I ordered the Dermavel for two reasons - I have a lot of sun damaged skin and also I had this seborrheic keratosis growth. Google led me to the Dermavel site and I excitedly ordered it. It arrived promptly and safely in its package.

I was concerned to use it because I have several skin issues, including psoriasis, paper thin skin, rosacea, among others. The online instructions were pretty limited and the written instruction was even more generic and not very helpful.

After getting over my initial fear, I decided to follow the best direction - start at level one and go slowly. I panicked that I had overdone it and had permanently damaged my skin. I patiently waited to heal, using the aftercare instructions of applying Aquaphor 3 to 4 times a day, not showering or using products for 48 hours, and avoiding the sun and products for at least 10 days. Now, 4 weeks later, I can say I'm satisfied with the initial results and have done a second round as other online reviewers demonstrated.

My issues with the product are 1) the instrument tends to not sustain its power and I end up poking myself with the needle waiting for it to actually burn the skin growth but instead there is no heat generated. I'm not sure if I have a defective model, but it takes me a long time to do the treatment because I constantly have to turn it on and off to maintain the tip powered up.

I plan to also use it eventually for my loose neck skin but I'm going to wait till after summer because I would…

I have a ton of freckles and sun spots. I am so glad I found this product! It feels like sand paper. I recommend using a low setting to start. I will have to go back and do some touch ups and I didn't want to remove them all at once but check out the photos! The first photo is before, the next one is immediately after the treatment and the 3rd pic is a few days later. The freckles and spots get darker, scab and then fall off or even fade lighter. It's actually fun to use! I have done my legs as well!
