I am at that age where fine lines and wrinkles are becoming more prominent and so I need all the help I can get in smoothing them out. I also have some melasma/hyperpigmentation that I developed during both of my pregnancies and so I was excited to try this out to see what it could do for my skin.
I've only used it three times since receiving it three weeks ago. The instruction booklet recommends that you use it once a week. That's really not enough time to test a product's effectiveness, however, after three treatments I have noticed an improvement in my skin's texture and appearance. A word of caution, if you apply too much pressure or stay in one place for too long, you will end up burning your skin like I did. I have tough skin and thought I needed to get aggressive with the pressure in order for the tool to work well. I was so wrong and ended up with minor burns on my chin, nose and around my eyes. When using the small green disc around my nose, I found it extremely difficult to get a proper suction. I applied more pressure and in doing so, I ended up sandblasting my skin off. Ouch! I won't do that again. So the next time I did a treatment, I was very gentle with the pressure and that produced better results.
I haven't noticed any significant changes in my melasma, however that may be because I have only used it three times. It does a great job of sloughing off dead skin cells a lot better than my exfoliation creams that I use. With continued use I am sure to see great results.
