Even the most recent recruits to the microcurrent game have probably heard ofNuFACE.
Yep, theyre likely using NuFACE.
Is this at-home tool really worth the hype (and the dollar sign?).
What does microcurrent do?
Think of microcurrent as a strength training workout for your skin.
you’re able to read all about the sciencehere, if youd like a full deep dive.
That is, assuming you use a high-quality, FDA-approved gear, like the NuFACE.
Is it safe?
In my research, I could not, however, find clear data on this.

How do you use the NuFACE?
Lets be honest: Microcurrent tools can be…intimidating.When do you apply the gel?
How do you hold the gadget?
Where, oh where, are you supposed to glide?
I always lift in the morning, Maue notes.
Its whatever is best for your routine.
According to Maue, thats totally fine.
When do you see results?
Great news: Results are pretty immediate.
The very first time you use it, you will see a lift in your skin, says Maue.
But, alas, those results are only temporarywith microcurrent, consistency is key.
Microcurrent results are instant and accumulative, Maue adds, meaning they get better and better with time.
You don’t have to have that rigorous schedule.
Yet after just two weeks of consistent use, I definitely notice a more lifted, contoured appearance.
I wasnt wrong, but Technically that’s the microcurrent scattering and bouncing, she tells me.
Microcurrent, when used correctly, is supposed to be virtually subsensory, she explains.
After a spritz of theSupercharged IonPlex Facial Mist, the zings instantly went away.
But, hey, Ive only been at it for a couple weeks!
(Ill report back in two monthsdont worry.)
My partner also commented on how my cheeks looked morechiseled,and I promise it was unprovoked.
Are results permanent?
Nope, sadly those chiseled cheekbones will eventually drop with time.
But its not like your skin will sag after skipping a day or two.
Over time, though, you might notice a lack of gains.
Day one, week one, or week two, you’re not going to see a difference.
But by week three and four, things might start shifting, Maue adds.
FAQ

Who should not use NuFACE?
Do dermatologists recommend microcurrent?
However, they should not be relied upon as a sole treatment for skin aging or skin tightening.
Is the NuFACE tool worth it?
Would I shell out $395 for theNuFACE Trinity+?
I’d say so.
Its certainly an investment, but the long-term results are worth the one-time purchase in my opinion.
If youd like to save $100, you could opt for theMini+ deviceinstead.
