REVIEW of the NIRA Precision Laser Device.

Meet the NIRA Precision Laser Device for at-home skincare anti-aging.

This device is FDA-approved for at-home use. It is a non-fractional laser device that tightens skin in only 2 minutes a day.

We explore the patent to understand the technology behind this innovative hand-held laser and how it builds skin collagen. And we tested the NIRA Precision.

Read our experience and what we learned about NIRA!

What to Know About Collagen + Devices

Collagen keeps the scaffolding of your face in place. We lose collagen as we age. This results in sagging, wrinkles, fine lines, and poor skin texture. If you are reading this, you likely want to rebuild collagen.
There are several methods.

But the body needs roughly 12 weeks to build collagen, regardless of the treatment method:

  • topical
  • device based
  • in-office procedure
  • some combination of the above

While there is some immediate improvements to be seen with each approach, there is no “get collagen quick” scheme to be had.

No matter what method you choose, you’ll wait 12 weeks to start to see meaningful restored collagen results.

What is the Nira Precision Laser Device?

This handheld dermatological device stimulates natural collagen production for younger looking skin and works in the small tricky crevice areas like around:

  • the brow bone
  • crow’s feet
  • mouth
  • eleven lines
  • it is particularly effective on forehead wrinkles

What the NIRA Precision Laser Device Does

This lightweight device offers a collagen building method without the risks associated with in-office fractional laser skin resurfacing.

And it is far less painful. No risks or downtime. 

The change is slow and subtle but certainly notable.

The NIRA device is an ergonomically shaped tool that is lightweight and fits in your hand.

About The NIRA Device Technology

The patent explains the process of building collagen quite clearly:

BACKSTORY OF FRACTIONAL LASERS

Traditional fractional lasers seen in dermatological offices heat and destroy skin tissue, specifically deteriorated collagen in the dermal layer of the skin.

The hope is once the old collagen is gone, new healthier collagen will fill it’s place.

This approach is often successful.

Are there any risks to fractional lasers?

Yes. Some things can go wrong. These include:

scarring

infection

discoloration

poor healing

less collagen than desired

And the process is painful.

Why We Love the NIRA Precision Laser Device

NIRA is a non-fractional laser.

The goal is to heat shock the skin enough to stimulate collagen in the dermal layer, but not enough heat to destroy existing collagen.

The NIRA gets a controlled heat shock by combining “an optical energy source that emits optimum wavelengths, an energy dosage, and/or a thermal boost under controlled conditions“. [1] 

These heat shocks produce “heat shock proteins” (HSPs). HSPs stimulate collagen synthesis. Some HSPs are also involved in preventing the kind of cell death seen in skin aging.

To avoid any of the risks associated with traditional fractional lasers:

  • there is a safety sensor to keep the heat controlled.
  • A timer keeps the heat shock energy burst to a short, non-damaging time limit.
  • This makes it safe enough for repeated, non-damaging heat shocks.

What the NIRA Bundle Contains

Here is what came in my bundle:

The Treatment Head

The treatment head makes direct contact with the skin to be treated.

Because the head is small (about the size of a pencil head eraser) the treatment can be very targeted to thin skin areas you otherwise would not aim a fractional (damaging) laser.

This includes eyebrows, nostrils, and lips.

The Nira Precision Laser Device Experience

With a treatment head about the size of a pencil eraser, we find this device can target tiny, hard to reach spots.
This is especially good around the eyes, lips and nose.

NEWA Experience 4 Best Use Tips You Need to Know

· 2 Comments

We recently interviewed EndyMed, the makers of NEWA. NEWA is an at-home RF device designed to reduce facial sagging. The 3DEEP radiofrequency energy it uses is the same medical technology used by clinics and dermatologists. Here are our first impressions of NEWA.

What is NEWA?

NEWA is an at-home RF device designed to reduce facial sagging.

The 3DEEP radiofrequency energy that powers this device is the same medical technology used by clinics and dermatologists.

Here are our first impressions.

1. Does Using the NEWA device Hurt?

No. NEWA is not painful: it doesn’t zap, sting or burn.

There is a mild warmth, like getting an ultrasound.

