With all of the anti-aging creams and lotions available on the market today, Derma Wand sets itself apart by offering an electronic device. Derma Wand claims to be a scaled down version of the specialized technology used in dermatologist and skincare offices around the world. Derma Wand emits a “stream of impulses stimulating at 114,000 cycles per second”. This is supposed to lift a wrinkled complexion and get rid of fine lines around your eyes.
The official Derma Wand website claims that you can get long-term tightening benefits for your skin and you will immediately have a tightened and lifted look to your complexion after making use of their product. For wrinkles, the Derma Wand uses something called “Thermal energy” that is supposed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles anywhere on your face, as well as reduce the size of enlarged pores. This will theoretically give users an over-all healthier skin tone. Derma Wand also claims to emit “purified enriched oxygen”.
Product Details
Derma Wand doesn’t have any ingredients worth listing on this site as it is an electronic device. The official website does offer a 30-day free trial with a money back guarantee which is nice. The 30-day free trial comes with a Derma Wand, carrying case, DVD, booklet, 2 oz DermaVital Pre-Face Treatment, 2 oz DermaVital Hydra Infusion Treatment, and a 4 oz Hydrating Skin Mist.
Unfortunately, we could find no ingredients listed for these additional products, even though they seem to be an integral part of the Derma Wand skin care regimen. If you decide you like Derma Wand once your 30-day free trial expires, you make four payments of $29.95 plus $14.95 shipping. This puts the total cost of Derma Wand with its accompanying products at around $140.00, plus the cost of restocking the regimen supplements.
Many people will see Derma Wand and assume it is a gadget that zaps them with electricity and light, and that is fairly close to what it actually does. The Derma Wand uses mild electrical stimulation and you can control how strong it is with a dial.
The Good
- 30-day free trial and money back guarantee.
- A fairly reasonable price for a product that lasts a long time.
- Can order directly from the official website.
The Bad
- Zapping your face with electrical impulses is not for everyone.
- No ingredients given for the accompanying products.
- Needs to be used with other anti-aging products to be effective.
The Bottom Line
If you enjoy gadgets, this might be a cool product to have around. The problem we have with the Derma Wand is the products you have to use with it. We would definitely like to know more about these products before committing to the Derma Wand skin care regimen.
I bought my derma wand years ago but still haven’t tried it. I’d like to start using it but I don’t know if i can use it by itself or should be used with other facial lotion? Will it burn my skin? Please advise, thanks.

I got my Derma Wand about 3 years ago and I really like it. I wash my face and use my own cream and lotions. I use on my chest, neck, face and back of my hands.
I use it daily and it firms my skin and gives it a nice glow.

Thanks Bronte. Is it normal to feel some sort of tingling/zapping when using it?

I did try it and felt good and tingly, BUT moisterizer must be used too. It worked but has a drying effect on skin. Anything that brings blood to the skin is good, creams simply don’t do that , unless it is Alpha Hydroxy.

Yes, I put it up to 10 for everything but eyes.
For the eyes, I started with 1, which I think, according to the instructions, is as high as you should go on eyes. But I have bumped it up to 3.
If 10 is to high and the tingling bothers you just turn it down, til you get use to it.
Good luck

ive had a derma wand for a few years now & i would rate it 10/10. yes, you have to keep up with it about once a day is how i was using it then maybe every couple of days once youve achieved the result your looking for, wrinkles are noticeably improved, skin texture,tone & firmness noticed, results usually within a month if kept up with, would def buy another.

Mrs. Jayne white. Please let me know how long one session of derma wand is taking. I’m also pleased with it, but it’s a bit too time consuming. Maybe I’m not using it properly.
Thank you, simona

I’ve had the dermawand for only 2 weeks now and have been using it every other day. My deep wrinkles on my forehead are almost gone, my skin is tight and my face has a nice glow to it. I actually look a lot younger. I love this device and would recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants to look younger!!!

Most deffently! My mother uses my derma wand an its done amazing work on her. She looks like she’s had a face lift n her tone is amazing! Just read the directions well.make sure ur face is well lubricated,stay on the boney areas n start off on low settings and adjust as u get accustomed to it…NEVER start off on mid or high ranges unless ur skin is leather n doesn’t feel anything at all!

