What microcurrent does (and doesn't do) for skin + the best devices

[@bhall9874]

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

Great to hear your experience, thank you.

[@carlapedro4406]

Ziip works for eye wrinkles too?

[@eonarts]

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

This is great to hear!

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

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

[@thehonestchannel]

I'm really sorry to hear this and thank you so much for sharing your difficult experience with us.

[@Urmomlolllllll]

That’s so scary especially as the fat will disappear naturally anyways. What a nightmare! I’m sorry you had to deal with that. My face is starting to droop but I am too scared to try anything. Seeing your comment only makes me even more nervous.

Hi Clare, like you, i own both Ziip's, and I have to say the Halo is making such a difference, apart from the lift, the glow it leaves on my skin is just amazing. 4 minutes a day is totally do-able, and so much easier without the app. Nuface did nothing for me. Looking forward to hearing about Maysama Urchin. I can definitely see the improvements on your face Clare, your skin looks so much more tighter, lifted and ......well, just so healthy, from when I first started watching your first video, so well done.

I love the Myolift. I use the gloves, so no gel. Really enjoy your channel.

[@lisadeharthansen7076]

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

[@thehonestchannel]

Thanks for sharing this Lisa!

I just received my pico toner, so am so glad to hear that you like this. I have had the Nuface and the Ziip and am not crazy about them and did not see any results on my 61 year old face.

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

I wasted money on the Nuface and I am really annoyed with myself!! I found it a total pain in the bum applying the gel and then using the device. I found it took longer than I had anticipated and it really annoyed my husband when I used it at night!!!! I gave it a go, religiously, for nearly a year, and saw no difference whatsoever!! So it now gathering dust!! I do love the CurrentBody LED mask that is so much easier to use - because I can get on with a few things around the house/or at work (from home!!!).

I had to stop using microcurrent because I developed rosacea and the microcurrent seemed to trigger it. I am sad about it because I think it really did help keep everything around my eyes lifted. The first one I ever had was the one from Suzanne Somers.

I need to say I don’t think the microcurrent causes the rosacea - i just think it triggers it. I had switched from the Suzanne Somers one to the Myolift Mini, which is stronger and maybe, like you said in the video, it is too strong and stressed my skin.

A device very much like the NuFace came out in the 90s. I was working for a TV station at the time and sold the broadcast time for infomercials so I got one for free. I had some premature aging at the time (in my mid 30s) so I was keen to see if it helped. Tried it pretty religiously for almost a year and saw nothing in the way of improvement. You could certainly feel the current but I never got any benefit. Maybe they are different now, but I won’t spend that much money on something that will likely do very little.

For many devices, it’s always techniques. There’s specific techniques to be applied for desirable and optimal result. Like where to hold the probes, and how long you hold it for. Muscles in our face and bodies are like pulley system. You have to apply the device in the right area to achieve another area to lift up. Just like cars… you can’t say a car is awful, it really depends on the driver.

So glad you like the channel. So I use both microcurrent and a red light mask but I only wear the mask for 6 minutes at a time so it’s super-quick but I still get results. These are the two anti-aging technologies I can really recommend for long-term use. I would definitely get the red light mask back out! If you are looking for solutions for more advanced skin sagging I would look to a clinical treatment like CO2 laser or RF microneedling but only with a highly experienced medical professional.

Darker colors absorb UV rays, so they help to block them from your skin. That's why dark blue, black, or dark red are better than lighter clothing (in the sun) because they absorb more (thus block more).

Hi all, I have the Clareblend mini micro current device. I’m wonwondering if any of you have tried the Clareblend and also the ZIIP and if you have any feedback on one being better than the other or if you prefer using the zip more?thanks in advance for any feedback. 🙏🏼😊

[@thehonestchannel]

I haven't tried the Clareblend I'm afraid - though I should have with that name! I'm Clare too.

[@jillpotts7472]

no mention on microlift QT... or did i miss it?

[@thehonestchannel]

I haven’t tried them all so just sharing the ones I have that I’ve liked best.

[@valentina-pg4bj]

I have the Myolift QT & love it too, along with my new Haol Ziip. But the best in the west for me is the MiTama. You just sit back & get a professional face lift!!!! My Fav!

[@III-mu4yn]

Omg be very careful with microcurrent it caused my facial fat loss using the N face. I have been using Adipeau for a year and still not entirely back to where I was prior to using microcurrent but at least now I knoe the cream is gradually working.

[@thehonestchannel]

I talk in the video about the risk of fat loss and why I use gentle devices. Thanks for sharing by your experience and sorry this happened to you.

[@lou4445c]

My problem areas are upper lip lines and forehead lines. I'm 61 and I use Oneskin, which I really like. Crow's feet have lessened quite a bit. I also do red light therapy. Is there anything that helps with lips and forehead lines?

[@thehonestchannel]

As far as home devices go, I think red light is helpful for deeper lines. It's subtle but, in combination with my skincare routine, I think I've seen an improvement so it's worth continuing with.

[@lou4445c]

Thank you for the info! Love your channel!

[@dreamdaydancestudio6680]

Can I please get your opinion on RF at home devices such as Amiro? Thank you.

