I experimented in the past with using ultrasound to drive in topicals, but haven't been doing much on that front lately. I just spray reseveratrol + MAP in my face and scalp and that's about it. I was thinking about getting back to driving Hyaluronic acid in with the ultrasound though. Recently, a friend sent me this. Looks like over-priced topicals plus some kind of machine to drive them in. But some of the before/afters look pretty good. Opinions?

I can't help feeling it's one of those MLM things that always ends up being extremely marked-up (in price) items that can be found elsewhere cheaper.

Good analysis. I will say that electroporation is a known phenomenon, but it's insanely easy to fake before and after pics.

Why not just use something simple and proven, like a dermaroller?

Galvanic technology has been around for a long time in spas -- it's great for lifting and penetration of topicials. I'd say the device itself is probably okay, but you can always find cheaper +/- serums by looking around (ebay, etc.). It's a racket for the device manufacturers that's hard to resist, and people will always think they have to buy it from them. Truth be said that you could probably make it yourself with the right actives if you're so inclined.
