Does the DermaWand really work?

By GSB on 03 Apr 2008

I've been watching the infomercial for DermaWand and wonder what results "real" users are having? If you've used the DermaWand would you please let me know what you think? Thanks!

Gosh, it certainly looks fishy to me. if dermawand worked then wouldn't we all stop going to the spa or dermatologist? what do you think? --only55

I tried DermaWand & after 1 week noticed the light system was blinking like it wasn't wk'g right. I called co. & devlopers contacted me. Few days had past. By then I had sm.-blisters above brow/+dent spot on cheek same shape as head of unit. All-products w/Aloe (allergic to) so advised to use KY gel to glide unit. Later flickered more & co. said send back to replace. I did & they did credit off on card & said I'm fair, so probably too sensitive. I wanted to try on neck but refused to allow me re-purchase. Now I'm glad. 1" dent is still on cheek. I think the light therapy caused something to happen & not safe. Time I had, just abused/not rejuved!

Absolutely! This item takes commitment and care. You do not have to use the expensive skin products the company sales you can use your own. I use it on my face and it does continue to rejuvenate my skin. My fiance had a wrist injury and uses the wand to shock the nerves and has gotten feeling back!

I agree you can use the dermawand with any ingredients and get benefits and also spray mist of water if it starts to dry out; however, not sure about whether using other cremes would get the same benefits claimed by the galvanic spa as it works with some type of positive/negative frequencies. I had stopped using both of them because of the high costs but now using with other good quality products.

I used it for a few weeks and I noticed some changes. I always use it on the lowest setting - anything higher hurts my skin. But on the right setting, it massaged the skin on my face and effected some degree of tightening. But being the lazy person that I am, I stopped using it. I think it will work if you use it for a long time. But based of L.S. testimonial, I think it's not for everybody. Now, my DermaWand lies peacefully inside my drawer. Who knows, when will I use it again. I guess I'm just too busy. And too lazy =P

That is so funny. I too purchased it and seemed to have nice results while I used it for a few months. ..nothing spectacular and so now mine also sits in the drawer and I search for something with more dramatic results like IPL. Someone highly recommended $300 Galvanic Spa which uses some type of frequency as well and I'm wondering if that really works and if it's similar to the Derma Wand.

I read in a informative packet online that I had found somewhere that it shoots micro electric currents through your skin.

I just purchased my Derma Wand. Have used it for two days, morning and evening, with my usual moisturizer for face and neck and my moisturizer for eyes and I am already thrilled. I noticed the difference almost immediately. It softened fine lines, both around the mouth and eyes, deep wrinkles, noticeable pores and my overall skin texture appears softer and tighter. I really am amazed and will definitely continue this daily regime. I am 57 yrs old, with an olive complexion. During the summer months my skin tans whether I like it or not. I recommend this product to anyone over 50. I really was not expecting the results that I've already seen, especially in such a short time.

Before Dermawand, there was device called Rejuvawand with same claims. It had infrared that went deeper. I was considering. Sold exclusive by Light Dimensions. Now It's on net at ebay & discount online stores. I think co. went under & selling what's left. Possible fate of the Dermawand too? Would like info if anyone knows/tried Rejuvawand? Why did this 1 disappear? Was also on tv.

Does anyone think this is similar to the Galvanic Spa device?

Funny, haven't been back here for so long. I was looking into Galvanic spa back in July as I have a derma wand I felt I did get some results but like the other's said, for some reason, it ended up in my drawer..maybe because I ran out of their product and didn't want to order more. Now I got the galvanic spa and I can see results after one treatment. I do think there is something similar about the two but I don't know enough to say what the similarities and differences are. They both have some frequency/current although the galvanic is battery operated and the derma wand plug in the wall and has a light. Hope someone will enlighten us.

I just purchased today after watching the infomercial and I will update you and if possible post some before and after pictures to let everyone see if this really works I have 30 days to try it out so why not.

