Brava worries

Hi ladies,
I am considering purchasing a Brava and I have been doing a lot of research about it for the last couple of months. I of course am scared to not have any growth on it, but I am even more scared about these rashes and red marks and permanent scarring that I keep reading about. I can handle putting the time into it to get results, but I think I would completely freak out something bad if I start getting weird rashes and bumps and permanent red marks. Any advice or thoughts on the matter?
Thanks a bunch for your input!

Hi - I have been using Brava for 13 weeks and following what they tell you to do exactly. I did break out in a rash about three weeks in from their skin care line as it was too harsh for my skin. I called the hotline and they told me what to do. You basically switch to baby shampoo and Aveeno moisturizer and then you're fine. The rash cleared in 2 days and I have had no rash since. As far as permanent marks, my marks go away about 2 hours after taking the domes off and then you can't even tell the lines were ever there. I have no permanent scars/marks.

I have used brava 4 different times with many months in between and the worst problem I ever had was a mild rash under my armpits. I used neosporin ointment and put bandaids over them (which protected the open spots from the domes at night) and once the rash went away, I never had any scars. The only time I had any problem at all with a rash is when the domes are new and very sticky (they pull on your skin when you remove them) and when I was lazy about using the nonstick prep wipes.
