LOVE LOVE LOVE the valuable information you provided, and the hilarious way you deliver it! Thank you. Do you know of any sites which have the medicbue age r in stock, and authentic ones? I went to order the medicube age r device, but they are sold out on the official site. Amazon had some negative reviews regarding the item on amazon being a fake, and to get it directly from the manufacturer. Also, that the manufacturer will not cover defective medicube products if purchased on amazon.
Just a word of warning - I experienced significant facial fat loss from using the Foreo Bear microcurrent device. Used as directed over approx 1 year. Volume loss has had a very prematurely ageing effect that has left me depressed (as I am only mid-thirties!). ZERO lift, ZERO collagen induction/reduction in fine likes/wrinkles, ZERO improvement of skin texture. Zero benefit essentially! Just flattened my face. Destroyed the fat in the buccal area, which has left me looking gaunt and increased the beginnings of sagging around the life. 1 year since discontinuing use and no fat has returned. Might not happen to everyone, but it's worth being aware that it is a risk that the manufacturers won't warn you about!
When I turned 50, I decided to add some devices to my regimen. I use my FOREO Bear in the AM every day and my Mito IR Light panel every night. I have definitely noticed a change for the better; my skin is smoother, fine lines are diminishing, hyperpigmentation is diminishing, and the most unexpected but much desired effect: My upper lip has seemed to have stopped the age related thinning that had started. You definitely have to commit to using your devices on a strict schedule. Otherwise, you waste your money. Oh yes, I use a green tea serum before I use my MITO IR light panel too.
Yes please re gels. Also can you use things like La Roche -Posay Thermal Spring Water with the gel. I spray it as I’m using my Nu Face helps it glide better. 🤷♀️
I LOVE that you love the Myolift Mini! Best most accurate MC device, period and I love that it has 2 wands plus the eye, forehead and lip masks are amazing 🙌🫶
The solawave wand is actually a galvanic current! Not the same as micro-current in terms of ATP stimulation, but it does help to move products deeper into the skin :)
I prefer to use a very basic gel and add actives from skincare companies I already know and trust. Aloe Vera has been shown not to work very well as a conductor. unfortunately.
I have the medi cube and I love it!! And customer service is absolutely awesome!! Mine suddenly stopped working- I called customer service, and not only did they send me a self-addressed box to send it back, they sent me another brand new Medi-cube, complete with more free products. I can’t say enough good things about this company. And..the gel is wonderful, packed with all the good ingredients😊
Was about to grab one of these and then watched a Doctorly video where Dr Shah said there have been zero studies backing up the efficacy of microcurrent for anti-aging. Highly recommend watching it!
MC devices aren't proven to be useless, they are just only proven to help as long as u stay consistent + obviously if the signs of aging u r trying to combat come mostly from bone loss and on top of that u experienced a significant facial fat loss it can be not enough to have striking results. Regardless it cooould be stimulating collagen production(not yet established w certainty) & it definitely does a good job of stimulating muscles which makes facial muscle deterioration less apparent and can visibly fill up some of that muscle loss + since it's a massage tool it aids in lymph drainage. Def not for everyone and not the most life-changing but nice to have. For "life-changing" effects there are other treatments
There is never any evidence until people have been using things for a while! And by evidence it has to be a peer reviewed study published in an accredited journal. I can just imagine all those scientists madly begging for funding to do a study on any of these devices 😆
Cassandra - I despise that all these companies sell their own gels that I know they did not create! Please teach us to be free from brand loyalty to gels, which are merely a delivery system for current because you can use actives right after the treatments and still get as much absorption as during.
I just got the Solawave, my bestie had AMAZING results in 30 days of use. I was asking if I need the gel. She said 'I didn't buy the gel, I just used hyaluronic acid and my skincare routine.' I can tell you, her postpartum butterfly mask is GONE. Dark circles, GONE. Fine lines, GONE. Skin is glowing pores look smaller. I RAN.
Yes, yes! A gel video, please! By the way, I just bought myself a FOREO Bear last week and I can already see a difference on my 52 YO skin. You need to know some tips like a double click will turn on or turn off the TSonic and that the device will work without the app but only when both balls touch the skin. After that, you don’t need the app and can go freestyle.
Yes please. I know many of us would benefit from a separate video on all the different conductive gels, etc. that we can use for micro current device’s. I’ve had the Zip for a few years. I’m a dry dry skinned person. Yet I’m always open to opinions.
interesting review..I find Forero Bear mini to be superior to Nuface. The trick is to stay with it for at least 2 months at only 3 minutes a day. The beauty is it dosen't shock you it delievrs results.And you don't have to recharge the device until 90 uses
Hey there Cassandra! I've been using the Solawave for a little over a month now. It's made my deep-seated lion's wrinkle disappear in 2 weeks (I've had it for 20 years, since being a teen frowning all the time because I refused to wear my glasses). Thanks for the thorough reviews, I'll check the other devices.
I am happy to know it has helped you so much already. I used it a few times under my eyes since I got it a few days ago but it made the under eye area so sensitive that I can't even touch it. Maybe I need more of a lubricating gel than the toner I am using.
Hey @@monab9080 ! Sorry to hear that. I take it you haven't purchased their activating serum? Or used an aloe/water based one prior to using the wand? It really does help create a slip which would probably prevent the tearing of the skin.
I'm a beauty and laser therapist, and I would just recommend some of the more powerful settings and professional machines that people look up a chart of muscle facial anatomy. Just as when I was training, I saw a few mishaps with people stimulating the muscles in an incorrect procedure. (Example pulling the muscles down instead of up) Like I rate this over botox and filler as it's not as invasive (it does wear off after a week or two if not done regularly) Also, you can grab conducter gel in big 2L bottles from beauty supply stores. I did have one many years ago that was very powerful and as such you couldn't wear any jewellery while using it also had to make sure you had no metal present in the body ( I think as it was also an ion and galvanic all in one machine) But maybe also be careful with that?
I understand that not all micro currents are EMS . The Medicube is an EMS whilst the NuFace, Ziip and Myolift are not. EMS depletes ATP whilst the micro currents like NuFace, Ziip and Myolift actually increases ATP. Can you please address this?
I hope one day you can make a video in where you talk about , why in some people, LED light make the dark spots gets darker...Hope this topic interest you.!. You look beautiful, as always, Thanks for the great video...Happy New year!.
Thanks for covering this topic, it's a difficult item to shop for confidently. When looking for devices of this kind of Amazon I noticed there's a LOT of bullshit. I notice there are many that are priced in the "too good to be true" range and somehow have an excellent rating. When I actually looked at the reviews that are supposed to reflect the excellent rating, there are far fewer reviews than ratings, for one, and most of them don't at all sound like they're for the product listed....in fact, not even for the same type of product at all. So buyer beware!
