NuFace Review Summary |
|
NuFace is not a line of cosmetics, but rather a battery-operated device that sends a small electric current to the muscles of the face, “reprogramming” muscles to their original shape. According to the NuFace website, muscles tend to memorize certain movements, and over time this repetition can cause the skin on the face to crease and form lines. It also goes not to suggest that, firming and toning facial muscles helps to prevent the formation of wrinkles, and makes existing lines appear smoother. Another purported “benefit” of this device is increases the flow of blood to the skin, increasing cell turnover and encouraging collagen production.
Microcurrent treatments for wrinkles were quite popular in dermatologists’ offices during the 1980’s, but they became less common once Botox emerged on the scene. Considering the cost of an at-home device, consumers may want to look elsewhere for ensured results.

| Device at a Glance |
|
The NuFace device is of course the main component of this system, but it is meant to be used along with the Carol Cole line of cosmetics. Some of the products in this line include: Optimizing Mist, Firming Eye Treatment with DMAE, Anti-Aging Cream, Delicate Moisturizing Cream, Lightening Renu Treatment, Celular Night Cream, Collagen Booster with Copper, Vitamin A + AHA Serum, and C Serum.

| Products In Focus |

The NuFace system is based on the principles of Microcurrent treatments, in which an electric current heats fibrous connectors that attach muscle to the skin's underside, causing those connectors to contract. The manufacturer claims that over time, users will notice less sagging as blood flow improves and collagen regenerates itself.
Many dermatologists who perform similar treatments in their offices report that while some patients are very pleased with the results, many walk away disappointed, as the procedure cannot match the effectiveness of surgical treatments. Considering the total cost of the NuFace device and the accompanying skincare products, this treatment may not offer adequate savings.
Consumers who are interested in trying a noninvasive wrinkle treatment may want to consider a product containing the peptide complex Argireline, which has been shown to reduce the frequency of small facial muscles. Much like Botox wrinkles, this action helps to stave off the formation of fine lines.

The NuFace s website contains relatively little information about how exactly the microcurrent device works to combat the signs of aging. Consumers who are considering investing a minimum of $450 may find that they have to perform additional research in order to be certain that this device will meet their needs.
The section devoted to the accompanying Carol Cole skincare products is slightly more helpful, as it posts descriptions of the main active ingredients in each product. Unfortunately, this does not make up for the lack of details on the key component of this system.
