I noticed a difference on you and on me too. Your cumulative is more glowing and taut. I notice increased tautness for myself after each use too, the following day.

@@IndigooceanOrg It is subtle, but I feel I see it too. Glad I am not imagining things...

Doctor will which device will you recommend for someone who is 50? The medicube or NuFace device ? Which one do you find it better ? Thank you 🙏

@@kazl5701 I have a video where I compare all of them after one year here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNiTeb2Vy7-1cZc.html It depends on what you are after.

@@DoctorAnne thank you Doctor 😇

That is interesting. I don't have mich problems with water retention, so I didn't notice that.

You are welcome. I am excited to hear what your experience is with long term use.

I am glad it works so well for you.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Oh wow, that really is expensive!

Ist it something you have been interested in buying?

I will do a check in for sure, but I am not sure if it will be after 3 months. I was thinking more like mid-year 2023.

@@DoctorAnne We will be waiting!

@@adrienneromelle2816 I already have it on my planned videos list, promise.

Can you use on the under eye area, I have bags. Have had a course of exilis that helps, but thought this may help also

The brand says that for optimal results, you should stick to their gel. I have personally used my devices with ultrasound gel in the past and it worked for me, but that is a personal observation. Obviously you are using it against manufacturer recommendations then, which is something you need to be aware of when making that decision.

I don't have a specific one, I just get some from Amazon.

No, I haven't. I am not a huge fan of things that "Increase the absorption of topicals". Topicals are usually designed with regular absorption in mind, so increasing that isn't always a good thing.

@@DoctorAnne it is supposed to increase the absorption of any skincare. Koreans barely use retinols or actives in their skincare because they have strict regulations there and are heavily focused on hydration

@@elithluxe7568 I know, but even Hyaluronic Acid, when going deeper than intended, can lead to problems, so I am not worried about so-called "actives" only.

​@@DoctorAnne I don't know much about these products never having used these at 23 but I want to start now and for my mom too. I have been reading up on things about fat loss caused by these types of products which is one of my worries. You mentioned that only high strengths can lead to fat loss in another reply so for level 5 strength, could this product also cause fat loss? I was originally going to get the Ussera for my mom but as she has a thin face, she will kill me if I mess it up and make her look more gaunt.

@@elithluxe7568 I have been using it for a very long time now and haven't lost fat at all, despite using it on the highest level.

The increase in collagen and the increased firmness can make the face appear plumper and I don't think with the strength of this device you'll get fat loss. Fat loss is not something you'd want here, it is more of a possible side effect when high strengths are used.

@@DoctorAnne Thank you! I'm really considering but would not want to exacerbate fat loss in cheeks as that's one of my key concerns.

@@yashereen There are other options you can use if you want to be 100% on the safe side.

@@DoctorAnne Thank you! I got a microcurrent device which I'm testing out.

@@yashereen Which one did you get?

That is a tricky question I can't answer because as far as I know there are no comparison studies seeing if one works better than the other or if they multiply or hinder their effects when combined. My approach is that all of these things will only have a very small effect when they are an at-home device (for safety reasons), so a combination will get more results because they all work by a slightly different mechanism. But if that is true? All I can say that using things more frequently won't increase the results once you reached a certain point. But it is certain that you don't need all of these for a good routine and that SPF and retinoids as well as a healthy lifestyle are probably more important.

I am not planning on reviewing the others right now, I have other devices at the moment and they take a long time to properly test out. In the set were different adapters, similar to the sets you'd get for traveling.

I do treatment first and then wash my face and do skincare. If you use the original gel, you can also pat it in and not wash your face, but rather treat it as a serum, I personally don't really like doing that though.

I never noticed red spots on my skin related to using it, but it is hard to tell what your spots stem from - I can't say for sure what they could be and if they could be related to the way you used the device.

I sadly can't say as I only tried this one.

Both work through different mechanisms, so it is hard to directly compare them: NuFace aims to plump up the muscles, this one aims to induce collagen, so which one is best for you as individual depends on your main concern as well as on your lifestyle (how often are you willing to do a treatment, how much time are you willing to invest,...). I personally see more effect after I started radiofrequency, but I didn't stop my microcurrent treatment (and even if I would have, the results wouldn't disappear anyway), so I will continue using both. If I, given my facial structure and lifestyle, HAD to pick one, it would right now be radiofrequency.