May I say you do an outstanding job you don’t drag it out to give the good information you ask questions you answer questions that haven’t even been asked. Bravo and thank you.❤
I was told that the twitching with these products is actually not good as it’s decreasing ATP when that happens so you are actually degrading the muscles instead of strengthening and lifting 🤷♀️ I have several of these devices and always make sure that there is no twitching or I’ll lower the intensity. I think even the myolift instructions state this 🤷♀️
Great review. I so appreciate an honest review. Unfortunately my NuFace Trinity is no longer working after 4 years, which is disappointing. It turns on, but I can no longer feel any current on bare skin. I took great care of it as well. I read other similar complaints. Something to keep in mind, considering the price. Having said this, I was happy with the NuFace. It did no cause fat loss as others have mentioned, and I am on the thin side.
omg, you are the absolute best. Love the way you gave a visual summary at the end:) Ty for giving such a balanced and insightful review, I always learn so much when watching your videos!
THANK YOU FOR THESE REVIEWS! Next, I shall purchase the Medicube EMS Microcurrent Device! I just found & purchased my NEW IN-BOX NUFACE W/ ATTACHMENTS FOR 265.00! I received it in the mail today & ordered from EB*ay & YES IT IS AUTHENTIC. All new in box w/ all of the bar codes & dates (was made in April of 2022 & Expires in Dec of 2025!). Eb*ay promises & delivers IF something purchased is not authentic or as described. $265 vs. $500+ = I am so excited & happy.
Just got the Myolift QT+ for Christmas. Enjoying it so far! I was concerned because it uses an app, (and I thought I’d hate that) but it’s really easy-peasy. It appeals to my skintellectual side because it has a lot of the bells and whistles of the mini, but without having to manipulate two probes simultaneously.
What does my dermatologist think about skincare tools like solawave, gua sha and others? "Use spf every day, antioxidants, retinol and staying hydrated, dear" 🤷🏻♀️😁
I would love a video on the different gels. For christmas I got myself the Nuface and the Nebulyft and I love them. Thank you soooo much casandra!!! Have a Fabulous New Year 2023!!!
I got foreo Bear as a gift about a year ago. I like using it - only a couple of minutes and I always use it in the morning (gives me a boost). I have tried NuFace and it just didn't work for me, so I looked other devices up and saw that the Bear has an anti shock system. The decision was made, but I find it to be effective and easy to use
@@l.a.3541 Ok, I have decided to buy foreo Bear, but I wanted to know which size to choose and you just helped me - I'll go for the regular size. It has an anti shock system too!
Great video. Couple of questions tho: a) are there any counter indications? (E.g., skin conditions - rosacea and sensitive skin, medical conditions like fibromyalgia, etc.), b) what are the risks of using these devices long term? Can they cause overstimulation of facial nerves? Thank you 🙏
I had no idea! I'm now WTF Solawave has microcurrent?! Yeah, no. After hearing Cassandra talk about it (prior video), I bought it for spot treatments and I love it!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about these facial tools. There are lots of facial tools and I'd love to try out them all, but for now I am pleased with the foreo bear and I think it's so cute, compact and powerful.
Hi Cassandra, a lot of influencers like beauty over 40 talked about how the medicube device is EMS and EMS actually depletes ATP and doesnt encourage ATP like microcurrent thus. Research has also shown that EMS is too harsh to be used on the face and though it slims your face quite immediately it may not be good for the long term. Could we get your thoughts on this? THanks
The depletion of ATP isn't a ton and can quite easily be topped back up with Microcurrent after an EMS treatment. You obviously dont use EMS on the face as frequently as you would Microcurrent. So the amount of ATP depletion due to EMS use isn't exactly going to be significant or be a cause for concern. I think there is too much misinformation on the depletion of ATP being an issue regarding EMS for the face, considering our body also reproduces and replenishes ATP by itself quiet quickly. I personally do EMS facials once a week and MC during the same week. I also go on the frontalis muscle at a low setting for an eye brow / lid lift.
EMS is not microcurrent it's a different modality. They are mutually exclusive. I'm tired of people calling EMS microcurrent, especially in advertising. EMS hurts my teeth a lot, microcurrent doesn't. That's important info for me to have when shopping for a device
I am so frustrated with NuFace because the metal surface on the balls and attachments wears off and becomes rough. The company would not stand behind their product. Will not repurchase and looking for a different device with different attachments. I do like the variety of attachments with NuFace.
As a Skintellectual who's been digging deep into microcurrent devices, Myolift was at the top of my list! And I'm so happy to see its at the top of yours too! I'll be purchasing soon.
How do you not know Solawave is microcurrent, it's listed on their site, and advertised as such. I'm beginning to reconsider no longer watching this channel. It's not the first time I noticed misinformation.
Myolift is the best! I have been using it for long time and its just awesome and yes I get rid off bad botox as well, it took about a month but it worked. My husband always tells me how great I look after I use it, I took a bit break because its bit annoying but 100% works and I need to use it again.
can you research and talk about facial fat loss with micro current and RF micro needling? i've avoided getting the nuface bc i heard it can make you lose facial volume over time. i want the new solawave wand (supposed to be better than OG) for red light therapy to stimulate collagen under my eyes (seeing age related volume loss under eye and it's stressing me out 😅 when i smile you can see my round cheeks form a separation from my under eyes) but i'm afraid of the micro/galvanic current (i've heard different ppl call it different things) melting my under eye fat. pls help! looking for the best way to stimulate my under eye volume loss!!
As mentioned above, please review the TheraFace PRO… Sounds like it can do it all in one, but I’m unsure if it actually works well doing it all. Thank you 🦋
My husband bought me one for Xmas. I had no idea it existed. So far I LOVE the cold attachment. I am trying the micro current head. I have a NuFace and LOVE IT so we’ll see. Just one the physical size attributes, I like my NuFace for my jaw line and neck, but the TheraFace for cheeks/forehead. I DON’T like the TheraFace gel. Trying out the LED. The percussive attachments are nice, I found it was wonderful on my sore hands- I used the heat attachment and the pointed percussive for an amazing massage that really helped the pain.
I LOVE my TheraFace PRO. My hubby got it for my for Christmas and I've been using it everyday. It acts like a PMD cleanser, has LED Light Therapy, Microcurrent, Cold/Hot Plates, and massages... all in just 1 device. Love it!
Omg…I just discovered u today and u are insane and I’m here for it. Funny and entertaining but also very knowledgeable. I’m just getting into all these devices thanks for the advice and tips.
Hi Cassandra! This video is a gem. Thanks for doing this. The one device I would love your opinion on is the Amiro. Apparently, it is both a micro current and an RF device. 🤷♀️
Hi Cassandra! Yes on the best serums and if they are really worth it? Because sometimes you have to wash your face afterwards. Also wanted to know your opinion on the one that you love that does EMS because another UA-camr said they’re studies that show that it decreases ATP, can you please please show some light on this? Thank you so much for your content 💕
I bought myself a gift during the last black Friday sales & snagged a great deal on a microcurrent device that comes with several attachments & gel included from MyoLift. I absolutely love it, but I need to work out a schedule for consist use. I would love a video about conductive gels. I'd also like a video about how to DIY a gel! Thanks!
For those considering buying Medicube: if you have metal implants in your teeth ( metal pins under crowns), I would not recommend using it. I tried it around my mouth- to lift the muscles- and felt like robocop! I could feel the electricity vibrating in my metal parts of teeth;) not a pleasant feeling. Hoping to get a refund.
