No, not daily. Twice weekly for 8 weeks with ReAura. It's the Tria that requires daily treatment.

You can check yourself with a currency converter like this one:

If I were you I would buy the TRIA - less expensive, available in Canada and according to PQ (who owns and tried both), it gives the same results. Smile

I've read that you have to use it daily. I don't mind, but hard to fit in my routine.

That's true but it's only 4 Minutes if you use level 2 and 10 Minutes if you use level 3 (that is for the face; don't know if you wish to treat other areas). In my humble opinion, that's not hard to fit in. But it is of course up to you. Smile

I have the tria and amazingly am able to fit it into a daily treatment just before I go to bed. I am on level 3 and I love it! As PQ said in his review both do what they say on the tin!

I chose the tria partly because of what PQ had said but also as I have mixed race skin and spoke to the tria people specifically about whether I could use it. They said I could.So that was it!
Now I remember very early on the phillips website it said something about being careful if you had dark skin ,it has since gone from the website( could be wrong there,but recently I couldnt find it) I should think they were being extra careful!

I have had no problems with the trio ,and will continue with it

I do like to rotate and it all depends on my skin, but I use lactic acid peels, the real microdermabrasion (machine) and if I get Tria, how do I do that daily without over irritating my skin?

I also use prescribed retin-a.

If you go to PQs beauty blog he has a chart with all the devices you can use together, or layer it.

As far as I am using it (Tria) I use a very mild exfoliating cream ( skin bios lacsal/exfol cream)
I also use once a week my PMD.

With the tria I have had some real flaking so Ive found the cream to be useful, or even just gentle rubbing with a rough face cloth.

But do check out PQs blog he has it all down to a "T"

Are you sure all this would not be too much also while using the Reaura?

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've been using mine for just about a year now. I did the 8weeks of treatments last spring and have been doing one treatment a month for maintenance though I didn't do any over the summer cause of the sun. I love it and it's really improved my skin drastically. I wonder if you had a faulty machine?

I know this post is a bit old now but I have a question about the reaura. I have been using for around 12 months and like the product. However, I do keep an eye out for and new news. I have noticed it is no longer available for sale either through philips or space nk, I bought mine from boots but they no longer stock it either. Does anybody know why this is? Don't want to be using it if a problem has been identified but can't find anything on this at all.
Thank you

It is still being advertised by Philips on their website and is available on line at Space NK.

I'm still using mine and am very satisfied with it.

Hi, thanks for your response. Space NK are still showing the link but when you follow the links you can't actually buy it. Been in touch with Philips who say they have discontinued it but likely to be a newer model in the new year. I'm reassured that there are no problems with it so thanks for responding, I appreciate it

That's very interesting - I wonder what improvements they will make.

I bought one 3 weeks ago from John Lewis (they have a few units left in a couple of stores) after my Tria stopped working.
Philips told me that there wasn't enough interest in it so they stopped production but never mentioned any new release.
Glad I snapped up one of the few remaining as it's a whole lot better than my Tria ever was!
