Small but mighty!!
This is awesome. The suction on high I use for areas that need more help. It does leave a red streak to face but so worth it. I apply collagen or vitamin C after. My skin is smoother and hopefully with time my wrinkles in lower face will soften. It’s a learning curve if your first time ( my 2ndunit) from same company. With Amazon they are really good with honoring returns so no hassle return if you don’t like.
Yes. I would recommend!!!
This is a wonder product! I was spending over $100 for a facial monthly that did not do as well as this machine! After three uses, my skin is softer and so much more smoother! I gave one to my daughter for Mother's Day and highly recommend it.

Great item totally gets rid of dead skin. Would recommend this item.

I can't give an honest opinion on this device yet as I have just received it and used it only once. My skin did look a little radiant and very smooth.

I purchased one of these and have been using it a couple times a week on my skin for over a year. In a relatively quick amount of time I noticed a significant improvement in my skin, mostly in regards to my acne but for the wrinkles on my forehead a bit as well. Beyond the physical improvements it also leaves my skin feeling so much better! I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone. Costs a bit initially, but it’s well worth the money and upkeep for new filters and diamond heads is not expensive after.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Easy to use - just enough power for me to feel safe enough to use it at home

I bought one for myself and loved it so much that I bought one for my sister for her birthday. It's easy to use and takes very little time. The results however are amazing. You can feel the difference on your skin from the first time you use it.

I really like the small size which is easy to take with when I travel. It works well almost as well as the larger size Trophy I have at home. My only complaint is not having the sensitive tip I normally use and I will have to pay extra for it.

