The NuFACE makes use of Microcurrent technology which is painless.
If you are using your NuFACE microcurrent device properly, with a layer of NuFACE Primer covering your skin, you should feel a very mild sensation or no sensation at all. The NuFACE devices do not vibrate or contract the muscles; the microcurrent gently stimulates the face with the low-level electrical current. To Troubleshoot: If you are concerned that your NuFACE (microcurrent) device is not working properly, follow these steps.
Turn the device to the highest level and place BOTH spheres on your clean, dry face (no primer, moisturizer, etc.) for no longer than ONE audible beep. As a precaution, please do not keep the NuFACE (microcurrent) device on your face without NuFACE Primer for longer than one beep.
You may feel a “pinch” or “stinging” sensation which indicates your NuFACE is working properly.
TIP: If you start out feeling no sensation, but during the treatment, you begin to feel the current, the NuFACE Primer layer may be drying or too thin. Refresh by spraying the NuFACE Optimizing Mist or add more NuFACE Primer to the areas experiencing sensation. Remember, both spheres must always be touching the skin simultaneously for the treatment to be effective.
