Let me begin by saying that I've used this system for a couple weeks now and experienced the same issues as other reviewers, mainly a loss of suction. When I noticed a marked loss of suction during the third session after a tip change, there was a moment of mild dispair before I took a deep breath and started trouble shooting.The first thing I checked was that the white sealing ring (rubber band) was still in place and the tip made good contact with it all the way around. The filter was fully on so debris should not have been sucked into the system. Next, I took a close look at the tips. There was a layer of removed skin cells on the inside of the tip. I suspected that was keeping the sealing ring from making a good seal against the tip. I blew out the tip and cleaned the inside of the tip with my little finger where it would make contact against the sealing ring. Issue resolved!!! Now I clean the tips in this manner every time I change them and the suction has been steady ever since.The next question is 'Does this really work?' The answer I have so far is that my skin is definately feeling softer and I'm also noticing better skin tone. Skin tone has been a particular concern to me because while losing weight I've also been losing the fat in my face that filled out the wrikles and plumped my cheeks and jaw line - so in my mind I was looking like a wrinkled, droopy, skinnier person.The system may seem a little pricey but figure there will be cost saving in the future by fixing the wrinkles and skin tone now and not have to buy the expensive creams and lotions to mask/plump-up wrinkles on an on-going basis later.
