NuFACE Mini Facial Toning Device

Product Information

As far as the science goes, microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends weak electrical signals into the body and stimulates the muscles under the skin, which in turn gives the skin a lifted appearance. “Just like injectable chemical neuromodulators smooth the overlying skin (think of the forehead after Botox), a device like this can help to smooth wrinkles,” explains Tracy Evans, MD, board-certified dermatologist and medical director of Pacific Skin and Cosmetic Dermatology. As far as improving collagen and elastic, Dr. Evans points out that more evidence is needed to say for sure. “While claims have been made that these devices stimulate collagen production and cellular regeneration in the skin, this remains to be determined by true placebo controlled clinical trials,” Dr. Evans notes. Boost: Apply a few drops one of the NuFACE Super Booster serums onto fingertips and massage into clean, dry skin until fully absorbed. Activate + Lift: Brush a mask-like layer of your favorite NuFACE Microcurrent Activator in sections as you lift. Perform glides/holds using your Mini+ Device.

Loved by A-listers, aestheticians and makeup artists all over the globe, it’s really no wonder the brand has scooped up countless awards. NuFACE has been a trailblazer in the industry for the last 15 years, and there are no signs of them stopping anytime soon. Clinically tested, non-invasive and easy to use from the comfort of your sofa, NuFACE is the brand you need to know about. One evening about six weeks ago, I took it out of the drawer and for some reason, decided to give it another try. I looked at some more demo’s online and saw that some people were holding on the muscle rather than simply gliding it as most demonstrate. So I decided, what the hell, and changed my original routine to have it sitting on the cheek muscles and under them too. When Did I Start to See Results From My New Routine? Silk Crème: Aqua/Water/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Propanediol, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Sea Silt Extract, Isopentyldiol 1,2-Hexanediol, Adenosine, Bellis Perennis Flower Extract, Betaine, Biosaccharide Gum-4, Bisabolol, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hylocereus Undatus Fruit Extract, Lecithin, Leucojum Aestivum Bulb Extract, Mannan, Olivine Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Citrate, Tocopherol, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Trifolium Pratense Flower Extract, Zingiber Officinale Root Extract, Benzoic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulfite. NuFace was founded in 2005 by Carol Cole and her two daughters, Tera Peterson and Kim Morales. They are responsible for pioneering the microcurrent beauty technology discovered by Cole in the 1980s during her career as an aesthetician. Step 2: Lift! Place both spears on position one and glide to the lower ear until the beep sounds. You will hear the audible treatment timer beep every five seconds. Move to position two and glide. Move to position three and glide. Return to position one and repeat the facial lift treatment two more times. Next, apply the gel primer above the left brow. Place both spheres on position one and slowly glide to position one until the beep sounds. Move to position two and glide. Move to position three and glide. Return to position one and repeat the sequence two more times. Lift half of your face and compare the treated side of the face to the untreated side of the face, and look for skincare improvement in the brow, cheekbone, and jawline areas. Now apply the gel primer to the other side of the face and continue the facial-lift treatment as described above.

How does NuFace work?

If you're new to microcurrent therapy (welcome!), the NuFace Mini is the perfect starter tool for you (it's the one the one that I tried for this article, too). A travel version of the NuFace Trinity (the older sibling, if you will), the NuFace Mini is smaller, cheaper, and simpler but still uses the same microcurrent technology. More than just a facial massager, this tool actually sends out electrical current into your skin and muscles to give the face a more sculpted, tighter appearance. Along with the device, you also get a 2 oz. bottle of Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer to use with it.

There’s a visible difference immediately afterward. After doing half my face with Peterson’s guidance, I could see my brow looked more lifted and my cheek less puffy. I have more definition along my cheekbones and jawline too. But what has really impressed me is that after 10 or so days of consistent use, my nasolabial folds look less noticeable.Anyone who follows me on Youtube will know that I had previously dissed the Nuface Mini as ‘Not all that’ so it might come as a surprise to you that I am giving this facelift machine a gold star review.

Step 1: Prep! Cleanse the face with an oil-free cleanser, removing any makeup oils and impurities and apply the NuFACE gel primer to the left cheek area. Apply the gel in a mask like layer so that the skin appears wet. Press the on/off button to power the device on. Press the intensity control button until you reach the maximum level. Intensity can be adjusted for comfort at any time. Treating some of the most discerning faces in Hollywood, aesthetician Carol Cole developed the NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device after recognising her clients needed to keep up with their age-defying treatments outside of the clinic. The non-invasive, easy-to-use skin care device gives you the power of microcurrent technology at home. Gentle electric current stimulates collagen and elastin production – minimising wrinkles, redefining facial contours and giving skin a radiant, youthful boost.

NuFace before and after

I had thrown the Nuface into the drawer of my bedside cabinet a long time ago. I was contemplating selling it. It seemed a shame to just have it sitting there, when it might suit someone else. It clearly just didn’t suit me. Using the NuFace Again Achieve a salon-similar complexion with innovative, at-home microcurrent technology. Traditionally offered at clinics and spas around the world, microcurrent facials give your facial muscles a workout to sculpt and define your features. Channelling this youth-boosting tech into their state-of-the-art devices, now we can enjoy the luxury (and incredible results) of microcurrent from the comfort of our homes. Either! What's most important is that you're using it, no matter what time it is (just make sure you wait 24 hours between each session). “Just like sit-ups or crunches, if you want this look to be last, you have to keep doing it,” says Dr. Evans. “It does not have long-term or cumulative results on its own without repeated application.”
