OMG thank you Darkmoon, Nubrilliance is what I threw out, not nuface, although I think nuface is the company that makes all the NU anything products. Don't hold me to that, I could be wrong, but if memory serves.

I purchased my PMD direct from the PMD website. I'm not sure if I can post links here just yet but if you do a search for "personalmicroderm" it should come right up (the website itself has the same name so it should be easy to find). I cannot recall exactly what I paid for it but I recall that I paid over $200. However, I also purchased "extra's" to go with it because my daughters are using it as well and we don't like the idea of sharing the "tips" that come with the machine so we purchased a few extra so that we would each have our own. In addition, I am in Canada so shipping charges did cost me a little more (I had it couriered by UPS). Even so, I am thrilled to have made this purchase all the same because the PMD has been great for me.

I love this little gadget BIG TIME!! I have only used it a small handful of times so far but have already been seeing great results (smoother skin, flatter scars, lightening of dark spots, etc) and I couldn't be happier. Yesterday, I decided to give my face a rest and use it on other parts of my body. Yes, you can use it in other areas besides just your face. For me, personally, this thing has worked wonders on my extra rough spots (elbows, feet, knees) already and I just did those areas for the first time (ever) yesterday! Seriously, my feet have never looked and felt so smooth as they do right now. Oh, I should point out though, that when I did my extra rough areas, I did this without the suction cap on my PMD. I chose to do it this way based on my own desire, not necessarily because it is the recommended way to do it. I just figured it would work best for me to "sand" those rough areas down without suctioning at the same time so that is what I did and it worked like a charm for myself.

PS: Tiny (and anyone else interested), I just checked out the ShopNBC website and it does appear that the specific PMD they have for sale is the EXACT same one I have but at a much lower price. If you can snag one through here (as opposed to the PMD direct website) you may be better off as you will be paying less while getting more. From what I can tell, it appears that it comes with all the same stuff I got (well, besides the "extra's" I purchased) plus MORE tips than I got in my kit so it's not like you are paying less because less comes with the "kit" but rather just the opposite (paying less for more).

ShopNBC starter kit comes with:

SET INCLUDES:
PMD Personal Microderm Machine
Ten Blue Fine Grit Exfoliating Discs
Eight Green Medium Grit Exfoliating Discs
Large Body Cap
Small Facial Cap
Preinstalled Reusable Filter
AC Adaptor (Power Supply Cord) - Output DC12V, 500mA
Instructions (packed with DVD)
DVD Instructional Video

PMD site starter kit comes with:

THE SYSTEM INCLUDES:
1 personal microderm
6 exfoliating discs (2 green and 4 blue)
1 electric cord (Standard U.S. Outlet)
1 facial cap
1 body cap
1 reusable filter
Instructional CD and Pamphlet.

I never heard of the ShopNBC site before today so, lesson learned, I will likely be ordering through them when I need to add to my kit.

And good luck, DarkMoon, I hope your PMD arrives as expected and that you find it just as wondeful as Tiny and myself both do! Very Happy

Darkmoon thats funny on your daughters, at least my two son's don't bother with my "girly" stuff, I think they are even afraid to enter my bathroom Shock

free skin care · Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:33 pm

No wonder you need this machine Darkmoon!!!

I am happy you got the great price, I can not imagine you not loving this machine!! let me know what you think, if you hate it at least they allow returns for 30 days.

I wanted to add, the first time I used this I knew it was powerful, I actually scabbed an area (small area), but it took until the 3rd time of use for me to fall in love with this and to see big improvements. Improvements were there, just not as they are a few treatments in. I am adding this so anyone using this doesn't give up after a few times. I am not sure if KrazyKanuck felt the same or not?

Hide your machine DarkMoon, I am sure your daughter's still visit!!

I will be careful until I get the hang of using it Tiny! Thanks for the heads up on that. Smile

If and when they come to visit I have a surprise for them, getting a deadbolt put on my bedroom doors!

The tips are re-usable, at some point you do have to throw one out and put a new one on, I will not go by their recommendations, rather my skins, on when to do this. The filter is where they get you on the others, you have to do tips, filters and or even crystals. This one has a permanent filter, you wash it after each use, then put it back, it does dry fast.

Also I saw on their site, once you adjust to the blue/then green/ you can buy red (yikes), to up your exfoliation. The blue are strong on me and I have very normal, non-sensitive skin, so it will be a very long time before I rise to level red. But I do like that I can still bump this up down the road.

My ten tips should last me until I need red, in my humble opinion.

hope that helps

Tiny, thank you for that information about the tips. I will keep checking back on this thread to see how you all are doing. Smile

So after much reading I ave decided to give ziss little machine a chance.
I hope I don't end up consigning it to the gadget box sitting in my loft. A sad reminder of all my mistakes.
Now just to find best and cheapest way to get it to UK. More research needed.

PM me, perhaps for your first born grandchild, I could help you Laughing

LMFAO I just spat my coffee. Are you by any chance awaiting one of your boys to give you a grandchild. I'll have to think on it, tis a fine offer. You want her now or when she is a teenager?

Dark Moon I assure you I thought it was hilarious and warped is fab in my book. I think I have the same in my dna.

Ok back to review:

Did my treatment last night, and no Opps!! Skins very smooth this morning. I can attest to skincare going in differently after using this, it sinks right in, one product after another. I know I have a few months more before I see the "real" results.

Thanks for updating Tiny, I am awaiting mine none to patiently!

I hope I did not offend with my Rumpelstiltskin comment, I think you may have guessed I have a bit of a warped sense of humor? Laughing

OMG no, as you can tell, I am definately a bit sick in the head. I do hope I do not offend anyone either, I am truly being silly, not mean spirited.

I keep telling myself ....next week, next week, It is becoming my new Mantra! Very Happy

Patience is truly a virtue, my PMD just arrived and now I will get to give it a try! YAY!!!!!

BTW. Tiny I ordered the Skinn sonic cleansing brush, you are a sweet little enabler! Laughing

YAY!!!! Let me know if you agree with my assessment or not. We'll have to start a new thread on the sonic cleaner, just remember the only people who hated it, turns out, never let it charge up the 24 hours or so, truly don't test it, just plug it in and walk away. Can't wait to hear what you think.

free skin care · Sat Apr 28, 2012 3:54 pm

my bad, the plug in for ages is on the sonic cleaner, the PMD you just plug in and go! So enjoy that one tonight

Thank you Tiny.. I never see any immediate results from TCA either other than the fact that I exfoliate for sure... I think eventually I will end up buying PMD as I want to get rid of some small slightly raised scars(not keloids) here n there and it sounds like PMD would be great for those...

Hi daler and Tiny,

I used it last night and I am in love.

I do some heavy glycolic peels (even fell asleep for a few hours with one on!) they do leave my skin nice and smooth, glowing and exfoliated! I never have peeled or gotten red, flaky nothing negative.

This is worth twice the price I paid and it is nice and compact yet has the power it needs, my products were soaked up after my one use.

Thanks again Tiny for enabling my purchase of this gadget, I know I am going to be addicted! Laughing

So glad you like it!!! One of my observations after using this was how much product would sink in, one product after another. Cool

I love that about this.