Works as expected
My wife has infrequently used it. It performed well and made her facial skin feel soft and refreshed.
It is very portable, easy to hold and use. It works on dual voltage so it can be used in countries with 220V electricity.
This arrived today and I have used it already. I got it because I saw Dr. Denese on Beauty IQ saying a microdermabrasion thingy was something virtually all women need. I know that when you have layers of dead cells on your face, the moisturizer cannot absorb, any hyaluronic acid I apply cannot help, etc. I have been using an exfoliating scrub every couple of days and that does help a little, but I think my skin still looks dull and my pores look large to me. So, this little thing has a little diamond surfaced grinding pad of sorts, for the exfoliation. I am farsighted so when I do this I am looking in a 15x magnifying mirror. I can see clearly that the dead cells on top of my skin have been ruffed up in each area after using it. Some of this loosened up dead skin is taken up with the gentle suction and I could see them on the filter pad when I changed it (I used low this first time), and the rest of them which I can see ruffed up came off with my toner pad. After this first treatment and toner I applied some moisturizing serum and right now my face feels so soft and smooth. I know this is going to have a great effect and expect to see continued improvement and decrease in pore size.
I bought this unit 2 years ago and it’s still working. It definitely has less suction power than the bigger version but it serves its purpose, after treatment you’ll feel your skin smoother and radiant. Best thing is that this unit is travel friendly. I would definitely recommend it and buy again.
This helps my face stay clear from dry skin build up! It has dramatically improved my skin on my jaw line and forehead. I recommend for dry skin and combination!
I certainly did see results in a few weeks, reduction of discoloration, acne scarring, and better skin in general. I am not sure if I would continue buying refills, especially since the diamond head does not seem as coarse anymore. My skin is also at a point where I would feel comfortable maintaining it because this is time consuming. I already have a skin care routine that takes time plus a clarisonic and exfoliation days. You are suppose to do microderm three times a week at least and do please try once a week first and slowly build up.
Each session takes awhile, but this is the mini with the mini head so I cannot really complain, but a time investment is expected if you want better skin. It takes me about 20 mins and I play music to make it feel like a relaxation fime instead.
If you want better skin, try this out. Or schedule a microderm appointment but it does take weeks to see a noticeable improvement. At this price poont you can to see if it fits your life style or just to imrove your skin now.
GREAT PRODUCT
if you know how to use it rite
I think the bad/low reviews are from the folks that have no idea how to use the product
You can feel when you have proper suction
If you don’t try a slightly different angle
I’ve been getting microdermabrasion facials from my dermatologist for quite a few years now, and I can confidently say that this machine produces the same results. Very happy with my purchase!
What’s in the MiniMD box?
* 1 MiniMD Device (2 suction power levels – Low & High)
* 1 standard coarseness diamond tip
* 30 mini wool filters
* Adapter
* Instruction Manual
Using the MiniMD is simple and straightforward. First, you begin with a clean face. (For me, after showering I added the Mini to my nightly routine.) Because it’s been years since I’ve had a microderm treatment – I started twice a week for two weeks. Then three times a week, Mon, Wed, Fri. every week since.
The tip is much smaller than those used in Spa treatments so it takes longer to treat the entire face, declate’, neck, and jaw line. (I’m probably slower than most people. But I timed each treatment, and the average was about 23 minutes. Which may sound like “oh gosh I don’t have an extra half hour.” But I reminded myself -making an appt, driving to Spa, wait your turn, get the treatment, pay your bill, drive home- takes much much more than 23 mins.)
