Do Home Microdermabration & Wrinkle Gadgets Really Work such as Baby Quasar & PalaVia, etc?

I was wondering if any of you have tried these type beauty gadgets and do they really make a difference?

I don't want to invest the money that these type products cost if they either don't work at all or just get so-so results.

I know it wouldn't be the same as treatments at the derm's office but it would be way cheaper in the long run.

I have a Clarisonic. I'm on Atralin right now which is a Retin A. I have heard Tazorac is better than Retin-A for this and fine lines. Anyone have any experience with these?

I've tried scrubs and glycolic peels at home but I'm looking for something that would be more aggressive on the blackheads on my nose. I can hide them with makeup but they drive me nuts. I don't mean abrasive that would damage my skin. It appears from what I've read on the internet microdermaration is the way to go for this.

Of course the sale people always give a hard sales pitch on these gadgets. It makes it even tough to just check them out in person to see what they look and feel like without the pressure. 

Anyone with any suggestions?

Thank you for the info. I'm glad you realy like the BQ and are seeing results. I had also looked online at the MD. It's quite a jump in price but I was thinking that if I was going to purchase one of these if it might be better to just go ahead and bite the bullet and get it.

I also have to be careful and not slather on too much eye cream and such because that can cause more milia. I have a little bit already. I had some taken care of at the derm's office several months ago. I'm going back soon to get a couple of small moles removed from neck and also have her remove some more. I ws thinking BQ or something like that would cut way down on the amount of products I use.

As for the blackheads I'm going to ask my derm if changing topicals or increasing the strength of the Atralin gel would help. The clarisonic does help decrease the amount. I may just have to get some microdermabration done somewhere and not try it at home. In the past I've been way too rough on my skin. And I've tried so many things that I'm not convinced an at home devise could come close to the specialized tool thingie they use. I'll be 50 next month and have to be even more careful not to do any damage. My skin won't snap back and repair itself as when I was younger. And it probably doesn't help that I examine my skin in a 7X mirror. Some people think that leads one to be overly obsessed about their skin.

Thanks for sharing your experience with these items. I'm going to check these out.
