The Easy Way to Get Visibly Tighter, Healthier Skin

Welcome to the wild world of microcurrent facial devices.

Lately, facial yoga and skin gyms are all the rage— and this is one trend that might have more to it than the hype factor.

Little did we know, the face has over 30 muscles, all of which are apparently in dire need of a workout.

Like all good gyms, a little equipment always helps to get things in shape. And cue, microcurrent facial devices.

Microcurrent stimulation has been around for decades and was initially used to treat facial paralysis caused by conditions like Bell’s Palsy. It is also used in hospitals to aid with wound healing and physical therapists to help with pain relief.

But over the last few years, microcurrent facials and devices have infiltrated the beauty world to become one of the most effective (and affordable) therapies to help lift and tone the face.

How Do Microcurrent Facial Devices Work?

According to Healthline, “Microcurrent uses low-voltage electricity to stimulate muscle, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cell growth, and collagen development in the dermis on the face.”

While salon and at-home microcurrent devices differ in looks; the principle is the same. An electrical current flows between positive and negatively charged conductors. When the silver rods or spheres touch your face, the current runs through the muscles—helping to stimulate them, giving your face a much-needed workout.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Microcurrent Facial Device?

Microcurrents are known to have a plethora of beauty benefits, from helping to redefine and enhance your features, easing those pesky signs of ageing and helping to tone and lift your face.

They are also known to stimulate collagen and elastin production, boost blood and lymph circulation and even enhance the penetration of your favourite serums and skincare products. Reviewers also report having glowing, more radiant skin after using these nifty devices.

Microcurrent facials are all about re-educating and re-training your facial muscles, which means long-lasting results and an overall more youthful appearance. Sign me up!

Bonus benefits include being non-invasive, totally pain-free and easily done from the comfort of your home.

The Best Microcurrent Facial Devices

NuFace Mini

Several at-home solutions on the market will get your jaw sculpted and cheekbones defined in no time. Our favourite is the NuFace Mini from Mecca, which although little, packs a big beauty punch. “In just 5 minutes a day, this portable take-anywhere device will improve the definition, tone and texture of the skin whilst imparting a youthful glow.”

It’s non-invasive, easy to use and promises to define facial contours, reduce wrinkles, and tighten sagging skin. With over 100 5-star reviews, this little device appears to be a crowd-pleaser.

Amazing Daily Facial!

“I bought this two weeks ago and saw an immediate difference on my face the first day I used it. It’s become a part of my daily ritual and is not only helping to sculpt and lift my face but also feels very therapeutic.” - SandraP

Amazing Results!

“I’ve been using the mini for three months just a few times a week and am LOVING the results. The instant uplift and sustained change over time are both impressive and make this worth every penny. I used it on my 76-year-old grandmother, and now she comes over weekly for her spa treatment.” – Vanessa

Foreo BEAR™

Another top contender is the Foreo BEAR™ Microcurrent Facial Toning Device from Sephora. The device has a unique Anti-Shock ᵀᴹ System that can measure your skin’s resistance to electricity and adjust the microcurrent setting to suit your face.

It features an ergonomic and lightweight design, five microcurrent intensities, a USB charging cable, travel pouch, sample serum and a 2-year warranty. This review has us sold:

10/10 Amazing Tool

“Highly recommend this tool! I did a lot of research on microcurrent tools and found this is the most advanced tech on the market right now. Love that it’s waterproof and that there’s an anti-shock feature (something Nuface doesn’t have). I wish I took before and after photos because I visibly saw results after first use. My jawline is more snatched, and cheekbones more pronounced. “