I personally have seen best results with RF in the long run, but depending on your budget, maybe seeing a professional for advice what they would recommend for you would be the best way to start? Even if I feel that my chin/ jaw area is a little more lifted, it is far from the results professional treatment would have been able to give me.

It is designed to be used on the face and not evaluated for other areas of the body.

It is the same with the one from Current Body - each section 5, rarely 10 minutes, but that adds up! Any conductive gel will do - the ones from ZIIP are really cosmetically elegant, but also really expensive, so you have to see how much you are willing to spend... The effect is the same, only the experience changes.

I use different ones, usually the ones I get from Amazon that are on sale, but that depends on the location you live in.

According to the brand it uses both, hence the Dual Therapy claim, so Ultrasound and High Frequency.

I strongly suggest you watch the video I made about the science behind radiofrequency here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNOWZJWn3bHNmp8.html I specifically talk about fat loss in it. I personally have not seen fat loss in the face with this device, but there are different factors that influence that. if it affects your Botox and fillers depends on the fillers used/ the area they were applied to and should be discussed with the provider that did the invasive treatment, I can't give a general answer there.

The stimulation in collagen will have an effect on wrinkles as well, but probably not a huge one with the at home devices. Similar to this I personally don't see a risk for fat loss with the at-home devices either, as their settings should be safe even on the highest part. If you are 47 and only now start to have laugh lines, your skin sounds pretty awesome to begin with! What else are you doing?

@@DoctorAnne thanks Doc! I’m not doing much other than normal skin care routine! The only “device” I have is the Refa carat face. I’m not sure if it’s helping much. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just have lots of crows feet and some laugh lines! Any devices you recommend for wrinkles?

As long as it is subtle sagging, the Medicube might help, but if it gets more intense, an in office treatment or maybe surgical intervention might be needed. I don't think that the NuFACE makes it worse though - I have one too and use it. The other Medicube device isn't one I have tried, so I can't really comment on it.

@Doctor Anne Thank you so much ❤️ it's subtle so I'll just be thankful for that and continue with the nuface

@@CGLiz You are welcome.

If your doctor advised you to stay away, I would follow his lead. It isn't so much the red light that would make me hesitant here than the heat it creates in the tissue that can worsen melasma.

You are welcome.

I do have one dental implant, and while I am mindful to not use it directly on top of it, that is more because it might heat up and cause pain rather than because I am afraid of other problems.

I am still using it, but I never had my face feel painful afterwards.

@@DoctorAnne My jaw line gets achy next day. I am not sure if I should continue use or return the device. Please advise.

@@2001manisha I can't advise on your specific situation, but in general I wouldn't keep using something that would give me pain.

Out of these two, the Medicube is the one that will have more results, but for both it will be very subtle.

i have used Derma EMS shot for 01 year now and I highly rcm you buy this, worth every penny

@@bichngocnguyenthi5521 Thank you for sharing your experience.

@@bichngocnguyenthi5521 Thank you.

@@DoctorAnne Thank you.

It is not in the recommended treatment, so I wouldn't do it, but if you want to, you could contact the brand with that question.

That depends on the reason for the eye bags.

It will not replenish fat and the increased plumpness will not be enough to replace the volume the fat gave you.

With a damp wash cloth.

No, it is just warm.

I did not experience fat loss in my face through using it.

Thank you so much 😊

@@EllieQHuynh You are welcome.

No, I haven't.

According to the manufacturer it is a device that combines ultrasound with additional high frequency, but in the leaflet they also mention radiofrequency. As the effect of the two in the skin overlaps, I don't think it makes a huge difference, it just differs in depth of penetration and in if the heating of the skin is more targeted or more diffuse.

@@DoctorAnne Thank You! I am glad to hear it doesn’t really make a difference. I Love your channel, I just found you and subscribed. I am looking forward to future videos!

@@ginarooks8504 Welcome to the community then. If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Isn’t radio frequency and high frequency the same? Not being rude, just really want to know.

You can in general use this after professional treatments, but when should be discussed with the person that did the treatment.

@@DoctorAnne okay, thank you!

You are welcome.

This device is not designed to be used on the body, so I can't answer that. But RF in general can be used for that purpose.

Thank you.

