Good massager but the handle is a little too short so it is kind of difficult to reach your back.

Hi! you have to fined a good spot, check the accupresure points of your problem from a chart, you can apply a little cream or wet thearea very little. it should be tight. after you are done massage the area with cream.

I went to a professional the first time and was somewhat happy with the results. I asked if she could use it on the neck and chest and she said "of course" for an additional charge. I"m buying my own. Read, Read and Read. And CLEAN the face and roller and end with a GOOD cream. Ask your druggist.

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom

I have not used that product; however, our other home medic was heavier and more powerful, and it would actually hurt when it was used on my back. This one does the massage work without the discomfort.

I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices. It helps in the morning, when I apply it to the sides and back of my heel (I have a heel spur poking into my Achilles tendon, and I'm anticipating surgery for that in January). It does seem to warm and relax those areas somewhat. But you don't use a conducting gel with it. I'm guessing that the terms for these retail devices are not applied as stringently as one would hope. I wish you good luck, if you decide to use it. From my own experience, I would say it's decent, though not outstanding, help for small areas. And it takes about 15 minutes to get an effect. So, I am an impatient person and don't always want to wait... Take care! I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices.

I don't know but my guess is "NO", (only a guess) because you would think that the serum would dilute the firming cream. My best suggestion is to ask the company which produces them. I would never dilute a firming cream since you want as much firming as possible, but again, its best to ask the company. Hope this is helpful.

NO it does not firm up, and does not claim it does...it keeps the skin supple, and helps allot with break outs.I'm over 65. After using this I wait a few mins. As this is a bit greasy, then still have to use my moisture cream, mainly around my mouth area, and jowls..

Your favorite clensing gel. I have used the Obaji NuDerm foaming gel , with my clairsonic , very successfully. I've used other liquid face soaps too.Nothing creamy tho.

Yes. But the massager doesn't really feel good. The moving parts are too close together, so it pinches more than massages. I would not buy another one like it.

It only appears tighter when you use it. So it is a temporary fix. Other than having surgery,I don't know of any creams that are long lasting.

@ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this. I too wanted to eliminate sag but this is NOT, by any means, in any way, the answer! It does NOT work....not immediately, not ever also. If you want something temporary maybe look for caffeine containing creams, or what is called "lifting" creams, which aren't that great either but certainly a whole lot better than this. Then, put the cream on with a wrap purchased from a local drugstore that is used for ankles -- the material is actually better than the Lus one for skin anyway. But honestly, it's silly of anyone to think this mask would work, and I can tell you for sure it did not on me or anyone! @ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this.

On the low setting, and perhaps using the infrared side on medium. The single massage point is very strong and works better on large muscles like hips and thighs. I find using the infrared side works OK for smaller areas. You might want to try a different massager.

Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?

I imagine you can install the massager without box springs, however, it might be really noisy! Perhaps cushioning the vibrating pods with soft pads underneath could reduce the noise??? Good luck!

Jocelyn, I can't answer your question because I sent mine back. If you haven't ordered yet, I'd advise you to look around a little more. I found the machine too hard to hold. There was wild vibration for the hand holding it, while it should be only for the massagee. Good luck! Margaret
