Dermawand Pro Review | Professional Anti-Aging Device

Earlier this year I reviewed the original DermaWand – a popular beauty tool that uses radio frequency and oxygen-rich thermal energy to perform safe in-home mini face lifts. With the holiday season fast approaching, nothing beats the gift of youthful skin and the company has recently released a new model that delivers visible results in less time.

The DermaWand Pro ($198.98) is 50% more powerful than its predecessor, featuring a sleek new design, non-slip comfort grip and 12 settings instead of 9. “The technology is clinically proven to work better than creams alone” to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also tones sagging skin, minimizes pores, improves texture, tightens loose folds on the neck, and helps fade crows feet, under eye bags and laugh lines.

As suggested in my previous article, do a spot test on your arm and read the instruction manual carefully. As the current touches the skin’s surface you will feel a distinct zap, similar to static electricity. The treatment is not painful but it takes some getting used to. Start at level one until you’ve adjusted to the sensation.

I didn’t experience any adverse reactions, pain or redness but I don’t usually turn the dial higher than 5. For someone like me who uses the DermaWand as a preventative measure, you probably don’t need the advanced intensity settings of the Pro model. I don’t have visible signs of aging or wrinkles so a quick touch-up here and there is enough to stimulate collagen, promote circulation and keep my profile toned.

If you suffer from advanced signs of aging, deep wrinkles, spots and drooping, the Pro model is more effective. Work your way through the levels until you reach the highest setting and move the glass tip slowly along your problem areas for optimal penetration. The microcurrent travels deep within the tissue to revitalize muscles and you can also treat other areas of the body including arms, legs and stomach.

You only need to use the DermaWand Pro for 3 minutes a day on clean moisturized skin and it gives your face and eye area a little lift before big events or special occasions. Instant results may be temporary so stay committed to achieve long-term goals.

Since using the device my skin definitely looks more refreshed and healthy. My mom loves borrowing my wand to rejuvenate her chin area so this Christmas she is getting her own.

The unit comes with a standard wall plug (no charging required), a Pre-Face Treatment Spray, instruction manual and carrying case for travel and storage.

DermaWand Review – Professional Anti-Aging Skincare Treatment

With Mother’s Day coming up next week and summer just around the corner, many of us want to look good, feel great and put our best face forward. Instead of sending mom to the spa for one costly session or continually spending money on expensive anti-aging treatments, DermaWand offers a convenient solution.

There is an increasing trend among women to look for solutions that provide clinical results at home and DermaWand ($119.00) is a great alternative to medical procedures. This lightweight, handheld device is easy to use and provides an effective DIY face and eye lift that yields visible results. When creams and serums aren’t enough and surgery isn’t an option, this powerful wand helps improve your appearance by recharging the skin’s youthful vitality.

DermaWand uses the same Radio Frequency Technology that doctors and skincare specialists use in clinics to manage premature aging but at a level that is safe for in-home use. It also emits thermal energy enriched with oxygen and massage to deliver quick, effective results.

You can use the DermaWand to diminish the look of fine lines and deep wrinkles but since I don’t have any, I use it to reduce pore size, smooth uneven texture and keep my skin and profile smooth, tight and resilient. It also helps lift the eyebrow area and any sagging/drooping skin that needs toning. Use it to tighten loose folds on the neck, fade laugh lines and crows feet, plump the lips and reduce puffy under eye bags for total facial rejuvenation.

When starting any treatment it is important to read the instruction manual carefully and perform a spot test on your arm or hand to determine how your skin will react. It takes time to get used to the sensation so start at level 1 and work your way up (the highest setting is 9). To me the treatment feels like being zapped with a soft charge of static electricity. I didn’t experience any pain or adverse effects but I’m not sure I will be able to use the highest level. Many people see results after the first treatment and you can definitely feel the waves penetrating deep into the tissue to stimulate collagen, improve circulation and revitalize your muscles.

