    I've been using the NuFace Trinity for almost two and a half years now - just turned 71. I've been very happy with it. To be clear, it isn't a miracle worker. It also doesn't seem to have much effect on my wrinkles. It has, however, helped enormously with laxity just under my jowls, with a fold of skin that had developed between my eyes (now gone), and with some sagging in my cheeks that was causing the corners of my mouth to turn down, one side especially. It also helps with my eyelid sagging. It has a mild toning effect on the face muscles and gives my face a healthier color. The Trinity has five levels. It's not comfortable on my neck at the highest level so I use a lower level there and still get good results.
    I certainly agree that if you are looking for wrinkle elimination, there may be better at home devices, and that if you're very saggy, you won't get dramatic results from the NuFace - but, based on my experience and that of at least some over 50s, that doesn't mean it won't help you.

    I just got the nuface mini as it was highly recommended and Ulta had it on sale at a significantly reduced price. I told myself I could still return it. Since I’m 68 and while I’ve been wearing sunscreen since the 80’s I inherited my dad’s jowls. I thought I might be too late. My goal was 3 days on, one day off. I do have a cup of water to rehydrate the gel. I use it on high. Within 2 weeks the difference in my jowls is pretty dramatic, my turkey neck is improved. I find it rather meditative so it’s easy to keep at it. I bought it a week before Black Friday….. I love it!

    Hi Clare, I have used micro current for about 10 years now, & love it because it has always made me look youthful. I started with the Tua Viso & the Tua Trend which only need water without the gel. I love them, & still have them. The NuFace didn't do much for me, but I had both, along with the mini. I have the NRGY that's made from Truth treatments with both micro current & EMS, ( a bit strong, but effective. I purchased the Myolift QT & it is fast & easy to use, & it works. But recently I purchased the Halo Ziip & absolutely love it, & use it every other day. But my holy grail is the MiTama, which gives you an instant facial for at least 2 days. You just apply a sheet mask & place your electrodes on top & sit back & relax. I love it, & will never be without it!!!! I also purchased the Jane Mann Lift probe that you can attach to the MiTama, or the Myolift Qt or the Pico Tone, (which I don't have), And the Lift probe does a wonderful microcurrent job too! I also use the Omnilux LED mask daily alternating with the Qure, that only takes 3 minutes. Microcurrent & LED keeps me glowing!!!!

    I am one of the people who experienced facial fat loss from a microcurrent device. I used the Foreo Bear for about 2 years and my face became visibly flatter and hollower with every use. I thought it was lymph drainage at first. So continued using it (which was a big mistake!). I lost volume everywhere I used the device. I saw no benefits. No lifting, no toning, no improvement to skin texture. I had initially begun using it in my early 30s as a preventative measure as I was noticing the beginning of shadows in the jowel area. I was hoping for some lifting or slowing down of this getting worse. Needless to say, the opposite happened! I have also always had a very full, round face and it was like the device ate my face and completely changed my facial shape! My cheeks vanished. My buccal fat is gone and my temples are now deep and hollow. I went through 3 Bear devices and all 3 developed the same fault within a few months (the middle light not lighting up ypon skin contact - if this light is not on then the microcurrent is not conducting). And all three did give me little uncomfortable shocks at times. I used as directed. I have managed to rebuild my cheeks a little bit using Adipeau for 6 months, but it didn't work on any other areas of the face and my face has never been the same 2 years after discontinuing microcurrent. So, I would advise caution and say it does come with a risk of facial fat loss without seeing any benefits for some people. Until we understand why this is, it's a game of Russian Roulette with your face!

    I wasted money on the Nuface and I am really annoyed with myself!! I found it a total pain in the bum applying the gel and then using the device. I found it took longer than I had anticipated and it really annoyed my husband when I used it at night!!!! I gave it a go, religiously, for nearly a year, and saw no difference whatsoever!! So it now gathering dust!! I do love the CurrentBody LED mask that is so much easier to use - because I can get on with a few things around the house/or at work (from home!!!). I am interested in the new Maysama device, but I' wait til I see your interview with Bev first. These things are so flippin expensive and the research seems so scant that I often wonder if we are being sold a pig-in-a-poke!!!

