| Kassy, thanks for the info. I had looked at several websites about Facemaster and all the ones I could find say the machine uses microcurrent technology. One forum that was having a discussion about spa microcurrent treatments versus home microcurrent treatments had a member that called the Facemaster company and they confirmed that they used microcurrents. I noticed mpstat's comments that she certainly felt the Facemaster was more intense than NuFace. So maybe Facemaster just uses more microcurrent than NuFace? I don't know. And I also don't know if one machine is more effective than another or if comfort/convenience is where more of the difference lies. |

Microcurrent (electrical stimulation) is used widely in physical therapy. Whether a muscle moves or not is dependent of the strength of the current and the individual it is being applied to.
The harm from using it would be "overworked" muscle, so I would not be too concerned about it.
Facemaster resembles the professional equipment a lot more ( I had a professional service done at several spas).
That being said I am struggling with mine - when it works it seems to be doing something, most of the time I just can not get it to do a thing.
I am also on a fence about Nuface. I tried it a year ago, it did absolutely nothing for me and went back. This year being a year older I decided to give it another try, but only just started.
I got Facemaster specifically for the eye area (since there is nothing Nuface offers for that area).
FDA approval also does not usually mean much for that type of devices - in most cases that it causes no harm - nobody died from using it, nobody got burned, etc.
Just my 2 cents,
Lucy.
I am by no means an expert, so anyone more knowledgeable, please, feel free to correct me. |
