Hello, I found that they're selling Microdermbrasion/diamond 3in1 or 4in1 machines, that you can use in your home!?!?!
Has anyone tried any of these, as they're pretty reasonable price wise, varying from 300-600$. Is that ok for any skin type? as I have extremely sensitive skin and does it really work? any side effects? thanks in advance! |

It is not recommended for people with rosacea.
Here is a link that says why:

Hmmm....I have never seen this machine before. Do you think it would be better than the Clarisonic brush? |

Two different animals.
The TimePeel uses diamond dust to dermabrade -- remove the tiptop layer. (I have a Spa Girl that does the same thing.) The Clarisonic is a soft brush. The sonic waves supposedly loosen and clean debris in the pores, but, in my experience, it's not dermabrasion. I can finish cleaning my face with my Clarisonic, and the use an exfoliating cream and remove the top dead layer, which tells me the Clarisonic does not do this. If I used the exfoliating cream after the TimePeel or Spa Girl, nothing would come off. Just my experience, but it may be valuable to you.
Pretika has cheaper renditions of all these. You might consider those, to see if you actually will use/enjoy the item, before investing hundreds of dollars in the name brand. |

Thanks! I understand the difference now. Where can you purchase Spa Girl?
I have the Clarisonic Brush....does Pretika make a Microderm machine? |

Another question.....do you get similar results as with in-office microderm procedure?? If so, it would take about 6 treatments to justify the price as I pay around $50 for microderm at a local spa.
Just comtemplating if it would be worth the price? |

I ordered my Microderm machine from NCN last night....couldnt resist! 
Got an email from Nancy and they are sold out at the moment, but expecting another shipment this week.
I was a little disappointed...can't wait to get it....but on the other hand, seems like Nancy is so nice to work with. She emailed me early this morning and responded very quickly.
Now....I am anxiously awaiting my machine! |

I'd ask whoever is selling it. They should be selling the refills. If it's Nanci of NCN Professional Skincare, she has wonderful customer service!  |

| I bought a microderm machine from bigcamel 77 on ebay. No crystals, just diamond tips. I paid just under $200. I've had it a couple of months and am very happy with it. |
