Derma Wand Anti-Aging System - Portable Handheld Skincare Therapy Machine- Argon/Neon

I bought this from Amazon years ago after watching several infomercials for the device. I had a suspicion that claims about the device were bogus and I was just another sucker who was parted from their money. Imagine my surprise when I actually saw results!I see the biggest difference in the drooping skin under my eyebrows. As we get older, everything starts to sag--no matter how good our skincare routine is. After treating one eye, the puffy hood of skin above the eyelid is noticeably tightened and the eyebrow is higher/more lifted than the untreated eye. The effect remains for several hours. Cheekbones appear somewhat more defined, and the drooping at the corners of the mouth is a bit improved as well. I also see results around the jawline, but the main problem with my full jowls is caused by being too heavy. There's only just so much improvement you'll get in that area when you're overweight. However, I'll take any improvement I can get.I don't use the serum that came with this set. I use a lot more pressure than is shown in the tutorial, so I slather on a heavier emollient cream to allow the device to easily glide across the skin. I also use the device at its highest setting around the eyes (setting "9" rather than the recommended setting "1") and I think this gives me more dramatic results.Here are some disclaimers for those of you expecting miracles:Nothing is going to miraculously improve the look of your skin if you don't consistently take care of it. I get so tired of people writing negative reviews about devices or makeup after trying it one time and being disappointed that they don't look 20 years younger immediately or that makeup looks dry or crepey on their skin. You can often tell by their comments that they don't religiously care for their skin. I will be 57 this month, but I look like I'm in my early 40's (some say mid- to late-30s) because I have found truly effective skin care lines (Skinn Cosmetics and Baetea serums) and I follow an intense skin care routine--twice a day, every day. (If your skin has a tough, weathered or aged layer or is parched and dry, slathering on ANY makeup product won't hide this.)Using this device, I don't see a lot of difference in skin texture, but I do see a notable difference in the firmness of the skin--less sagging. The more you use the device, the better the results--the results aren't permanent. When I forget about using it, sagging and puffiness return. Nice looking skin takes commitment.For me, this device helps fight the sagging and puffiness that naturally occurs as skin ages in ways that good skincare cannot. Since I can't afford regular treatments from an esthetician and wouldn't dream of cosmetic surgery, I'm thrilled to get results with my sagging skin issues from the Dermawand.(I did not receive any discounts on this product or any compensation for this review. Just got done using it and felt compelled to write a review.)

I’ve only been using this two weeks and already my skin looks better then it has in years! The big line I had between my eyebrows is almost gone. That said a few helpful tips:1. They say “3 minutes” but its misleading, actually if you do all of the exercises they suggest it’s a lot longer. I do all of the face exercises for wrinkles (not the ones for blemishes) and it takes me about 25 minutes and I’m doing that twice a day. I am wondering if the negative reviews are from people who only used it for 3-4 minutes. I think it works but you have to be willing and able to invest the time.2. My order did not come with a DVD just a booklet that didn’t make much sense to me. DermaWand has the video on their website but it was hard to pause and rewind so I found the video on youtube and the first three times I used the DermaWand I watched the video while I used it. The third time after I watched it I made a numbered list of all the exercises and put it in language that made sense to me. I don’t need the video now I just use my list to make sure I remember all the exercises.

Look, this doesn't lift your face miraculously, but I can attest to the amazing change in my skin. My skin is tighter, I get less than a quarter of the acne. I SO wish I had this as a teenager!!!!! If you have cystic acne at all, this is amazing. As soon as you feel the start of one, zap it. It is gone and improving within a day. I used it faithfully for six months, twice a day (with my own lotion - theirs is useless). I did notice a firmer neck and mouth area. But as I read on about them I learned some things. It is not going to tighten skin for someone who is young. And by young I mean someone without aged (beginning to sag) skin. It does not tone facial muscle, but rather tightens skin. Typically as women age, their facial muscles age (and begin to weaken) first. That is my case, the skin hasn't really begun to sag yet (but I know it's coming.) So without that, I cannot accurately comment on the toning part of it. There is an odor of ozone, it isn't bad.The zapping doesn't hurt and it only took me three days to climb up to maximum power - which you need for results. I read reports of it making people break out a bit. This happened to me a little at first. I believe that the initial use drives oils and potential pimples to the surface. It happened for about three days after a about the same number of days in use. Then it was gone, and my skin really did become perfectly free of blemishes. Lastly, be loyal to the use of this product for skin tightening. I did notice a slight change around the corners of my mouth and lips. But I stopped using is for a month - and did notice a slip right back. Using it to zap and prevent acne - works. That should be done as often as you need it.
