STOP is a little handheld device that uses a unique and patented TriPollar™ radio frequency technology for skin lifting, contouring and smoothing.
It retails for £400 ($785) and brings professional, clinical aesthetic skin treatment to the home that is set to transform the anti-ageing industry through offering a no-fuss, effective and professional skin renewal system in the comfort of your own home – not a scalpel in sight!
Scientifically developed and clinically proven, the patent pending TriPollar™ technology focuses four low power beams deep into the dermis; much like a laser lens focuses its light. Emitting a Radio Frequency into the skin’s dermal activity is stimulated to tighten collagen fibres and increase new collagen production. This leads the skin to become tighter, more supple, with significant reduction in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Release due for September 2008.

Retailing at £99 ($195 approx), this class headset focuses on authentic materials, intuitive technology, outstanding comfort and excellence in audio. It allows up-to six hours of continuous talk-time and can be charged simply using a PC via a USB cable or in the car.
The Jabra JX20 Pura weighs less than 13 grams and the ear-piece maximises comfort and conveniently rotates to switch the device on and off, preserving the integrity of the design.

Every detail of the premium headset has been considered to ensure consistent design and style. A discreet white-light LED tells users about the status of their headset and uses soft light and minimal colour to ensure purity of the design. Even the packaging and desk-stand are exclusively designed by Jacob Jensen to match the headset and create an experience that demonstrates the power of elegance.
The Jabra JX20 Pura is available exclusively with Carphone Warehouse throughout June and July and across the UK in additional selected retailers from August.
