Hi
Been around this forum for years-in and out of topics, and gadgets. Ultrasound was too boring -could not stick with it, nor LED. From all I know, and for my goals, Microcurrent is the tool that seems to sustain over the years, often get good reviews, etc. I have Tua V but several units broke, it is hard for me use based on physical issues, and time consuming, but like the FEEL of it on my face and believe it in, if that makes sense. NuFace seems easier.

NuFace has been around a long time. Do you think it still holds up as a good gadget, with a long shelf life compared to some newer things like Pico Toner? Pico seems to be getting amazing reviews. Heavily leaning to NuFace Trinity,would you too if Micro was goal? Just curious if people here still think NuFace is a good way to go for Microcurrent? It does not seem their other heads (wrinkle remover) are getting much good play.

I am thin, too thin, and face looks hollow and sunken. Skin texture is good and no skin issues. Need to lift eyes and cheeks and marionette line. Thanks for letting me vent. Need some puff and ooomph in my face, lol.

thanks all
Happy Friday

I have a NuFace Trinity, but I've recently ordered a PICO toner.

Nuface did nothing for me. I'm hoping PICO does. I'm fairly thin as well. Can let you know once I get my PICO.

I'd like to know as well. Personally I see myself starting with the NuFace and then if it doesnt work after a few months, working up to something else.

Hi,
I bought a Nufacein January and did use it consistently for 2 and a half months. Saw some results but not so much lifting, just healthier looking skin.
I did use it longer than suggested and got some better results but my skin got irritated from using it that way in just 2 days.
Finally, I bought a Pico about a month ago. I really like it.
I saw immediate lift and improvement. I enjoy using it so far and feel I can access much more of my face with it.
The Nuface was so awkward for me to use. Although I think it might be a good tool for someone who is just starting to see skin change.
I think it would have helped me in my late thirties and early forties.
At 54, I need the pico and it is working for me.

I guess this works out for me because I dont drink alcohol Laughing

I'm 41, have a Nu Face from Nordstrom that I just started using. At first I was perplexed at not seeing any results, until I realized I was using it at the lowest setting. Laughing Jacked it up this morning and I see more noticeable lifting.

I think in some circumstances more is not better, so I think I am going to go down this path of moderation and see where it leads me before thinking about investing in the Pico. From what I can gather it seems way more complex not to mention expensive..I think for someone like me I mostly need to be more attentive to my lifestyle as it impacts my skin and health, and use more moderate gadgets. I will however be following talk about the Pico, as I always like to expand my knowledge. The worst thing in my book is not being informed.

I'm hoping to bring this thread back to life!!! What I have read lately is that the TUA is more plumping for the skin, Pico and Nuface are more contouring and lifting. I also read Tua can cause atrophy, not sure which site had that review... So to the girls and guys who have tried these which one is the best in your opinion? For myself I have a very thin face which I would love to plump up. Cheeks have become a little hollow as I've gotten older and I hate it! Smile Some fine lines and sensitive skin but no big issues, normal aging. I would love to purchase something soon but not sure which device would be most suited for me.

I'm not sure the tua is "true" microcurrent so it may be worse for your muscles over the long term.

LOL that is fantastic. I do like Bloody Mary's so....

It does seem to have its lovers and fans. I wish I could afford it. Wish the price would come down a hundred dollars, or more. WISHFUL thinking. Glad you are liking it. Good results I assume with Pico?

Hi!

I never bought PICO, it is way pricey. I would love it really but it also seems a little complex for me. I like a simple routine and I have nerve damage, issues in hands and the gloves may not be ideal for me. YET that is exactly what I like about it, the idea of the gloves and being able to use it full body. WISHING I had a PICO...and was 20 yrs younger, lol
