Find out all the similarities and differences between\u00a0<\/span>FOREO’s BEAR™ range<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and NuFACE’s microcurrent devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Have you noticed<\/span>\u00a0all the buzz around microcurrent facials<\/span><\/a>\u00a0lately? The treatment has emerged as a noninvasive yet super-efficient alternative to facelifts and Botox, thanks to its ability to tone the muscles in your face and minimize the look of wrinkles and fine lines without pain or recovery time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, you don’t have to book appointments and visit estheticians for a microcurrent treatment: at-home devices work just as well, saving you time and money in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there are many devices to choose from so if you’re looking for reviews, comparisons and in-depth tutorials, we scoured the internet to narrow it down for you. Two devices that stand out by popularity in the skincare world are\u00a0<\/span>FOREO’s BEAR™ range<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and NuFACE’s microcurrent devices. Before we get to independent reviews of both, let us explain how does microcurrent work to rejuvenate your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How Does Microcurrent Affect the Look of Our Skin?<\/h2>\n

Long story short, it has a lot to do with ATP. ATP molecules act as our body\u2019s cellular energy. They assist with collagen and elastin production and cell regeneration. As we age, ATP levels decline, as do\u00a0<\/span>collagen and elastin<\/span><\/a>\u2014the most abundant proteins in our body that give support and elasticity to our skin. This results in wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that even though we cannot reverse time, we can nudge it to flow a bit slower (metaphorically speaking)\u2014at least when it comes to our skin. Except for a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care, microcurrent treatments have been\u00a0<\/span>scientifically proven<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to remarkably increase ATP concentration in cells (by up to 400%!) and thus combat signs of aging such as wrinkles<\/a> and sagging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Do You Need to Know Before the Treatment?<\/h2>\n

Microcurrent has been used for medicinal purposes for decades and is a safe, non-invasive anti-aging treatment<\/a> for the face and neck. If you\u2019re new to the practice, you should know a couple of things. Microcurrent facial devices are designed to be used on your face and neck only – do not use the device on the chest\/breast area, eye area, mid-line (orbital bone) of the neck, and genitals\/groin area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microcurrent devices must be used with a conductive gel or serum<\/a>. Without it, microcurrent will not penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and will just prick the surface without any effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Independent Reviews of Microcurrent Devices<\/h2>\n

Now that we explained how microcurrent works to keep your face and neck tones, and things you should know before the treatment, let\u2019s check the reviews for both FOREO\u2019S BEAR™ range and NuFACE\u2019s microcurrent devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

PureWow<\/h3>\n

After seeing it in action on Instagram, Kara from PureWow decided to test and<\/span>\u00a0review FOREO BEAR™<\/span><\/span><\/a>. And after a couple of treatments, Kara was left with just one regret:<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line? I wish I\u2019d given facial toning devices a try sooner.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Opposable thumbs blog<\/b><\/h3>\n

Joanne has been reviewing beauty & lifestyle products on her blog for over 12 years. However, some products still manage to surprise her. And<\/span>\u00a0BEAR™ did just that<\/span><\/a>! She was already using NuFACE Mini for 18 months when she got hold of BEAR™. One of the things that blew her away was the Anti-shock™ system, unique to FOREO:<\/span><\/p>\n

The anti-shock system used by Foreo is something I think will reassure anyone new to using a microcurrent device. This works by scanning your skin as you use the device, measuring your resistance to electricity at the rate of 100x per second. It then adjusts the microcurrent intensity (in just 0.002 seconds) to best suit your skin.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unboxing Beauty<\/b><\/h3>\n

The unboxing beauty herself unboxed BEAR™ mini, followed the app tutorial and concluded she prefers <\/span>BEAR™ mini over NuFACE<\/span><\/a> because it was smaller, more compact and didn\u2019t shock her face. She also loves <\/span>T-Sonic™ pulsations<\/span><\/a> that come along with this mighty device!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a better alternative to NuFace Mini.\u00a0 I found that I used this several times a week whereas my NuFace Mini was collecting dust ever since I purchased it the other year.\u00a0 I really love that it doesn\u2019t shock my face and therefore, I am more inclined to use it.\u00a0 My skin looks more smooth and feels softer.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
