""OKay, I'm now going to put eye pads over JR's eyes to protect it from the light. Then I'm going to put a piece of felt over that, as well as a pair of goggles. OKay? Because we want her eyes to be totally covered. And, JR, make sure you keep your eyes closed..." "OKay." "...during the process. It's going to be very bright and sometimes the light it really goes through the skin. Just lift your head for a minute I'll get this on you. Perfect. And, it looks like it's going right into your eyes." "OKay." "But it really isn't. You're pretty protected there. OKay?" "OKay." "Alright. So, I'm just going to adjust the frequency. I think I'm going to start you at about 400 units." "OKay." "OKay? Now, you tell me if it's uncomfortable at all." "No, it's just cold." "It's cold, yeah. Unfortunately, these I can't warm up. Now do you feel it doing anything?" "No." "The higher we get to the forehead the more you're going to feel it." "OKay, I feel it." "You feel it a little bit?" "Yeah, I feel it." "So you see how the, I don't know if you can see the light pulsating. But as we get higher up you'll see the light pulsating." "I see like a red light." "That's what it is. So, what this is doing is the micro-currents are strengthening the muscles in the skin so it's tightening the skin and the red flashing lights is providing a full spectrum of photo rejuvenation." "OKay, it's amazing that my eyes are closed." "Uh huh." "...and I still see this blinking light." "It's so bright. Even under the eye pads and under everything. But just know that it's safe, it's not going to hurt you. And I always just think of the benefits. I always just think of what it's doing for our skin. You know the saying, 'beauty is pain.'" "Uh hum." "This doesn't necessarily apply to the pain, but maybe a little discomfort from the lights." "It makes me think of, you know, when people have an out of body experience when they go, 'don't go into the light', 'don't go into the light.'" (laughter) "Well, in those cases it's usually the white light, this happens to be the red light. I don't know what's...I think the white light's a little bit better. Now this is, usually, where people say that they feel it the most." "Yeah. I totally feel it the most. I actually see like little lightening bolts. Whoa! OKay!" "OKay?" "OKay, yeah." "Well, that's perfect. Well that's it for the lifting part." "OKay." "Now the next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to remove the gel from the skin. I'm going to apply an ampule, as well as an anti-aging gel. Not that you need that. (laughter) But it never hurts, right?" "OKay." "And now I'm going to use what's called a smoothing iron to help smooth it out, any fine lines and wrinkles deep into the dermis. So your skin is line free, plumped, fresh, and radiant." "
