I'm asking since you work in the industry and might be able to give some insights. I've tried Fraxel laser treatment, but I'm not sure if it helped although I only had like two treatments or was it one. Anyhow, it made my skin darker and now my stretchmarks stand out more. Do you think the device you're using will help with stretchmarks, too? Thanks.(02-12-2013, 01:22)timarie Wrote: Tinytots:
I am back to looking into a product to help heal my scars and have cancelled out the possibility of the dermaroller for the Dermapen http://dermapen.com/?gclid=CPrCyq2ikLsCFWQOOgodOzoAig , as it seems to trump the Dermaroller in so many ways. However, I am still intrigued by your Time Master and am now trying to do my research on it and am unfortunately not finding very much!!I am mostly interested in how it compares to the Dermaroller/pen (basically just how it compares to the needle) with healing scars. I remember you mentioned that you work in the industry, or something to that effect. Might you have some literature about this? I understood your explanation of it in an earlier post to this thread, but before I go and make any purchases, some literature would be helpful.
Also, where did you buy it? This is what I was able to find online: http://www.dhgate.com/product/time-master-skin-care-device-with-led-electroporation/157276060.html It looks like it is a different model from yours and I was wondering what your opinion was on it. Looking at the reviews though, honestly, I am becoming very skeptical (at least of that particular company). Here is also the one that you have http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/wholesale-time-master-body-sonic-device-body/158249606.html#st_free-5-null which also has shady reviews (all the positive ones have very little to say, and the negative are pretty descriptive...). Anyway, at least I am not buying from THEM but I am still interested in the Time Master based on your personal review.
Is there any place from which I can buy this product that is a reliable company? And what literature you have on the product will be helpful as it is hard to find.
Thanks!
Hi timarie. Sure, I can look some stuff up for you. The second picture is the one I have. However, the one I bought was sold through a rep in my industry. So I know it is of good value. But I am wondering if microdermabrasion might be a better way for you to go. When I worked for a dr they would do this tx on scars but the bad part is you have to actually make the scar bleed. I know you can get a personal unit on eBay pretty cheap. I am finding the time master is working better for plumping and penetrating products better into the skin. I use it for the penetration of pm extract in a gel. Let me call my rep and see what her opinion is on the best way to treat scars. So many options out their. Even an acid peel would help before hand. But here is the other problem. All this causes a temporary injury to the skin inducing inflammation, so you could see it get better but in the long run would make it thinner. Any type of aggressive exfoliation thins the skin causing temporary swelling and inflammation. When doing this on your face you look great, plumped up, etc but after about 2 weeks it all goes away and you will occurs more damage and thinning. I know the scars are not on your face... Just saying.
I will get back to ya this week with better information.