Using the wand in my right hand, I use my left hand to pull the skin “flat (taught). Because you have to keep the “head” firmly attached to the area. If it looses “grip” in a spot, I stop right there, get it “flat on” and begin again. Do NOT go over the same spot more than twice or it will leave a light reddish line. (It disappears quickly. But you just want to help “slough off” the dead skin – NOT damage the new skin underneath.) I continue making passes across all areas -paying extra attention at the smile folds around my mouth and crevices around my nose. Immediately after using I take off the rubber head, dispose of the used wool filter, clean the diamond tip thoroughly, place a clean wool filter, and it’s ready for next time. (Attached pics show everything in the box, the wand head exposed, the instructions & proper wand placement diagram)
I’ve used the MiniMD for 6 weeks. While I cannot say my skin is “glowing or youthful” it is certainly improved. I feel my skin is better today than it would’ve been without using the MiniMD. I am happy with the subtle improvements and feel if I just continue this regiment I can expect to see additional improvements or at the very least maintain where I am now. Like on a scale 1-10, when I started my skin would’ve been a 3, after 6 weeks I would say it’s improved to a 5 maybe 6. Without using the MiniMD it would still be a 3. I think I have achieved reasonable results.
The thing I did not like was the odor. Straight out of the box, as soon as it was powered on, there was an unpleasant odor. I was unable to determine the source or reason for it. It may be a non-issue for others with less sensitive noses. But for those like me, with a hyper-sensitive sense of smell, it is noticeable. Even though it’s not bothersome enough to be a deal breaker, I am obligated to mention it as part of my experience with the Mini.
There’s a pore attachment you can buy separately. I recommend using the MiniMD for a few weeks first. The replacement filters and diamond tip are available on Amazon too.
Bottom line, this is NOT a Magic Wand. If you have reasonable expectations you will not be disappointed.
Note: Keep it clean and remember to replace that lil filter every time!
*Thank you for reading about my experience with The Trophy Skin Mini.
Before using this device, I had bad skin, low self-esteem, no money, no friends, and no girlfriend. After just one use, I became a wealthy model and now travel the world with a different girlfriend in every city.
Okay, I’m embellishing the story a bit. But it does make your skin noticeably smoother after just one use. I did a lot of research on these devices before buying, and this one seemed to be the best combination of price and performance. It comes with a bunch of replacement filters, which is a nice bonus. I recommend it.
First of all it took me a little while to figure out this device isn’t cordless (lol). So you must keep it plugged in when using. Don’t know why this couldn’t be cordless for convenience. I’m in my 60’s and I have sensitive skin. I was careful the first few times using it because I was afraid of damaging my skin. Once I got used to it, I’m a lot more comfortable using it. It makes my skin softer to the touch.
Absolutely love this product!!! Got it for Christmas and have used it twice, already notice a difference in my skin. Definitely am recommending this product!!
When I first got this I was excited to try it, but the longer it sat on my vanity, the more nervous I became about what it would do to my skin. Too bad I waited so long to put this to use. Microdermabrasion is normally done at the doctor's office, but this handy little unit makes it possible for you to do it on your own. You gently stroke the tiny diamond studded tip across your skin, as you go the skin does turn a bit red, but that made it easier for me to see what part I had done, thus helping me to avoid going over the same area too many times. It did take a really long time to do, and I was super gentle with my skin products after using it. I'm not sure I see a huge improvement in my overall skin condition, but imagine that with continued use, it's possible that my skin will look smoother. This is definitely a long-haul product, not something you can use once and be done with it.