No, I have not tried any other devices I could compare that one against yet.

Yes, the tutorial on the website does include the neck as well.

They aren't tested on pregnant people, so the company advises against that.

Generally speaking yes.

I am, three times a week, and I am really satisfied. Will do an update mid-year.

Thanks a lot! Can't wait to see your update video.

@DoctorAnne! Hi, is this safe for brown skin/skin of color? Will this cause hyperpigmentation? Thank you

I wouldn't risk that either.

Hi, i wanted to buy this for my mom. I was wondering why it shouldn’t be used who has melasma? Thank u in advance for your response!

@@mainedevera2304 Dr. Sam Ellis did a video this week on what devices can be used with melasma. Mine is stubborn and I’m unwilling to take risks with it.

@@mainedevera2304 Melasma can be deepend by heat in the skin.

Hi doctor anne, i am a 35 yo asian. If I have age spots and hyperpigmentation due to past acne, is it safe to use the ussera? I am so tempted since i have dry skin and I'd like to boost collagen n tighten my smile lines.

No, it is not incorrect. This is a combination device, it also has ultrasound. But you can just turn it on and off and adjust the intensity, there is no switching between different settings.

@@DoctorAnne ok thank you😊 just wanted to make sure I had it right. I know with their EMS device there was some confusion regarding the modality.

@@kmw97 To be honest, I don't find the leaflet with the information the most informative here either.

أنا أحاول بأفضل ما لدي

No, I have only used this one from the brand. Have you?

@@DoctorAnne Not yet. I am waiting for your review first.

@@adrienneromelle2816 I am not sure if I will get one to review.

While it would be possible, these devices are designed for a certain depth of penetration in which they provide their effect. As the fat and muscle patch on your forehead is way less than it is on your cheeks, I would double check with the manufacturer before using it there.

@@DoctorAnne so our forehead skin is thinner than our cheeks? Thx for thw replying and i will wait for your response about the forehead area.

@@rosnizarabdulrahim656 I am sorry if I am unclear: Nor the skin is thinner, but you have less fat and thinner muscles on your forehead than you have on your cheeks and chin area, so what reaches that layer could on the forehead hit the bone.

I wouldn't use it near the eyeballs, nor would I risk it with any other at-home device that isn't specifically marketed for this purpose.

I love that u answer all questions@@DoctorAnne

@@lilianee7778 I do my best.

It changes. Right now one from unmixed, but I don't like it as much. A favorite one I had in the past was from prorelax

Anything that works as conductive gel.

I've been using other gels with this- as long as it's conductive-like ultrasound gel that you can find inexpensively on Amazon, or any gel used for a Microcurrent or Radiofrequency device. I've been using The Ordinary's Copper Peptides serum which I apply to my whole face (copper is conductive) then I apply aloe gel to the device and rub it on my face. Then I spritz my face with tap water. My tap water is hard, and most tap water in the US (85%) is hard, meaning it contains a high concentration of dissolved ions from minerals- which makes it conductive. I continue to spritz my face if it becomes dry. You could also add a pinch of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) or salt (I use Himalayan pink salt because it contains more minerals than regular iodized salt) to your water bottle to make the water conductive. I have not tried adding magnesium sulfate or salt to the aloe gel directly because I'm unsure if that will alter the consistency of the gel.

Every skin is different and the way we perceive things in terms of heat varies. It never burned my skin, but in the first few weeks, I found the highest level uncomfortable hot. I don't anymore though, my skin got used to it. So no need to worry, you are probably better used to heat than I am.

@@DoctorAnne Maybe. Well anyway this morning after using this for the second time looks pretty tight this morning. Especially more around the jawline. This thing is awesome!

If you want to be 100% sure, buy the one the brand offers alongside the device. I have used cheap ones from Amazon in the past, some worked very well, others not so much. Right now I am using the ones that come with the ZIIP device.

Do you use enough conductive gel? That is my secret, lots and lots of gel.

It can be used by all genders.

Yes.

Thanks a lot. How about Aloe Vera gel?

Thank you for the reply. I am using NuFace device and now I am adding Medicube Deep Shot. Do I need two different gels or can I use ultrasound for both or Aloe Vera gel for both.

@@user-iz2jn4bo9f You can use the same gel for both- that is what I do.

@@user-iz2jn4bo9f I haven't tried that myself, but it should work.

