'Skin Physics' Ultrasound Cavitation Review

Figured I should do a review on this product.
I bought this product a few months ago (Ultrasonic Massager Sculpting Liposculpt Skin Physics)
 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultrasonic-MASSAGER-Sculpting-Liposculpt-Skin-Physics?item=320744332758&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7422622869147067328
Of course, it was only $30 dollars then, so it seems they were simply trying to build up good rep before trying to sell the product at high prices. (All the way up to $500!)
First off, it has an extremely flimsy handle. The crease where the handle is put together constantly creaks when any pressure is applied, which means the connection between the handle and the head is also very flimsy and questionable
The electrical cord is also very fragile and will just spontaneously fall out of the socket where it plugs into the product. Pretty much worthless. Instructions has some pretty funny Engrish.
Now onto the cavitation head itself. Only a very small area on it (About the size of a dime) actually does the proper cavitation effect, so that's pretty much worthless as well. No ultrasound waves (when using ultrasound gel and without) seem to penetrate the body.
So what are the claims of the product?
The distributor, nestcf2009, claims that this product:
  1. Accelerate blood circulation and metabolism
  2. Enhance the permeability of cell membrane
  3. Whiten the black spots, freckles and aged marks
  4. Firm the skin texture, anti-wrinkle and fat reducing
  5. Reduce harmful bacteria and eliminate pimple
  6. Deep clean and moisturize
  7. Eliminate double chins;
  8. Deep clean and moisturize
  9. Fits the waist,legs chest and arms,
  10. Tighten buttocks and firm breasts.
So let's go over which of these claims are actually true.

1. So does it increase blood circulation or metabolism? No, I've seen no increase in blood flow let alone metabolism.
2. As for enhancing the permeability of a cell membrane, I can't vouch either way.
3. It has had no effect on darker spots on my skin, freckles, or age spots on me or anyone else who has tried it.
4. Skin is no firmer, no less wrinkles, and no 'fat reducing'
5. Hasn't had any effects on any pimples.
6. Doesn't clean or moisturize any better than simply putting lotion or a cleanser on by itself.
7. Has no effect on double chins.
8. ...Repeat of 'Deep clean and moisturize'
9. Hello Engrish! It doesn't work on any of these areas mentioned.
10. No tightening or firming.

Now, this is a completely honest review. I have bought the product myself and have tried it for months.
I hope this helps anyone who was on the fence about this product.

Whiskers!

Chinchillas have incredibly long whiskers, longer than dogs or cats! When they're curious about something, they often press their whiskers forward towards whatever they're curious about, it's absolutely adorable! (You can see it in the last two pictures. So here's more images of Tribble!

Tribble's Boop-able Nose

Tribble, my pet chinchilla, has virtually taken over my life. Sweet, cute, and terribly possessive (She will attack the dogs if they're getting more attention than her, which is why I try to keep her away from them) it's no wonder she's won over everyone she's met. Chinchillas are extremely sweet pets, but definitely not for younger children! Here is her and her cute-closeup glory, her nose is so cute and as soft as velvet! (Taken with Droid X)
