried myself. Now I'm really wondering if it is worth what it costs... Thanks in advance for your comments! Lily

I just got a safetox via mail order but the instruction is not good enough. Can anyone reply to my following questions? 1) How many sessions does a patch last? 2) How can I know the time of replacing the patch to a new one? Does electric pulse stop at the end of patch life? 3) How do you keep a used patch to maintain good adhesive surface of patch? In a refrigerator or any good place to keep? Original kit package came with only 4 patches, so I need to buy patches to complete my first 5~6 month period. Thank you all in advance.

Hi Miki, I never used it or tray it (but very tempted), however if you do some Internet research you will find out the answers for that. I'm not sure if it's in the official website, but it says that you can reuse your patch up to 5 times. I guess thats the time the adhesive takes to lose the glue in it that will keep it sticked in place...