Longevity In Question
This branded item was selling like hotcakes on QVC and friends were buying them. I didn’t because I had BOTH good and bad experiences with microdermabrasion professionals and didn’t trust myself to do well on myself. When this was offered here I opted to give it a try. I’ve had good experience with this instrument but I’ve only used it a few times. It exfoliates and smoothes dry, flaky patches. My brown spots are fading but arene’t gone.
My friends’ QVC purchases didn’t hold up well, malfunctioned or broke. I’m hoping mine has longevity, I’ve learned to enjoy my at-home microdermabrasion with my budget intact. I remember my better in office treatments and try to follow what I remember, such as focus on the areas that need it most and don’t sand-paper your entire face and chest the same way. So far so good.
I have used a full size version of a microdermabrasion machine with multiple diamond heads. This is very comparable to the full size version. Although it only has 2 suction choices, it gets the job done! I have seen a significant difference in my skin. I also have purchased the pore suction piece and I love it! It has helped significantly with my blackheads. This is great for when traveling or especially if you can't afford a full size version.

What we liked about the product,
We liked this product in general and I feel things are changing so my wife. The suction isn’t that high that will make you uncomfortable. On the other hand, you should continuously device on your skin don’t stop on one region if your motion with the tip is very slow you will see some red lines and/or regions on you skin. Probably, they will last 1-2 days.On the contrary, if you make it to fast you need to do it over and over again. These are the learning process for first week than you will learn how to apply. The most I liked about this product is it works on my nose. Usually, I stay in front of the mirror an squish my nose to take out that ugly worm looking things and mostly I have nail scars on my nose 🙂 with this product it is much easier.
What we don’t like about it,
It is somehow difficult to use on forehead and nose due to diamond tip (it isn’t flexible). So you need to buy other diamond tips for that (Precision Diamond Tip or Large Diamond Tip or Fine Diamond Tip). We haven’t tried these diamond tips since they are sold separately. This is the only thing we didn’t like about it. at least the Precision Diamond tip could be included to the package.
In summary, We liked this product and we believe it worth its price. We highly recommend this product for females and also for males who wants to take care their skin.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask and sorry for the first image I post I just wanted to show that it is working..
Thanks
My wife and I wanted to try this out. She has great skin and is a beautiful young lady, I on the other hand have some acne scaring from my youth.
She was hoping to use this to freshen up, and I was hoping it would lighten my scarring.
It is fairly early to tell if it will do much for my scars, I suspect it will take months to effect the damage. But the process is quick and painless. Trophy skin really makes it pretty easy.
My wife has found that it really does freshen her skin as she had hoped.
What to know about this handheld tool:
It must be plugged in. This is not cordless.
The abrasion feature is not powered. It is a coarse sanding surface that abrades via your movement.
The power is for the vacuum feature. The little tube in the middle is a vacuum to pull off dead skin cells after you abrade them.
There is a silicon cap over the abrasion tip. You will likely pull the abrasion tube off when you remove the tightly fixed end cap. Use a twisting rocking motion and hold the bottom of the tube, and you can get the cap off. But it is on there tight.
There are two speeds of vacuum. I find low speed to be effective for most facial abrasion. The higher speed is fine for your nose, or areas with much firmer tighter skin.
This vacuum is quite powerful. If the speed is too high, or you do not move it around enough, you will leave a “love” mark. You have been warned.
You will want your skin to be oil, and makeup free prior to use.
This comes with a few filters. I have not looked in to replacement filters. But I am sure they could made easily enough.
There is an indication light, when you have power. This may lead you to believe it is rechargeable. It is not.
After vigorous usage on my scarred areas there is visual puffiness. It is evident that it does something. The puffiness Doe’s go away in about 30 minutes.
I am eager to see how effectively this will lighten my scars.
Read this if you have rosacea!
My partner loves this machine. She has lovely skin with no sensitivities and she uses it gently. Even after just a few sessions with it, her skin is soft and glowing. Unfortunately, I have a little bit of rosacea and I can’t use it at all – I wish I could. This machine works with micro-abrasion and suction, and the suction is just a disaster for skin prone to rosacea. When you have rosacea the capillaries are very close to the surface and can break easily. I tried this machine on one side of my face and in just one gently pass the suction broke several tiny capillaries on my cheek… definitely not the desired effect. This is a good product and one that my partner intends to use forever, but for me this machine is definitely not an option. I gave it four stars because it works perfectly for people with healthy, normal skin… just not my tissue-paper delicate skin!
I really enjoying reviewing things and sharing my thoughts and photos with other people who are shopping the same products. And I always appreciate it when someone takes the time to write a review… it always makes the process of buying online less nerve-racking. It always makes my day to know that my reviews helped someone out, so if you have any questions or comments, or just want to say Hi, I usually respond pretty quickly, but almost always within 24 hours.
I am new to this kind of product, but...being a woman of “a certain age” I will take ALL the help I can get in keeping my skin as nice as I can. Only have used it a couple of times, as I have sensitive skin so I do not want to overdo it! It took me a few minutes to get used to handling it, as it really has pretty good suction, more than I thought it would. I made sure to not linger over ANY area for too long, like with anything, you can go back and do a bit more but if you get carried away and damage your skin well then you have healing time and the possibility of scars...so take it gingerly! I love that its SO lightweight, not sure what I was expecting but I was pleased its lightweight as I do have arthritic hands. It is not cordless, that was not a problem for me as I have a couple of plugs by my bathroom sink, but if you don’t, maybe set up a folding table near a plug-in so you can sit and have a standing mirror to use. My skin was rosy when done but this was short lived, it also felt SO smooth when I lightly went over my face with cool water and then patted dry before applying my moisturizer...I was SO happy with the results! It is a bit pricey but it is a LOT less in cost than ONE visit to a dermatologist...just be careful with it.

