Hey fellow Esthies! I want to warn you about what happened to me and save you money, time, and grief. I attended a class at the local college where they were featuring the Dermatude Machine which is Meta-Therapy. The powerpoint boasted of the results being as if you could put off a facelift for 10 more years. They showed photos and claimed that the results were astounding. I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. BUT...I wanted to be sure so I booked a class with them, traveled to Orlando, which…
Hey fellow Esthies! I want to warn you about what happened to me and save you money, time, and grief. I attended a class at the local college where they were featuring the Dermatude Machine which is Meta-Therapy. The powerpoint boasted of the results being as if you could put off a facelift for 10 more years. They showed photos and claimed that the results were astounding. I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. BUT...I wanted to be sure so I booked a class with them, traveled to Orlando, which is an 8 hour drive for me, stayed in a hotel for two nights, attended two classes (which I was told at the time of the booking were "advanced" classes and were not). At the time of the first class they offered three sizes of the "needles" needed to perform the facial treatment. Well....suddenly they would not be selling the two needles needed to acheive the results they boasted. They said we would have to take the advanced class, which they said they would have in May, so I was ok with that knowing that I would be able to get these needles and perform the face treatments. I bought the machine, which they sold in a starter kit that came with enough supplies to start three clients. The kit was $3500. About a month or so ago I started calling to find out about the advanced class. WELL...there would not BE an advanced class because they didn't feel comfortable selling the smaller needles to Estheticians in the US. SO, beware before you fall for this. I have used the machine with the larger needles on two clients and myself and have not seen a difference at all...and the treatments are expensive because everything you use is a one time use only, cannot be sanitized. You cannot acheive results using the 18pt and 38pt. needles, their portfolio even shows this so don't fall for their sales pitch. At best, the skin feels a little tighter, but it doesn't last. If you attend Premiere Orlando you'll see this demonstration and she may demo the smaller needles, but she won't sell them to you.
