AGE R Device Discussion - Microcurrent or EMS?

  • Today on Beauty Beyond 40, a discussion about the Age R device from Korean company, Medicube. This device is marketed as an FDA-cleared microcurrent device when it is in fact only FDA registered and an EMS device. Do you agree with the points I made in this video? As I mentioned in the video, I'm not a doctor, nor a dermatologist, nor an esthetician, so I welcome feedback on the points I've covered in this video.

    I live here in South Korea and this device is like a staple product here. Clinics use them when you go get 5 star facial and face care and results are phenomenal. Use it as it’s intended for. As for the teeth sensation, it’s not dangerous. All doctors, nurses and estheticians have different POVs. I will say the Korean beauty is #1 for a reason and I’ve seen 50 year old women NO JOKE look 20. They’re on point. That being said, you have the same doctors say fillers and Botox are good, now they’re saying it’s aging you more.

      It is now called the EMS shot. I love it. This video gave me palpitations so I could not finish it. I was curious to see what she had to say since it popped up on my recommended. I felt like she was just venting so I went to the comment section instead😅. Personally, I read up on ems before buying it and read up on microcurrent before buying the nuface a couple of years ago. The nuface did nothing. The Medicube has lifted my jowls after 3 months of use. So having read the pros and cons of both modalities and making an informed decision to buy the EMS, I’m happy with my decision and my results.

    Thank you for being so open and honest, Trina. I trust your opinion on beauty products because I see that you consistently isolate the use of devices before giving your opinion on them. It's very scary that people could be using products with misinformation and possibly permanently damage their skin and/or muscles. Thank you for first vetting any product you make videos about. ❤

    Thanks, Trina. My package from Medicube has been sitting in their box since it arrived a few weeks ago (!) and I'm finally getting it out, trying to read the small print in the brochure to figure out how to use it. I was in the middle of replying to their email asking what I thought about the products and thought I should look up what other influencers have reported. Thx for the update about it being an EMS device (I missed that on their box). I also have the EvenSkyn Lumo and got a lot of benefit from the EMS mode on it for my chin and neck area. I didn't know until this video that you can't use the EMS mode on devices.

  • @brooke2712

    I am 54 years old and I have been using the Tua Trend EMS device for 11 years now. I used my instinct when I started using it. I have been lifting weights since I was 26- six days a week so EMS seem to fit the bill for me. It made since. If I am working my body muscles six days a week - why not work my face muscles. I also have an identical twin sister who does not use the device. My face looks younger than hers - I had not heard the info on ATP regarding the EMS treatments. I am sure there is validity to that - I am not sure what to think about any of this now.. I have had better results with ems than micro current. My last caveat is that when I use my ems device - I do it quickly- literally go over each area quickly and I only do a couple times a week or when I am going out - I use it in place of makeup. - I guess I would have to show pics to make my point. And I have tried tons of devices as well. I would say my ems device and my joovv machine have been the best for me. I only wear eye makeup now. I guess I could go on on or make a video and start reviewing products. But I am modest and don't want my face out on the internet. BTW I do love you reviews!!

    I am so glad I had found and clicked on your video. I had bought this months ago and had not used it yet because the gel it came along with had irritated my skin. I’ve finally been looking into finding an alternative and doing research. So I went back to the website in order to remember what type of modality it is, just in case the type of gel would work based on that. Only to see it no longer said anything about micro current modalities as it did before. Then I found your video after watching so many, now realizing why it now said EMF. I watch Cassandra on the regular and naively decided to ignore her occasional skincare bias, hypocrisy, contradictory statements, and shame/scare tactics which were honestly huge red flags. However, watching you explain and point things out made me see how detrimental that can actually be. Especially when I’ve now realized how much I’ve been ignorantly influenced (thinking I wasn’t easily so) not only by her but other skin "experts" here on UA-cam. Thank you.

I’m glad I’m not the only one questioning this company. Highly educated consumers must stick together and demand better.

      I too was trying to dig deeper on the same product you mention. They claim to use ultrasound and “high frequency”… but I couldn’t figure out what kind of “high frequency”… radio frequency? Light frequency? Plus other questions. I’ve emailed them for answers. I also wanted to know if the device would melt facial fat. I asked if it was possible to read the result of their study…They did reply that they would find out and get back to me. Waiting for a reply… as I search around the web seems like there’s a big marketing push going on now. We’ll see if they respond to me.

    They are both electrocurrent devices, EMS is just stronger than micro current. I read it is best to use EMS on larger parts of the body and when it comes to the face, in the lower areas like the jaw, where there is firmer skin. It is intended to firm the body and jaw.It is used for muscle atrophy around the jaw area. Micro current is better for areas of the face that have thinner skin, like around the eyes, it would be bad to use something stronger here..both of these devices are electo current, one is just stronger then the other and hits deeper muscles, both have specific regions they should be used on.