Updated review
Steadiness of hand and patience is required with this device. It’s pretty fiddly to get going, and the instructions are a bit lacking. For example, you’re not supposed to use it without a filter (a generous bag of filters is provided) but neither the instructions nor the pictures show where the filter goes. I figured it out. The filter is meant to be replaced after each use.
The filters are tiny and have a tendency to bounce. They also try to escape from their storage bag. I chased one all over the bathroom before I could subdue it into the device.
There’s a protective cover on the diamond tip, but that’s not addressed in the user manual either. Again, I figured it out. Once I got the pieces parts together and plugged it in, there was a lag of several seconds before the power button worked. That’s not a big deal, but something you should know.
There are two levels of suction controlled by the power button. There’s no indication on the device about which is which. I gathered from peering at the pictures that the top light indicates the lowest level. The manual recommends starting off at the lowest level for a few sessions until the skin adjusts. OK, we’re good to go on the lowest setting.
There’s a diagram of the face with 11 suggestions of location and direction in which to use the device. You’re supposed to stretch the skin with your non dominant hand while operating the device in short strokes with the other. There’s definitely a learning curve to this thing and I’m counting on practice to make things easier and faster.
As far as results go, here’s the empirical evidence:
My skin is pink and smoother after use. There’s been a very small amount of gunk on the used filters. The serum and cream I apply after use are very quickly absorbed. My lines and wrinkles are much more pronounced after each use, but that seems to be temporary. I’ve had red spots on my face from leaving the device in one place too long, but that’s user error and they go away. I’ve not have any scratches or raw places from using this thing, but I’ve also been pretty cautious with it.
My verdict:
Though tricky to use, the vacuuming property is actually a great selling point judging from inspection of the used filters. It does stimulate the skin and promote the absorption of skin care products. After two weeks of using it every two or three days, my skin is definitely better. It looks and feels smoother. My makeup stays on better. Practice has made it faster and easier to use. The filters are still fiddly, but I’ve found that using tweezers to install and remove really helps.
Over time, this device will pay for itself, if you’re accustomed to getting salon facials. The results are comparable. I’m really impressed with this little gizmo!
I’m upgrading my rating from three stars to four.
I am in love my MD! I saw a huge difference on the first try. My skin is sensitive and is dry combination so I have to be careful with what I put on to smooth it because it's prone to cystic acne. Using my MD has made it easier by exfoliating and smoothing my skin and I use very little serum after my treatment which actually absorbs it instead of sitting on top of my skin. The only issue I have is how quickly it seems to run out of battery. It may just be my device though. One thing you do need to remember is to keep it in motion. If left in one spot on your face, you'll be left with a purple suction spot which isnt exactly a look most people are going for, lol. Just follow the directions exactly and you should be fine. If you're more visual, like myself, they have plenty of instructional videos. It definitely is worth it to try out instead of paying crazy amounts for sessions at a dermatologists.

I have the larger Trophy Skin Microdermabrasion machine and I love it. So I was excited to try the smaller version.This mini version is great for travel and on the go. It doesn't offer all of the features of the big unit but it is one third of the price and works great. After each treatment, my skin feels soft and lovely. It is easy to use and the compact size makes it easy to store. The price point is reasonable and it works much better than pricey skin creams. A good buy if you want prettier skin!

I have oily skin and large pores and this along with the SUCTION tip (separate) is amazing! The sebum literally sucks right out. You have to wash your face first and them use a steamer so you can loosen the dirt. If you dont have a steamer you can you a warm towel on the face for a few min. Make sure when you use the suction tip your fsce has some water on it(very little) makes gliding over skin easier and not damaging. I use the highest power. I put Vitamin C serum on after. I used it once with microderm crystals and It works ok. Saw minimal peeling.
I love this product! I have terrible bumpy skin and this helps clear all the gunk excess and leaves my face feeling soft! It’s got good suction and comes with lots of extra filters!
I’ve used this a few times now. It takes some getting used to and I have followed the instructions correctly and used it carefully but still managed to give myself a few suction marks on my face. Not worried though as these will soon disappear and are much better than the awful scratches I got when I had this treatment in an established beauty salon! I’ve not seen the dead skin cells on the filter like people rave about but I’m guessing that’s because I exfoliate my skin regularly anyway. Even so, I will continue to use this a few times per week. Skin feels smoother.
Arrived today, just wanted to let prospective European buyers know that it now has a British plug with a mainland Europe adapter… so they do listen. Also have to say that I hope the results are as brilliant as the packaging!!! This could make a very nice gift for someone… so long as they ask for it!
Works as other reviews have said. Haven't noticed any difference in skin after 4 months of use 2x weekly, but that's not the products fault, it's the media's.