@thesender6321 I got amalgam filings and OMG. It huts so bad!!! I was thinking it was the divice until I read this comment...😢 I'm still trying in my forehead .
Ziip gel is amazing, the ingredients amazing and it doesn't dry during treatment as any other microcurrent gel. And it's not supposed to absorb at all, you have to wash it off
I wouldn't mind a vid on gels that actually absorb. I work in medical and just use ultrasound gel. It gets annoying when I have to wash if off though, and that's the main thing keeping me from using it as often as I want. I find myself staring at it and going "I'm too tired to deal with the clean up right now."
I use the cheap ultrasound gel from Amazon and spray tap water to rewet if needed. I don't wash my face before using Myolift Mini. Afterward, I wash my face and continue with my skincare routine.
I would LOVE your review on the Truth Treatments NRGY device! It has micro-current and EMS.. I heard that it’s one of the most intense and powerful but would love to see your review! Also, yes to conductive gel reviews!, you da best! ❤
Ooh yes yes please do a video on gels! I have searched around for this kind of info and can't find it. I'd also love to know what you think of the Medicube Ussera Deep Shot. I got it based off your video on it. 😊 Hopefully I picked a good one. I do like Medicube's gel but it is so expensive. Cheaper options would be great!
If you have epilepsy, you don't wan't to use electricity to stimulate the brain as that will cause a seizure. I knew that and still purchased the mini Nuface when Ulta was having their big sale - it's still sitting here. I will try it and find out where I can use it as I'm not severe - be cautious.
LOVED this video! For sure needs a followup gel review! Also please do one on Theraface Pro, as it's a multiple use device...would be very sweet if it's great at all the things, but I wonder if it's just got too many moving parts, so to speak, to do all the things well. Thanks!
Great video thanks. I used the Nuface for years, loved it, switched to the Truth Treatment System & I like it better. You can really feel it and taste metal, you also don't use gel it's a Fulvic acid spray (I make my own). I purchased the Ziip 2 months ago, really like it especially for the nano current. Take care
I loved the ZIIP for ease of use but it stopped charging and they only offered a discount on a replacement device. I didn’t want to take the chance of it happening again. I can’t afford to keep replacing these items if problems come up after the warranty.
Fyi The bear mini is much weaker than the full size. They are not the same. Plus I believe the "balls" are different sizes on them. The larger one is more ergonomic for my hand as well. But never pay full price. They always have good Black Friday sales
Okay I would love a video on the gel. I convinced my husband to wait on an expensive Christmas gift for the 2 Medicube devices I want - this one and the led light one. Waiting for you or Tati to get another code lol! But the gels are so important. I've never used these so Nuface may be better as a beginner, BUT I LOVE the fact that I can use this one on my neck and shoulder, too - you two SOLD me! Edit: I need something to help with my eyelids beginning to droop. Hoping that lymphatic drainage helps because I know I shouldn't use these on the eyelids, but around the eye I hope! Although that last one looks like it would be great for my eyelids and jaw! Ohhhhhh and my skin is like yours - oily combo acne prone, so the gels you use yourself would be what I would purchase.
You can use aloe or hyaluronic acid serums too. I have used my favorite moisturizers because I read it gets them a little deeper into the skin. I am a novice though. I'm just sharing what I have read and tried.
Tens are: - cheaper - hands-free because it has sticky pads - many adjustments and settings - channels A & B for two different areas simultaneously. etc.
Right?? I've been thinking all this time, microcurrent devices are just TENS devices in a shape convenient to the face and with less settings, or am I wrong? I think I'm not wrong :p
"The balls were the wrong shape" - I am still laughing, you are so amazing. Loved this video. I believe laughter has a great lifting effect, I am not kidding. So give yourself some love and laugh whenever you get a chance. Whether you found the right microcurrent here or not remaining positive and making a little time for yourself can make a huge difference. Some of my tips: Start with a prayer, faith decreases stress levels in our lives, give it all to God and let go. 2. Exercise in the morning and listen to your favorite music in the shower. 3. A little face massage with two cold spoons or a fancy device whatever your budget, while you watch your favorite show or listen to your favorite podcast in the evening, 4. Make it a routine: cleansing and toning your skin twice a day and using sunscreen, eating healthy and drinking water. All these little things can make a huge difference. Take care of yourselves guys. A healthy mind and spirit is balanced with a healthy body.
I definitely would like a video on conduction gels! I use the NuFace, but I really need to be more consistent. Do you have any comment on the Trinity LED head?
I have experience using the Trinity LED head, if you’re interested. It has the correct wavelength to benefit your skin as much as some of the best LED masks on the consumer market, but it’s much less convenient because you can only do a small section at a time. So, if you are not willing to invest at least 21 minutes per session - more if you want to do your entire face, not just 7 small sections (as opposed to 10 minutes or less for a full-face mask), you won’t use it consistently and therefore, won’t get the benefit. Also, I haven’t had great experience with the reliability of the Trinity LED heads - after trying 2 different units, and having the LED head malfunction on both, I gave up and am just going to wait until I can afford the LED mask I’ve seen the most reliable recommendations for.
Please do talk about the gels. I'm curious about the aloe and the other conductors. I use Aloe gel with my new face. It certainly work just fine. What do you think??????
Hey Cassandra, I began doing some looking into microcurrent devices as I consider getting one. While researching other videos were suggested such as Beauty Beyond 40 "AGE R Device Discussion - Microcurrent or EMS?" According to her the medicube is EMS and not Microcurrent. She also mentioned they are different, microcurrent shouldn't cause intense muscle twitching, and that the two are not the same (she additionally mentions input she received from esthetician/professionals). She then showed the medicube AGE-R box and pointed that EMS is on front of the box and does not mention microcurrent. I love watching your videos and would really love your input on what she is saying.
The Medicube is EMS. Microcurrent and EMS are two different modalities and work/stimulate different levels in the skin, in simple terms. Penn Smith also has some great ACCURATE info on the Medicube device. Which is A great device but not meant to be used in the same way As microcurrent. I've seen this topic brought up OVER AND OVER here and unfortunately it's never addressed.
Microcurrent is so good!!! Especially when you (if you go natural) get old and saggy. I love the NuFace Mini. BUT I bought the refreshed version and it left dozens of tiny capillaries on my cheeks. At 62 they were the only perfect things left on my face. I still use it on my neck and forehead. If it shocks you stop!
please do a video like this on led devices, because it's so confusing I haven't been able to find any videos one it comparing devices as different as the ones in this video!
Also, I love your videos ma’am. You’re gorgeous and I know I can trust your opinion. Unlike others that I’ve followed forever that seem to have lost their concern for honesty to their subscribers over getting money for pushing products that suckkkkk.
Hello Cassandra. I am a 16 year old with a dry skin. But am suffering from closed comedones . This has made my skin really bumpy and textured. Just wanted to ask whether should I go for Paula's Choice Exfoliant or Ordinary Glycolic acid toner. Please feel free to suggest some better products.
