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

Hi Clare, thank you for such a wonderful in depth video. I’m in UK and just tried to order the ZIIP device on the CurrentBody site but it’s not accepting the CLARECB discount code. Is there any other code I could use? Thanks in advance.

I have the Foreo Bear. I love it. I already had the start of jowls. It has not made them disappear, but I do think it has helped to slow their progress. I have only ever used spray on mineral water and Aloe Vera. I like the wake up feel it gives me. I have used it for 2yrs and I am 72 years old and I receive complementary remarks regarding my skin!

Your product reviews have been the most helpful to me, so thank you! I started using the EvenSkyn Venus because of your reviews, and I also use LED face and neck masks, Current Body's LED Eye Perfector and a NuFace Mini. Would you agree the Venus isn't needed with the other devices? It did nothing for morning puffiness, which was my reason for using it, so I may only be duplicating other treatments. I'm also going to drop the NuFace and use the Urchin because it includes sonic vibration. I'd like to keep it simple while covering all bases! (No RF for me.) Thank you for your advice! Kathy

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

Hi Clare, I have been bombarded with ads for the 'Rachel Rivers Facelift Wand' and you feature in their ad!!! However I cant find your review of this product on your channel ... did you test it out and what are your thoughts? Thanks a mill. Mairéad x

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!

I bought a Foreo bear mini a couple of months ago and was very pleasantly surprised by how healthy and glowy it left my skin after only a brief period of use (around a week). Having not tried any other microcurrent devices I don't know if this was down to the effect of the microcurrent or the T-Sonic massage. Anyway the effect was shortlived as i had to return it due to connectivity issues with the app. I'm very tempted to get the Ziip halo instead though I'm wondering if I'd miss the T-sonic massage that you get with the Bear mini! Unfortunately my purchase is on hold as i decided to try an RF device and ordered the Newa. I've been using it for a week (5 days) and i think I'm regretting my purchase (wishing I'd bought another microcurrent device). I'm obviously not expecting any effects from collagen induction yet but my skin just felt dehydrated after 5 days of use, and I'm fairly certain it's worsened a bit of pigmentation that had previously improved 🤦🏾‍♀️. I noticed you've stepped away from RF too and have similar goals to me (maintaining skin health) - how did your skin look/feel when you first started using RF?

Please take this as the compliment it is meant to be... you might want to reconsider your makeup routine because In my opinion, you look significantly younger without any makeup on.

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

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

Ok. Yes. Because the skin and muscles in the face are attached to each other. But what about the body. I bought the NuFACE nubody. And I’m uncertain about if it’s going to be a waste of time. Something i don’t have a lot of. I d appreciate ur honest review So much.

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?

hi thanks so much the information ,nut i need know more is micro current compare with bio micro current . TQ

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

Name of jells

O how i woul love to have a nice microcurrent device! In South Africa there is not much of a good choice to choose from...I do microcurrent, LED light, basically everything!!...but not all devices all equal. Love to watch(ALL) your videos and interesting topics with Dr's and Dermatologists - facts that are based on science. Love my gadgets!!!

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

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

With regards to facial fat loss, as you mentioned that would be nice for under the chin or maybe along the jowls but not good in the upper cheeks or forehead area. Do any of these devices have settings that would allow for a little bit of facial fat loss in some areas that can be adjusted to not lose fat in other areas?

If anyone is using the Nuface and feels any uncomfortableness the they are not using enough conduction gel

Plenty of commentary across various forums/groups regarding quality issues with the Halo. At the price they cost, you would expect better. There are alternatives if anyone is interested.

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

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!

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

Omg I’m tired of researching! I’m wrinkling as I listen! I have read many reviews of older women saying it helped their sagging so I feel like you’re discouraging some

I bought a Vega LED Space Touch. Just to realize my husband already surprised me with one at Christmas. I paid $4000 for it brand new box not opened. Now I want to sell it.

I switched to Foreo Bear 2 and never looked back. Fantastic microcurrent device

I'm using the Bear and it's really comfortable to use on my skin. It feels much more supple after using it.

I have issues with hypertrophy of the masseters due to clenching and grinding, which is a side effect to necessary medication I'm on. I actually worry about muscle stimulating devices because my masseters actually give me a band from my cheek/ear to my neck, which isn't particularly flattering.

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

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 ?

Hi Clare, thanks for sharing your info in such a concise and clear way. Have you ever tried the Nuskin galvanic spa device? Nuskin was one of the first to come out with such devices and I think Nu Face piggybacked on their name. Nuskin is using galvanic currents. I am not sure what the big difference is, if any.

This is so confusing to me. My plastic surgeon uses Botox to weaken the DAO and platysma muscles because he explained that these pull down and accelerate marionettes and sagging. I can’t imagine wanting to strengthen them to prevent aging. I also wonder if it would interfere with the effects of my Botox or counteract it entirely.

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

Do the micro current gels clog pores ? After each session should I wash off the gel before I continue with the rest of my routine ?

Great video. Do you think that the Phoenix is enough? I like gentle devices. :-)

hey,
I have a very specific question.
i think you have two ziip halo devices ?
can you please test if you hold only one contact per device to the skin, does the current go from one device to the other?
it would be so great to treat the face with two devices.
i only have one device and unfortunately i can't test it.

Hello! Thank you for the informations. What's your opinion on Geske's microcurrent skin scrubber & blackhead remover?

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. 🙏🏼😊

I have been using a Nuface for decades now. I am not sure if it has maintained a lift or not. I guess I would have to stop using it for a while to see if there was a difference. On a rare occasion I may have felt a little bit occur but generally speaking I have never been bothered with the current as long as I use enough gel. My aesthetician told me that it was important to use a fair bit of gel. I buy ultrasound gel online in a large professional size container and so it is much cheaper.

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

The problem with figuring out these devices for me is that people say: I used it x years or for 2 weeks and see dramatic improvement, but never say how long they are using it?? There are quickie programs and longer programs; are people mixing it up, just doing the shorter programs or always doing the longer timed programs? With all the variability in use, it would be helpful to know! Also good to know you felt the Nuface- I couldn' feel a thing. I just got it and I can't feel anything, unlike my ZIIP. Maybe mine broke in shipping, idk.

Greetings Clare! With nothing but respect.........you're such a beautiful lady. May God continue to bless you and yours.

Does it supposed to hurt? Lol like I feel a little electric current. Is that supposed to happen?

I think the Ziip is a miraculous device.The more I use it the more impressed I am. I am coming up to 8 months of using it and after learning more, really finding a benefit from some programs for chronic rosacea damage and also overall skin look. Now I use the founders favorite nano current twice in a row at the end while watching something and see an amazing benefit. I am always surprised this device is not more wll known. It is incredible.

Any experiences on sunken eyes , hyperpigmentation, double chin reduction with ziip?

Are there any devices you would recommend to lift the brows?

Can you possibly review the new newa cordless device? LOVE your channel. Thankyou 💫

Hi Clare, are there less expensive alternatives for the ZIIP halo gel that are sold in Europe?
