I’m interested in results, any recommendations?
I like the micro dermabrasion for absorption benefits. Any thoughts ?

I don't have the GP, but imo the replacement heads can get very expensive. Those should be replaced about every 3 to 4 months, just as you would a razor used for shaving...those things get dull and don't work after they get dull. My personal experience with using microneedles is to just buy the kind you throw away, not the kind where just the roller part gets replaced.

I brought up some old threads that have some good information I know they are old but thought they would help with questions some have about dermarolling.

Thanks for bringing up those posts. They were on Amazon’s dermarioller. I will check into.

I would advise to just buy a cheap one from Amazon.  I have one at home.  It's very nice and was about $10.  What I do is with a sharpie, I mark each time I use it on the case it came with, then after 15 uses, I just chuck it. I sterilze with rubbing alcohol after each use and let it air dry before putting it away.  I've always felt that this GloPro device is extraordinarily overpriced for what it really is.  I can't stand when they demo it on tv.  They must be using dummy devices because who would derma roll with a full face of makeup?????  So ridiculous.

On the 11:45 (pst) show Kerstin asked Jamie “what the “red” light was for on the GloPRO?” Jamie said “it was a LED light to indicate that the tool was on” and then Jamie said “its for other things also but we can’t discuss it here.” If I remember correctly when Jamie was first on HSN presenting the GloPRO a year ago she had stated the LED light helped with diminishing fine line and wrinkles. The Red LED light works synergistically to provide additional collagen-firming benefit and skin tone improvement. Cells exposed to LED light grow an overwhelmingly 150 to 200% faster than unstimulated cells! The wavelength is 620-625nm. Now she can’t state that on the presentations. Probably because it’s not true. Just can’t believe what Jamie says now.....😱

The red light and the vibrating part of that tool is gimmicky imo.

Well that is very interesting!  She did used to talk about the red light as being therapeutic in the past, and red light is good for anti aging and some other things. However, you would not reap the benefits with such a short exposure.  You would need at least 10 or more minutes of constant exposure and this thing doesn't stay on your face that long. I have a red light LED full face mask and when I use it, I do it for at least 15 minutes, usually longer.  If you get a session at an aesthetician's office, I think they usually give you about 30 minutes.
