Derma Wand Review

Should You Buy the Derma Wand Facial Device?

Hello again,

I saw the Derma Wand infomerical last night and looked on your site to see if you've reviewed this product yet or not.

It doesn't look like you have yet and I was wondering if you have heard anything positive or negative about it?

BTW, your Thermage before and after pictures look great - are you still happy with the results?

Thanks,

Amrita

Thank you. Yes, I’m still happy with my Thermage results; but, if you read this month’s newsletter, you probably surmised that I’m not likely to go through it again.

Derma Wand High Frequency Facial Wand Review

If you’ve ever had a professional facial where the esthetician ran a wand over and over your face, you know the wonderful “champagne bubble” sensation. Perhaps you also recall the distinctive ozone smell, as well and how relaxed your face felt after the treatment.

Such facial wands deliver high frequency pulses to the skin that literally massage the cells like thousands of tiny little fingers. The effect is invigorating and relaxing at the same time.

The ozone, or enriched oxygen, is created by the high frequency pulses passing through neon or argon gas contained in the bulb at the wand’s tip. At the same time the thousands of “tiny fingers” are massaging, they are driving enriched oxygen into the skin and underlying tissues.

This may not be a good thing if used to excess. Ozone molecules have an oxidizing effect on practically everything they come in contact with.

They can damage lung tissue, crops, plastics, rubber, paints, etc.

In humans, health symptoms include: dry mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, and throat; headaches; vision changes; lung congestion; and edema. The most susceptible to ozone dangers are the elderly, the sick, and babies.

The Derma Wand massage stimulates circulation and helps skin care products (applied before treatment) to penetrate more deeply.

Creams containing exfoliants such as AHAs and BHAs should not be used before treatment. Such creams are formulated to strip away dead surface cells and should not be forced below the skin’s surface.

The cell excitation of high frequency pulse massage is thought to increase cell metabolism and assist lymphatic drainage. The enriched oxygen has a germicidal effect that cleanses toxins from the skin.

Professional models of high frequency facial wands cost between $200 and $400.

The Derma Wand, designed for home use, costs less than half the price of the pro versions.

An added advantage of buying the home use model is that you can enjoy the benefits of this invigorating facial treatment daily, if you like.

I have one concern about home use of such equipment. It’s the same concern I expressed over home use of the Quasar Baby LED photo-rejuvenation machine and that is “the greater potential for misuse in the hands of non-medically trained consumers.”

Finally, I have a question regarding the gas electrode bulbs. Do they wear out and, if so, where can you get replacements?

I searched the Internet and couldn’t find the answer. Before I bought one, I would want to know that. What looks like a great bargain sometimes is too good to be true.

Are you afraid of needles, scalpels and other invasive cosmetic procedures? Look into advanced peptide based skin care from Apotek.
