I really appreciate this video! Nothing makes me angrier than purchasing an expensive at home divide and have to keep on purchasing THEIR conducting gel forever and ever! I stopped using the News because of that. So thank you very much!
I just bought your mini microcurrrant device and I'm so excited .such great reviews and I almost wasted money on the nuface . Now I'm here for the right conductive gel
I love the Mini. It’s so easy to use!
I love your eye make up. It's lovely.
Never thought about adding minerals. Thanks 👍
thanks for this sweetie i own a tripollar device i love it it is working on my wrinkles i have run out of tripollar gel ive been looking all morning on the net chasing something similiar to the gel an found u thank u God thanks for experimenting too to tell us im very surprised of what you have said on this clip wow thanks for filling us ladies in God bless u
Love your videos Christine!! They are always so informative and helpful. I also love your products! High quality ingredients giving great results🥰
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Kylen Junior Instablaster =)
@Zaiden Deandre Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zaiden Deandre it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Kylen Junior you are welcome :)
Would you recommend using aloe vera gel mixed with trace mineral liquid drops? If yes, in what ratio? I use ConcenTrace®Trace Mineral Drops? The ultimate DIY natural would to buy simple Hyaluronic and Peptide powder to make it myself than buy the expensive solutions out there
You are so awesome! Thank you so much for all the info!
Yay! Thank you for this video!
I got Red Conductive Ultrasound Gel, because I heard it was another good option, but from a professional standpoint, what do you think??
Can I use glycerin for Nuface Microcurrent device? If yes, do I need to add salt to it?
I’m going to try Aloe Vera and mineral drops, hope it works! Thank you.
Great video! Do microcurrent and radiofrequency devices require different gels please? Thank you
@@iamrachelhannah not over the counter devices, no.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician thank you! I’d asked the website Current Body and they said this which I found confusing: radio frequency gels are designed to conduct a different technology and heat. Microcurrent gels require electrolytes. Other alternatives like Aloe Vera and KY Jelly do not work either
Excellent video!!!!
What about Aloe Vera Gel?
Yeah I always heard that you shouldn’t use oil with your facial device actually mine came with a conductive gel that has hyaluronic acid in it and I could probably use a magnesium vitamin pill and add that to it I also have aloe gel with collagen and hyaluronic acid so that’s what I’ve been using on my face with my device
Thanks for the video - what is confusing - if we can use it with any water based serum, why manufacturers prompt us to use gel? I personally do not like hialuronic acid, and it's in most of the gels. Would Buffet peptide serum by The Ordinary provide conductivity? :)
Christine a great video ox💞
Thank you. 🧚🏻♀️❤️
Yes. Because the Nuface gel is so pricey 😬. And I am thinking of branching out to a new micro current.
This is cleaner and more nourishing christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
@@ChristineByerEsthetician thank you loads. ! 🙂
Hey , thank you for this very informative video . I have a question I have a nu skin galvanic spa .. can I use any of the gels you mention . Aloe gel ? Or other cheaper alternatives ?
Thank you
Christine love your channel you're a fountain of knowledge. I'm using the NuFace mini and just starting out with microcurrent devices but I can't feel any currant sensation from the device even on a dry face .Is it working properly.
You’d don’t feel microcurrent
Hi Christine! What’s the best brand to use? Thanks so much! 💞
This is what I use on my clients. It’s a best seller. christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/masks-1/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
@@ChristineByerEsthetician Page is not found. Can you check it for me?
The Ziip ones break me out and they are so expensive. I am looking for alternatives
This is our bestseller and lasts a long time. I use this in my clients. christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
Thank you for your video
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤❤❤
UR Marvelous. Grateful 4 u and I always thought that. PTL
Thank you. Great info. One thing tho, at the end, you mentioned adding serum before the gel to allow it to soak in etc etc… i was aware of all that, but i thought vitamin c was also one you wanted to avoid along with like retinal and the other you mentioned (can’t remember name) … hyaluronic acid is a good one though for a pre serum…. right? I’ve read this, but ya never know. Thanks for your time and share of info. We really appreciate it! 🤗
This conductive gel has hyaluronic acid in it so you are covered.
thanks for the super quick reply! I sent my mom the link to your yt. I think she’s really going to like your videos too.
Thank you 💕 just start using salt water with gloves...I hope it is safe for the gloves. Can you confirm please? How about zinc? By the way Himalayan salt is high quality rock salt not sea salt...no ocean at our Himalaya area🙏🏽
Confused that thanks for clarifying. Make sure to wash gloves thoroughly after using the salt.
Did try zinc alone ..does not work
Dear please reply me on when can I start to using again in my routine RetinA cream (post Fibroblast treatment) ?
