Dermaflash

Hi, any thoughts out there on this device? I have a lot of fine peach fuzz on my face. It is expensive and a lot of the reviews mention charging problems. I don't know if this has been corrected. Maybe just an old fashioned razor or emjoy?

I was going to order until I saw the reviews. But I was wondering if the bad reviews were due to misuse. The vendor seemed to stress a couple of different things that maybe people were doing. Another thing is it seems you can only use one blade and then it's no good. So if you use it once a week as they suggest, that gets expensive. Additional blades are $50.

@Rose429, I DVRed that show and watched a bit of it this morning. It looks interesting but, as @sparklestar mentioned, a 10 or 12 pack of new blades costs $50. -- They recommend that you use the Dermaflash once a week.

They've programmed the unit so that it will only recognize each blade the very first time you use it. If you try to reuse the blade, the unit won't start. -- The vendor said that the one-use programming was done to make sure that you were'nt ever using a blade that had bacteria on it.

Well maybe... but I tend to think that a good dunk in alcohol would take care of that.

Since you'd be paying $250 a year just for the replacement blades, lol, maybe they should just give your the Dermaflash for free.

And yes, I realize that in office skin resurfacing visits are expensive, but it seems like a lot of money to pay for their blades. IMO

IMO a huge waste of money. If peach fuzz is your concern, try one of those personal trimmers (available at Walmart for around $10). They do the same thing for a fraction of the price. Plus they run on a couple of AAA batteries. I've been using one for several years and wouldn't be without. And hair does not grow back thicker.

Why not just use a safety razor or a brow trimmer razor to manually remove peach fuzz and exfoliate skin at the same time. Dry shaving isn't complicated, it's easy to do. Simply clean the razor or brow trimmer razor under running water, wipe dry with a paper towel and air dry afterwards. Go to the dollar store or Winners in Canada or T.J. Maxxor Marshall's to buy the brow trimmer razors.