I have dry, sensitive skin, and Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner helped with texture, without drying me out. I typically am sensitive to fragrance in products, so I was worried about it in this, but to my surprise, this doesn’t irritate my skin. I’ve been using this for almost two years now and my skin looks better than ever.
If you want to save your money, I would go for the Peach Slices Acne Exfoliating Toner. Very similar to the Paula's Choice for half the price, and you can get it at CVS. If you want to try a serum, Selfless by Hyram's mandelic acid serum also has salicylic acid, so you get a gentle AHA for your dry skin and a little BHA for your closed comedones. BHA is better for closed comedones. You might also try The Ordinary Anhydrous Salicylic Acid serum so you can treat the comedones without drying out your skin.
I totally relate to you i have dry skin with closed comedones too I’ve started getting them when i was 16 I’m 18 now i still have them occasionally but the best thing to do is to keep your hands away from your face don’t try to squeeze them it’ll only make it worse and we don’t want that. Try to look for products labelled non comedogenic even look at the ingredients. I was using a moisturiser and during that time i got those a lot so I checked the ingredients list there was shea butter in it but was labelled as non comedogenic. And don’t exfoliate a lot. Hope this helps.
Pixi Tonic Green Bottle @ Amazon, Target, Ulta. Glow Recipe Watermelon Toner mini version (less expensive) lasts a long time @ Amazon, Sephora etc. Glossier The Solution pink bottle under $20 lasts FOREVER @ Glossier online. Florence by Mills has 4 Toners for different skin needs, nice ingredients @ Ulta & Florence online. Wait for sales, which is often Toner then is $12!
Hello,Cassandra, it is first I watch your channel. Absolutely love it! Thank you for the honesty of your recommendations. You have a beautiful personality ❤
Solawave will work with any conductive gel. It has the same amount of microcurrent as the NuFace. Idk what she means about “feeling microcurrent “. I’ve never felt microcurrent at 350. I don’t fell it with the myolfift. If you feel twitching with microcurrent you need to turn it down as you are depleting atp rather than making it. This is my first time watching this channel and I’m having a hard time getting behind reviews of someone who lumps EMS and microcurrent in the same review. EMS is mid level current, DOES NOT create atp, absolutely depletes atp. Definitely NuFace is not a beginner version of the medicube. They aren’t the same thing. I do agree that myolift is fantastic.
@@elvenmajick I guess we all have different experiences, but I for sure can feel current from the NuFace so I totally understand what she's referring to. I don't have the Solawave though, so I can't compare.
@@celestegarcia1434 I can feel nuface zap if I don’t have enough gel. Lol But I just wanted to be sure ppl don’t think you should feel muscle twitching with microcurrent as that’s depleting ATP. EMS moves your whole face and because so many ppl confuse the two modalities it’s worth pointing out that you don’t want twitching. Zapping isn’t ideal either and if microcurrent stings, it’s usually from too little gel and your conductivity isn’t what it should be. The Solawave WILL make my scalp twitch at certain points on my forehead like all my microcurrent devices do. Since she didn’t know it was a microcurrent device, she may not have used a conductive gel with it which may be a reason for not seeing the benefits of the microcurrent also. I have a number of microcurrent devices and certainly the myolift is my fave but that little Solawave was all I had time for the first few months after I returned to work and it did a great job. I seriously love that little thing. I like the medicube EMS device a lot too. Awesome product for lower face. It’s just not microcurrent.
Based on your reccomendation I picked up the EMS-R on Cyber Monday! I have chronic migraines and chronic tension due to having a hypermobility syndrome. This has been SOOO nice for my neck and jaw goodness!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the valuable information you provided, and the hilarious way you deliver it! Thank you. Do you know of any sites which have the medicbue age r in stock, and authentic ones? I went to order the medicube age r device, but they are sold out on the official site. Amazon had some negative reviews regarding the item on amazon being a fake, and to get it directly from the manufacturer. Also, that the manufacturer will not cover defective medicube products if purchased on amazon.
Just a word of warning - I experienced significant facial fat loss from using the Foreo Bear microcurrent device. Used as directed over approx 1 year. Volume loss has had a very prematurely ageing effect that has left me depressed (as I am only mid-thirties!). ZERO lift, ZERO collagen induction/reduction in fine likes/wrinkles, ZERO improvement of skin texture. Zero benefit essentially! Just flattened my face. Destroyed the fat in the buccal area, which has left me looking gaunt and increased the beginnings of sagging around the life. 1 year since discontinuing use and no fat has returned. Might not happen to everyone, but it's worth being aware that it is a risk that the manufacturers won't warn you about!
Wow this makes me want to return my nuface. I was wondering what the side effects could be
I could just be that you removed stored lymph fluid
My face was puffy and round, but micro current reduced that after first use and made my face more sculpted and younger looking. I’m early 40s
I had the same results😥
@UA-cam User was your face slim to begin with? Mine is and I am afraid of fat loss so much.
When I turned 50, I decided to add some devices to my regimen. I use my FOREO Bear in the AM every day and my Mito IR Light panel every night. I have definitely noticed a change for the better; my skin is smoother, fine lines are diminishing, hyperpigmentation is diminishing, and the most unexpected but much desired effect: My upper lip has seemed to have stopped the age related thinning that had started. You definitely have to commit to using your devices on a strict schedule. Otherwise, you waste your money. Oh yes, I use a green tea serum before I use my MITO IR light panel too.
Which green tea serum do you use? Thanks!
I had terrible experience with Foreo Bear
@@MyPhuckDub Why? I use the Bear Mini and like it a lot
How do you use Mito Red panel for rejuvenation?
@@MyPhuckDub Why?
Would love a video on the different gels!!
yes, I need a vegan guide on this
Yes
Me too
Yes please re gels. Also can you use things like La Roche -Posay Thermal Spring Water with the gel. I spray it as I’m using my Nu Face helps it glide better. 🤷♀️
Me too
I had been very sleepy the entire day and your energy in the video totally wakes me up.
Thank you for saving me money on an impulse buy!!!!! Your transparency is so very much appreciated & that alone has made me a loyal fan!
I LOVE that you love the Myolift Mini! Best most accurate MC device, period and I love that it has 2 wands plus the eye, forehead and lip masks are amazing 🙌🫶
The solawave wand is actually a galvanic current! Not the same as micro-current in terms of ATP stimulation, but it does help to move products deeper into the skin :)
The 1st generation SolaWave is microcurrent.
The current 2nd generation is galvanic current.
I would love a video on the different conductive gels! I would also love a video on other medicube devices!
Kimberly @ Pretty over 50 has a really good recipe for one or just use aloe vera gel.
I prefer to use a very basic gel and add actives from skincare companies I already know and trust. Aloe Vera has been shown not to work very well as a conductor. unfortunately.
I have the medi cube and I love it!! And customer service is absolutely awesome!! Mine suddenly stopped working- I called customer service, and not only did they send me a self-addressed box to send it back, they sent me another brand new Medi-cube, complete with more free products. I can’t say enough good things about this company.
And..the gel is wonderful, packed with all the good ingredients😊
What have you noticed?