Thank you so much 💓
Hi, can we use ultrasound gel for Radio frequency devices?
Yes you can use the one I have. I use it with all devices.
How do you feel about the conductive gels they use in hospitals for you’re face?
What alternatives can be used with the Time Master Pro? I'm in Australia so it's hard for me to replace the Sculplla gel easily. Also, is salt not drying for the skin? I use colloidal silver gel for my microcurrent gel, but have not tried it with the TMP as I still have the gel so far.
Omg I have this trace mineral for my distilled water and was wondering if I could add this in thanks
You could put a drop or two in your conductive gel sure
Thank you
does the aqua sonic gel have the needed minerals?
Thank you beautiful !
So you could use 100% aloe gel with sea salt mixed in?
Yes. But only a half pinch
Gels apparently don't work with Radiofrequency device I have. I purchased a simple vegetable glycerin and it feels like it conducts very well, but maybe you know other alternatives to a sticky VG?
Yes VG is ugh so sticky. What do they suggest using then? I use this with my pro RF device (which gets wicked hot) and it works great christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
Use Aloe Vera Gel , I get the basic clear gel sold in bottles for sunburns .
Hi dear, can I use Organic vegetable glycerin made from coconut instead the alo verá gel? I have tried multiple gels but I get breakouts from them. I am trying to make my own with “safe” ingredients that won’t cause reactions to my sensitive acne prone skin. Thanks
What gels could I buy from the stores?
Hey thanks for the explanation. These are the components of my gel for an RF device. Can you please tell me what is the difference between this gel and ultrasound gel (which costs much less) Is there a special ingredient here? Thank you !! Water /Aqua, Methylpropanediol, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenylpropanol, Glycerin, Acrylates Copolymer, VP/Polycarbamyl Polycglycol Ester, Hydrolyzed Sesame Protein PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol, Triethanolamine, Fragrance/Parfum.
I’d like to know the answer too because I’m ordering some ultrasound gel for my at home pure system
Don’t use the link I just provided, but search thru google. ( for some reason the link doesn’t work )
U might as well use aloe gel and save $$. Cheap ol glycerin and water ur paying for there
Can you do both again using paper cup... I wonder if using the metal bowl caused the sound. The oil was in a plastic cup. Variable.
Yes. You could try it. The results are the same. My mistake
Love this information. I was wondering if you have clients that have complained of pain in the teeth from using microcurrent devices? I purchased the NuFace andl wound up returning it because it made my teeth hurt due to fillings and metal in crowns. Any advice? I am thinking about repurchasing again.
That device has older technology that’s pretty zappy. That could be the cause of it.
I just bought a NuFace mini 2022 and I feel it zap my teeth a little bit when I get close to my mouth area, for I have the metal in my mouth too. It's not painful, tho.
The EMS on the evenskyn lumo really zaps my teeth I hate
Hi! I can't find the Hydra-Lift Conducting Gel in Sweden. Do you know of any other good conductive gel that I can get in Europe?
Can I use a serum and conductive gel? If so, what order would I apply them before the RF device?
I thought you needed some sort of mineral? I have an empty spray bottle that I put distilled water in and I put some droplets of epsom salts which is magnesium then I apply aloe to my face then spray my face with the water and then use Nuface. What do you think about that?
Well, since microcurrent penetrates product nicely you’re missing an opportunity to really nourish your skin with something nice.
Can I use glycerine?
How often can you use a machine with cavitation, vacuum and RF
A metal bowl is going to be conductive... A plastic cup is not conductive... But yes oil is not conductive..
Thanks Terri. You are right. Didn’t think about that but true oil blocks current.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician sorry I am an electrician so I couldn't help myself... But transformers have an oil based outer coating that acts as an insulator meaning oil is non conductive... Thank you your videos are so helpful... I live 6 hours away from the nearest esthetician...
Have you ever used Aliven Gele? I really like that one.
Yes! My friend Sherri invented it! I feature it here on my channel a few years back.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician That's right! Now that I think of it, it's because of you Christine that I even knew about it. :-)
Where can I buy it ? I want to use on my face for radio frequency treatment
Hi! Here christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
Please can you tell me when I use my microsculpt machine on low or high settings my face twitches and spasams and it stings on all settings! I use aloe Vera gel ? Am I useing too much gel ? I really want to use this machine but it now scares me to put it on my face. Should it be doing this ? As it’s ment to be painless and relaxing 😌
Turn it down. Muscles shouldn’t twitch. Use tons of gel.
Yes I did all of that still did it 😞 I’m sending it back as don’t think they agree with me. Thanks for your reply x
Any alternative eye serum to use with the NUFACE fix please??? Worried Because its the eye area
Thank you for your helpful videos.
