The Shopping Channel ("TSC") is a Canadian English language cable television home shopping channel. TSC is a division of Rogers Media. The channel is headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario.

Before the end of the final show, DermaWand had sold out of all 1,200 units TSC had loaded to sell that day. This was the first live television home shopping appearance for DermaWand in North America since the first half of 2013.
ICTV has been marketing DermaWand in Canada since September 2013. Direct Response Television ("DRTV") sales for DermaWand in Canada were approximately $1.1 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

We are thrilled with the recent sellout for DermaWand on TSC and I believe DermaWand is poised for a big year on live home shopping in Canada. We are also currently negotiating to bring DermaWand back on live television in the United States, and I am very optimistic we will be able to achieve that goal in 2015."
