I am an expert in skin exfoliation and as I read this, it looks like Deonna is out to make some money. Professional strength microdermabrasion treatment would not even effect the skin that way unless they were used improperly. If in fact, nubrilliance treatments did cause her skin to look this way, it would be because Deonna was using Acutane or another drug that can cause sensitivity to the skin; or more likely, she used it on an existing cystic acne breakout. Microdermabrasion is great for mild acne...not for cystic acne. By the pattern of the lesions or scars (common areas for cystic ance breakouts), it looks like she use the machine to take off the top layer, opening up the lesions causing scarring and spreading the bacteria. I am sure this company does not recommend using their machine on cystic acne or when using drugs (prescription or street) that effective skin sensitivity. If Deonna is trying to get money out of this company, I hope she loses. She is not being honest.

I think Deonna is very brave for coming forward, although she spread the infection because of poor hygiene knowledge. Infections do not just pop up out of no were if you cleans the tips and your face, but if you have an existing infection or do not clean them your inviting the bacteria onto your face. For people who don't know this, NuBrillance should put some sort of info packet. Reusing anything you put on your face with out washing it with antibacterial soap can spread existing infections. Kind of the same premise of how you do not share eyeliner. This is obviously more serious with NuBrillance because it is abrasive on the skin's surface where bacteria love to congregate. It is not up to NuBrillance to inform you of this but they should let people know, just as a back up.
I wash those tips with Dial antibacterial soap, scrub them, then let them air dry-after every use, then I put rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip and swab the tips before I use them. I do this with my make-up brushes as well. Bacteria love to reproduce and human are the perfect bed.

I never believe anything I see on a late-night informercial, no matter how favorable the product sounds. All those people are interested in is in getting your credit card number. The NuBrilliance informercial looks and sounds like the scam that it is. What it promises cannot possibly be accomplished with its cheap-looking product. Instead, a person with facial discoloration or wrinkes needs expensive treatment to get noticable results. I noticed that a number of models on the informercial are too young to even be showing signs of aging around their eyes, yet, they are seen using the product to "get rid" of crow's feet. Yeah, riiiight. That reminds me of women's girdle ads that are modeled by women who don't need a girdle.
I am deeply sorry for anyone who was taken in by NuBrilliance's deceptive infomercial. In the future, if you MUST buy something from a TV ad, DON'T expect to hear negative testimonials about the product because you'll never get it. Instead, do some online research on that product while your credit card is still in your wallet. You may find that others were suckered into buying merchandise that did not work as advertised. That might save you a lot of physical pain as well as emotional anguish from trying to return the product and getting your money back, which a lot of those TV advertisers are unwilling to do.
Take care, all of you.

Just so you'll know, pal, a number of infomercials like the one I commented on are targeted at both men AND women. Next time, think first before you post.

I am just utterly shocked at the photos. It truly is & should something they are held accountable for. I once bought a box of hair color at my local drug store. It was to be blonde, same I always used. I put it on & noticed a different tinge to the color creme-but didn't second guess it covered my hair & when I rinsed knew something was badly wrong. My hair ended up an eggplant purple. Somehow the color tube inside was the wrong color than stated on the box (a red was inside) & it ruined my hair-o went straight to my local beauty shop she had to use three applications to try & gently lighten it, but it had fried my hair..so i had no choice but to have 9 inches taken off. I called & called customer service. To no avail-I googled president/vice president & the company name. I finally got in touch with someone important. They had me send them all my photos & in return I received a check for $400 to cover the costs of salon & for the future appt since my hair was not it's original color still! I also received 2 cases of the brands shampoo & best conditioners to help restore my hair. I considered this to be an attempt at reconciling my terrible ordeal. You should seek further assistance their has got to be information & phone numbers to "a higher up" somewhere online.
Goodluck & thankyou for your time posting the pics & your experience.

Just purchased this recently and so far I love it! Using it daily - actually. So far very much worth it. I recognize it won't perform miracles - but so far I feel like it's worth the money and the effort. Will give it a couple more weeks before making my decision. But so far I'm glad I made the investment.

What are the differences you notice that make it worth the cost?

The two doctors who created Proactiv have formulated a brand new product line targeting signs of Anti Aging, sun damage, sensitive skin and acne. If you try any of these products, you will be overjoyed. They work! 60 money back guarantee. You know if it didn't work, Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields would not put their names on it. I would be happy to discuss these products with you...these are sold through consultants...like me.