Just look for conductive gel on Amazon to see what is best available where you live.

@@DoctorAnne thank you!

@@asymbiotic1113 You are welcome

In theory it can tighten different body parts, but as this has pretty small surface, I don't think it would work too well on larger areas.

@@DoctorAnne thank u fr ur response. Also, m concerned this ultrasound energy might pentrate deeper into organs inside stomach.

@@MrVelonleon I wouldn't worry about that. The organs in your body are deeper than the tissue that gets targeted in the face.

Hi doc. Can u plz suggest for neck saggy loose skin of a 30 year old gal due to weight loss. Is lazer resurfacing better or RF microneedling?

@@MrVelonleon It is best to see a provider that offers these procedures so they can assess your skin in person and give you the ideal treatment options.

I buy whatever I can find cheap online - my current one is from infimedix, but I am not sure if you can get it outside Germany.

Yes, you can do your normal routine afterwards, but for some people it is a little intense, so see how you personally react.

@@DoctorAnne thanks doc, is it ok if i use the face massager everyday? My jowline is a bit itchy is it normal?after hifu procedure kind regards thanks

@@amayaseneca4741 I wouldn't use it daily, the skin needs time to repair, especially if your skin gets itchy.

@@DoctorAnne thank you so much😊

@@amayaseneca4741 You are welcome.

I wouldn't recommend using devices in any other way than the company intended them to be used.

Thank you

That would be awesome! But I am afraid so far only the knife will help there...

@@DoctorAnne I heard they come back after two years of going under the knife. I think if that is the case they should lower the price.

@@theathea3064 Well, aging doesn't stop, so it would be expected that they come back eventually.

@@DoctorAnne yes but so much money for such a short time for it to last, no wonder people go to different countries that don't charge as much as in the US.

@@theathea3064 I get that, and the pricing in the US (compared to here in Germany) is quite high in some places. Still surgery on my face isn't the place where I would try to save money.

I am saving up for eye surgery as well, I want to get it done before I need reading glasses due to my age... I don't really watch Tati, the video is just plastered on the website, so I noticed it and thought the title was catchy.

@@DoctorAnne I absolutely hate glasses. I have been using contact lenses since I was a teenager. They aren’t very fun either. I have slightly high IOP and started taking escitalopram which caused some eye pain for the first week, so that probably isn’t helping. But an ophthalmologist said that i was a candidate. Cannot test IOP with the air device because my corneas are thick. I have been more into fragrance videos at the moment. A bit weird because I only like the smell of two perfumes on me: Jimmy choo urban hero and Creed Aventus for her. The first one is generally disliked and the second polarising, so the videos can be offensive

@@moose8762 Fragrance is a topic I know nothing about, I have one go to perfume and rarely stray from that.

@@MrsPaulaTorres I don’t know what caused your specific health problems; perhaps you were fed a nutritionally deficient diet but there is more than sufficient evidence that vegan diets can be healthy. More than that, that people who reduced meat consumption and swap those calories with plants have better health outcomes. It is always smart to take a B12 and maybe D3 supplement for reassurance but vegans aren’t worse off than everyone else in general. I think a carnivore diet is pretty dangerous. The low consumption/absence of fibre in the diet is incredibly bad for the gut and red meat is potentially inflammatory for the intestines. You increase your risk of GI cancer when you reduce fibre intake. You are also getting no phytonutrients and antioxidant phytochemicals. Your consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol will be high and you could be eating a lot of trans fats compared to people who eat more plants. We have anthropological evidence that people who live in parts of the world where they don’t have access to plants and have to eat mostly meat based diets have high levels of cardiovascular disease. I know a lot of grifters on the internet are trying to sell the carnivore diet for profit but it is likely going to harm a lot of people. And a lot of these people are vulnerable and suffering from chronic diseases and desperate for any promise of a solution. I don’t think you would ever get ethical approval to run an RCT that involved telling a group to only eat red meat products for months or years because the body of evidence very strongly suggests that excessive consumption of meat is not healthy.

@@DoctorAnne First time viewer & I really, REALLY enjoyed your video! It was very informative & clear - no hype ... you make education interesting! I've just subbed & I wish you every success with your channel. Out of curiosity (as I am a perfume lover!), what is your go-to fragrance?!
