Will I get a hickey from these? I have an area that is on my neck and I don't want to get a round bruise. Has anyone had experience with this?

Yes, the point of these guys is to bring blood to the area so getting a 'hickey' is inevitable. However, if you continuously move the cup around the neck area say with oil or lotion it will not be a round bruise. Hope this helps!

I've found you can make a red mark with these, if you leave the cup in one place for a while. For a massage effect that doesn't leave a mark, I use oil or soap with just a little suction, and slide the cup around. That works well on the neck with a small cup, in my experience. YMMV.

Hello, for sure you'll have it. i got a round bruise in my neck and it took 1week to disappear. But definitely It helped me with the pain even with the round bruise. Is normal with this product but it really works.

Like Jordan said..the whole point is to bring blood to the surface to oxygenate the area..so yes a " hicky" will result. If your not getting the hicky then your not doing it right.

it stings, I won't lie. It's no worse or better than getting hit by one when someone flicks one at you kind of hard. I didn't get any bruises from it or anything. Maybe if you bruise easily but it's really not that bad.

I started with the sensitive ones and then ordered these thinking they'd come off as easily... they do NOT! I can only get these tan ones off in the shower and even then sometimes get left behind with some goo... the clear "Breathe Right Extra Clear for Sensitive Skin" ones come off SOOOOOOOOOO much easier! I haven't had ANY problems with them coming off too easy, but I can peel it off in the morning when I get up BEFORE I hop in the shower which was not possible with these tan ones. I know this may be too late for you, but hopefully it helps someone! I used them while pregnancy had me swollen and snoring.

Oh, I didn't give you reference information in my answer. I have dry, sensitive, very fair, porcelain skin. I am very easily agitated by products, and these caused nooooooo problem at all! No pain or irritation during or after use!

Been a while since i had it. Pretty abraisive. All surface area was the same courseness all over it. Turned my skin red when i wasnt gentle with it, but even gentle scrubbing will irritate the skin a little. Maybe thats how theyre supposed to be.

Nope your knuckles will get cut and bleed make sure you use tape on your knuckles or buy the wraps. Everlast sells them! :)

Yes I have a key loud scar and they have flattened and lightened my scar. It also helps the itching and burning.

No though if you have delicate skin it will seem that way but it does not actually puncture the skin it promotes blood flow by causing mild irritation to the site

Cherry angiomas are vascular lesions and need to be burned with a laser or with a medical electrocautery device. If you make them mad they will just bleed & make a mess. In my review I described chemical burns on one of my patients from this product, I would not use it on anything. Go see a good Dermatologist.

I know I am pretty much what others have said before me, but you should really have a doctor check it out to be safe. A side note, most people use this for things like boils, abscesses, cysts, etc., so it may not be something you would want to use for that spot, even once a doctor checks it out. Good luck! :)

None. All terrible. I stopped a week into it because the pressure against my collarbone was too intense. I was worried about forming a bruise.

You can use them, but in my experience they won't be as effective preventing scarring. They will begin speeding up the healing process, but since the sore has already scabbed a light red or pink scar will most likely linger.

Iv gotten two pimples around it but it's because I have VERY sensitive skin, like can't use any lotion unless it's meant for babies and so forth, but honestly these are so worth the buy and my other nicer ones irritate my nose more than these ever have. I could have just had a breakout when they did give me a pimple because I tend to get pimples around my piercings. hope this helps a bit!

I use this around my neck and over the top of my clothes with no problem. Just be careful you don't heat it to long it can burn you and leave marks. I find for me 2minutes 20 seconds works well. We've used these for several years.

Oh yes. I use it on my face a couple of times a week - at night. It is pretty strong, so you want to be careful the first time. I can't put it on my neck because it's just too strong and I end up with something like a burn. I have heard of people putting this Glycolic Cream on their face, and them putting a moisturizer on top - I think that cools down the stingy feeling a little bit. It does sting and burn, but only for 15 minutes or so. If you've ever had a glycolic acid peel, you'll recognize the feeling. I love this cream - but I respect it and use it with care.

I have been using the Clarisonic Opal Sonic for some time now and have not had bruising. I am very careful to keep the Sonic on areas where there is bone underneath the skin. They do warn you that you could damage your eye if you use it too closely. I am unconvinced it does much good anyway as far as reducing puffiness around the eye.
