It does seem to tighten and smooth the skin.
What do you think so far? I think this is a totally worthwhile purchase - however it does take a certain time commitment to use to see results and it does hurt and bruise - but they heal and you are left with gradual results!
Are you happy or are you returning it? keeping it!

I am not getting the nugget - I already cringed at the price of the first one - so I will make do with what I have

Michefit and Steph how long are you working an area? Do you rub one spot 5 minutes straight?

I don't really time it, but it takes me about ten minutes for upper body and ten for middle, but 15 for lower.

Love it! I use it for both cellulite (not that there's a lot but I'm a perfectionist and what I've got bothers me) as well as for fibromyalgia pain, post workout soreness, neck & shoulder tension, etc.

I got a second one that I cut down to make it easier to use on certain areas.

I also got the nugget but have not found time to use it yet.

I highly recommend!

sophiesmom - I do not have time to work the whole body everyday - and I am still sore and bruising here and there so I still need a couple of days in between sessions. I usually aim for 5 minutes per area - I know I've got it good when I can see the blood come to the surface and it feels kind of sore/itchy. I rotate areas each day for about 20 minutes. So one day I will do the tops of my thighs and tummy - the next day the backs of the legs and calves - then the arms and inner thighs and so on...

After each session the area feels warm and relaxed...so worth the temporary discomfort.

I have really noticed a difference in the front of my thighs. It is remarkable.

Gotcha! Thank you for breaking that down. It seems doable that way.

Some on the FBook page use it on their face! (At least, they use the small ones)...but does anyone here who uses it on their face get bruising there, as well. My DD suffers from migraines and this would be great...but don't want to trade in the migraines for a bruised face.

Aurora C. · 08-15-16, 02:45 PM

I have used it & it's amazing for headaches/migraines...I have never got bruising on my face from it nor have I heard anyone in the Facebook group get face bruising - this is a common question over there. Also, I don't go so rough on my face as areas that have more padding, so maybe that's why.

I've never bruised on my face & use it nightly and go hard around my sinuses for headaches.

Aurora C and Sandra, thanks for the no bruising on the face. I will pass that along to DD.

One last question...about being "hot" first. I do not have a sauna or access to one...how do you all get hot first? Sweaty workout and hot shower then do blast? OR is there another way?