I will admit i was pretty terrified of using this when it first arrived. I have had microdermabrasion at a salon and was anxious i would wreck my face. However i eventually plucked up the courage.
The device comes nicely packaged with a really thorough instruction manual which provides use and care instructions for the device. Mine also arrived with a seperate bag of plug adaptors, but i do have a shaver point in my bathroom so can use it there without using a uk plug adaptor.
The device itself is really easy to use, there is minimal discomfort even with my sensitive skin and after using it i recommend a heavy duty moisturiser.
Given the cost of professional microdermabrasion, i would definitely say this is worth the investment for DIY treatment.
I have been pleased with the results and am delighted with my purchase.
I received this at a discount in return for an unbiased review.

Great product, my skin feels silky smooth after using a few times, careful not to overdo around the nose area, my nose is peeling as a result.

Love my Trophy Skin. To begin with use on the main setting ONLY until you’re use to this hand held it is so solid you’ll get wounds if not. Scratch down hard and look as the skin gathers in the opening. Unscrew the spout and see all the skin gathered on the fleece. I clean every fleece once and reuse yet it says utilize just once however you can get two employments of it in the event that you clean it well likewise take out blow clean the suction. Put new fleece and screw on. That straightforward! Utilize directly after the shower for the best results or wash your face (No cleaning simply light wash). I utilize this on my mid-section severe singeing I had and it has helped the shading. I have utilized my trophy seven times so far and I cherish it ! The main thing is it doesn’t do anything for pimples so ensure you get the clogged pore tip.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully when using this product. The result will be great if you know how to use this.
First off, the packaging is beautiful. It came in with microdermabrasion, a detachable cord, a bag of small filters and a manual on how to perform the procedure.
It comes with two settings. A high and a low. Use whatever setting best suits you. I usually use high for my first day of the week and low on the second day of the week. Secondly, use the manual as a guidance on what direction to go. After completing the microdermabrasion procedure, remove filter and clean the tip of the microdermabrasion. Wash your face followed by a favorite moisturizer.
I didn’t have a lot of success using it as a microdermabrasion device, but I bought the pore extraction tip and THAT is amazing. Forget pore straps, masques, and scrubs– this is the ONLY way to get every last pore on your nose clean!
This review has been a long while coming, as unfortunately after receiving my microdermabrasion unit I discovered that it has a US plug on it, and I needed to get an adaptor in order to use it in the UK. I duly ordered an adaptor, and then had to wait several weeks for it to arrive from China!
Now onto the review proper. First up, I was impressed with the packaging clean, smooth and chic looking, it immediately filled me with confidence that this was a quality product. An extensive instruction booklet provides detailed, step by step instructions on how to safely and effectively use the device, and again this is clearly written, glossy, and with good quality diagrams and photos. I like it when an instruction booklet is well written – again this speaks of quality. There is nothing worse than a poorly written instruction booklet littered with typos and grammatical errors – this immediately makes me nervous about whatever product it is, but no such problems here. I also recommend looking on YouTube for an instructional video which was posted by another user of this product, as she does a demonstration on film which I found really helpful.
