@@winko567 Hey!! That's definitely something I want to do in the future, but I'll have to keep using it consecutively for a while, because of my job I'm challenged to try a lot of new tools and to see *real* results from them, I have to use them exclusively, So I was testing out microneedling after this and wanted to see how that worked on its own, and took a break from the solawave.
I've had mine for a while and I like it. Has reduced my fine lines at 38. But the other day I tried to use it on my boyfriend's face and it wouldn't work. I put it to my face, it turns on. I then put it in his face and nothing happens. We tried for several minutes in all different positions. Then I put the wand on his right cheek and put my hand on his left cheek and it started working! So basically I've concluded that my bf is not human and Solawave has saved me from marrying an alien who might kidnap me for human experiments. Thanks Solawave 😂
I’m so proud for you. Brains, Beaty and guts! I’m quite a bit older (69 in oct) unfortunately started aging at age 38, due to lupus) so I can see the difference even at my age. So you are doing a great job with reinforcing my beautify routine which are hit and miss. I do the Opatra mask on the face along with LUMINA Mini Glow, then if I have time I get the big guns out and do the LUMINA Fat Iron. I did my own test with the Fat Iron on my left forearm and then my left hand woah what a difference. At my age I just don’t want to terrify people when I go out without makeup. It’s working!
33 here and never been into anti aging stuff but just ordered one of these last night and I'm so excited to get it now that I've seen your results. Got a good feeling
@grilledcheese actually returned it and got a mask cuz I was into the light more then anything and the size of the one on this little one I realize wasn't worth the price. I spent less on a face and neck mask at night just jade roll in the morning and it's working well, fine lines are less noticeable.
I love to use “Sunburnt” aloe Vera gel. Or any aloe gel on it’s own works just fine, I use with with the Clareblend Mini and that MAJOR micro current. Saves so much money, those gels are such a rip off lol I just get dye and chemical free pure aloe and it works flawlessly
Oh I'm super into this! I love getting facials but they're expensive and I've wanted to try a device like this but they're also so expensive! Thanks for such a thorough review!
I’m intrigued by this. Another great video! 🤗. Also great to see the constant increase in the slash squad members. I started following you around 45k and now look at you grow ❤️
So what I’ve been doing about the serum and keeping my face wet I try and make sure my face is wet before I apply it, Either with toner or I use La roche posay thermal water spray. But like you said my skin just sucks up the serum, so instead of wasting money reapply which is what I was doing initially, I will just respray it with the thermal water periodically just to get the gel wet.. idk if that’s the correct way by scientific standards but it has been working for me so far.
I bought this last year on a whim cause I'm a facial devices junkie!! I have other microcurrent devices so I don't rely on it for that. I don't use it after my skincare though as I always wash off the gel before applying any skincare. I do apply the Solawave serum and use the device and then wash my face....
Hi, Miranda, great to see you again ❤ Really interesting video, thanks! That would be intriguing to follow the impact of this product during the months , just to see any kind of progress , it seems not bad at all 👍😊⚘
So you CAN for 3/4 of the benefits but the microcurrent specifically needs conductive serum to penetrate the skin (like you need ultrasound gel for ultrasound).
Great video! Where did you find information about not using the device on the throat? I haven’t read anything that suggests it will activate the thyroid. Thanks (:
A ton of sites I read when I first got started plus other TH-cam videos talking about it-- if you google "Microcurrent over throat" you'll find some reading on it!
