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.
Torn on this. On one hand, it’s FDA approved and I am excited about what the results would be like – I bet there would be amazing and fairly quick improvements to skin.
On the other hand, it’s injecting yourself with needles, which just seems wrong and makes me uncomfortable.
I think I’d feel more confident if I was given a quick tutorial at point of sale.
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
