The first time I used derma wand I was able to go to level 9 with no problem. Are others more sensitive than me, or is this normal?

i started out at one because I was scared from what people said I too use 9 except around my eyes I stay about 2 or 3 I also have found pure vit. e oil works very good when using the derma wand. ( I think I see some results) but want to keep a close eye to make sure it is not wishful thinking.

I have been using it for a long time. I use it full blast, but around my upper lip and eyes I cannot tolerate above 1/2 power. If you use it 3 mins a day, you will see virtually no results. I use it 15 mins/day.

I took the cap off, plugged it in, turned it to 2 and touched the back of my hand to get used to the 'tingly sensation' as the instructional booklet advises. I felt no tingly sensation at all. I turned the dial to 9 and again felt no sensation whatsoever. I don't feel anything when using as directed on my face. I just received this today but am wondering if it's defective.

you may be able to but should you? Especially in sensitive areas of your face? I would go buy the manufacturers plan. If is says work up to it then work up to it just maybe a bit quicker.

My skin is in good shape I could not go beyond 3 I didn't like the way it felt like shocking me. You must have stronger skin.

That is the level I use and had no problem. I use twice a day with moisturizer. I'm still waiting to see results afteralmost 2 months!

Everyone has a different tolerence level. It took me 3 days to get use to the feeling, now I only use level 9; its the recomnended level for the best results anyway. I'm no expert but I dont think there's anything wrong with starting on level 9.

I only ever use it on max power. Even around mouth and eyes. It doesn't bother me at all. I didn't even really have to work up to it either, except I felt it out because others warned it was uncomfortable. I use it 30+ minutes/day, too.I DEFINITELY notice the effects, and I love it!Not sure if it's because of my using it for so long at so high, but it stopped working after a few months. I called the customer support number on the website and they are sending me a new one. I MISS it! I feel like I look so old.

I use it on the highest number just not around the mouth or eyes, I think as long as it is comfortable for you it is fine.

It's perfect! I've been using it for 2 months i believe. I use it for the whoooole area. The first time, not gonna lie, will be a rather painful, but 100% worth it!. After that the hairs grow back here and there, alot thinner, and i hardly even feel it anymore. Now i'm always smooth and ready to go. ; )Recommendation, soak in a nice warm bubble bath first, and then use lotion right after. Also the redness/irritation from having your hair yanked out by its roots usually only lasts around 24 hours. After a few uses that also gets less noticable. Nothing nearly as bad as the horrible irritation i get from constantly shaving the area.Definitely buy this, i absolutely love it. Best one i've ever used! It's perfect!

I've used this machine several times and I've had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. It does not cause any redness or scarring at all. I use it about once a week, but I still go for a professional microdermabrasion at my salon every 6 weeks or so. It's a good in between unit, in my opinion, and was worth the money.

It's tolerable! You can turn it down in areas that may snap to much. For instance, my under arms are sensitive so I put it at a level 3 and I've had good results. No pain no gain.

I haven't tried Derma Wand. But I am super happy with Lift Wand. Two my other girlfriends love it too. :)

I have sensitive skin and shaving my legs every other day would give them bumps & burn. I started using this last summer & have had no complaints. For me it worked better than shaving. The longer I used it the longer I could go between treatments. Sometimes I rotate between their different types.

You might have a sensitivity/alergy to it. I have never experienced a negative reaction with it, and none of my massage therapy clients have ever reported a problem.

Yes, but at the highest setting I am more sensitive. It feels a little like a rubber band snap. I don't feel the snap in non tan areas at the highest setting. The unit should flash when is properly positioned regardless of tan or not. Just not as effective or concentrated on the hair follicle if tanned.

Yes it does. At first i was having a hard time with it because i used to shave so the hair on my face was thick. I used it every week the hair on my face now is light and soft . But to tell you the truth it sting a lot worsted when the hair was thick. I have extremely sensitive skin.

Yes, you have to adjust the levels every time your turn on the machine. I am 1 year and a couple months in, using very diligently, and this has definitely gotten rid of most of my hair!

It depends on individual, I use every 3days, still feel sensitive after every use, sometimes it lasts more than 8 hours.P

i removed some hairs on my chinny-chin-chin and had no problem. i can't speak for any other parts of my face. my skin isn't terribly sensitive, but i had a great experience all around with MOOM. good luck.

Based on my research before the purchase, the Lift Wand has a higher amount of Frequency than the Derma Wand, and the frequency is adjustable which is nice. I have never used the Derma Wand so I don't know how well it works, but I have seen nice results from the Lift Wand. The only thing about the Lift Wand that I believe could be improved is that the fittings are glass and seem that they could easily break if you're not careful. In which case, I have been very careful in handling them around the sink when I go to clean them. I hope my response helps you, and good luck. BTW, I use a couple other devices for my face, so if you are interested in hearing about them, you are more than welcome to Facebook me at billdunston2@facebook.com.

I am not sure, sometimes I feel the same. However when I was in physical therapy the tech said the pads on their machine needed to be in a sort of square pattern so the power could go from one to another - it is difficult for me to put the pads on myself so they end up (on my low back) where they stick not sure if it is in a circle/square or not.I would agree with the other comments..........I found when I put a small amount of the gel (intended for the wand) on the pad it did seem to feel "stronger" Maybe like the other person said there is not enough power for all four to be strong enough.

I think it depends on your skin, but I have very sensitive skin and used a moisturizer with it. Hope this helps.

I have a very sensitive skin. It caused me irritation and it gives a burning sensation unless you dilute it with water as indicated. Good for hair, not so good for the skin.

It helps. Not 100% for me. I am highly sensitive and wear an EMF pendent too and still feel some low level that irritates me after prolonged use.