I'm just trying to help her and anyone else that's been taken by this NuBrilliance company. You can look over my post if you don't approve. ...that's ok. Since most of us are professional on here, I'll refrain from my response you deserve. Good day.

Unfortunately, the " sales staff " of most all infomercial's don't have anything to do with the company for which one is ordering from. These people are usually set up in a random call center. I'm sure if you speak to an actual rep from NUbriiance, you'll be reimbursed in some way.
I've been looking for reviews on this product, (as I've learned the hard way, to check before I buy) This is the only bad review I've seen. I also believe there is a tiny comment in the bottom right hand corner, during the commercial that reads to the effect. " results may very" Please, don't quote me as I could have misread it. Most of the model's are in fact at least in their late 40's and early 50's, aimed at the person who said otherwise. Oh, I too would like to see new pictures of the original poster, to see how your skin has improved. I know people are quick to sue in our beautiful country, but I would most defanetly, for reinbursment had this happened to me and I had fallowed the directions properly. Why wouldn't you, you should not be responsible for your medical bills. Just my two cents.

Scammed in Tifton, GA

Thank you so much for posting your story. I am so very sorry about the damage the unit did to your face. I hope you have been able to be reimbursed by this fraudulent company for your medical bills.
I thought I was buying this product from Nu Brilliance. It wasn't until my credit card was suspended that I realized the whole thing is a SCAM. My card was charged for the unit by Nu Brilliance, then immediately charged again by Wellquest International, Inc. for the same product, same amount.
After speaking with the operators at the call center (deceptively labeled "customer service"), I learned that it is their practice to charge your credit card twice. According to the "supervisor" I spoke with, the two companies are not related. After the transaction is completed, the first charge is "supposed" to be credited back on to your account.
There are no clear answers. A Lot of double talk and reading from their script of "answers".
I had to have the card cancelled and a new card issued.

I'm very angry - I purchased a NuBrilliance in May 2011 and didn't use it very much because of illness. The suction quit working so I called them and they said send it back and we will either fix it or send you a new one. I paid extra to send it - I insured it and paid extra for them to sign that they received it. They had it several weeks so I called them and they apologized and said they would get a new one out to me but I had to call to get it. I got it within a week and within 5 days of having it I used it for the first time and before I finished with only my face the suction quit working again. I called them today and they said they would give me a $50 discount for the shipping fees but gave me the last 4 digits of the credit card and I find out after hanging up it wasn't even my CC. They want me to return this one again - they say that since I have had it for almost a year they will not refund my money even though two machines in a row both lost suction in a very short period of time. I've been ill but that doesn't count6 for anything. I have the machine boxed up in the same boxes it arrived to me in and ready to be shipped back tomorrow. I am going to all sites and placing my complaints and problems for others to see so they look better than I did and find a better machine to spend all their money on. I am also opening up a complaint with the BBB on them and I suggest everyone that has had trouble like me do the same thing. They need to fix these machines because the suction should last longer than one use. The first one lasted only 5 uses. Not a good record. Don't get sick cause if you are unable to use it then you can't prove it didn't work soon enough to get a complete refund.

so glad i read this as i have been thinking about buying the unit. i'm going back to this company called DHC, and will try their products made with olive oil. a friend suggested it and another person on this thread did, too. hope you're okay deanna; i have sensitive skin and can only imagine how horrible you felt, and ripped off. the comments here who say they love it, well, good! but the company, companies, have bad records and deceptive ads and i'm glad i googled 'complaints' before ordering! bless you on this valentine's day and i wish we could age gracefully instead of hurting ourselves to look younger!

With ANY product, there will always be those who are effected badly ~no matter how great the product is! Everyone is different and our bodies tolerate things differently. It should always be assumed that "something" is not going to work for everyone! Also with a product like this, there will always be those who misuse the product (I am not saying it is or is not the case here). I think it is very very important to still to the FACTS rather than make blanket statements like "this product doesn't work!" By sticking to the facts when evaluating ANY product (or service) all consumers can get a better idea as to whether a product is right for them or not... There are always a few who do experience very adverse side effects from using or taking a product ~ while the majority may have super great results! Our bodies, while made up the same, are very different. Make sure to always follow directions and USE common sense!! (I am a member of an online review group -we are really consumers who write reviews on various items and services -I am NOT affiliated with, nor have I yet tried this product (but I'm considering it.)) Best of luck to all~