    Hi Clare. Thank you so much for this video. I had the Foreo Bear and found myself not using it because I couldn’t just pick it up and use it. I always had to use the app and, if my phone was downstairs or in another room, I would often not bother. In theory, once you’ve downloaded and registered the Bear, and set it up on the app, you should be able to use the Bear without the app but it never worked for me. I bought the Ziip Halo and I love it. I, like you, do the 4 minute workout about 5 times a week. I find it comfortable and very ergonomic whereas the Foreo Bear was less comfortable to hold in my hand. Thank you for the cheaper, alternative conductor gels/serums too. Some of the branded ones are very expensive. Great video, as always. 😊

    Thank you so much. I did a lot of research before buying two different devices (one of which I gave to my 40 year old daughter). I mentioned this in comments back in December. The one I use and love is the Pico Toner. It is strong enough for the body. Not inexpensive, but it gives you some options. Case in point, the Pico Toner comes with metallic gloves, so no conductive gel is needed. You only need to wet the gloves. I purchased the options of the ANMA and wands, and for those items you do need to use a conductive gel. With the gloves, I can give myself a hand treatment while watching a movie with my husband. It is worth it just for what it has done with my hands! Now, as to your point about the skin/muscle jumping, you do not want this. With the Pico Toner, you can set the device at a low setting, and you can increase the power, as you need. Obviously, the thick knee skin will take a stronger power versus the delicate skin on the neck.

    A device very much like the NuFace came out in the 90s. I was working for a TV station at the time and sold the broadcast time for infomercials so I got one for free. I had some premature aging at the time (in my mid 30s) so I was keen to see if it helped. Tried it pretty religiously for almost a year and saw nothing in the way of improvement.

    I have been using a Nuface for decades now. I am not sure if it has maintained a lift or not. I guess I would have to stop using it for a while to see if there was a difference. On a rare occasion I may have felt a little bit occur but generally speaking I have never been bothered with the current as long as I use enough gel. My aesthetician told me that it was important to use a fair bit of gel. I buy ultrasound gel online in a large professional size container and so it is much cheaper.

Would you agree the Venus isn't needed with the other devices? It did nothing for morning puffiness, which was my reason for using it, so I may only be duplicating other treatments.

    Hi Clare, thanks for sharing your info in such a concise and clear way. Have you ever tried the Nuskin galvanic spa device? Nuskin was one of the first to come out with such devices and I think Nu Face piggybacked on their name. Nuskin is using galvanic currents. I am not sure what the big difference is, if any.

    This is so confusing to me. My plastic surgeon uses Botox to weaken the DAO and platysma muscles because he explained that these pull down and accelerate marionettes and sagging. I can’t imagine wanting to strengthen them to prevent aging. I also wonder if it would interfere with the effects of my Botox or counteract it entirely.

    • @thehonestchannel
      @thehonestchannel  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think you probably have to pick one of two routes. You’re working your muscles to strengthen them (this helps with both bone and skin health but you can still get new line formation) or you’re freezing and weakening them.

      I feel very cautious about RF because of the potential for fat loss.

From what I can tell from viewer feedback, most people seem to be fine with these devices but occasionally - and we don't know why - people report fat loss.

    What you are saying is a bit misleading. If device uses a microcurrent it does relax muscles, not doing the high intensity muscle exercise. Millicurrent can do it, and actually Foreo is a millicurrent device contrary to what the manufacturer declares. And whether either current can reduce the face fat - it’s a big question. Testing of any of these devices have been conducted on humans for any of action on anti aging, skin rejuvenation or even long time safety. And I am questioning it even more because it’s not difficult to do such a study. The studies you refer to are either on mices with unknown devise, strength and other parameters, and another is for wound healing - are we healing wounds? I am buying a ZIIP for swelling after surgery and my budget will not suffer even if it does nothing to my face and my plastic surgeon already did the rejuvenation job. He actually told me that nothing helps with face rejuvenation as 30 min work: oxygenation, blood circulation, limpharic drainage. And advised me not to waste money on only LED (unless it’s professional) or any other procedures or devices
