Hmm, not sure where to begin with the Tok Tok micro needle device that ‘delivers anti-ageing solutions directly into the skin’s deep layers.’ It’s actually FDA approved and is thinner than a human hair which should mean that treatment is pretty much pain free. Ubiomed who make Tok Tok also have an EGF serum and a Platinum serum, both of which are designed to be used with the Tok Tok.
I honestly can’t say that I think this is a bad idea – if it is as foolproof as it claims to be then you can save a fortune on not going to get a non-surgical cosmetician to do it for you even though a kit of eight syringes is £189.99. On the other hand, I just don’t quite like the thought of anyone and everyone being able to inject their own face – even with micro fine needles. Like, you probably shouldn’t do it after a sherry or two; something you wouldn’t have to worry about at a clinic (and if you do, run for the hills!).
Home beauty treatments are always going to be pushed to new boundaries – who knew, for example, we’d be lasering our own faces and hair? What do you think about this?

I couldn’t physically use it, it’s bad enough getting a needle when someone else is doing it never mind me doing it!
I think it’s a great idea but, as with everything, in the wrong hands it could be pretty disastrous. To get the ReAura you have to have an assessment with a Philips Rep first and I think something similar in place would be a good idea for this xx
This type of DIY treatment always makes me a bit nervous; either it isn’t going to be as effective as a salon treatment and still expensive, or it will have a potential for unfortunate error.
There is a part of me that thinks it would be an awesome thing to try, but I would rather have a trained professional working on my face.
I honestly find this slightly terrifying. Not just the needs, but the thought of injecting anything non-prescription (i.e. a needed medication) into my body just kind of weirds me out.
Good luck to anyone who wants to try it. Personally, I’ll leave this sort of cosmetic procedure in the hands of a qualified professional.

I’ve used a 1.5 dermaroller, without numbing cream, and it’s really less painful than tweezing or waxing. It really wasn’t painful, so this’ll be a doddle. Just avoid doing it before or during your period, as everything hurts more then!
Wow I’m a bit torn on this too… theoretically I like the idea of good results for less money, if it really produces, but in the wrong hands or if over used… :-/
even if the treatment is quite safe (at least this is what producers said) – you need to know how to treat your skin before and after to keep everything hygienic and sterilize. That’s why I prefer to pay for it in beauty salon that experiment on my own and risk any irritations or infections
