2 thumbs way up for NuFace Microcurrent device (wrinkles, hairdresser, skin)

[lemon&lime]

I wrote about this earlier in the year wondering if anyone had heard of or bought one. I went ahead and bought one anyway but didn't use it till last night. I wasn't sure it would work, although there are testimonials about it online there are not that many. Anyway, wow, after just one use my whole face felt/looked tighter and lifted. FOR REAL. My face still feels lifted nearly 24 hours later!!!! I noticed people checking me out all day today which is refreshing, considering the fact that I'll be 39 next week and in the last few years have started to feel "invisible" in public. It is simply the most amazing $300 I have ever spent on anything. My approach to skin care/aging has been careful over the years-- I wear sunscreen, exfoliate, use special moisturizers like Prevage, and have done low glycemic diets like Perricone.
NuFace is now an absolute must-have, something I will never be able to live without. I understand that many people are using injectables (Botox, Restylane, etc.) as an antiaging solution but that is out of my budget.

Just how does microcurrent facial toning work? To understand that, we first need to understand what causes our facial skin to wrinkle and sag. As we age, our muscles become accustomed to certain expressions and tend to “stick” in these positions. A great example of this is the furrow between the eyebrows that many people get. At the same time, other muscles in our face are hardly ever used, and they begin to atrophy, which leads to sagging. An example of this can often be seen around our jaw lines, chins and necks where we tend to develop sagging or loss of definition as we get older.
Microcurrent facial toning machines sends safe, painless impulses to the muscles in your face that help overly-tightened muscles to relax and helps under worked muscles to regain strength. In essence, microcurrent facial toning “re-educates” the facial muscles and restores them back almost to their original shape.
When this happens the visible results are quite dramatic and the face is lifted, firmed and toned back to a much more youthful appearance. At the same time, the microcurrents improve circulation to your face which stimulates production of collagen, improves tone and texture, and improves or eliminates fine lines.

For a price tag of over 350$ it should make you look like Miss Universe.

The NuFace device costs about $300, not $350, and based on having used it only a couple of times it has already more than paid for itself. The day after I used it, which was only one time, I ran in to a younger guy who I hadn't seen in about 5 years who is about ten years younger than me. Anyway, I mentioned, wow, you must be 30 now (we met when he was in college) & he commented that I still look like I am 20 something and asked for my number. I would say that is an exaggeration, I look at least 30, but that is a lot better than being told I look my age or older. Yesterday I went to have my hair cut and and asked my hairdresser if she thought my skin looks better, she said yes, that my whole face looked a whole lot tighter and more toned. I don't think she would say this just to flatter me; I have been her client for nearly a year. I did not have to use the thing for weeks or months on end to get this result either; I have used the thing less than a week!!! NuFace is a total bargain in my opinion. It is one of the best kept secrets.
