All EU-based postal services, including our Czech postal service have paused accepting US-bound shipments because no EU-based postal service has the IT infrastructure yet in place to comply with the sudden tariff-related requirements (link to the letter our postal service sent us.) Translated:
Based on the new executive order of the US President, the “de minimis” duty-free regime for all postal shipments with a value of zero to 800 USD imported into the USA is being canceled with effect from August 29, 2025. Fundamental issues and procedures, especially in the area of customs duty collection, specification of data collected and method of cooperation with US customs authorities, have not yet been clearly defined by the relevant US authorities. Partial technical details were published only on August 15, which left an extremely limited time for preparing the technical transfer of data to the US side, as well as for setting up the customs duty collection, which must be done when the sender submits the shipment. For this reason, it is not possible to ensure compliance with the requirements of the executive order at this time. For Czech Post customers, this means that from August 22, 2025 until further notice, the reception of shipments to the USA that contain merchandise will be suspended, regardless of their value.
We normally send around 50 packages/day to the US via our national Postal service to the tune of nearly two million dollars/year. Our customers overwhelmingly are in the United States. This issue is an absolute emergency for all EU-based online stores that sell mainly to the US and extremely inconvenient for those American customers. Because no one knows yet how long it will take for the postal service to implement an IT solution, we plan to start shipping to the US again via DHL, September 1 at the latest. We're already working on store integration and label & waybill printing. Another website with updates on this situation is here. A very comprehensive explanation is here. Our apologies for the inconvenience!Home » Creams, vitamins, serums, masks » Suction pump for tethered scars and acne scars
Hand pump that can produce 800 mBar underpressure in order to elevate tethered acne scars (the rolling type of acne scars) and depressed, tethered scars. Comes with four differently sized suction cups. Tree round, one oval.
HOW TO USE THE PUMP
The pump works in a very non-intuitive way:
1. Pull the plunger FULLY out
2. Push the suction cup onto the skin
3. While pushing, also push the plunger FULLY in (so PUSHING creates the vacuum!)
4. The pump must be **pushed** FULLY down to create the suction. The suction only gets created at the very last few mm.
Please do not suction too long - experiment with a few seconds only, first.
The pump works TOTALLY differently than a regular pump. This pump is the only one we found to actually work and work very well and have a good selection of cups so we chose it.
**** The suctioning procedure should be used AFTER dermastamping or single-needling. ****
Suctioning skin excessively long can cause temporary hematomas and blisters - so do a test patch first and gradually increase suction time and pressure to see how the skin will react. The study mentioned 12 suctionings of 4 seconds each per treatment - this should not cause any kind of (severe) bruising or blisters. However, the best results are associated with some bruising. See great results after 6 months.
This forum posting explains the suction method.
This medical study also explains the suction method, but replace subcision with intensive deep needling:

Spectacular improvement can be achieved, as seen in this forum thread on how to greatly improve acne scars with dermastamping and the suction method. The reason this works so well is due to the greatly increased blood serum perfusion into the needled scars.
The pump is not sterily packaged because this is not necessary. You can disinfect the suction cups with alcohol if you worry about infection, but disinfection is not required. The size of the smallest cup is not too large for very small scars, since the scar benefits from having blood pulled into its surroundings. In fact the cup always needs to be quite a bit larger than the scar to be treated, otherwise you need to do several treatments over the entire area.