First, there is no fountain of youth. Second, peeling off layers of skin (even by a trained professional) not only hurts for days but it’s crazy, sloughing off dead skin cells is one thing but a chemical peel is a “chemical” that burns your skin off. There’s Botox, which is injected into your body AND bloodstream (but anything with “tox” in the name makes me think of toxic). I have not seen ONE botox infected (I used that word on purpose) person that looks right. And then there’s plastic surgery which, lets face it, makes you look well “plastic”. Both of these make you look completely different. And in my opinion not in a positive way from results I’ve seen. And there is no going back!! You can have breast implants taken back out but if they cut too much skin off your face… oh well, how do they get the botox back out? Some kind of suction tool? I just want to look like me, just not a “rode hard and put up wet” me AND I have to live on a fixed income so payment plans are a nice plus. I don’t have money for skin therapy from a dermatologist, must less a plastic surgeon. Third, my neice’s dermatologist uses a high frequency wand (similar to the Dermawand) in her office and she charges a lot of money to do it and she offers this service because it benefits the skin (increases blood flow & oxygen and decreases bacteria & infection)–the doctor’s words, not mine. And she is a skin “doctor”.
Anyway, I did a little Dermawand test today and here are my results: I used my wand for 15 minutes on setting 3 and then spent a few additional minutes on the wrinkle prone areas (as in the Dermawand DVD) while sitting around watching TV. The Dermawand Kit comes with a dvd that shows the steps and after watching it a couple of times you go through the steps without even thinking about them. The kit contains a Pre-Face Conditioner, a water based spritzer, a Hydro Infusion Lotion and a Hydro Support cream. The products are not a necessity. In my opinion, it’s the Dermawand that’s the key here, I didn’t love the products. You can use your current skin creams, etc.
Anyway, here’s what I saw in the mirror afterwards:
My pores are smaller, my skin is firmer and extremely radiant. Also, my wrinkles have decreased “JUST USING IT TODAY”. So what if it’s temporary? But with continued use….who knows? I don’t buy anything without reading the reviews, by the way… some customer’s are saying it works the longer you keep it up and I’ve researched many websites that offer reviews (not in any relation to the Dermawand brand). Also, some people have had some pretty bad skin conditions that went away or got better due to the use of the Dermawand (remember the decrease in bacteria/infection I mentioned previously). I can only tell you about me though…I am 45 and I look ten years younger. My sister is 36 and everyone thinks I’m the baby sis. Look, it takes effort to be healthy so I might as well put a little effort into my skin as well. I use an online skin care kit (Reclaim – which is fantastic-I noticed a big difference in my skin when I started using this as well and I did NOT purchase this kit because Victoria Principal looks young…she’s a botox patient – we are not stupid people! I chose Reclaim based on the reviews from several different websites. I have used Natural Advantage endorsed by Jane Seymore (atleast she doesn’t look botox infected) in the past but I kept breaking out. Meaningful Beauty by Cindy Crawford uses a lot of AHA acids which reviews reported burning and stinging as side effects. AHA acids are important in an Anti Aging Skin Care System but the burning and stinging issue came up too often for me in those reviews. If you don’t have a skin care system, it really is important. My advice is this – know what’s out there, know your budget and read the reviews. There are test kits/trials (almost always under $40 and mine have lasted a lot longer than 30 days- Being a club member is optional!! After you receive your kit, call customer service and tell them when and “if” you want more of the product. It is not mandatory to receive a kit every 90 days. You must communicate with customer service though. Just remember, most of the skin care kits last a really long time. A lot longer than 90 days and some of the products I have used lasted almost a year. You don’t have to use a hand full of the cleanser. A dime size dollop is too much. I wet my face AND hands, squeeze out a small dollop on my fingertip, rub my fingers together & then all over my face and it takes every bit of my make up off. Follow the directions, just remember you don’t have to use as much product as they do in the video. Skin care doesn’t have to be a financial burden. The larger kits or what they call 90 day kits usually have the 3 divided payments and last longer. So check out the reviews for anti aging skin care systems and then let it be your birthday, anniversary or Christmas gift. I’m rambling again. The only reason I even mentioned a skin care kit is because the Dermawand glydes better if I use a cream instead of a lotion or the Pre Face that comes with the wand. But for heaven’s sake, use what comes in your Dermawand Kit until it’s gone, I did. No since in wasting it. Then invest in a skin care kit. I also keep the Dermawand light clean (alchohol on a cotton swab). I use a surge protector too. I’ve heard some people have had problems with their wands but I haven’t so I don’t know if this helps or not but I paid almost $140 for my Dermawand kit, I might as well take care of it. Money doesn’t grow on trees (:
If by some chance “you” don’t see results…the only thing I can think of is, you need to use the wand longer, maybe 20 minutes atleast and daily if possible. Some use it twice a day which I haven’t been able to do yet. Oh, and not at a high setting when you start out. Work up to the higher settings. I hope you have good luck as well. Be sure to read all the documentation about the refund policy on any kit you purchase. I have had great luck with kits in the past but I communicated with the company by phone. I would also advise placing an order by phone. Just in case you have questions. Be aware…you must contact customer service for an authorization number before you return most any kit you purchase including the Dermawand Kit. In my experience everyone does this now a days. It’s not that hard though. Best Wishes!! Carla

