Do Dermal Tone, NuFace, or Tua Viso really work?

Hi,
I am looking to tighten sagging facial muscles and have been reading about these three devices on this forum. Most people seem to love the Dermal Tone and say it's actually made more than just "temporary" changes to their faces. NuFace gets the most "temporary refresher" reviews and there are mixed reviews on Tua Viso as well. Can anyone who has used these devices chime in on which one has made the most significant and lasting changes? I've been doing FlexEffect but would like to do find a device to do the work for me. Thanks for any advice! Very Happy

Dermal Tone - I used this when I was a 47 year old with absolutely perfect skin, no lines and no sag whatsoever... I liked it, but couldn't really tell you why... Then it broke, and it was made too chintzy to replace it for $160.

NuFace - To be honest, I hated everything about it; Waaaaay overpriced, awkward to use, great big freezing cold balls ( Bad Grin

) that my smallish face just couldn't accommodate, and after using it for a couple of months didn't do a thing for my facial muscles. (Although I must be fair, and tell you that when I used it on the back of my leg and booty, it actually worked there...go figure.. Embarassed

) Anyway, just when I was ready to give it another go, it broke... [Changing the battery is a real effort, and the wire just came apart when I changed it for the 2nd time...Real junk in MHO]

Flex Effect - My journey with this product has been long, upsetting and for the most part, non-productive. But with that said, I would also add, that this product is just not for me... I abhor exercise altogether, and in order to see results with this product, you must commit to do it every single day of your life..... And it could actually be a year's commitment, before you see any results... Shock

I also don't like how secretive it all is... If a question is asked, anywhere outside of the private FE members forum, all of a sudden, an *instructor* comes out of the woodwork, to shut you up before you share a deep dark secret... Laughing

.. So now that I'm in the so called loop, I'm still trying to find out what all the fuss is about. (Personally I would recommend the "Facial Magic" program, which offers a clear cut video instruction that is precise and easy to follow. Now that I've used both, I would have to recommend the FM as the best all around facial exercise program.) To sum it up, I found Flex Effect old fashioned, confusing, (especially the massage.. Rolling Eyes

) and way to much of a commitment for me.. I also found it a real problem to 'isolate' the muscles in several of the exercises, which actually caused a few wrinkles under my eyes that I didn't have previously....

You didn't ask specifically, but I can also tell you that I used and tossed the Suzanne Somers Face Master, and one or two other miracle workers through the years..

All of the above is just my 2 cents worth. Many members here love the "Flex Effect" program, and swear by it. In fact the reason I purchased it at all was because several members that I highly respect here at EDS recommended it. It just didn't do it for me because I'm a lazy, impatient slug, and prefer devices that offer more of an instant gratification.. Laughing

..

Good luck in your search for the device that will do all the work for you... Laughing

Be sure to share it here when you find it.. Laughing
