Hi Charlie_girl,
I started using Brava too. I actually bought it half a year ago but the first time I used it it only lasted a few days because I developed mini blisters because I got too ambitious right away and did too many hours. I should've done 6 hrs first day, 8 hrs second day, etc. Then I got busy and traveled a lot.
Finally...I'm starting again and my goal is to do it for half a year if I can. Ambitious, but I'll try my best. If I can last for half a year, I might take a couple of months off and do another half a year!
I started again 20 days ago. Got a rash (no blisters) after a few days. I think my skin's too sensitive too the glue on the rims and my skin's too dehydrated. So I took some time off, did tons of research, and bought various skin moisturizers like organic aloe vera gel, vitamin E, etc. I'm also gonna use saran wrap so the rim doesn't contact my skin directly. I restarted last night and feel finally fully prepared and ready.
Despite the trials and tribulations, I really like it. I noogled for a while too and felt like I had some success, but not significant enough. I did a lot of research and feel that the science behind brava makes sense. I've been on the NBE journey on and off for a long time and I think brava's gonna help get me where I want.
I think used domes should be fine if you use alcohol pads to disinfect it first.
I'd say preparing yourself properly before you start is important. I'd buy all the moisturizers (organic Aloe gel, vitamin E etc) before you start so you don't have to take too many days off if your skin is also sensitive.
Best of luck!!
