Review of the NūFace Home Use Facial Toning Device

[This thread about STOP RF and NūFace Microcurrent Home-Use Anti-Aging Wands, started Saturday.]

The NūFace Home Use Facial Toning Device brings another spa treatment home to you. Compare the price to a series of 12 or 13 spa microcurrent facials (the commonly recommended course which will run about $1800) and the NūFace wand is a bargain.

It’s really a quite simple appliance; so the price has come down a lot since the product was launched. The NūFace wand is powered by a 9V battery to produce microcurrents of up to 400 microamps (millionths of an amp) - similar to the body’s own bioelectric currents.

It would take over 300,000 microamps delivered at 120 volts to light a 40 watt bulb. It would take more than 11,000 NūFace devices turned to full power to light the same 40 watt bulb.

The wand must be used with a conductive gel to facilitate creating the electrical circuit and to help the device glide over the skin.

[Try using it without the gel and you will feel a little zap, as Rachel Ray did in an episode about the NūFace wand on The Dish with Lara Spencer. It was pretty funny. The NūFace wand has also been seen on the Today show.]

A facial treatment takes just 5 minutes a day. The wand should not be used over the eyes or mouth or on the center of the neck. Unfortunately, those are three areas that show the first signs of aging. The wand can also be used on the body.
