It’s like sit-ups for your face.

And for some reason, I felt like I owed it a fair shot before I KonMaried it away.

That would be the NuFACE, which she credits for a more sculpted look.

It fits neatly into the palm of your hand and is smooth to the touch.

It feels like a thick gel, but it spreads easily across the face.

As for the actual gadget, it doesn’t hurt at all.

You actually don’t feel a thing except it gliding along the “goo.”

The Science: What is Microcurrent?

Lets talk about how NuFace actually works.

For starters, the microcurrent technology it uses isnt exactly groundbreaking in expert circles.

They give the look of more prominent cheekbones and tighten up the look of saggy jowls, she says.

In addition, it can help visibly plump out lines and wrinkles to a certain degree.

When they begin to tone up, your face may take on a more sculpted look.

If you stop using it, the muscles will return to their original state, says Rouleau.

And Im still not entirely positive why that is.

While in my experience, well-placed filler is quite effective, the upkeep is also wildly expensive.

Technology at its finest, folks.
