| Where does one find a used Beautiful Image machine? The only place I could think of is Ebay, I did a search but didn't find any. |

I purchased mine on ebay. They have ranged in price over the past 3 months from $2,700 - $3,100.
I looked at used spa supplies on other websites, but they all wanted $3,500 - $4,500. The owner Ray Baker may sell you a demo but it would be in the $3,500 + range. |

| Thank you Regina, I bought NuFace Trinity but haven't been able to use it yet. Right after it arrived I fell and fractured my right shoulder. I had surgery a week ago, now I'm going thru physical therapy. My daughter might be interested in this Beautiful Image, I'll sent her the link/ |

Well I finally broke down and bought one of these. I should get it next week. I am going to try to go down to Austin to get a lesson from Christine but I'm sure I will have some questions and need help. Thanks for everyone's reviews. I'm really looking forward to using this machine.  |

I am on my eight session with the caci machine and only see my eyebrows a little higher. People think my face looks smaller.I stopped the amino peptide because my face looks very dry, no wow factor yet, is this ok. Any help is welcome. I have the course from Barbara, so i think i am doing it wright but not sure.

Micro-current is not a facelift but it can produce results of lift, tone, and skin rejuvenation. I am proof and so are the group of friends I do treatments on. It isn't an overnight fix but over time it is a definite improvement and I continue to be pleased with on going results.  |

| I do think you can get results, I was just so surprised to see ALL of the drs dissing it, there were a lot of them on real self. I geuss it may cut into their business. I think microcurrent might be good for those of us who arent too "hagged out" yet, but if you have a lot of loose skin, surgery may be the best option.;unless you are okay to go from looking like a" wrinkled old hag" to a "not so wrinkled" old hag. I would rather have microcurrent over thermage.I read about lots of unhappy clients from thermage who had their fat melted from their face but there are few unhappy microcurrent clients;the worst being they saw minimal to no results which is preferable to having a damaged melted face. |

I do think if the sag is severe then someone may not be satisfied with less than surgery. Thankfully most of us can avoid surgery by dealing with the issues before they get too advanced. After taking a couple of microcurrent classes I am convinced that microcurrent is ideal to be started in your 30's...wouldn't have thought that until my coursework but now I am preaching it to my daughter-in-laws that are in their early 30's! I didn't start until 56 but I have greatly benefited and my best friend is 63 and started her treatments last year and her results are as good as someone in their 40's....never too late to start! |

Hi, I have done 5 treatments with my new Beautiful Image machine and thought I would share my initial thoughts.
The machine seems well made (should be for the price) and it is easy to switch between the different intensities. There is a dial that let's you change the amount of time between the different lifts and holds. This is nice to have while you are still learning all moves. It allows you extra time to move the wands to the new area.
There is a little chime that goes off when your done with each position. There is also a dial that adjust from 10 to 30 seconds depending on how long you want to spend on each position. The machine is pretty big and is not something you are going to take on a trip with you unless you don't plan on bringing any clothes in your suitcase.
The instructions, both book and DVD are good. I would have liked to have more pictures of the different moves in the book. Just so I wouldn't have to view the DVD each time but either way there is enough directions to get you going.
I do think the learning curve with this gadget is pretty high. The moves themselves are not hard. It's just a lot of things to learn and this is just with the basics. I do think I will be continuing to learn new moves for quite some time. Either through YouTube or private instructions. I knew this going into and would not have spent the money on this machine if that was not my intent. Just want others to know this is not something (in my opinion) that you just pick up and 5 minutes later your a pro.
As far as results are concerned. I think I have some lift in my cheek area. I am not sure if the cheeks area is actually lifted or just the area underneath (the hollows) look more sculpted. I also notice my eyebrow are higher but this last only till the next day. I haven't seen any change in my under eye area other then some decrease in under eye bag and my jowls are the same. 
I don't like the feel of the Beautiful Image gel and I have a couple of acne break outs in my jaw area and upper cheekbone area where the wands are held. I have bought another gel from a different company and have used it also so I'm not sure which one is causing the breakouts.
That's it for now. Overall nothing earth shattering. I think it will take me longer to see results when using this machine at home vs going to a salon. Simply because it will take me awhile to get proficient at this technology vs a trained person. But since I own it I can take my time and I don't have to go someplace for treatments and this is a real plus. |

I got mine off ebay. The training DVD and book came with it. You can contact the company and try to get a demo machine or just keep an eye out on ebay. |

| Hi Lucyluc, if your asking me about whether the price will go down I really have no idea. Beautiful Image has been around a while. So it's not like the machine is a new launch product. If I had to guess I would say no. |
