DermaWand Reviewed

The DermaWand sells well, and seems to have many people searching for it and information about it. But does DermaWand actually produce the results it claims?

Firstly, for those who are not familiar with the advertising campaign, what is DermaWand supposed to do?

Okay, so the claims by the producers of DermaWand are that it can save you $100's when compared to the costs of visiting a dermatologist or skin clinic. It apparently uses a scaled-down version of the technology found in the machinery used by skin professionals in the dermatology industry for 40 years.

DermaWand is supposed to work using a gentle stream of low-level micro-currents, pulsed into your skin at a rate of 168,000 times per second, massaging and oxygenating your skin. The results are claimed to include lifting of sagging skin, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, an end to puffy bags under the eyes, and a reduction in the size of the pores. It also apparently works as a lip plumper.

In a nut-shell, Dermawand advertises that usage can take years off the appearance of your skin.

That is quite a list of claims, and naturally we were a little skeptical! 

How Does DermaWand work?

It is claimed that it works using exactly the same kind of technology as is used in Dermatology clinics, which result in increased circulation, bringing blood oxygen and vital nutrients to the surface of the skin, while the warming effect is said to aid the skin's rejuvenation. This technology is used commercially with the Microcurrent Facelift.

Are there any risks associated with using the DermaWand?

There have been concerns voiced about the safety of regularly putting electrical currents into the body. Some people have suggested that this may lead to heart problems. Time will tell, but at the moment there do not appear to be any people who have developed problems as a result of using DermaWand.

We don't think that the product is particularly unsafe, and certainly not when you compare it to surgical procedures that many people get in order to beautify themselves.

Does DermaWand get the results it advertises?

DermaWand did produce a clinical study, which seems to back up its claims. However, the number of participants in the study was only 26. In the average review, where users are able to vote on the effectiveness of DermaWand, the statistics seem to point in the other direction. The majority of users felt that no noticeable results were produced. Undeterred, we tried the DermaWand for a period of one calender month.

After one month it became plain to us that there was not going to be any dramatic reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, and I regret to say that I did not look one day younger, let alone years younger! Oh well... 

Do we recommend Dermawand?

Our conclusion is that DermaWand is not the product it has touted itself as. It really just does not seem to work, although we would love to hear from users with a more positive experience.

Furthermore, the customer service side of DermaWand also appears to be lacking, with a good number of complaints from customers who have struggled to get refunds.

At $120 plus postage and packaging it doesn't come cheap. You can probably find something better to spend your money on.

Our advice about DermaWand:

Don't buy it, it is a waste of both time and money. And if you already have, throw it away. There are plenty of good cosmetic products and procedures available that have been shown to work, but do your research, and don't be taken in by claims made in advertisments. If you are concerned about wrinkles, Botox or Chemical Peels are an option that will certainly be more likely to give you the results you want.
