Does Tripollar Tightening RF device work?

By Better Understanding on 20 Jul 2009

Has anyone heard of Tripollar tightening RF device? Does it work? I have to order from Europe because it is pretty cutting edge and not available here. Any feedback regarding this?

Be 'very' wary of buying from overseas.. ! I am in Australia and got my Tripolar Pose shipped from US however had massive issues with the adapter and the orange light that would come on even when my skin or the device itself was stone cold !!! I called the seller 3 times and after 4 weeks still waiting to hear back from him.. The Australian sellers cant help because they are telling me that they will not replace devices or fix them which are purchased overseas.. I am kicking myself for buying form overseas savibg $39 when I could have had locally.. It worked wonders for my cellulite (affect lasts for about a couple of days and then I had to do another treatment but well worth the effort)..

elizabeth8867 or anyone - Can you tell me which model to use...Stop or Pose? I am just turning 63 and want something that will stop/slow down the degradation (big word :) on the inside of my arms. I posted a topic on this subject but nobody has replied. I'm thin with thin skin (in other words, there is little to no fat between the skin and my muscles and bones... don't want to throw my money away. I would use it on other places, but this is the area that I'm self-conscious about (hands, too). Thanks very much!

Hi bluebird...I would assume that you'd get the Pose, since the Stop is usually used for the face, neck and hand areas. I don't have the Pose, but know it's used more for the body than the face. Hope this helps!

That's correct, The Tripollar Pose should be a good solution for that.

Yes, it does work . I had several treatments from a nurse/cosmetician several years ago with this technology. She charged $125 per treatment but I saw, especially noticeable on my hands, the tightening of the skin. I bought the Tripollar from a company in Israel for about $300. The changes you will see are gradual, as the home-use machine is not as"strong" as the professional ones. But, if you use on your face & just one hand, you will definitely see a difference. I am a 66 year old woman, a Registered Nurse, who includes this as well as "needling" and TCA peels as part of my upkeep. I have emailed several times to the makers of this product and they have been quite generous in their responses. For instance, you can still pass over an area as long as the green light indicator is on. If not, and the orange one shows ,move on to another area and go back to the problem areas (for me, lip lines).The effects are cumulative, so do try to use the device as often as possible.

Hi. I bought Tripollar Stop from www.iskinproducts.com and it realy works. Before my purchase, I contacted them and they gave me coupon code. I got great service, fast shipping and I realy do recomend them. I'm willing to buy Tripollar Pose as well.

Really?? Sounds like an advertisment!!! I used them thru ebay and it shipped late and item didnt work!
Rachel1964 28 Apr 2013
I'm surprised, I order from them on March, and received it within 6 days from Israel. I didn't know that they're selling on eBay as well.....
sergio1996 28 Apr 2013
Beauty...did you ever return the product and receive a replacement? Obviously, it was defective. I remember how disappointed you were, since we both received our items at the same time, although you ordered yours thru eBay and I ordered mine thru iskinproducts.com. I ordered mine on a Monday, it shipped out on Wednesday, and arrived on Saturday. So far, since I started using it, which has been two weeks already, I definitely see some improvement. I hope you do get a replacement, or already have, and give it a try. There are too many satisfied people for this to be an advertisement...and I'm one of them. Of course, everyone is different, and results will differ. Just realize that its cumulative effect will occur with time, you just need patience and a positive attitude.

Thanks Sergio, I did reurn it, but did not order a replacement. I will give it a try. Im glad you are getting good results! Thanks for your feedback!
sergio1996 1 May 2013
Beauty, Keep me posted if you do get it...whether on here or private chat. Good luck!

I am thinking of buying the trippolar stop for tightening my facial skin and reducing my jowls? can the pose be used on the face too? what is the difference apart from size on these devices? I read you shouldn't use the pose as this will melt fat on your face and this is an important factor in giving your face definition so what does the STOP do to the facial area that the pose cant? or vice versa,all very confusing!! I have a RF rejuvenating monopolar / needle free mesotherapy device that I have been using but I am not overwhelmed with results so far but It is early days and perhaps the collagen is still in the recovery stage,I don't have the money to waste so am I better giving my machine a bit more time seeing as it is RF or sell and opt for the STOP?

After reading these reviews and a personal chat with one of the posters, I just took the plunge and purchased the Tripollar Stop today! I bought it off EBAY for $399 and free shipping. I went that route because the seller offers a 60 day return policy and because I earn ebay bucks on my purchases. LOL. Im turning 48 in July and experiencing slight sagging in my cheek and neck areas. Esp on the left side that has been exposed to the sun from driving. Unfortunately, I never used sunscreen. I only have two faint forehead lines and no wrinkles. The slightly sagging cheeks and neck and slight hollowing under my left eye are my concerns. I will update you on my progress (or lack thereof)! :)

DO NOT BUY FROM ISKINPRODUCTS AKA GEORGE off ebay!!!! Unit didn't work, 10 days after they received the returned device they still haven't issued a refund nor responded to paypal.

I bought the Tripollar STOP from Israel and have used it several times. It gives results that are just as good as the pro RF skin tightening treatments like Accent XL and Sheerwave that cost between $200-600 apiece. I know this because I have had Accent XL treatments using the latest machine and I've had Sheerwave treaments. I highly recommend the Tripollar STOP.

Thanks for the info! I was about to pay $2800 for 6 Exilis treatments. Im glad I found this device before spending so much money!!!!

Can the STOP be used to tighten skin on the breasts? I really don't want to have surgery but I have to do something about it before it gets worse. I know the POSE will be too hot and cause fat to melt away and I will lose volume, but the STOP...?

Tawny Monroe 17 Mar 2013
I would think you can use the STOP to tighten skin on the breasts, but I don't know about using it over breast implants. I don't know if the RF can go that deep, but it might somehow damage the implant envelopes (?). I would ask a plastic surgeon that question. The Tripollar Stop is just another version of Accent XL, it is a radio frequency device.

Philly Rockz, Just want to make sure --- does the orbital bone cover that eye bag area then ? I'd like to know if its safe to use on eye bags

To all of you skeptics out there - this device works!! I am a female, 42, and I bought both the stop and pose the results are amazing. I got mine at www.stop2pose.com so would definitely recommend this device. By the way, I live in Brazil, so trust me when I say we walk around in bikinis half day and the results are great...

Hi Better U, It worked very well for me to restore volume and tighten my face. Was also great for minimizing horizontal forehead lines, but I didn't see much change with my number 11 which is pretty severe. It also helped to lift the skin under one of my eyelids making them level. I think I got such good results because I only used 3x a week the first 2 weeks, then 2x a week after always waiting 3 to 4 days between to give my skin a chance to reboost the collagen. I think using more frequently than that causes the collagen to continually breakdown without a chance to rebuild. You'll also need to get a US adapter in order to use here, but I was able to get from Radio Shack for about 14.00. I kept a document to update each one of my sessions, and will be more than glad to send, just e-mail me. Good luck if you decide to go with it.

Im thinking about buying. Can I email you?
Roni48 30 Mar 2013
Hi Beauty, Absolutely, feel free to e-mail me anytime. Since it's Easter weekend I'll be tied up tonight and tomorrow, but will be back online Monday. Take care, look forward to hearing from you:) Kim