Ok,yes its good for pigmentation and slightly for freckles. I use my derma wand only once a week,at first once every other day,but now once a week just as a precautionary method I guess plus I love the results. I had sun damage pretty bad with freckles. Its lightened the freckles and my sun damage (I live in the south) is all but gone. I’m 43 and get accused often that I’m in my late 20s or early 30s…no one believes my age,lol…however,that’s largly due to my dna,but…I’ve noticed a huge differnce since I started using it just 6 months ago. Its taken a good 5 yrs off n I just wanted it for better toning as once I hit 40s,I started noticing my age creeping up fast,plus I’m a smoker since 17 n I’m in the sun n I NEVER use soap or lotions/creams etc on my face,it strips your natural oils,just use hot water n pat dry. However,when using derma wand,u haveta use a lotion or gel as a conductor,so once a week for a gel for the derma wand isn’t bad. Careful around the eyes,stay on the bone! Do NOT go over setting 1. Do not over use it.

I love the dermawand. I am 17 years old but I have wrinkles and dull, uneven skin. I just love it. My skin is less dull and subtly lifted the day after I used it. It takes me about 10-15 minutes. I apply my face cream first so my dermawand just slides effortlessly on my face. I use it at setting #5-6 normally and #1-2 around my eyes.
[Reply]
i use my dermawand twice a day with cocoanut oil on about setting 5-6. i’m 57 and it works for me. i like how it deals with my neck area and the hereditary lines around my mouth and between my eyebrows. just take care of it and it’ll take care of you.

Morgan, when you say neck area does this include the ‘jowls’? I hate that word and the way my lower face looks if I look down the least bit. In august I had Radiesse and that helped so much and ‘they’ are still there. I don’t think it is going to last a year for me and I spent the savings I had ‘to try Something’. I’m 61 and everyone thinks I’m 40 something-lol, as long as I keep my head up. So I’m wanting a device to tighten etc that area mainly. Of course I would use it over my face, I have the ll’s between my eyes(family trait I guess)I think it’s because we are Thinkers hah hah. I have reseached for a year. the more I read the more confused I get. its like whatever people bought, they love it.I decided to concentrate on the area that Ages me and that the Dang Jowls. Thanks for your time Morgan and anyone else’s input.

I have used Dermawand since 2007. I live in San Diego and we had some VERY frightening wildfires here, which caused evactuations and my parents came to stay with me for about 4-5 days. I had just started using my Dermawand and I could not believe how relaxing it was during this trying time. The results on my face were very noticeable, it helps heal acne and helps my skin to absorb both serums and lotions. I have broken 2 and the customer service is fantastic, they have replaced mine (for a small fee) and I cannot live without my Dermawand (or Facemaster).

I was given my Dermawand some time ago, and when I went to use it could not find the instructions, that were in printed form. Can you please send me the instructions again please. Thank You

I have a dermawand and have been using it. I accidentally had the dial up to high and did around my eyes. They are now red swollen and itching. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar and if it goes away?

Their “we will pay for shipping to send it back if you are not completly satisfied” is not true. And even after I paid and sent it back WITH the RMA # they gave me,they are stating they “never got it”.. this company is a scam!!

Enriched oxygen? Are they NUTS! There is no such thing its written as O3 and it is called OZONE.
Most people can detect about 0.01 μmol/mol of ozone in air where it has a very specific sharp odor somewhat resembling chlorine bleach. Exposure of 0.1 to 1 μmol/mol produces headaches, burning eyes, and irritation to the respiratory passages.[8] Even low concentrations of ozone in air are very destructive to organic materials such as latex, plastics, and lung tissue.

I have had skin cancer and still do have pre-cancer cells removed twice a year on my face. Is it safe for me to use the Derma Wand?
