I received the mini NuFace during holidays last year and began using them (albeit intermittently) and I want to share some thoughts and reviews on it for those that are interested in considering purchasing one. Prior to getting one for myself, a friend from High School has introduced me to the device and claimed that NuFACE has taken years off and helps lifting the face. This makes me really intrigued because she was an RN and when someone has a medical background recommend a product, I usually give it more credibility. So let’s get to today’s Posh Mom Beauty Review.
WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS
NuFACE is a handheld device that uses microcurrents (cleared by the FDA) for facial stimulation. The microcurrents are said to tone and sculpt the face with consistent and continual use. The most popular treatment done by most NuFace users is the 5-Minute Facelift which claims to improve facial contour, skin tone, and wrinkle reduction across the jawline, cheek area and forehead.
On both Sephora and Nordstrom for NuFace, the reviews were mainly positive, with most users validating the product claims to improve facial appearance especially in conturing, lifting and minimizing wrinkles. The device is advertised as “Toning” and not wrinkle reducing permanently so it does has its limitations as to how effective and long lasting the treatments are.
HOW TO USE IT
Suggested Usage:
-Each treatment should last five to 20 minutes.
-Use the NuFACE Device at least five times a week, for the first 90 days. After that, use two to three times a week to maintain results.
-Start by washing your face with an oil-free cleanser. Men should shave before use as hair can interfere with the conductivity.
-Glide along the natural contours of your face, in an upward motion. Each glide should last five seconds.
-Repeat three times.
-Remove the NuFACE Primer with a warm, damp washcloth.
-Apply your favorite NuFACE Serum (optional) and preferred moisturizer.
Posh Mom Tip: When the NuFACE gel runs out, aloe vera is a much less expensive but equally effective option.
HERE IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
The device is very simple to use and cleaning process is extremely easy. There is no pain, but in areas where there is little or no gel (near the hairline), the micro-current gives that little Zap ever so slightly. I didn’t follow the instruction to use the product 5 days straight in the beginning. It was on and off intermittently (when I have time) so the result wasn’t too prominent or noticeable. Week 3 is when I started the device more regularly and I see subtle but marked improvement. My cheeks seemed more sculpted, and overall my face looked firmer. The downside is that this takes a lot of dedication and consistency. When you don’t use the device for a few days, the “training” stops and so does the result.
I like to use the device for about 20 minmutes before bedtime, two five minute sessions on each side and also for another 5 minutes during the day when I wake up and when my face is the puffiest. It works well in reducing swelling and sculpting those cheek bones. This product brought improvements to my face within 2-3 weeks, and I will continue to use it daily. If I had it to do over, I would possibly get the NuFACE Trinity which allows for advanced treatments with adjustable power levels although the mini one is perfect for travelling. Also, I am not sure how much of this result is affected by my Forma treatment which also has a lifting benefit from the facial I have been doing in January. Now that I’ve stopped Forma facial, I will continue to try NuFace alone and let you guys know the results.
I hope this helps if you’ve been thinking about purchasing a NuFACE. If you give it a try, please let me know if it works for you. Do you have or use one already?
Thank you all for reading!

You have amazing skin Sheree! I haven’t tried anything like this but I’m intrigued! I’m quite lazy when it comes to home treatments, I usually just do the bare minimum skincare routine.

I’ve heard such great things about NuFace. I need to give this skincare regiment a go!

The NUFace definitely sounds like a product that all ladies can use at some point in their lives. At my current stage in life, I am getting annoying smile lines around my mouth and could use a little help in that area. It’s great to know there’s a tool like this that helps to reduce fine lines and improve firmness like this guy!

You have beautiful skin! This sounds amazing and something I would like to consider trying especially I’m too scared to get fillers/Botox done on my face. This sounds much safer! 😊

Very informative post! I will have to check out the brand soon.
I’ve actually been thinking I need something like this for my skin lately! Does it actually smooth out wrinkles and gives you a mini facelift? Sounds so good!

Hello dear, such a beautiful review and thank you for sharing this. I’m obsessed with the devices, I’m using at home ultrasonic ion+ nutri for my dry skin and my hydratation is complete.
I’m firmly believe to match good products and device.

I’ve been using my NuFace device since January and love it. I can’t say that it’s made a major change to my face, but I definitely think it helps since I keep going back to it. I think this review is perfect for anyone thinking of purchasing the device. While it is an investment, it is one worth doing, although you definitely have to be consistent for sure. Thanks for sharing this and I will have to start using aloe vera soon since my gel is running out. =). Your skin looks amazing by the way! xoxo, Christine

I’ve always been curious of those devices and whether or not they worked! I’ve got a Foreo that cleanses the skin but I guess it should almost work similarly in a way… Going to have to check this out the next time I’m in Sephora over here!!
I am scared of needles so have never has the courage to try any kind of skin injection. This Nu device sounds right up my alley. Your skin looks firm and beautiful and it looks that Nu really work magic on you. I am going to check it out. Thanks for sharing.

I am obsessed with skincare and I love trying new products. This tool made me curious and I’d love to try it!

I’ve always wandered what are these little machines for. I always wanted to use one but honestly didn’t know how to use it and didn’t know if it was worth it because sometimes they are little expensive. Judging by your flawless skin and how you have incorporate this device to your routine I should for sure give it a try! Thanks for sharing your personal experience.

It’s really apparent through the photos that the nuface is doing wonders to your skin! Of course, i also don’t believe that any at-home treatment can deliver permanent results, but if it helps even a little with each use, then I’m down to try it too!

Love this review! Anti-aging products are so tricky because I don’t know about anyone else, but they tend to make me break out? I’d be super interested to see how this product worked, and I’m loving that you gave a cheaper alternative once the brand gel runs out.
P.s do you think this product helps at all with keeping blemishing away? Just curious!
xoxo,

I have heard about it from other bloggers, but not sure how many use it all the time. I guess, I have to test myself and see if it works. I usually try to not touch my face that often to avoid stretching.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on NuFACE! I have been meaning to look into this! The only thing that gets me is the 20 minutes for 5 days! I am way more of a “do it when I have time,” kind of gal. I guess my boyfriend couldn’t use this either! I’m sure his beard would really get messed up! LOL!
Thank you!
