I ordered a NuBrilliance microdermabrasion (home use) unit from their online site recently. It describes the unit as: it deminishes fine lines, discolorations, give skin a young healthy glow and smoother skin. Came with two diamond heads to use (fine diamond head for face & neck) and regular diamond head for arms, legs etc..)
I ordered this unit on a trial offer for 30 days. I received the unit this past week, read the instructions (followed them carefully) the first use, my skin was red (longer than the "minutes" it spoke of and a bit tender, there was some flaking of the skin, but I applied the two creams sent with the unit and it helped with the flaking and figured that was part of it. I waited (as recommended in the instructions) a few days and used the unit for the second time. This is when my skin became very red and irritated. Again after this I applied the creams and realized my skin was raw in many places and the creams only made it worse instead of relieving the discomfort. My face felt as though it were on fire, with pins sticking me all night. I tried to rinse off the cream for relief with just plain water and this burned even further. Upon getting up the next morning (after a painful night) my face looked as though it went through a briar patch. I am horrified! I am attaching the photos of the next morning after the second use the night before.
There are ONLY positive testimonials on their site, NOTHING on their site or in the papers they sent prepared me for this outcome. I will not go outside of my home nor answer my door until my face heals (if it will) and the pain still exist but today I can put ointment on (with discomfort) but I am worried about infection (if I do not) and of course, permanent scarring. This product is not for everyone and unfortunately they do not include that others have had very bad outcomes from the use. I feel very disfigured for someone who only wanted the deminished lines and smooth youthful skin the product claims to give you. I feel like a monster and can only hide out in my home until my face heals (and I pray that is the case) Can you help? I have since found online many complaints that are like mine, with damage to face from use of this product. I wish I had thought of that before trying this product, but trusted the website which claimed Dr. approved and safe.

Sincerely,

Deonna Hampton