We use it on the higher power setting, 2, but there is a lower power setting if needed. Even around the orbital bone, there is no discomfort.

Newa side view

Set the device to power level two for use, but reduce it to level one if you experience any discomfort

2. How much NEWA ACTIVATOR GEL should I use?

NEWA activator gel

The device comes with a tube of activator gel.

There is a conduction gel. It is important to use enough gel to be able to smoothly glide the treatment head in circles on the skin without tugging the skin. The amount shown in the instructional video looks like a bit much, but about what I found I needed.

I am doing all the possible treatment areas, so I use more gel than someone treating one area. The gel is reapplied to the treatment head before each section session.

At this rate, the gel tube in the kit will last about a month.

Replacement tubes of activator gel tubes are available from NEWA and other beauty vendors like Sephora and Neiman Marcus.

3. The NEWA device Experience – How long does treatment last?

Doing all the treatment areas takes me about half an hour to 40 minutes. It is four minutes per treatment area.

I have slight redness after a treatment, but it is completely gone in about 15 minutes. There is no skin irritation. I can apply my makeup or serums immediately after.

I can see a lift immediately after use, especially on the brow bone area after a forehead treatment. And around my mouth.

I find it is worthwhile to take a few minutes to do a spot treatment immediately before makeup. It lifts the area and gives my eyes an alert, perky look and it smooths the lines from my nose to mouth.

Stay tuned for updates and a full report after our initial treatment is completed. Next up, we review the research to understand how the device works.

Stay Tuned For Updates on Our Results

The Style Chicks are currently using NEWA to treat:

  • Orbital area
  • Upper cheeks
  • Jawline, turkey waddle, and upper throat
  • Lower cheek area and sagging around the mouth
  • Forehead

4. Our Best Tips on How to Use

For the first month, we do 4-5 treatments per week in each area. We found the tips that EndyMed offered in our interview to be very helpful.

Expert Interview: Inventors of the NEWA At-Home Skin-Tightening Device

· 10 Comments

This article is an interview with EndyMed, the inventors of the NEWA at-home skin-tightening device.

Joseph Lepselter, the VP of Clinical Affairs graciously answered Style Chicks’ questions about how to best use the NEWA device for skin-tightening, Radiofrequency, 3DEEP technology, collagen production, plus tips and tricks for NEWA users.

What to Know About NEWA At-Home Skin-Tightening Device

When an at-home use device promises skin-tightening, we’re intrigued.

When the device is from ENDYMED, makers of professional skin-tightening equipment for medical offices, you have our full attention. 

Got NEWA questions? Us too. And NEWA answered them for us. Read our interview with NEWA, the device for at-home skin-tightening.

What is NEWA?

Skin-tightening from home is an appealing prospect. It is easy, discrete, and works on your schedule.  Several devices claim to provide skin tightening.

But not all technologies are created equal and therefore don’t deliver consistent results.

NEWA was developed by ENDYMED – a global leader in medical aesthetics, and the 3DEEP radiofrequency energy that powers the NEWA is the same professional medical technology used by dermatologists and clinics worldwide.

NEWA technology has been clinically proven by over 40 independent clinical studies that set it apart from other devices.

But before you buy any anti-aging device, how do you know it will work?

The Interview: Your Newa Questions Answered

Joseph Lepselter, the VP of Clinical Affairs at EndyMed graciously answered Style Chicks’ questions about NEWA:

QUESTION:

How does RF (Radio Frequency) technology work?

ANSWER:

“NEWA, is powered by our professional medical grade 3DEEP radiofrequency technology which is the same technology that powers our ENDYMED treatment platforms used by Dermatologists worldwide.

Our 3DEEP RF technology delivers controlled energy deep into the skin tissue, reaching the dermis skin layer, stimulating the natural production of new healthier collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin fibers are essential components of the skin which gives your skin shape, lift and support. The collagen fibers are responsible for skin strength and tone. The elastin fibers allow skin flexibility and elasticity.”

QUESTION

How does the patented 3DEEP technology produce collagen in the skin?

ANSWER

“The 3DEEP technology cause microscopic thermal wound that heats the dermal collagen, which stimulates wound healing, dermal remodeling and new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid formation.”

