Beauty Mouse
Posted: Monday 15 March 2010 03:27pm
What is it: A beauty gadget that looks like a computer mouse, Beauty Mouse is embedded with 480 ultra-fine micro needles, with a rolling width of 50mm, meaning you can cover larger body areas quite quickly. The device is designed to be rolled over cellulite-prone areas, helping to stimulate microcirculation and to deliver active substances into deeper layers of the skin.
Who’s it for: Anyone who suffers from cellulite and lack of body firmness.
Claims: Firmer skin in four weeks.
What’s involved: After showering, on clean skin, apply the Dermaquest Dermafirm anti-cellulite cream, $150, to cellulite prone areas. Then roll the Beauty Mouse over the required areas. As the needles are 0.2mm in depth, the process of penetrating the top layer of the skin, creating micro-channels to allow substances to gain deeper access in the skin, is painless.
Downtime: None
Risks and side effects: “Due to the large amount of needles involved, we advise that people use the device only once a day,” says Sean Abel, of Clinic Care.
Preparations: Perform on clean, dry skin.
Treatments required: Use daily for as long as required.
Complications: None
Optimal results: Said to achieve firmer skin in four weeks. “You’ll definitely see a reduction in lumps and bumps and significantly smoother skin,” says Sean.
Ballpark cost: Beauty Mouse is $285. As continued used will lead to the needles getting blunt, aim to replace your Beauty Mouse every summer. If using year-round, replace every six months. Dermaquest DermaFirm, $150. Available at selected beauty and cosmetic clinics or call Clinic Care on 1300 799 709.