Can I use homemade hyaluronic acid gel with pinch of sea salt?
Yes but I’d use even less than a pinch.
Whooohooo! Im trying to buy venus concept glide but I was wondering is there something I can do to make my own to use on myself not so much my client. do you know any on venus concepts and how to do you own glide for Venus legacy. Glycerin is the 1st ingredient followed by proplene glycol, carbomer and trethanolamine. I know Glycerin is the main agent but how much is put of all the other ingredints? Thank you for you videos
can i use aloe Vera and how often do i do it a day or week and do i clean face first and do i leave aloe Vera on face afterwards do i rinse it of thanks
You can if not allergic. I would do on clean face 3-5 times per week.
Can minerals that containg silver make your face blue?
I made my own conductive gel with seaweed gel, aloe and a pinch of salt. But now my RF gets too hot. Any thoughts as to why?
Probably too much salt
@@ChristineByerEsthetician Thanks. I'll leave that out and see if I get better results with the second batch.
Can I use neutrogena hydro boost water gel as a cundoctor?
Hi dear Christine, I happened to see your video today about conductive gel. I just bought the Amiro RF Device and saw their gel is far too expensive to keep buying. I need a conductive gel, and am thinking of buying face oil or serum to use as conductive element for my device. Is it ok to use face oil as a medium? Or it needs to be a minerals conductive gel? Thank you if you can assist me on this. I'm totally new to RF device thing.
Oil does not conduct. It’s an insulator and dampens current. I suggest this one with RF christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/conducting-gel-mask
Can you use the machines without and gel
Hi Christine - I had a 7D Hifu treatment a year ago and the results were great. I tried doing it yesterday and it was PAINFUL. I couldn't even handle it on the lowest setting so I didn't do the treatment. I used Aquasonic clear Ultrasound Gel and tried R Facial cooling gel as well. Do you know why it was painful? I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
Not sure. Are you under more stress than usual? HIFU is notorious for pain.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician it is always advertised as painless. I don’t see how anyone could stand it!
Hi!
I noticed that after not doing treatments for a while you aren’t as used to it… did you start at the setting you worked up to from your treatments prior (assuming more than just the one you mentioned?) … were you recently sunburned…
had you used certain serums within two days prior to your recent attempted treatment? It also could be you need a replacement for your machine head… i believe those hifus only give so many shots before they are no good… these machines are great, but they can also be hurtful. And we are not trying to do more damage, right ladies. lol 😂 I hope you got it all figured out and this reply is redundant. God bless y’all! ❤
How do you feel about gel pads? (Like from Hill Labs)
They could work but make sure you are well hydrated.
Can u use aloe after sun gel on the face for cavitation machine
So is it important to wash all the oils off your face before you use microcurrent?
Yep. Helps with conductivity.
Thank you! Can you use the same conductive gel for microcurrent and radio frequency at home devices?
Yes you can❤️
@@ChristineByerEsthetician thank you. It didn’t make sense (other than for the companies to make $) that the conductive gels needed to be specific to the device. After I use my Nuface gel, I’m buying your gel to use with Nuface and Tripollar. 😀
can you use aloe gel and just add minerals to make a conductive gel
Aloe has minerals so yes. Make sure not artificial colors or fragrances
I love you mam thank you so much
so almost two years ago I went to an esthetician at a doctor's office and she did radiofrequency and cavitation along my midsection. I nudist that she was using oil. So I asked her if she shouldn't be using ultrasound gel as I had had this done before but at a different place. She said she liked the oil better because it was less messy. But I never felt like I had seen a difference. Do you think the oil had anything to do with it?
Everything to do with it.
No oil, needs a water base.
Hi! Can aloe Vera + trace mineral drops work for the nuskin galvanic spa? 😅
You’d have to check with them and depends on wether pushing into the skin or sucking out of skin.
So I saw a video where a girl added hyaluronic acid and a pinch of sea salt in her ultrasound gel and I tried it and it seemed to work. I used it for both cavitation and rf. Is that ok to do? I feel like it is but just dbl checking
As long as it doesn’t dry you out.
I’m a physical therapist. When I got my Nuface I just bought Aquasonic gel that we use in PT for electrical stim and Ultrasound, to use as a conducive medium. It’s cheap and I’ve never had an issue with it on my face. What are your thoughts on this?
I'm an RN, I use the same because I always saw it used, and I have no issues with my skin either. I have a bottle of the trace minerals which I'll add to water to rehydrate the gel as someone mentioned. Probably not necessary but what the heck. Ha
@@ThyGirlnextdoor thank you for being a nurse. I appreciate what you do
Watch the last minute bonus feature of the video. You can use it. It’s not doing any harm but not doing any favors either. When I work in the skin I’m using every opportunity to really nourish it. Since Microcurrent and other modalities really push products into the skin, I like to make sure it’s a clean product that the skin loves. Just my opinion.
