At his Phoenix, AZ practice, dermatologist Dr. Karan Lal has access to all the lotions, potions, treatments and tech. But when it comes to at-home products, there’s one splurge-worthy suggestion he always makes.
“The one at-home device I swear by is NuFACE.” Dr. Lal says. “I think microcurrent is amazing. It is a fancy way of doing Gua Sha, but it really does have the benefits.”
Not only is the high-tech tool a personal favorite for Dr. Lal, but it’s something he recommends to patients as well.
“It helps reduce facial swelling, and it helps tone,” he says. “It’s great before an event, but I strongly suggest to use it daily. You’ll literally see your face get ‘snatched!'”
While the beloved FDA-cleared device comes in different kits, colors and sizes, the same benefit goes across the board: To “tap” the benefits of microcurrent to sculpt the face and neck, smooth lines, lift brows and contour cheekbones in minutes.
“Worth the investment,” wrote one happy Amazon customer. “I’m 54 so it’s taken a few sessions, but definitely noticing my face feels and looks perkier. And there’s already an improvement in texture. Definitely recommend the eye/lip attachment.”
Celebs love the microcurrent technology, too: “The NuFACE Mini Facial Toning Device ($220) is a current favorite—it’s a bit of a splurge, but it’s a wonderful product from a female-founded company,” Kate Hudson previously shared with us. “It has different attachments—one tightens fine lines and another uses infrared for collagen stimulation—but it’s easy to use. If you are able to spend a little more, this is a great little tool that’s wonderful for your skin.”