@@LA333manifest maybe not a huge difference but a subtle one and I just love using it
Was about to grab one of these and then watched a Doctorly video where Dr Shah said there have been zero studies backing up the efficacy of microcurrent for anti-aging. Highly recommend watching it!
Photos show it works. And that video was misinformed in claiming that the Nuface bulks up muscles. That’s never been one if it’s claims.
MC devices aren't proven to be useless, they are just only proven to help as long as u stay consistent + obviously if the signs of aging u r trying to combat come mostly from bone loss and on top of that u experienced a significant facial fat loss it can be not enough to have striking results. Regardless it cooould be stimulating collagen production(not yet established w certainty) & it definitely does a good job of stimulating muscles which makes facial muscle deterioration less apparent and can visibly fill up some of that muscle loss + since it's a massage tool it aids in lymph drainage. Def not for everyone and not the most life-changing but nice to have. For "life-changing" effects there are other treatments
Bc doctors want you to pay for expensive surgeries! 🙄🙄
There is never any evidence until people have been using things for a while! And by evidence it has to be a peer reviewed study published in an accredited journal. I can just imagine all those scientists madly begging for funding to do a study on any of these devices 😆
Cassandra - I despise that all these companies sell their own gels that I know they did not create! Please teach us to be free from brand loyalty to gels, which are merely a delivery system for current because you can use actives right after the treatments and still get as much absorption as during.
If your face is damp, you don’t need anything else.
micro-current is micro-current you can use water based serums or mask.. any brand or non brand condutive gels or serums work
Aloe vera gel, salt water or ultrasound gel also work.
I just got the Solawave, my bestie had AMAZING results in 30 days of use. I was asking if I need the gel. She said 'I didn't buy the gel, I just used hyaluronic acid and my skincare routine.'
I can tell you, her postpartum butterfly mask is GONE. Dark circles, GONE. Fine lines, GONE. Skin is glowing pores look smaller. I RAN.
@@M377owdoes she apply her skincare and then use the wand? Or apply hyaluronic acid, use the wand, and then her skincare?
Yes, yes! A gel video, please! By the way, I just bought myself a FOREO Bear last week and I can already see a difference on my 52 YO skin. You need to know some tips like a double click will turn on or turn off the TSonic and that the device will work without the app but only when both balls touch the skin. After that, you don’t need the app and can go freestyle.
Yes please. I know many of us would benefit from a separate video on all the different conductive gels, etc. that we can use for micro current device’s. I’ve had the Zip for a few years. I’m a dry dry skinned person. Yet I’m always open to opinions.
interesting review..I find Forero Bear mini to be superior to Nuface. The trick is to stay with it for at least 2 months at only 3 minutes a day. The beauty is it dosen't shock you it delievrs results.And you don't have to recharge the device until 90 uses
I was so worried that she was going to rate the NuFace low as I just got one for Christmas lol. 😊
How was it? Did you like it? Is been 1 year now
Video on gels, yes please!
Thank you for doing this video, long awaited
Okay, I was on the fence about getting the Nuface mini. Now I am sold. So excited! Thank you for this wonderful video, Cassandra!
I bought too minis. That way I can do both sides of my face at the same time
Hey there Cassandra! I've been using the Solawave for a little over a month now. It's made my deep-seated lion's wrinkle disappear in 2 weeks (I've had it for 20 years, since being a teen frowning all the time because I refused to wear my glasses). Thanks for the thorough reviews, I'll check the other devices.
I am happy to know it has helped you so much already. I used it a few times under my eyes since I got it a few days ago but it made the under eye area so sensitive that I can't even touch it. Maybe I need more of a lubricating gel than the toner I am using.
Hey @@monab9080 ! Sorry to hear that. I take it you haven't purchased their activating serum? Or used an aloe/water based one prior to using the wand? It really does help create a slip which would probably prevent the tearing of the skin.
Hi, do you really noticed the difference?
@@monab9080you should be using a conducting gel/serum with the wand.
I'm a beauty and laser therapist, and I would just recommend some of the more powerful settings and professional machines that people look up a chart of muscle facial anatomy.
Just as when I was training, I saw a few mishaps with people stimulating the muscles in an incorrect procedure.
(Example pulling the muscles down instead of up)
Like I rate this over botox and filler as it's not as invasive (it does wear off after a week or two if not done regularly)
Also, you can grab conducter gel in big 2L bottles from beauty supply stores.
I did have one many years ago that was very powerful and as such you couldn't wear any jewellery while using it also had to make sure you had no metal present in the body ( I think as it was also an ion and galvanic all in one machine)
But maybe also be careful with that?
I had a reverse shoulder replacement and have a metal shoulder, can I still use one?
Great point. I have a stent in my carotid .
This is stupid as most people have metal fillings in their teeth 😂😂
I understand that not all micro currents are EMS . The Medicube is an EMS whilst the NuFace, Ziip and Myolift are not. EMS depletes ATP whilst the micro currents like NuFace, Ziip and Myolift actually increases ATP. Can you please address this?
Thank you! I just turn 66 and wanted to buy Micro-Current device. This was extremely helpful.
I hope one day you can make a video in where you talk about , why in some people, LED light make the dark spots gets darker...Hope this topic interest you.!. You look beautiful, as always, Thanks for the great video...Happy New year!.
if only i saw this before Christmas! please do one on radio frequency devices before valentines!!
Thanks for covering this topic, it's a difficult item to shop for confidently. When looking for devices of this kind of Amazon I noticed there's a LOT of bullshit. I notice there are many that are priced in the "too good to be true" range and somehow have an excellent rating. When I actually looked at the reviews that are supposed to reflect the excellent rating, there are far fewer reviews than ratings, for one, and most of them don't at all sound like they're for the product listed....in fact, not even for the same type of product at all. So buyer beware!
May I say you do an outstanding job you don’t drag it out to give the good information you ask questions you answer questions that haven’t even been asked. Bravo and thank you.❤
🤣🤣 Doesn’t drag it out?!! She goes on and on with ADHD hyper craziness!
Yes, gels video please. I have been using the Nuface mini, trinity and the 7 wellness brand. My favor is the 7 wellness brand.
You literally always have the answers! You’ve never failed me. Much love!! ❤❤❤
I was told that the twitching with these products is actually not good as it’s decreasing ATP when that happens so you are actually degrading the muscles instead of strengthening and lifting 🤷♀️ I have several of these devices and always make sure that there is no twitching or I’ll lower the intensity. I think even the myolift instructions state this 🤷♀️
Ure absolutely right
Definitely would love a video on different gels! My skin absorbs them so quickly
Great review. I so appreciate an honest review. Unfortunately my NuFace Trinity is no longer working after 4 years, which is disappointing. It turns on, but I can no longer feel any current on bare skin. I took great care of it as well. I read other similar complaints. Something to keep in mind, considering the price. Having said this, I was happy with the NuFace. It did no cause fat loss as others have mentioned, and I am on the thin side.
Your batteries probably went bad. You can get the batteries replaced by a tech. I did.
omg, you are the absolute best. Love the way you gave a visual summary at the end:)
Ty for giving such a balanced and insightful review, I always learn so much when watching your videos!