Onto the device itself. It’s smaller than I expected, and fits snugly in the hand. The small nozzle with the ‘diamond tip’ foes against your skin, and you draw it slowly across the skin in the direction indicated in the booklet (each area of the face works best with a specific direction – I imagine this is working with the skin’s natural elasticity and underlying lymphatic drainage channels to maximise the effects). There are two intensity settings and I started with the gentler one. The tip exerts gentle suction which you can feel when you try to remove the tip from your skin, but it’s not strong enough to feel uncomfortable at all. It took me about 5 minutes to do my complete face, so not long at all. You can also use it on other areas of the body such as the hands. There is a small wool filter inside the tip which filters out the dead skin cells being removed by the device, and you need to change this after each use. The device comes with a bag of these, enough to last a long time.
Whilst I haven’t been using this long enough to notice any reduction in fine lines, I’ve certainly noticed a smoothing and softening effect, and am looking forward to seeing improvements in my fine lines too. It’s not so long ago that you had to pay 100s for this very treatment in salons, so this home version really is excellent value for money.
Please note I was fortunate to receive this product at a discount in return for my honest and unbiased review.
Five Stars
I can see good difference on my skin tone after I continuous use i
I really like this little machine. I ordered the blackhead tip and use that tip exclusively. It really works and has good suction. I still get clogs in my pores, but this pulls them out and now I don’t have the redness and other undesirable effects of squeezing my skin to remove them. My skin has cleared up and looks so much better–nothing to pick at anymore. Also, after reading other reviews about the diamond tip scratching skin and leaving marks, I just use the blackhead tip as it is smooth plastic and does not do that.
Skin much, much smoother after just 2 weeks. Skin has never been close to this smooth pores visibly smaller.
I am an esthetician of over 20 years. This is one of the best and easiest handheld I have come across. Great value too. I use two times a week and my skin is always glowing. Highly recommend!
I noticed great results from this product within first 2-3 weeks but by week 3-4 the diamond tip didn’t seem to work as effectively after using 3 times weekly. Would be great if the product came with a tip replacement. I can’t see it lasting 6 months.
I can see a noticeable difference in the minimization of my pores and also a reduction of my teenage acne scars. It’s like they are slowly fading away. I use this device twice a week on my face and neck and one treatment is usually only about 5-7 minutes tops. I also facial steam, extract, and use a Murad mask skin kit treatment as the complete regimen.
I did some research before I bought the miniMD and the reviews made me feel confident it would be a good investment. And so far so good! It’s very easy to use, very straight forward and it takes no time to do your face! I’ve only used it once, last night, and this morning my face feels so much softer! And I would even say slightly firmer too. It’s only been one session so I cannot wait to use it once a week for a month to see what potentially could be seriously amazing results. I know it has worked as the filters “before and after” look very different indeed. It has clearly removed dead skin. I have attached a couple of pictures to show the results for those that are researching on this product 🙂 I rated four stars only because I’ve only used it once but I will be keeping you updated and rating higher accordingly 🙂
This item creates and removes skin flakes. Don't forget extra filters says to change them each time

