		<description>I don&#039;t know why everyone is so negative in general to this product.  I read the clinicals, and they are impressive.  Surely they are not made up.  I mean making up clinicals is highly illegal, but I think they are real.  I&#039;ve seen Brent posting in many places and he seems very standup.</description>

		<description>I just purchased my Derma Wand. Have used it for two days, morning and evening, with my usual moisturizer for face and neck and my moisturizer for eyes and I am already thrilled. I noticed the difference almost immediately. It softened fine lines, both around the mouth and eyes, deep wrinkles, noticeable pores and my overall skin texture appears softer and tighter. I really am amazed and will definitely continue this daily regime. I am 57 yrs old, with an olive complexion. During the summer months my skin tans whether I like it or not. I recommend this product to anyone over 50. I really was not expecting the results that I&#039;ve already seen, especially in such a short time.</description>

		<description>It seems there is some slightly misleading info in this entry. It is conventional &quot;wisdom&quot; but not quite accurate to say that wrinkles are &quot;primarily&quot; caused by loss of skin elasticity/collagen. If such were the case, then the use of surgery or botox would have a very limited affect wrinkled, ageing skin. However, both these methods can have fantastic results and this is not in dispute. 

In fact, the dermis and epidermis have a much more complex relationship with the underlying muscular structure of the face than many people realize.  

In addition to sun-damage and loss of collagen/elastin, wrinkles are also formed by the sagging of this underlying muscular structure in the ageing face. This sagging pulls the overlying skin into furrows, or bunches or &quot;puddles&quot;, which descend over time, pulling the centre aspect of the face down and into itself, and the jawline down into the neck. Eventually this culminates in furrows, wrinkles, jowls and NL lines. Gravity and lack of muscle tone is the culprit. The facial skin does not hold the muscles in place, the muscles hold the facial skin in place. This is also not in dispute, it is a fact which can be demonstrated to anyone&#039;s satisfation with the minimum of research. If that were not the case, then no amount of facial exercise/muscular fibre stimulation would ever reduce or even erase wrinkles, but it does and sometimes with equally fantastic results as can be seen with surgical/chemical intervention.  

These methods work by different mechanisms but that they DO work is not in dispute. However dermatologists don&#039;t like to lose money hence you will not find many of them pushing facial exercises or gadgets unless they can get a cut of the action LOL!  

I read their website and this Safetox gadget, as silly as it looks, claims to do something similar to botox via electronic means rather than chemical. They further claim that this aids in engaging dormant, atrophied  antagonistic muscles (primarily the occipitalis, which many people. especially women, lose voluntary control over as they age - try to wiggle your ears - if you can, then you have some control of the occipitalis) in the back of the head. When toned and tightened the occipitalis pulls back on the frontalis muscle which helps to create a natural lift to the scalp and thus, forehead and brow. This plus induced paralysis in the frontalis results in reduced wrinkles and furrows and a more youthful, open, relaxed look. As with any attempt to &quot;turn back the clock&quot; as they say, realistic expectations are paramount in order to avoid disappoinment. A 40 year old will have better, faster results with any chosen method than a 60 year old.

I personally have not tried this product and thus make no personal claims about its efficacy; I am merely here to point out that their claim appears totally valid from an anatomical viewpoint. 

More info can be found at the Safetox website and current (and some excellent) reviews of the product can be found at the forum at essentialdailyspa.com. The muscular structure of the skull and its effect on facial skin of course can be researched and studied if one wishes.

Thank you for your time.</description>