[@thehonestchannel]

I feel very cautious about RF because of the potential for fat loss. I would definitely choose a well-known brand with a clear track record if you're looking for a device and go very easy to begin with so you can see how your skin responds. From what I can tell from viewer feedback, most people seem to be fine with these devices but occasionally - and we don't know why - people report fat loss.

[@Perthumery]

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

[@thehonestchannel]

Hi. I appreciate all views but I don't accept I've made misleading statements in this video.

[@Perthumery]

@@thehonestchannel then can you say with a high level of confidence whether A) microcurrent is a high intensity muscle stimulation OR muscle relaxation and B) each of the device you are mentioning is working within the micro current range. I made my study and what I hear in your video contradicts to it. I might be wrong too. Therefore, I am asking these two questions to align our information.

[@thehonestchannel]

​@@Perthumery It's not clear from your comments what your evidence is other than what your plastic surgeon has told you. I have shared what my statements are based on in this video. Some of it is my opinion based on my own experience and other statements are based on published studies.

[@Perthumery]

@@thehonestchannel you don’t know what is the microcurrent? How it works? And whether your device is microcurrent, Millicurrent or EMS?

[@mariamagnusdottir2749]

What is your experience with Myolift q 10 . Has any of you tried that one? Can you please tell me what is your experience? Thanks. It is from 7E Wellnes I think. You can use it hands free and you can use it with glows. Thank you

[@thehonestchannel]

I haven't tried that one I'm afraid.

[@lisawiswell7418]

I have just started using a micro current device. I have quite a few metal fillings and when I go near my mouth it’s so uncomfortable it’s like I have tiny foil in my mouth, I don’t get a metal taste it’s just extremely sensitive against my teeth. I don’t know if this is common or if it is just the one I have? Would like your feedback please ?

[@thehonestchannel]

I think the stronger the current the more likely it is to cause sensations like that. If you're able to turn down the power level that might help. I don't find this an issue with the ZIIP

[@Jim-oc3sp]

Do you think these devices would work for men that have beards? Or do you think that the device would need to have direct contact without beard interference

[@thehonestchannel]

Might be a good idea to reach out to the maker of the device you're interested in to ask if they have any suggestions or anecdotal information around using microcurrent with a beard.

[@lauriecorcoran4050]

I've been using the myolift for a couple of weeks now and haven't seen any different yet! 🙄

[@thehonestchannel]

Results can be pretty subtle but hopefully they improve over the next few weeks 🤞

[@marielaippolito5027]

Hi! Do you think this is more effective than radio frecuency for saggy jowls? Thanks❤

[@thehonestchannel]

Hi. I don't think microcurrent offers dramatic results for more advanced sagging - it's great as a preventative treatment and does give a slight lift with skin and muscle toning but for more advanced sagging I would look at clinical options.

[@3kboom]

What do you think of the Lumo now? Have you stopped using it? I recall it being a favorite of yours in the past, if i am not mistaken…

[@thehonestchannel]

I use RF only sparingly now after doing a lot of research into the risk of facial fat loss. This video explains everything I know and how I use it safely kzbin.info/www/bejne/omilgZeIa8Sorrssi=oN4D-VCanLu5uD43

[@3kboom]

Thank you!

[@rubytuesday9881]

Is this device safe to use with Botox? Thank you for any information you have! :o)

[@thehonestchannel]

General advice is to let your Botox take full effect over a couple of weeks before you go back to using microcurrent.

[@shar7508]

I’m getting painful “zaps” with the Ziip Halo. Is this normal? Thanks 😊

[@thehonestchannel]

You can be aware of the current at points but it shouldn’t feel painful - prickly maybe.

[@abbysands9510]

The reason is causing you shock is because you are not using enough conduit gel.

[@marybertolino5388]

Name of jells

[@loribecchi8819]

"Doctorly" says it doesn't work. Microcurrent only works on muscle but that's not what ages the face he said.

[@thehonestchannel]

It’s an interesting perspective. I think a lot of consumers would say the results speak for themselves. I regard it as an important part of my maintenance routine for keeping my jawline toned.

[@loribecchi8819]

I think it does work for lifting temporarily but if you stop ,,the results go away @@thehonestchannel

[@spencer8501]

I think you can you use TENs device

[@thehonestchannel]

Sorry to lose you.

[@sballantine8127]

It was my understanding that one always needs to use a conductive gel, ie one with minerals in it, when using a microcurrent device. And yet you said you've used one on a damp face and another with just hyaluronic acid. So how are we supposed to know which devices need the specialized microcurrent gels with minerals or simply use water or something like hyaluronic acid? I found this extremely confusing and hope that you will please clear this up. Thank you.

[@thehonestchannel]

I use damp skin with the Phoenix which is a dermaroller with an extremely low current so it’s a little different to something like the NuFace. If you spend more and get a conductive gel you may well enjoy some benefits, and it may conduct better, but you don’t need to splash out on the expensive ones. I’ll do a bit of research on this and create a dedicated video on the best solutions to use and why.

[@ozarkcyn1]

Why don't you actually show someone with what you consider significant sagging instead of just saying it?

[@emity859]

Haha I don't think that it's Ziip what keeps Sandra's face from sliding to the ground 😂

[@wonderland2023]

I also prayed to Jesus.

[@tofusalad654]

Hi ! May I ask how old you are? You look great!

[@thehonestchannel]

Thank you! I'm 50.