      @@horriblekitty13 while that’s a common thing I hear online as well, there’s just no evidence to support that. You’re totally welcome to do it with another tool or device if you prefer that but it would actually be counter productive for microcurrent specifically as it’s all about the placement of each muscle. Not all your muscles are placed vertically and if you look at microcurrent pioneer Dr Wing’s original work, it’s actually about the original and insertion of the muscle and where they connect to the tendon.

    Thank you for bringing up this touchy and confusing subject. It needed to be said. I can't use EMS because it hurts my teeth, but I have no trouble with real microcurrent. I'm one of the people that feels fleeced by Cassandra's promotion. I now have a $180 device I can't use.
    I'm really disappointed in Cassandra with her misinformation or misunderstanding of this device.
    I'm also not thrilled with the rest of the Medicube skincare, or their sister company Aprilskin, but that's another rant. These companies overhype their products.
    I think they are leveraging marketing buzzwords to generate sales, it's not a translation or language issue. It's not like it's hard to find a language translator.

Thank you Trina for including integrity in your content and pointing these things out! I will now be more cautious about who I am listening to .

However, I own this device and to me it feels like EMS with microcurrent especially on my forehead, I feel the same tingling that I feel when I use the Bear on my forehead. So I just assumed that it had both modalities and that’s why Cassandra was calling it microcurrent. I bought it because Darcy from a Brazilian Girl channel recommended it for the jaw line. She said it was the best thing she had ever tried on her jaw line.

    Hi, I'm a licensed Esthetician and Instructor. I agree with what your saying 100% about not using it on the throat, especially on the tyroid and chest, really dangerous and unhealthy. Also the woman on the video you posted has no idea how to use the device, and is clearly giving ppl bad advice. You can tell that is not LED light therapy #1 LED doesn't emit light like that or looks like that. #2 if it was LED it would have a separate button/mode for it. I'm happy that you confirmed that with the company. It could be a language barrier on the whole marketing but it could also be just a marketing tactic 🤷‍♀️. But whichever it is they should correct it.

    Is it bad when muscle depleted ATP? What is the adverse side effect? Is it reversible? I just ordered one before i saw this video. 😮 I do have teeth aching when using electric stimulation in beauty saloon yet i am uncertain which type of electric current was it. Btw, is there any way to avoid /reduce the teeth sensation?

    What made md read the comments on Cassandras video, which then led me here, was my confusion of her contradiction. She did a micro current video in the past that properly showed how to use it, what microcurrent is, that you should NEVER feel it and how it shouldn't be used on the front of your neck due to thyroid. Then she did this new one and her technique and language changed. It feels scammy and I was very happy to see your post.
    I'm going to sub.

    Glad that I watched your video before ordering this device. Actually I had tried their skincare products before but didn’t feel any changes. Just thought it may be worth another try coz quite many videos claim that it’s useful. In fact, this company spends WAY TOO MUCH money on marketing. I’m from Hong Kong and I see Medicube’s ads on Instagram from time to time. I think that’s what makes them so ‘successful’, while the actual effect of their products is SO questionable.

    Hi Trina, , I just got the device, and what is very strange for me is that I don't feel discomfort at the highest setting, only a slight muscle contraction, as you can see in your video, even though you show it in the slightest. Shouldn't it be stronger to feel my facial muscles tighten? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much

    I notice micro current being used for ems by many Asian companies and hi frequency as RF as well and I do believe that it’s a translation issue. I would trust euro standards long before FDA having been in pharmaceutical research for 20+ years. FDA cleared really doesn’t mean what many ppl think it does. FDA approved is wildly different from cleared.
    Regarding EMS and this device in particular. I am 55, very fair skinned and was teased horribly about being pale so I shunned sunscreen and lived in tanning beds. I grew up rather poor. Had no knowledge of skin care. My mom got the pink oil of Olay lotion for Christmas every year as it was a luxury item at $5 a bottle. I washed my face with dial soap and (not joking about this) bought my first skin care at age 32! I have a lot of premature aging also because of post menopausal and can’t take estrogen replacement. For my skin, the level of damage and sag and wrinkles etc, this device is amazing. I added it after I had already started myolift and tripolar and led therapy and I’ve never not been happy about it. When I use it right after I do my tripolar and I find that to be a fantastic results night. That said, if you have relatively firm skin already I don’t know if this tool will show you much. Most of there before and afters are on pretty heavy jowls and heavy sagging and double chins and the like. Yes it hurts my teeth but as the old adage goes, pride hath no pain. I do think it’s a great device for some people. I don’t use it every day because it will deplete atp and I do micro current between uses to continue to produce atp. I honestly think any of these devices require users to research and understand methods of action and am extremely grateful for all the info you provide. Agree that tutorial is filled with disinformation and should not even exist. Just a note on led light therapy. It’s not the size of the light but the frequency and irradiance of the light that determines effectiveness. The issue with the light on devices like this is time of exposure. Not saying there can’t be some benefit but exposure time will never equal a mask or panel. Thanks for all you do to inform us!