You only need to use the DermaWand for 3 minutes a day after cleansing and applying moisturizer plus you can also treat your arms, legs, stomach and other areas of the body that need a little lift just in time for summer. Immediate results after the first few sessions may be temporary so you should keep using the device to achieve long-term goals. If your skin needs to be refreshed and energized before a big event, this tool provides the boost of confidence you need before the big day and it is very easy to incorporate into your daily routine. I am definitely going to continue my treatments to see how long it takes for drastic improvements. 

The unit has a standard wall plug and comes with a handy carrying pouch for travel, a Pre-Face Treatment Spray and the Derma Vital Skin Quench Moisturizer. For more information or to place an order, visit dermawand.com.

NeoStrata Skincare Review and Giveaway!

Today I have a special treat for my loyal followers and readers. As many of you know I’ve been using NeoStrata for years and I even got my friends and family hooked! In the spirit of the season I thought I’d introduce you to some of my top product picks and cult faves plus give you a chance to win them all! Your skin will absolutely love you for pampering it so lovingly and I’ve also included my secret weapon for long, thick lashes and lush brows!

First up is the Microdermabrasion Skin Resurfacing Duo. I like microdermabrasion so much that I have my own machine at home and the process works wonders for evening skin tone and texture but not many people are willing to shell out big bucks for an expensive device or spend up to $400 dollars at the spa. We all know that exfoliation is key to sloughing away dead, dull cells in order to achieve a healthy, radiant complexion and NeoStrata's exfoliating duo is the next best thing to a professional treatment.

To use you simply apply the crystals and massage gently for about one minute, then add the activator and massage for another two minutes. The crystals provide wonderful revitalizing benefits so skin appears smooth, supple and polished after just one treatment. The Activator releases powerful anti-aging ingredients to enhance skin clarity and boost radiance. This product retails for $75.00.

The Youth Factor GF Total Regenerating Serum is one of my favourites for improving texture, tone, hydration, blemishes and so much more! Although I don’t have wrinkles and other visible signs of aging this is a fabulous preventative measure for maintaining a beautiful sculpted profile and if time has taken a toll on your skin this potent blend will help revitalize problem areas.

The beautiful pearlescent formula absorbs quickly with no greasiness and helps reduce wrinkles by up to 69%, increase skin hydration by 72% and enhance elasticity by up to 60%. It also uses Epidermal Growth Factor to stimulate cell renewal and regenerate collagen and elastin to fortify skin. The serum retails for $78.00.

Since winter can be terribly drying many of us need to increase moisture and quench dehydrated skin to prevent peeling, flaking, dullness and irritation. The Hydra-Infusion Lotion has a fabulous oil-free formula for light, shine-free hydration that feels comfortable and works well at night, during the day and under makeup. The cream is infused with mineral rich Amazonian White Clay that absorbs excess oil without drying out the skin and it is also non-irritating and ideal for all skin types. This cream leaves my face soft, supple and ready to battle the winter wind! It retails for $30.00.

As a Beauty Editor who tests and uses a lot of makeup I know how important it is to cleanse your skin at the end of the day and unclog those pores. The Gel cleanser is among my faves because the formula removes impurities, dead cells and excess oil without stripping and the gentle formula is suitable for all ages. The gel produces a bit of suds for a refreshing clean and the formula contains Glycolic acid which helps to smooth, resurface and balance pH. The cleanser retails for $30.00.

Last but not least is my favourite Lash Enhance Serum on the market. This nourishing formula infused with fruit stem cells and thickening peptides is my secret to long, thick eyelashes. After just a few days of use I applied a few coats of my favourite mascara and noticed a huge difference in how plush, volumized and accentuated my lashes looked. I wasn’t the only one who noticed the growth, my friends and family began asking if I was wearing falsies! The formula is clinically proven to visibly lengthen lashes by up to 46% in just two weeks and up to 72% in 6 weeks although my results were much quicker! I usually apply it before bed so it doesn’t get into my eyes but the formula is non-irritating so it doesn’t burn.  Although I would have preferred a mascara-like applicator instead of a thin brush the formula fortifies to help prevent hair loss and you can also use it on your brows to thicken sparse, thinning areas. The serum retails for $60.00.
