Has anyone bought a home use Radio Frequency Machine, and seen good results and/or can recommend a good one? TIA

Home devices are never going to be as powerful as in the salon. If they were, the inventor would be a billionaire! Even the salon ones often have no significant effect IME, and the results are short lasting. Liposuction and skin tite can make a difference. They cost a lot, several sessions are needed, and some have serious down time. There is no home RF device that can effectively tighten those areas you mention. LED masks can help reduce fine lines, if used consistently. Other devices make little or no discernible difference. I think surgery is the gold standard, unless someone comes up with a miracle!

I had one for the body after I lost weight and it did help on my inner thighs where skin was very wobbly (not cellulite but it did seem to help with that too, albeit minor, comparable to body brushing). Realistically though, and I knew this when buying it, it just accelerated a process that would have sorted itself out over a longer period of time. That bit of time gained was worth it for me and I was in my 30s which probably also helped. So basically, it works but probably not to the extend you wish it to and if you're older results will probably be even less distinguishable. Tbh, I found it a real hassle to have to use, if doing it again I'd probably go to a professional, one who'd combine it with microneedling or similar.

I'd never use it on the face though, it targets fat which is pretty precious in the face as you age.

Agree with your last sentence, apparently ultherapy too can have this undesirable effect on the face. Our old faces need all the fat they can retain!

That'd be a No then, lol! Thank you, must've been fake reviews I read.

I had good results from the Newa RF device. Noticeable that people commented. However it was a complete ball ache spending 25 minutes about 5 times a week massaging my face.

You have to be really committed and there is only so much they can do.