    I do not believe it is a language better. I believe it is a very intentional marketing scam.
    Also, I had seen Cassandra's video and was very disappointed in how she heavily talked down on facial yoga (by using random scams as an example?!) and making the Age R device sound amazing when all it does is twitch your muscles which doesn't seem too different from "facial massaging" which, like you said, she makes fun of.

    Trina, such a good video. This is truly unbelievable, the company and Cassandra's video. I'm really shocked as she says she is an esthetician. How would she not know this? I agree with you about Face Yoga as well. I'm glad you are getting this information out. ❤️🙏 There is a huge question with many viewers regarding the difference between EMS and Microcurrent and which is better. Many think because EMS stimulates the muscle therefore it is better, however EMS, from my understanding was developed for muscle stimulation in the arms and legs for muscle recovery and worked well on larger muscle groups. The face muscles are much smaller and using EMS on the face can overstimulate the muscle causing ATP to deplete. I don't personally recommend it on the face unless a person has advanced signs of aging in the lower part of the face. I've had women say that it has helped sagging jowls. But again I'd be careful. My own thoughts and am not an expert just another skincare junkie! ❤️🙏

    • @Sarah-pz9ee
      @Sarah-pz9ee 2 роки тому +5

      I can only talk about the company but the company does say EMS, it just was missed. I have this product. It says on the front page of the instructions of the lower left Derma EMS Shot and the medicube site has in the product description.
      "How does facial EMS work?"
      Among various methods of treatment using electrical current (Galvanic current, Microcurrent, and EMS - all commonly often referred to as microcurrent), EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) utilizes electrical currents of reverse polarity to stimulate inner muscles and help them relax & contract."

  • @broken_rebirth
    @broken_rebirth Рік тому +5

    Personally I did some research about what the device really is as I have a microcurrent device and wanted something to pair with it. I definately feel it works, especially if your problem is not using your facial muscles enough (you're stoic), if you're look to relax your face to relax muscle that cause fine lines, to drain fluid from the face, and improve skin quality and absorption of product. I haven't used it enough to see collagen and elastin improvement but i'm also 36 yrs old and already have amazing skin--I have a main concern of facial tension causing migraines and fine lines, as well as facial puffiness dragging my face down. But I agree that I find their wording could be more clear. It's likely they are in the lengthy process of getting it approved but as with anything the paperwork takes a while so they want ot sell more, now, rather than be honest and say we are waiting on our approval for FDA regulation. I do want to throw out there that just because something is FDA regulated doesn't mean it's good for you. Think of all the preservatives in our food that are FDA regulated, all of the medications we take that could potentially kill us due to horrific side effects. I think it's more important to have validation that their device does what it says, so you understand the science and YOUR risks so you can make an informed decision. What bothers me is the no return policy on open items. Even s3x toy shops have return policies. They do invite you to leave reviews openly and I will leave one once I've used this for a good six months.
    Overall I do agree with your points because it is a safety hazard if you cannot use a microcurrent or EMS device and they are not marketing it in clear language and the person you're referencing should have her video edited because of miss information.

      I see on the global website on the product listing multiple times that it mentions this is an EMS device…I’m not sure if they had changed it since this video was made, but if the listing hasn’t changed since this video was made, it’s confusing me when I don’t see it being advertised as a micro current device. 🧐 I don’t know who Cassandra is, but it’s always better for people to research products in depth instead of taking the words of one person as the sole truth... I can understand the other frustrations mentioned though

    Yes, thank you! I've been putting in DAYS of research to understand all the different devices available and what they do. The thing I've had the worst time with is finding out about EMS vs microcurrent. I get the difference, but it's impossible to research all these devices when they use microcurrent as a blanket term for both kinds. I even tried to look up specific current amounts, like is microcurrent up to a certain strength and then its considered EMS...It's been a nightmare, I'm exhausted. Thank you for your help, your videos are VERY helpful. I trust you know what you're talking about and that you're thorough, and I appreciate you so much. As far as this device goes, I was considering buying one, but I'm very put off by all the lying the company has done. I'm so glad I found out now.

    Watching Cassandra using this powerful device and pulling it down instead of up Makes me question her knowledge?!

I can't help but, think Cassandra does take the piss out of the other channels and for some reason she thinks she is allowed to do so?!
    The reason I'm here is that I trust you and I had a few concerns and questions about this device as I saw another influencer using it and it looked extremely strong and watching her facial muscles moving the way they did...!!!??
    Thank you very much for answering my questions and making things clear for me.
