When I first trained as a therapist I purchased the Carlton galvanic & high frequency machines (infact had mostly Carlton equipment in the salon). The machines are in my opinion of good quality however...I then experienced what was then the Guinot Cathiodermie (now Called Hydradermie 2) and after 25yrs of using Guinot machines & products I can honestly say I wouldn't use anything else. The set up is a considerable amount, but I love the fact that the treatments never fail to impress. Retailing is hard as there are many online retailers selling below what I can even purchase the products in at trade, but this seems to be the way with most items these days! I have over the yrs to add alternatives for my clients used many other brands as well as Guinot...Darphin, Eve Taylor, Clarins and others but they always come back to the Guinot selection!
I purchased from another company a Radio Frequency facial machine as I'd seen the Carlton RF in action and was impressed, the machine I purchased (not Carltons) was cheaper, and boy have I learnt my lesson the customer service was APALLING and I soo wished I'd waited a while, paid that bit more & got what I knew was a better machine. Guinots great and what's more with the new Guinot Hydradermie there is no saturater bar that the client has to grasp...many clients were anxious at this and now they can just completely relax!
