Generally speaking, bad reviews are more likely to be real than good reviews. It's not a common or effective business tactic for a company to put down another product, especially without naming their own product. And here there is no alternative product to buy so it really makes no sense how you came to that conclusion. Sounds like something a defensive sales person might say.
Shilling is a real problem on the internet. Amazon is rife with shills right now and too many of the good reviews sound like sales pitches. Marketing companies don't just work on advertising anymore, they employ reviewers and forum posters now. When I buy something online, I always check the worst reviews first.
And this is an MLM company. When the users of a product are also sales reps, it's even harder to trust opinions on the products.
I've used this 3 times in the last month. Had it lying around for a few years and probably used it twice the whole time until recently.
I think that the electrical current in this thing is not good for skin. I've had microcurrent facials but they never made my skin feel burned and sore like this machine does. It definitely plumps your skin after but that's not necessarily a good thing. I'm convinced that the plumping is nothing more than inflammation - a response to injury and unlike laser, it's not controlled when using a cheap device like this.
After the 3rd treatment I can honestly say that my skin looks worse. My face has noticeably thinned out and on one cheek it looks like I have micro contour irregularities below the surface. They're apparent when I smile and my cheeks did not look like this before.
Looking at some before and afters advertising this product I have seen volume loss in the end result. There is one picture where a woman has pitting that she didn't seem to have in the "before." If I'm allowed to post links I will link to these photos if anyone's interested to see.
I'm not surprised about hearing of the other, more serious issues people have had with the Galvanic Spa. When a company chooses to go MLM, the priority is not the product, the priority is the 'downline' business model.