Ugh as always, this was so informational! Thank you! And yes, please make a separate gel video. I'm sold on the Nuface as a beginner.
Yes please on the conduction gel tutorial! I bought, but have not yet used, the NuFace. TFS! 💜
THANK YOU FOR THESE REVIEWS! Next, I shall purchase the Medicube EMS Microcurrent Device!
I just found & purchased my NEW IN-BOX NUFACE W/ ATTACHMENTS FOR 265.00! I received it in the mail today & ordered from EB*ay & YES IT IS AUTHENTIC. All new in box w/ all of the bar codes & dates (was made in April of 2022 & Expires in Dec of 2025!). Eb*ay promises & delivers IF something purchased is not authentic or as described.
$265 vs. $500+ = I am so excited & happy.
Just got the Myolift QT+ for Christmas. Enjoying it so far! I was concerned because it uses an app, (and I thought I’d hate that) but it’s really easy-peasy. It appeals to my skintellectual side because it has a lot of the bells and whistles of the mini, but without having to manipulate two probes simultaneously.
Yeah. Those probe manipulation moves drove me nuts.
What does my dermatologist think about skincare tools like solawave, gua sha and others? "Use spf every day, antioxidants, retinol and staying hydrated, dear" 🤷🏻♀️😁
This doesn't actually give any feedback on the tools themselves though lol. We already knew that other stuff was more of a priority lol.
@@nikkimyers1490 yes lol. Greetings from Argentina 😘🏆⭐⭐⭐
I would love a video on the different gels. For christmas I got myself the Nuface and the Nebulyft and I love them. Thank you soooo much casandra!!! Have a Fabulous New Year 2023!!!
Kimberly @ Pretty Over 50 has a great recipe. Or just use aloe!
I got foreo Bear as a gift about a year ago. I like using it - only a couple of minutes and I always use it in the morning (gives me a boost). I have tried NuFace and it just didn't work for me, so I looked other devices up and saw that the Bear has an anti shock system. The decision was made, but I find it to be effective and easy to use
Same for me, with the "standard" Foreo Bear that just has the right size and ergonomy for the jaw and cheeks according to me.
@@l.a.3541 Ok, I have decided to buy foreo Bear, but I wanted to know which size to choose and you just helped me - I'll go for the regular size. It has an anti shock system too!
Yes please do. I do not live in the states.
What do you gus.here rrcommend?
@@mariamagnusdottir2749 anti aging? The Bear is working great
Great video. Couple of questions tho: a) are there any counter indications? (E.g., skin conditions - rosacea and sensitive skin, medical conditions like fibromyalgia, etc.), b) what are the risks of using these devices long term? Can they cause overstimulation of facial nerves? Thank you 🙏
I was wondering too for rosacea!
Same question regarding rosacea?
I had no idea! I'm now WTF Solawave has microcurrent?! Yeah, no. After hearing Cassandra talk about it (prior video), I bought it for spot treatments and I love it!
Amy, is Solarwave LED red light only?! I thought blue light was for acne spot treatments & red for wrinkles?! Did I misunderstand?! Thx! 🙏💜
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about these facial tools. There are lots of facial tools and I'd love to try out them all, but for now I am pleased with the foreo bear and I think it's so cute, compact and powerful.
Yes Cassandra ! Please do a video on the different conductive gels! I'm thinking about purchasing the NuFACE
I've been using the Solawave wand for 6 months and it's greatly helped MY SKIN,
My fiance just got me the Medicube EMS Shot.... SOOOO GOOOOOD. But I would love to hear more about the gel options. As usual thank you Love!
how do you use it? what have you noticed? Would love to hear more!
Hi Cassandra, a lot of influencers like beauty over 40 talked about how the medicube device is EMS and EMS actually depletes ATP and doesnt encourage ATP like microcurrent thus. Research has also shown that EMS is too harsh to be used on the face and though it slims your face quite immediately it may not be good for the long term. Could we get your thoughts on this? THanks
The depletion of ATP isn't a ton and can quite easily be topped back up with Microcurrent after an EMS treatment. You obviously dont use EMS on the face as frequently as you would Microcurrent. So the amount of ATP depletion due to EMS use isn't exactly going to be significant or be a cause for concern.
I think there is too much misinformation on the depletion of ATP being an issue regarding EMS for the face, considering our body also reproduces and replenishes ATP by itself quiet quickly.
I personally do EMS facials once a week and MC during the same week. I also go on the frontalis muscle at a low setting for an eye brow / lid lift.
So many beauty scams out there - save your money.💸
EMS is not microcurrent it's a different modality. They are mutually exclusive. I'm tired of people calling EMS microcurrent, especially in advertising. EMS hurts my teeth a lot, microcurrent doesn't. That's important info for me to have when shopping for a device
I am so frustrated with NuFace because the metal surface on the balls and attachments wears off and becomes rough. The company would not stand behind their product. Will not repurchase and looking for a different device with different attachments. I do like the variety of attachments with NuFace.
@@horriblekitty13the hand book on my device uses ems and microcurrent interchangeably it’s so confusing
I’ve been using microcurrent for years while having Botox. Never noticed it wearing away quickly.
Same.
As a Skintellectual who's been digging deep into microcurrent devices, Myolift was at the top of my list! And I'm so happy to see its at the top of yours too! I'll be purchasing soon.
How do you not know Solawave is microcurrent, it's listed on their site, and advertised as such. I'm beginning to reconsider no longer watching this channel. It's not the first time I noticed misinformation.
Since years I have a device from NUSKIN and their PRODUCTS I love it … it’s funny that there is a brand called NUFACE
Myolift is the best! I have been using it for long time and its just awesome and yes I get rid off bad botox as well, it took about a month but it worked. My husband always tells me how great I look after I use it, I took a bit break because its bit annoying but 100% works and I need to use it again.
can you research and talk about facial fat loss with micro current and RF micro needling? i've avoided getting the nuface bc i heard it can make you lose facial volume over time. i want the new solawave wand (supposed to be better than OG) for red light therapy to stimulate collagen under my eyes (seeing age related volume loss under eye and it's stressing me out 😅 when i smile you can see my round cheeks form a separation from my under eyes) but i'm afraid of the micro/galvanic current (i've heard different ppl call it different things) melting my under eye fat. pls help! looking for the best way to stimulate my under eye volume loss!!
Great video Cassandra! I would love a video on the different types of gels. 🥰
I saw this Derma Micro Tone $49.95 is simular to the NuFace Mini.. By the way, your blouse or dress, is gorgeous!
As mentioned above, please review the TheraFace PRO… Sounds like it can do it all in one, but I’m unsure if it actually works well doing it all. Thank you 🦋
My husband bought me one for Xmas. I had no idea it existed. So far I LOVE the cold attachment. I am trying the micro current head. I have a NuFace and LOVE IT so we’ll see. Just one the physical size attributes, I like my NuFace for my jaw line and neck, but the TheraFace for cheeks/forehead. I DON’T like the TheraFace gel. Trying out the LED. The percussive attachments are nice, I found it was wonderful on my sore hands- I used the heat attachment and the pointed percussive for an amazing massage that really helped the pain.
