I’m a little bit of a device junkie. This one is a long-standing favorite! It’s got so many options, and the probes that come with the machine are genuinely effective for lifting and sculpting the face- it’s hard to imagine you could get the same effectiveness in a device where the micro current points are fixed. To use this machine you need a conductive gel or material, and then you manipulate the probes over the muscles of the face, either lifting or flattening depending on the mode. In addition to the probes, you can purchase conductive masks (shown in my pic), conductive gloves, and even a gua sha. Pros: lightweight, cordless, REALLY long battery life (includes charging cord), easy to use, painless, can be used with multiple accessories. Cons: kinda bulky. The probes require conductive gel which can be messy and inconvenient and potentially expensive depending on your choice of gel. I use an inexpensive medical gel. My favorite hack for this is using the accessories over a water based (and thus conductive!) sheet mask- getting the benefit of both, and I feel like the micro current really drives the serum into my skin. Lastly- you MUST be consistent with this device to maintain results.