Galvanic and high frequency (telsa current) are two different things.
You can use just about any product with them, depending on what you want to achieve.
I can post more on the subject if anyone is interested.
I have been an aesthetician for almost 20yrs.
Before using or buying any type of facial machine you should always do your homework and make sure that is what you are looking for.
Don't waste your money if you are not willing to use these products at least 3 times weekly.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

Thank you for clarifying that for me. :)!

can you use both galvanic and dermawand?

horselover5871 14 Feb 2012

i see you are an aesthetician...could you please tell me if using machines like the derma wand for expended periods are safe?? what if an unnoticed skin cancer was under the skin, would the derma wand make it worse or make it turn into full blown skin cancer?? i dont have skin cancer but i do have skin spots that ive read could be pre cancer spots?? so just wondering how these machines affect stuff like that?? thanks sooooooo much from rhonda

chellamia 15 Feb 2012
I'm using both but really can't say with authority and would like to know. It's amazing how many aesthetician's never heard of either. Would really like a concrete answer to this and ALSO as to whether the galvanic is beneficial with other cremes which many are doing and which my aesthetician said would help drive it more into the skin but the nuskin people would disagree with that.

KAJ....I'm definitely interested in the difference between these two products both of which I have and I just can't afford the $60/month for the galvanic products which they claim can only work to reduce lines with their product because of the particular frequencies. Feel like I can get benefit with the dermawand with any good product as it is working with light waves. Agree that you have to use the products to get the benefit but they said twice a week with the galvanic is enough to get the results.
KAJ 24 Feb 2012
You can use the machines for an extended period of time. However, if you have any areas that are suspect you should have them checked by a doctor at once. Most skin cancers are Basal Cell or Squamous Cell, Melanoma being the most dangerous. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

KAJ, I have a Rife machine I have never used on my face, derma wand and galvanic spa. I don't see any settings for the face with the Rife but you think I could use it on my face? The one I have I just hold the bars in my hands and use it for some viral illness. I can't afford to keep up with the expensive $60/month on the GV so occasionally use it with other products but they claim it has to be some positive/negative charge. The one I like the best and wish i had know it was safe to use daily is the derma wand which I am getting in the habit of using regularly and just spray on a little mist if the creme get's absorbed. The aesthetician I had been to and uses "microcurrent" said that all these products are similar and help to drive the product into the skin. She does have some impressive before/after pictures. Josephine Ramos and more info on beautifulimage.com but she says she doesn't necessarily use the products that go with the machine.
chellamia 16 Apr 2012
Cheer, did you ever get a clear answer to your question? KAJ seems to have some good ideas on the subject and hope she answers my latest question, Personally, since I really can't afford the $60/month the Galvanic spa recommends, I wish I had just stuck with the dermawand as from what I'm gathering, all these things are using various microcurrents and what the sellers do is just tell you they never heard of the other to make you buy theirs as I can never seem to get a concrete FINAL CLEAR ANSWER. I have been spending $150 for Refirm and 4 tx so far and until I see her before and after, I really can't say I see any major change. If there is, it's VERY SUBTLE and suppose to encourage collegen growth. I am going to go to Josephine Ramos as she has impressive before/after and do her microcurrent therapy and if I dn't get the results I am looking for, next stop...neck/ FACE LIFT. which I was hoping to avoid as if you weren't me, you would say, "you don't need one" however, when I look in the mirror, there is no question in my mind, a minor lift may be the only way to get ride of marionette and chicken wiggle.

I'd love more information of the derma wand. I have one - bought it about 2 years ago and it ended up in the drawer. I don't remember seeing any results that made me want to keep using it. (Maybe that's why it is in the drawer) I would love to remove the heavy lines on my forehead and the wrinkles/lines under my eyes - any ideas? Thanks

ulthera I hear is better for mild (if not too far gone) sag. Forget these other things -- they are temporary at best, and there is simply not enough current to cause any real change, This is what honest doctors who know their stuff will tell you, sorry. Get needling done to drive it deeper into yr skin, but do NOT spend money on these users and liars! Save it for a lift and retin-A.

its miracle

Huebner 27 Jan 2012

KAJ, please post some more information. It is difficult to do the homework when you don't know enough about the products. I am looking to reduce wrinkles around my eyes and on my neck and generally improve the condition and appearance of my skin.