@@erinbyrd5181 i love the percussion too for my jaw soreness!!
@@blaah9999 Haven’t had a sore jaw yet, but I do have some mild TMJ on the left and I’m just awaiting trying it should it act up.
I LOVE my TheraFace PRO. My hubby got it for my for Christmas and I've been using it everyday. It acts like a PMD cleanser, has LED Light Therapy, Microcurrent, Cold/Hot Plates, and massages... all in just 1 device. Love it!
Omg…I just discovered u today and u are insane and I’m here for it. Funny and entertaining but also very knowledgeable. I’m just getting into all these devices thanks for the advice and tips.
thank you SO much for the heads up about not using botox and microcurrent together. probably saved me from that mistake
Thank you. One of the best videos I've seen on beauty products!
Hi Cassandra! This video is a gem. Thanks for doing this. The one device I would love your opinion on is the Amiro. Apparently, it is both a micro current and an RF device. 🤷♀️
Hi Cassandra! Yes on the best serums and if they are really worth it? Because sometimes you have to wash your face afterwards. Also wanted to know your opinion on the one that you love that does EMS because another UA-camr said they’re studies that show that it decreases ATP, can you please please show some light on this?
Thank you so much for your content 💕
Please do a video on different gels/products you can use!!
I bought myself a gift during the last black Friday sales & snagged a great deal on a microcurrent device that comes with several attachments & gel included from MyoLift. I absolutely love it, but I need to work out a schedule for consist use.
I would love a video about conductive gels. I'd also like a video about how to DIY a gel! Thanks!
For those considering buying Medicube: if you have metal implants in your teeth ( metal pins under crowns), I would not recommend using it. I tried it around my mouth- to lift the muscles- and felt like robocop! I could feel the electricity vibrating in my metal parts of teeth;) not a pleasant feeling. Hoping to get a refund.
I wonder how it would be with metal (amalgam) fillings.
@thesender6321 I got amalgam filings and OMG. It huts so bad!!! I was thinking it was the divice until I read this comment...😢 I'm still trying in my forehead .
Listening at 1.5 speed and you sound so cute with your reactions. Thanks for your honest reviews for these devices.
Ziip gel is amazing, the ingredients amazing and it doesn't dry during treatment as any other microcurrent gel. And it's not supposed to absorb at all, you have to wash it off
Agree and they have 3 different formulas that are all amazing!!
I wouldn't mind a vid on gels that actually absorb. I work in medical and just use ultrasound gel. It gets annoying when I have to wash if off though, and that's the main thing keeping me from using it as often as I want. I find myself staring at it and going "I'm too tired to deal with the clean up right now."
I use the cheap ultrasound gel from Amazon and spray tap water to rewet if needed. I don't wash my face before using Myolift Mini. Afterward, I wash my face and continue with my skincare routine.
I bought solawave with discount! So far so good….I don’t have many fine lines/ wrinkles but my skin seems plump and my breakout has reduced too
Cassandra!!! EMS and micro currents are NOT THE SAME!
I would LOVE your review on the Truth Treatments NRGY device! It has micro-current and EMS.. I heard that it’s one of the most intense and powerful but would love to see your review! Also, yes to conductive gel reviews!, you da best! ❤
Thank you! I was waiting for this video to educate my self in all this devices 🙌
Ooh yes yes please do a video on gels! I have searched around for this kind of info and can't find it. I'd also love to know what you think of the Medicube Ussera Deep Shot. I got it based off your video on it. 😊 Hopefully I picked a good one. I do like Medicube's gel but it is so expensive. Cheaper options would be great!
If you have epilepsy, you don't wan't to use electricity to stimulate the brain as that will cause a seizure. I knew that and still purchased the mini Nuface when Ulta was having their big sale - it's still sitting here. I will try it and find out where I can use it as I'm not severe - be cautious.
LOVED this video! For sure needs a followup gel review! Also please do one on Theraface Pro, as it's a multiple use device...would be very sweet if it's great at all the things, but I wonder if it's just got too many moving parts, so to speak, to do all the things well. Thanks!
Great video thanks. I used the Nuface for years, loved it, switched to the Truth Treatment System & I like it better. You can really feel it and taste metal, you also don't use gel it's a Fulvic acid spray (I make my own). I purchased the Ziip 2 months ago, really like it especially for the nano current. Take care
Forgot to say great content for us aging folks so we don't spend our money on the wrong products. Actually good for all of us 😊
Loving the fact I was just researching this and you happen to just upload a video 🤩🤩
I loved the ZIIP for ease of use but it stopped charging and they only offered a discount on a replacement device. I didn’t want to take the chance of it happening again. I can’t afford to keep replacing these items if problems come up after the warranty.
Fyi The bear mini is much weaker than the full size. They are not the same. Plus I believe the "balls" are different sizes on them. The larger one is more ergonomic for my hand as well. But never pay full price. They always have good Black Friday sales
Okay I would love a video on the gel. I convinced my husband to wait on an expensive Christmas gift for the 2 Medicube devices I want - this one and the led light one. Waiting for you or Tati to get another code lol! But the gels are so important.
I've never used these so Nuface may be better as a beginner, BUT I LOVE the fact that I can use this one on my neck and shoulder, too - you two SOLD me!
Edit: I need something to help with my eyelids beginning to droop. Hoping that lymphatic drainage helps because I know I shouldn't use these on the eyelids, but around the eye I hope!
Although that last one looks like it would be great for my eyelids and jaw!
Ohhhhhh and my skin is like yours - oily combo acne prone, so the gels you use yourself would be what I would purchase.
You can use aloe or hyaluronic acid serums too. I have used my favorite moisturizers because I read it gets them a little deeper into the skin. I am a novice though. I'm just sharing what I have read and tried.
Tens are: - cheaper - hands-free because it has sticky pads - many adjustments and settings - channels A & B for two different areas simultaneously. etc.
Right?? I've been thinking all this time, microcurrent devices are just TENS devices in a shape convenient to the face and with less settings, or am I wrong? I think I'm not wrong :p
@@FloatingSpark Google will give you the answer. Not exactly sure if they are the same.
Could you please do a reivew on a japanese brand called Shisedio Tsubaki, their haircare line. Thank you🙏
"The balls were the wrong shape" - I am still laughing, you are so amazing. Loved this video. I believe laughter has a great lifting effect, I am not kidding. So give yourself some love and laugh whenever you get a chance. Whether you found the right microcurrent here or not remaining positive and making a little time for yourself can make a huge difference. Some of my tips: Start with a prayer, faith decreases stress levels in our lives, give it all to God and let go. 2. Exercise in the morning and listen to your favorite music in the shower. 3. A little face massage with two cold spoons or a fancy device whatever your budget, while you watch your favorite show or listen to your favorite podcast in the evening, 4. Make it a routine: cleansing and toning your skin twice a day and using sunscreen, eating healthy and drinking water. All these little things can make a huge difference. Take care of yourselves guys. A healthy mind and spirit is balanced with a healthy body.
I definitely would like a video on conduction gels! I use the NuFace, but I really need to be more consistent. Do you have any comment on the Trinity LED head?