I always have a hard time believing people truly see a difference with this tiny devise because red light needs to sit on the skin and not keep moving it and microcurrent is cool but you need to continue use to keep seeing results otherwise you lose the small results you get. I always just suggest saving your money and getting a true red light mask if it’s something you really want in your routine.
Safe to use on the neck not just right over that area -- www.7ewellness.com/blogs/infuse-your-spa/safety-tip-microcurrent-facials-and-thyroid -- this is from a brand that makes very popular more clinical microcurrent devices.
Very informative thank you. You mention that you cannot use retinol in the same session. Does this mean that retinol cannot be used directly afterwards? I'm trying to add it to my night time routine. Can I use Skinceuticals B5 serum as a conductor? Can I use Skinceuticals C E ferulic before i use the solar wand as part of my morning routine? Thank you xx
I’m not 100% sure about using it after, I believe that would be okay - you can try it and see how your skin does. Vitamin C is fine ahead of time- as far as conductiveness it would have to be oil free.
Definitely! I’m only 28 but I’ve always been told prevention is better than trying to reverse! Plus you can benefit from the other features as well for bright and glowy, clearer skin!
The serum you recommended doesn’t have aloe does it? Is it the same effect as solawave’s own serum? Thanks … how much can one last call their own serum? Thanks!
No, the NuFace one doesn't have aloe but it has hyaluronic acid. I'm moreso using it for the conductivity to get the microcurrent to work versus the benefits of the serum itself, and the NuFace one will last you much longer since it comes with more and you don't need as much for one treatment! Both serums give hydrating and plumping effects.
Yes, but that gets expensive. I have the Foreo Bear Mini and I can use water mist to “re-hydrate” the serum so I don’t need to keep using more. This is probably also the case with this device and its serum.
So if I use argireline solution and mayrixly should I wait 30 mins then use the conduction oil and machine? (Sorry if that doesn’t make sense) thank you
The microcurrent aspect won’t work as well. You’ll get the other benefits but considering the microcurrent is kinda the star of the show I would recommend getting the cheaper gel I talk about- it’ll last you a long time. It’s kinda the same idea as ultrasound gel, it’s helping get those waves into your skin
Hey! So I did recently try the Foreo Bear which I like, I think it depends if you also want the red light therapy which I believe helped with acne. The Foreo Bear has a stronger strength for microcurrent though so if that's what you're buying it for and you're already considering it, that may be the way to go. Though this is more travel friendly, etc. Each has its pros and cons!
Still a great entry level purchase into microcurrent or multi-use tool. I do have a coupon code though if you buy it from their site for 15% off! (SlashedBeauty)
I've heard mixed advice about aloe gel-- some dermatologists (not tied to a microcurrent brand) have said they don't work as well to conduct the microcurrent.
We recommend hyaluronic acid with aloe. We are happy to recommend alternatives if people prefer to use a different product than our serum :) @Rebecca curious what research you’re pointing to? We have hundreds of customer testimonials, before and afters, clinical studies, etc.
@@melanierose6599 Hi Melanie, it can! It definitely helps with under eye bags, and depending on the root of the dark circles, it may help with those too. We recommend trying the wand and seeing for yourself-if you don't love it, you can return it for your money back within 30 days :)
the throat and chest warning is utter bs. omnilux mask has throat and chest panels. panel red light therapy (red and nir) will also shine on your throat and chest.
I just looked up the product you mentioned and that’s red light therapy only. The issue here is microcurrent over the throat may cause thyroid issues due to the electrical current stimulating muscles. Here’s more info on that: www.7ewellness.com/blogs/infuse-your-spa/safety-tip-microcurrent-facials-and-thyroid

