Rant: I tried a new facial machine for 3 months and it was a total waste

My spa bought this fancy new 'multi-wave' light therapy device for over $2000. I used it on clients for a full quarter, following the manual exactly. It promised to reduce redness and boost collagen. Honestly, my old, simple high frequency wand that cost maybe $300 did a better job in half the time. The results from the expensive machine were so subtle that three separate clients asked if I'd even started the treatment yet. I'm going back to my trusty high frequency next week. Has anyone else had a machine totally fail to live up to the hype?

Honestly, I had the complete opposite experience. My shop invested in a similar machine last year and the clients with persistent redness saw a real, lasting change. It took a full six to eight weeks of regular sessions for some to notice, but they were thrilled. Maybe the specific technology or the skin types you're treating just don't match up well. It's frustrating when such a big purchase doesn't work out for your practice though.