I have experience using the Trinity LED head, if you’re interested. It has the correct wavelength to benefit your skin as much as some of the best LED masks on the consumer market, but it’s much less convenient because you can only do a small section at a time. So, if you are not willing to invest at least 21 minutes per session - more if you want to do your entire face, not just 7 small sections (as opposed to 10 minutes or less for a full-face mask), you won’t use it consistently and therefore, won’t get the benefit. Also, I haven’t had great experience with the reliability of the Trinity LED heads - after trying 2 different units, and having the LED head malfunction on both, I gave up and am just going to wait until I can afford the LED mask I’ve seen the most reliable recommendations for.
Please do talk about the gels. I'm curious about the aloe and the other conductors. I use Aloe gel with my new face. It certainly work just fine. What do you think??????
Hey Cassandra, I began doing some looking into microcurrent devices as I consider getting one. While researching other videos were suggested such as Beauty Beyond 40 "AGE R Device Discussion - Microcurrent or EMS?"
According to her the medicube is EMS and not Microcurrent. She also mentioned they are different, microcurrent shouldn't cause intense muscle twitching, and that the two are not the same (she additionally mentions input she received from esthetician/professionals). She then showed the medicube AGE-R box and pointed that EMS is on front of the box and does not mention microcurrent.
I love watching your videos and would really love your input on what she is saying.
The Medicube is EMS. Microcurrent and EMS are two different modalities and work/stimulate different levels in the skin, in simple terms. Penn Smith also has some great ACCURATE info on the Medicube device. Which is A great device but not meant to be used in the same way As microcurrent. I've seen this topic brought up OVER AND OVER here and unfortunately it's never addressed.
Thank you so much for educating me today. I spent a lot of money in the spa. I want to start implementing these things at home. I loved your video
Microcurrent is so good!!! Especially when you (if you go natural) get old and saggy. I love the NuFace Mini. BUT I bought the refreshed version and it left dozens of tiny capillaries on my cheeks. At 62 they were the only perfect things left on my face. I still use it on my neck and forehead. If it shocks you stop!
Can the age R derma by medicube be used on stomach saggy skin ?
please do a video like this on led devices, because it's so confusing I haven't been able to find any videos one it comparing devices as different as the ones in this video!
2:30 what’s your source on this? I have heard several deems say microcurrent is fine as long as you wait a few days after Botox
Also, I love your videos ma’am. You’re gorgeous and I know I can trust your opinion. Unlike others that I’ve followed forever that seem to have lost their concern for honesty to their subscribers over getting money for pushing products that suckkkkk.
Hello Cassandra.
I am a 16 year old with a dry skin. But am suffering from closed comedones . This has made my skin really bumpy and textured. Just wanted to ask whether should I go for Paula's Choice Exfoliant or Ordinary Glycolic acid toner. Please feel free to suggest some better products.
I have dry, sensitive skin, and Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner helped with texture, without drying me out.
I typically am sensitive to fragrance in products, so I was worried about it in this, but to my surprise, this doesn’t irritate my skin. I’ve been using this for almost two years now and my skin looks better than ever.
If you want to save your money, I would go for the Peach Slices Acne Exfoliating Toner. Very similar to the Paula's Choice for half the price, and you can get it at CVS. If you want to try a serum, Selfless by Hyram's mandelic acid serum also has salicylic acid, so you get a gentle AHA for your dry skin and a little BHA for your closed comedones.
BHA is better for closed comedones. You might also try The Ordinary Anhydrous Salicylic Acid serum so you can treat the comedones without drying out your skin.
I totally relate to you i have dry skin with closed comedones too I’ve started getting them when i was 16 I’m 18 now i still have them occasionally but the best thing to do is to keep your hands away from your face don’t try to squeeze them it’ll only make it worse and we don’t want that. Try to look for products labelled non comedogenic even look at the ingredients. I was using a moisturiser and during that time i got those a lot so I checked the ingredients list there was shea butter in it but was labelled as non comedogenic. And don’t exfoliate a lot. Hope this helps.
Pixi Tonic Green Bottle @ Amazon, Target, Ulta. Glow Recipe Watermelon Toner mini version (less expensive) lasts a long time @ Amazon, Sephora etc. Glossier The Solution pink bottle under $20 lasts FOREVER @ Glossier online. Florence by Mills has 4 Toners for different skin needs, nice ingredients @ Ulta & Florence online. Wait for sales, which is often Toner then is $12!
Paula’s Choice is a fantastic product
The myolift is fantastic. I like to use the gloves instead of the wands. By using the gloves you only need water instead of the gel.
Yes, please do a show on microcurrent gels.
Hello,Cassandra, it is first I watch your channel. Absolutely love it! Thank you for the honesty of your recommendations. You have a beautiful personality ❤
I just bought the Solawave thinking I could use it under my eyes to help with wrinkles since I can't use retinoid products around my eyes. Sigh!!!
The red-light itself helps against wrinkles, just no additional benefit from the Microcurrent.
Do you need to use any eye protection for the lee light?
And what about conducting gel? 😊
Solawave will work with any conductive gel. It has the same amount of microcurrent as the NuFace. Idk what she means about “feeling microcurrent “. I’ve never felt microcurrent at 350. I don’t fell it with the myolfift. If you feel twitching with microcurrent you need to turn it down as you are depleting atp rather than making it. This is my first time watching this channel and I’m having a hard time getting behind reviews of someone who lumps EMS and microcurrent in the same review. EMS is mid level current, DOES NOT create atp, absolutely depletes atp. Definitely NuFace is not a beginner version of the medicube. They aren’t the same thing. I do agree that myolift is fantastic.
@@elvenmajick I guess we all have different experiences, but I for sure can feel current from the NuFace so I totally understand what she's referring to. I don't have the Solawave though, so I can't compare.
@@celestegarcia1434 I can feel nuface zap if I don’t have enough gel. Lol But I just wanted to be sure ppl don’t think you should feel muscle twitching with microcurrent as that’s depleting ATP. EMS moves your whole face and because so many ppl confuse the two modalities it’s worth pointing out that you don’t want twitching. Zapping isn’t ideal either and if microcurrent stings, it’s usually from too little gel and your conductivity isn’t what it should be. The Solawave WILL make my scalp twitch at certain points on my forehead like all my microcurrent devices do. Since she didn’t know it was a microcurrent device, she may not have used a conductive gel with it which may be a reason for not seeing the benefits of the microcurrent also. I have a number of microcurrent devices and certainly the myolift is my fave but that little Solawave was all I had time for the first few months after I returned to work and it did a great job. I seriously love that little thing. I like the medicube EMS device a lot too. Awesome product for lower face. It’s just not microcurrent.
oh! what about the myolift QT? where does that fall on your scale!!!???
Based on your reccomendation I picked up the EMS-R on Cyber Monday! I have chronic migraines and chronic tension due to having a hypermobility syndrome. This has been SOOO nice for my neck and jaw goodness!
Why EMS device goes together with microcurrent?? Or was it sponsored?
Would love a video on micro current gels !!
The last one is exactly like the Susanne Somers device. It was divine!
