Microcurrent at Home Review: NufFace vs. Clareblend Mini at Home - Esthetician

Clareblend Mini Vs. The NuFace




"It's like a little workout for your face," actress Jennifer Aniston said in a magazine interview with InStyle last year.

Backed by science and discovered for actual medical treatments. The electrical stimulation technology behind the microcurrent facial has been used in partnership with various treatments for Bells’ palsey sufferers, a sudden paralysis or weakness of facial muscles that causes one side of your face to appear to droop.

Of course, when they discovered that it can help “lift” the face of a Bell’s palsey patient, the beauty industry’s wheels started churning.

Here’s how it works:

Next, the aesthetician would use the microcurrent wands, two of them, to the skin's surface, stimulating the facial muscles underneath.



For a professional cosmetic procedure, an aesthetician would apply a conductive gel to your face. It’s like the gel is used for ultrasound scans, since it allows for the distribution of electric impulses.

The two wands effectively “speak” to each other. They're delivering currents back and forth during the procedure.

It lifts and tightens using those tiny electrical pulses that stimulate the top layer of skin and the underlying muscle. This is how it seems to lift and tone. Albeit, temporary, it’s a go-to treatment for a growing number of anti-aging enthusiasts and celebrities have been hip to this for years.

The good news? The results are cumulative meaning that the more you do it, the more effective and better results you see. If done a few times a week, with a home device, you can actually keep the lift going continuously. But it does take the effort.

The bad news? The professional esthetic procedure ranges from $200 to $600. Ouch! That’s just not feasible for most of our budgets.

Does it hurt? You’d think driving electrical impulses into the skin would be painful, but done properly and with the right conductive gel, microcurrent should not hurt a bit. However, during the treatment, patients might feel a tingle on the skin or have a metallic taste in their mouth (very slight). Most clients find the procedure to be relaxing and soothing.


Results-Oriented Spa Treatment: 
Spray a little lavender mist in the air, put on some spa music and glide the wands over the skin. It’s like a relaxing, but high-results, spa treatment. It can also be quite addictive when the client sees the lift.

To keep it going, clients are often persuaded to use home devices that effectively help keep the results vs. having to go for multiple treatments per month.

One of those devices is the Clareblend Mini. A somewhat newer counterpart to more well-known (and marketed) devices such as the NuFace, the Mini is a tool that is available through licensed professionals only.

Found online through a few savvy Estheticians who are loving the results and effectiveness of the little tool. It’s also a (virtually) painless tool compared to its more famous rival.
Although I’ve had one or two clients tell me they feel a zap now and then, when I use the Mini, I get zero zaps. I thought it didn’t even work when I first used it, but I realized after looking in the mirror, how effective it was. I still get zapped with the NuFace if I don’t enough gel on. It can really hurt if I’m not paying attention.

Feeling zaps usually comes from not using enough, or the proper type of, conductive gel. Also, it can happen on skin that is completely new to microcurrent and a bit sensitive to it. Usually, working with it, your skin gets used to it and the zaps diminish substantially, or altogether with time. Most people don’t feel a think and enjoy the treatment.
I like to cocktail together a really hydrating and firming treatment to use as a conductive gel. Since microcurrent effectively drives products into the skin, you want to use a gel that good for you and not heavily synthetic or chemical-laden.

You have to use a non-oil-based gel that is water-soluble for the current to work. Using any oils or creams is strictly forbidden, as they hinder the conductive process.
I give a nice sample of my gel to purchasers of the system. Even if clients use the gel that comes with the system, they should apply a nice firming gel underneath to really get a double whammy of treatment.

I get great results with that!