QUESTION

What kinds of improvements can NEWA users expect?

ANSWER

“NEWA is clinically proven to increase collagen in the skin by an average of 36% which results in a visible reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles and an improvement in skin texture and firmness.

The results build gradually because the body is actually being “trained” to produce higher levels of collagen and elastin, which is why our recommended treatment protocol for the first month is 4-5 treatments. After that, you can move down to maintenance treatment 2-3 times a week. The results are long lasting and accumulative which means they get better over time.”

QUESTION

What areas can the NEWA treat?

ANSWER

“Our recommended treatment areas are the upper cheeks (which extends to the crows’ feet area), lower cheeks/jawline, and under the chin (turkey waddle area).

To treat around the eyes, you must treat the skin over bony areas only, be careful not to get too close to the eyes and not to treat over the eyelids.”

QUESTION

The NEWA website shows the before/after results of areas such as the forehead and throat. Are these also treatable areas?

ANSWER

“I don’t believe we have photos of the throat area but rather under the chin/upper neck area. That area has been clinically tested and responds very well to RF skin tightening.

The forehead was not one of the areas that were clinically tested but we do have NEWA users that treat their forehead with great results.”

[Editor’s note: He is correct. The photo we perceived as throat improvement, upon closer inspection, was indeed the lift and tightening of the upper neck/chin/turkey waddle area. This gave an appearance to us of improved draping of the entire neck and throat area skin.]

QUESTION

What age group benefits the most from using NEWA?

ANSWER

“We tend to see more dramatic results with the 35-65 year-old age group.”

QUESTION

How does NEWA compare with in-office procedures such as Thermage, Ultralift, or Thermatite?  How does it compare to invasive procedures?

ANSWER

“The technology behind NEWA is widely considered safer and more effective than any other RF technology available today, whether that be a home use device or an in-office treatment like Thermage.

This is because our RF technology is multi-source, phase controlled RF which means that it’s more efficient at focusing the RF energy to the exact target area which provides better results than bi-polar or mono-polar RF technologies.

Compared to invasive procedures, the upside to NEWA is that it’s safer (non-invasive), there’s no downtime or bruising, and the results are more natural looking. The downside is that the results are also more subtle compared to a surgical facelift.

Another point to consider when comparing to any in-office procedure, whether it be surgical or non-invasive is the difference in price. These procedures cost thousands of dollars while NEWA is a fraction of the cost.”

 

QUESTION

Any special tips or tricks for NEWA users?

ANSWER

“Yes. Stick to our treatment protocol.

Our treatment protocol is the result of numerous clinical studies that all indicated that the first month of treatment with NEWA is the key to optimal skin tightening results.

For the first month you’ll want to do between 4-5 treatments per week. Make sure that your NEWA is blinking green halfway through your treatment because that’s the indication that the heat level is effective.

After the first month, you can move down to maintenance treatments 2-3 times a week.  But trust on this – the first month protocol is something you want to follow through on.”

QUESTION

How does the NEWA activator gel enhance the treatment?

ANSWER

“Working in tandem with your NEWA device, it conducts the RF energy into the dermis while keeping the surface of the skin cool to avoid discomfort or overheating.”

Use the Lift Activator gel with the Newa device

NEWA comes with the NEWA Lift Activator Gel:  Use the Lift Activator gel with the Newa device

QUESTION

Which is better: moving the head in bigger or smaller diameter circles? Faster or slower rotation?

ANSWER

“Smaller diameter circles with slower rotation; however, as the area of concern is smaller, the movement should be faster. The key is to make sure you’re reaching optimal heating levels. Keep and eye on the blinking LED light on the top of the device. When it turns green, that means you’ve hit your goal.”

The LED indicator light will turn green during use.

The LED indicator light will turn green during use.

QUESTION

Is there anything else NEWA users should know?

ANSWER

“We always recommend taking a photo of yourself before you start using NEWA and then another after 1 month. That way you can compare your before and after and keep motivated to maintain your results. It’s easy to overlook gradual changes for the better but photos don’t lie.”

Thanks to Endymed and Joseph for taking the time to share this very helpful NEWA intel with us!