@@InfinityHealthPilates thank you, but as you know 'it takes a village' and I appreciate you too!
@@ChristineByerEsthetician thanks Christine, appreciate your opinion.
It is hipoallergenic?
It’s not labeled as such but no artificial colors or fragrances.
Buying a cavitation machine and need a good gel that really works. What do you recommend?
Hi! Love this christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
If a serum that you put under your conductive gel has an oil or vitamin e/Tocopherol in it, is that ok? Will it hinder the microcurrent treatment?
Can you mix water with the trace minerals? Thanks
Can I use ultrasound gel?
Hello! I used the "trace minerals drops", in a contact gel, carbomer based. One drop of minerals transformed 2 little spoons of gel in a watery solution. This is how i found that carbomer has a small resistence to ions. I still used that watery thing on my skin with the Nuface and worked well.
Was it wrong to use it that way?...
Just harder on the skin. You’d be better off just using a bit of sea salt in a water a gel moisturizer made with some nourishment for the skin.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician Christine, thank you so much for your fast response and kind advice! I will do as you said.
I wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a great New Year with maximum health! ♥️🎊🙏🏻
I got ultrasound gel is that ok
I think foreo serum serum serum is a bit oily. I use aloe gel instead. It's ok right
If you aren’t allergic it’s fine.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician thank you
Can the triple c gold be used as a conductive gel?
You could put a thin layer on, let absorb a bit then apply a conductive gel on top if you wanted to. However the Triple C by itself would not be a good conductive gel.
What would be good conductive gel to use with the Newa?
I use this in my treatment room when I do pro RF treatments. christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
I think any ultrasaund gel will be good and cheaper,
how about aloe vera gel and trace minerals
Sure.
I have a question can i use aquasonic 100 on the face for mlay radio frequency skin tightening?
I don’t recommend since it has blue dye and zero nourishment for the skin.
Question. I bought the body Galvanic from nu skin. Can I use any conducting gel for ultrasound?
Make sure it’s something nourishing to push into the skin, not some garbage hospital ultrasound gel. Here’s what is use on my clients christinebyeresthetics.com/collections/cbe-botanicals/products/hydra-lift-conducting-gel-mask
Another thing. I took Aloe vera soothing gel and added some salt. The whole solution turns to water 😂
Are there any tutorial how to do it correctly?
Yes. That’s why you need only a few grains of salt.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician I see. I think I put in a tsp 😂
Btw is a few grain enough to make it conductive?
Hi there! What is the ideal microamperes for professional micro current? I've read not to go above 500 but I can't find a definitive answer about what to set it to for face/neck. Thank you!!
1 yr later, I'll answer fr my own experience. I own a professional micro current device that goes up to 600 microAmp. It's safe to go above 500 but one must work up towards the higher number. Like working out doing weights u build up slowly.
Can microcurrent devices, like the Nuface, help breakdown/lessen fat in the face? Like fat below cheek bones that doesn’t allow natural contour to show ?
How about Microcurrent with the gel does it help rehydrate & lessen the appearance of nasal folds, smile lines?
Microcurrent cannot breakdown fat. The NF gel is kinda meh but works.
Can you use aloe Vera gel without dye?
Yes if it agrees with your skin.
How about aloe vera
I was thinking about DIY gels and thought of vegetable glycerin with a little salt for a conductive gel. What do you think? Would that work?
Would be very sticky and unpleasant to use since glycerine is sticky sticky sticky.
@@ChristineByerEsthetician yes, i tried a DIY vit C with glycerin and it was way too sticky. Thanks
Hi I was just wondering, is it suppose to make that loud noise the entire time you’re working on your clients? If yes, do you give your clients earbuds to help w/ the screeching noise? Thank you.
Are you kidding 😳 me??
Hi, thanks for the video. So can I use the ordinary natural moisturising factors +HA?
As long as it has minerals
@@ChristineByerEsthetician thanks for getting back to me :)
How about a spot of petroleum jelly with a dash of himalayan pink salt?
Ouch! Oil doesn’t conduct.
Thoughts....I just watched a video about nuface. They are saying it doesn’t work and that the only thing that is making you look different is their gel as it has hydraulonic acid in it. I have been using Nuface for three weeks and see results!!! Any thoughts that it’s just the gel??
Yeah. Jens luvs Beauty has a different skin type than many of us. I saw her video too. Microcurrent works. It’s too bad some don’t have the patience for it. Stay the course. If you’re getting results stay the course I always say!
Does snail mucin work as a conductor?
I would probably use something clear gel based.
Hi how about aloe Vera gel?