LMAO!!! Maybe his face was oily??
Haha Omg that’s so weird
Hey ! Did you notice fine line reduction for the under eye as well ? And maybe firmer skin there ?
I love your inclusion of not going over your throat to avoid thyroid problems!
Gotta get all the important info in there!!

Thanks for stopping by, Katy! Yes, I'm excited to see the results as time goes on!
I’m confused about this - it says to use on clean dry skin but then it says to use it with a serum? Can’t I just use my own serum?
So you CAN for 3/4 of the benefits but the microcurrent specifically needs conductive serum to penetrate the skin (like you need ultrasound gel for ultrasound).

A ton of sites I read when I first got started plus other TH-cam videos talking about it-- if you google "Microcurrent over throat" you'll find some reading on it!
I’m getting different answers about how long to do this on each area of your face? Minutes wise?
I appreciate all the info, tips and honesty about the product. How often can one use this though? Everyday?
Yep! 10 min everyday they say on their website
Hi, On the Noface website it says that the gel primer has been discontinued. Please, is there any other gel you are using? Any recommendation ? Thanks
I use the medicube gel. You get 2 for 30

Glad it was helpful!
How hard to press? I’m waiting on my order, thank you for all your help, great video ❤🇦🇺
Don't press too hard, you shouldn't be pushing around the skin, just firmly glide it without pulling at your face if that makes sense!
@@slashedbeauty that makes perfect sense ☺️ thanks
You deserve more subscribers 🌅
Thank you so much, Raquel!!
As for the conductive gel for the microcurrent to work, what makes it conductive? Or can I just use any gel/serum that stays on the skin long enough?
An alternative can be aloe vera gel but stay away from oil-based products/serums.
Thank you so much for your video!
Glad it was helpful!

I agree!! lol
Do you think someone in their early 20’s can use this for prevention or is it too strong?
Definitely! I’m only 28 but I’ve always been told prevention is better than trying to reverse! Plus you can benefit from the other features as well for bright and glowy, clearer skin!
I love this review! Thank you!
Quick question! I’m wondering if I use this at night if I can still use my night moisturizer after? Hope someone knows the answer to this ☺️
Yep 😌 It's just important not to put actives (ie retinol) on beforehand
The serum you recommended doesn’t have aloe does it? Is it the same effect as solawave’s own serum? Thanks … how much can one last call their own serum? Thanks!
No, the NuFace one doesn't have aloe but it has hyaluronic acid.

Could you review the medicube ems shot?
Have you tried Nuface ? I would love to see your review 😊
Nope, just their serums-- not the device.
Do you have to have your face consistently wet with serum while you use the wand? Is it ok if it dries and seeps into your skin while using the wand?
It should be consistently wet so the tool glided and the microcurrent can be passed into the skin via the conductive serum 😁
Yes, but that gets expensive. I have the Foreo Bear Mini and I can use water mist to “re-hydrate” the serum so I don’t need to keep using more. This is probably also the case with this device and its serum.
So if I use argireline solution and mayrixly should I wait 30 mins then use the conduction oil and machine? (Sorry if that doesn’t make sense) thank you
I would either use it in alternating routines (one at night, one in morning) or alternating days.

Thanks for sharing. Live your videos. I just subscribed. 😀 I just bought one. Wish me luck
Thanks for subscribing!! I hope you like it, it's been a really nice tool to have as part of my skin care routine!
Will this work without the conductive serum? I wanted to just use the serum I already have.

Still a great entry level purchase into microcurrent or multi-use tool. I do have a coupon code though if you buy it from their site for 15% off! (SlashedBeauty)
How about the device that matches the cheaper serum. I'm older and may need a device that works a little harder.🤷
I haven’t personally tried it but have only heard good things!
What device would that be?
Yes just what I needed I'm too poor to afford Botox!!
Same and I've just seen so many botched injections even from friends where I'm not into that risk lol
Tried and it stretched the skin. Not good. Perhaps leave on for a minute instead of moving the light.
It shouldn't tug at the skin if you have enough serum on. The product should be pretty thickly applied so that it glides.
I just checked the price and now the wand is $250 😢
It’s $179 and you get an free extra one and free shipping
I didn't realize how expensive this was and I found mine at a Burlington store for $12.99 😮
wery niceeeeee
Do you apply moisturizer after you use it
I usually do my moisturizer/spf. The gel is quite moisturizing on its own too though
My wife thanks you for the reply
You need conductive gel??? Oh damn I ordered one don’t think I got that
@@hithere2697 Yes, it helps direct the waves into the skin. I'd suggest the cheaper one I mentioned from Ulta.