This is a great unit. Exfoliates making your skin baby smooth. I’ve been using it about 1 month. Smaller pores, improvement in fine lines, just healthier looking and feeling skin. The precision tip is a must for around the eyes, nose and just as a follow up to the standard tip. After use I apply an L-Acscorbic acid serum followed by Argan oil and my skin literally drinks it in. I love it and can’t wait to see the results in another month.
Absolutely love this device, even from the first use I could see the difference in my skin.

good product, helped the nasty blackheads around my nose that I haven't been able to get rid of for months. it does not help my break outs but it does help even my skin tone and has helped make my skin look beautiful.

Worthwhile investme
I found this to be easy to use as it comes with an easy to follow guide. Nicely packaged. After one use, I could see a significant difference. A worthwhile investment. Only downside for me is that you have to plug and kept it plugged in during use and the plug is a two pin. Would be great if it was just rechargeable.
So far so good. Only used it a few times but it does work
Wow, I have a relatively very good skin at 42. There wasn’t much gunk after I’m done. Nonetheless, my skin was baby smooth. I’m very impressed! Next, I tried it on my not so baby smooth feet. Oh my goodness! Gunk on that little black round thing that collects ’em. Took a few years off my feet.
I’m very HAPPY with my purchase. Never tried demabrasion micro or large ever, this is my first. I can feel all the lotion I applied on my face penetrating more than it did before.
Thank you!
This is an amazing device! I’m so glad I ordered it, because over time I’m sure it will allow me to greatly reduce a scar on my cheek. After 3 uses, separated by a week, I’ve already seen a major improvement. First let me describe the scar. It’s not deep, and appears as a white patch covering an area about the size of a quarter. I always felt that the layer of scar tissue was so thin, it could be mostly “erased” with enough dermabrasion. I did go to a professional aesthetician several times for treatments, but saw no improvement. I chose not to invest more money in these expensive treatments, and decided to go it alone. I must admit to being more aggressive in my approach than the Instruction Manual advises, but no lasting harm was done. I’m not advising anyone to do this, I’m just saying it worked for me. I kept drawing the suction tip over the area until I saw tiny pinpoints of red under the scar. Then I stopped and applied a generous amount of Vaseline over the area. The next morning it was just slightly pink around the white area of the scar, so my normal routine of applying concealer to cover the scar worked as usual. In a couple of days, the treated area began to peel, in a “flaky” sort of way. Again, it did not interfere with my normal makeup routine, because the flaking was gradual and hardly noticeable. After a week, all of the flakiness was gone, and I could absolutely see a reduction of the scar. I’ve repeated the treatment twice since then, with further reduction noticeable. I know that a scar can’t ever be completely erased, but with my MiniMD, I expect someday it will be barely visible.
Great produc
Delivery was quick and well packaged, the item is made of good quality but downside was it had an American plug(was not In the item description)so I had to buy a plug adapter to fit In the uk. I have used the product 3 times now and can see a difference In my skin already. a lot of my blackheads have cleared up which I am very happy about. it feels soft and look more fresh. at first using the product I found it uncomfortable but its fine now as my skin has got used to it. I recommend this product and cant wait to see more results.
I received this product at a discount for a honest review
I have sensitive skin and the first time I used this I ended up with a hickey type mark on my chin. I new not to leave the device too long in one spot and it was literally less than a second. This is definitely something to watch for. I can see how this will be effective over time and I intend to keep using.
I purchased this using a discount code in return for an honest review. This is fantastic!! It took me a few days before i could try it out as it comes with a US plug attatched so please bear that in mind when you order. I used a shaving plug adaptor in order to use it.
That is the only negative aspect of this device.
It is very easy to use and is small enough to target specific problem areas. It works like a vacuum and as you run it over your skin the abrasive tip gently removes dead skin cells which are trapped in the small wool filters which come supplied in the box (about 50).
I have used this on my face only so far but the comprehensive manual supplied shows it can be used on hands, feet, or anywhere else you have problem areas. After just one use i could see and feel a difference in my skin. This is perfect for me, a busy Mum who never has the time to go to a beauty salon for treatments (or can justify the prices when i could be spending on my boys!). Just 5-10 minutes is all it takes to do your face which i can do just before i go to bed before applying night cream which i feel works better.
I have even got my partner to guinea pig this for me as I have been so impressed. He has an enlarged pore on his back which I’m always trying to unclog. First attempt with this device and it cleared straight away!
Great product. My skin looked and felt softer and more youthful after one treatment.

Great product! Easy to use, easy to clean. And the next day, my face and neck looked radiant!
I have only been using the MiniMD for 2(ish) months, but I can already tell an improvement in the texture of my skin. I don’t seem to break out as often, my sun spots don’t seem as noticeable, and my skin is so smooth! It removes so much dead skin it’s incredible (and so gross)! I would definitely recommend purchasing the Precision Tip of you have a narrow nose though. Overall, I love love LOVE the MiniMD!
I’ve been using miniMD by Trophy skin for about 2 weeks , so far I’m very pleased with this product, my face looks cleaner and it feels smother after my treatment, it removes all the dead skin .
My face gets a little irritated when I do my treatments, but I use vitamin c cerum plus a pure moringa oil so my face won’t feel so dry with the vitamin c cerum. I usually do it at night, I see the difference in the morning when the redness is gone. I recommend this product. I love it
I will update soon on my progress. I have a couple of dark spots on my cheeks that I’m hoping to get rid of along with premature wrinkles.
Wow – lots of suction – felt just like a microdermabrasion at the doctor office! Just got it but very happy so far.
Very good product, I only wish there was a more coarse diamond head to purchase additionally. Overall it works great.
