Beauty Blogger Style Apothecary Review of the Skin Laser
"Do not expect to see results over night - ya gotta keep with it...consistency is key here, which is why I kept mine charged next to my bed and every night I do a five minute routine with the device focusing on my crow's feet, forehead elevens, and jawline. There is so much science behind this, half of which I don't understand, but I believe the laser stimulates the production of collagen which is responsible for skin elasticity, strength, firmness, you name it - collagen is the driving force. It is super simple to use, that's for sure..but the real beauty of it is that it works. I can absolutely attest to less lines around my eyes and a more plumped look there - also, there are some mornings when my eleven's are barely visible. I also feel that my jawline looks firmer..."

Can I use the Skin Laser on my hands or is it just a facial laser?
Yes. You can use a Skin Laser anywhere on your body (apart from your eyes, although crows feet are fine). It can be used purely as a facial laser but is perfectly safe to use on your neck, decolletage (chest area), thread veins or spider veins in your legs, the backs of your hands or anywhere you feel needs a little firming and tightening or anywhere you have blemishes such as back acne.
I am 68 years old and have had Botox and fillers for many years but would like something with a more permanent effect as they only last for a year. Would the Skin Laser be suitable?
Yes. The Wellay Skin Laser heals from within using 12 lasers at 4 different wavelengths, (670nm, 780nm, 830nm, 910nm. (Other cosmetic lasers use single wavelengths and only treat one level of the skin tissue).
When the skin laser is placed on your skin, each wavelength penetrates and heals different levels deep in the skin tissue, stimulating collagen synthesis and resulting in healthy skin. Collagen is largely responsible for skin strength, firmness and elasticity, strengthens blood vessels and plays a role in tissue development.
Daily treatment with a Wellay skin laser restores the tone and elasticity to your skin, thus rejuvenating, lifting and tightening.
10 minutes twice a day will reduce fine lines and wrinkles in 4 - 6 weeks and, with continued use, your skin will keep improving. You do need to keep using the skin laser but you can reduce the treatments to 3 or 4 times a week once your skin is looking good. However, if you stop treatment, your hard work will be undone and the natural aging process will begin again.
Can I use the Skin Laser for undereye wrinkles?
Yes, when the Skin Laser is placed on the skin, each wavelength penetrates and heals different levels in the skin tissue, promoting collagen synthesis and collagen is largely responsible for skin strength and elasticity, strengthens blood vessels and plays a role in tissue development.

Increased collagen production can help to fill in the fine lines and wrinkles around and under the eyes and improve other signs of aging.
