From iPico to iEllios

We've been waiting for the Perfector upgrade for over a year now. It's been a long wait, with many changes in design and technology over time.

We had been promised delivery in mid 2009, then late 2009, then early 2010. But Dr Weiss is determined to create the perfect rejuvenation machine, so has continued to modify the prototype.

The latest news is that the machines will finally go into production in end April. There's over 120 orders before me, so it is likely to be mid year at the earliest.

What is most interesting, is how the device has changed, from looking like the current Perfector, to a new-age clear blue case, so the inner workings are visible, to one that looks like a Mac.

They've also decided to produce a cheaper device with some Pico functions (now named the iPico), and iEllios, the ultimate rejuvenation machine.

As far as I'm aware, I'm getting the iEllios. I'll be really upset if they pull a fast one on me now. Not my fault the name has been changed!!! And I've not parked my deposit with them for a year to be passed off with an inferior machine. No siree!!!

Anyway, here's a preview of the iEllios. What it looks like at the moment anyway...

Ion Magnum 2: Now at Simply Aesthetic

It's here! It's here! After weeks of waiting for the latest upgrade to roll off the production line, our Ion Magnum 2 has arrived!

Actually, it arrived yesterday, but thanks to some sticky beak nose customs officers, the machine arrived with blown fuses. That set off a major meltdown with me last night, but fortunately Cirsten pointed us in the right direction, so a simple fuse replacement got it working!

I dashed back to the clinic after my SNEC list this afternoon, eager to try it out for myself. The last time I tried the original Magnum was 3-4 months ago, and it was not nice. I take my hat off to my patients who have had their entire body treated at high intensity.

So does the machine live up to its promise of being comfortable?

Treating the tummy alone, it certainly seems to be. The contractions are certainly smoother and less painful than before. There's still some prickling involved, but nowhere near as much as before. As I was in a rush, I didn't do the standard measurements/photos. My main concerns were whether the machine was working and whether it was more comfortable. A big sigh of relief yes to both. Phew!
