My favorite device is a tweezer. ❤
🤣
I gotta tell you: I appreciate that you always make me laugh. Please keep it up!
Your jawline is a dream for so many. People are mewing and do jawmuscles exercises to get a prominent jaw like yours.
It kind of reminds me of how it seems that different body types can be “on trend”. I wish we lived in a world where everyone is happy with their own features/body!
Beauty is completely subjective and cultural. Traveling really brought that home for me as in some countries I dont get any attention regarding my appearance yet in other countries for some reason I get hit on a lot. Like higher than what anyone would consider normal. It is so strange. I saw this social experiment where a women sent her picture to graphic designers all over the world for retouching and the images she got back where so different given each cultures’ beauty standards. It was very fascinating.
Great video Alice. Can we get an updated video seeing how you use all these devices in a night time skincare routine?
Good idea, thank you!
Omg. I love a strong jaw line. I think yours is awesome. I didn't even know that some people don't I thought it was sought after;)
Thank you ☺️
Loooove thisss!!! Thank you so much! I would love to see a review on the new medicube device as well!!!❤
Excited for ur booster pro review ❤❤❤
I found your channel tonight via RUclips serving me up since I ordered the Medicube Booster Pro today. Just binged several videos. Definitely subscribed! Your content is so thorough, thank you.
Ooh interested in the body shot! Can't wait for your review. Keep keeping it real for us square jaw people who love our faces and just wanna keep it that way!!
Alice! Thanks for the super insightful videos.
Will Userra metabolise HA fillers quicker? My problem area is the lack of volune under the orbital bone, enhancing the appearance of eyebags. I would like to address that with RF hifu.
Simply fantastic video
Thank you very much!
Great picks!! Love them all❤
🥰🥰
I don’t think I ever comment but I must say thank you, I always appreciate your videos, well explained and I will say you influenced me a few weeks ago to purchase my first Medicube device, now contemplating the second 😁 I am not easily “influenced” and I appreciate the fact that you actually explain the science behind skincare in such a relaxed and easy way to watch 🥰 your channel should be WAY more popular!!
So happy to help! Which one did you opt for? ☺️
@AliceintheRabbitHole I got the Ussera 😁 after I get used to it I will risk the possible pain and get the EMS one too 😅 I will be 40 this year and even though I was always afraid of any interventions other than skincare, you convinced me to give these a try 😊 can't wait!
Great video love your hair
Thank you! ☺️
I’m a ZIIP & Mito LED RedLight Panel fan 😊
Your the best☀️🎀
Have the currentbody led mask and age booster and my rosacea, sebderm, sensitive dry skin couldnt be happier!
Just ordered the new Medicube age r booster tool. Hoping i made the right choice for my aging sagging face! Been watching your videos a lot lately for korean skincare have a foreo which is helping too. Wish i could afford all the devices!
So exciting!! Please let me know what you think of it!
I love your face Alice ❤
Hello Alice - I have wanted to buy some sort of "tool", but quite honestly so many out there - all claiming the same thing. Your breakdown and explanations do help a lot - I am leaning towards the LED mask. I think your jawline is beautiful and I absolutely love listening to you - enjoy your day! 🌸💮🌸
Thank you, hope you have a great day too! 🥰
I firmly believe that we should build each other up in a positive manner. So, I love your jawline!!!
We absolutely should, as tbh, unique features are what makes for individual beauty. It would be a less interesting world if everyone looked the same!
Thank you 🥰
I’ve always been very jealous of her jawline!
Thank you for another amazing video :) it would be also cool to see which device you recommend for each specific concern since most of us can’t afford all of them at once 😅 And yea, your jawline is amazing!
Edit: as an engineer myself I really appreciate all the technical explanations 😊
Your skin and face look amazing!! You look like you are 20 years old. I use the NuFace and have been for 3 years now. I do like it and feel it has made a difference. Thanks for your research.
Thank you ☺️
I ordered the Qure LED, and the Medicube Booster & Air Shot for my birthday this year. I've only been using the LED and Booster for about a week and really like them so far, but obviously I don't have much experience yet. (My mask came with eye protection, BTW). Looking forward to receiving the Air Shot, and next I might invest in the Qure LED decolletage.
How did I miss this video? Well, I am here now
Hello ! You are so beautiful !!! What is your preference between the age R EMS and the ZIP HALO ?
Great video! May I ask what lip gloss and colour you have in this video. It’s so lovely.
Thank you! It’s Merit’s L’avenue applied lightly (but heads up: I bought from them before I knew about the CS issues - would currently recommend buying that brand through Sephora)
I love your hairstyle
If only I had your jawline! Thank you for this. The ZiiP is my favorite microcurrent device although sometimes I still use my NuFACE mainly because
I can watch some thing while I’m using it. The ZiiP does have a default program, it’s a four minute lift program that does not require the app. I’m a big fan of my MITO, pro LED panel, since I can’t use a mask. The mask is too close to my face and I get hives.
Ah yes you’re right, it does have a default! I wish the Halo worked the same way the Gx did though in that you could store your most recent treatment (that’s the one change they made with Halo that I don’t love, although the new price/louder buzzes are better!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I would love if the device did that. I don't even use the default lift program, I like either the Founder's Favorite or the All Inclusive. The lip program is pretty nifty, too!
Have you tested the medicube age-r booster pro? Would love a full scientific review of the efficacy
I have a red light therapy panel coming and I’m excited about the potential benefits. I also have the Medicube EMS and ussera deep shot. Love the deep shot. I have a fairly high pain tolerance but I can’t handle the ems. It’s not even so painful, but I hate the muscle twitching feeling. So that’s sitting in a drawer. 😬
I know what you mean!! It’s kind of funny that it doesn’t “hurt” but it’s SO jarring!
If you do want to pull it out of the drawer, my tip is: only use it on your jawline on a low setting (slim, 1 seems to be the most gentle) and load up on gel. Eventually it does stop being so strange, but if you caught in the clip, I still giggle at the twitches to this day 🤭
@@AliceintheRabbitHole thank you for the suggestion! I’ll give it a try. 🥰
I really have to try LED... Will it help with melasma and rosacea?
Your knowledge and willingness to share is greatly appreciated!!! Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Melasma is a little more tricky, in part because its cause seems to be poorly understood. There are some studies looking at LED treatment, and so far, it seems that red light is likely to be a good option, but you might want to avoid blue light completely. It’s extra important to not overdo the red light therapy though (“more isn’t more” strikes again lol)
For rosacea, it does seem more promising with a bit more research (due to the wound healing/anti-inflammatory attributes which directly benefit those with rosacea!)
Ultimately, as I am not a dermatologist nor do I have those conditions, I always like to suggest talking to your doc/derm about it first!
I love devices!! One upside to them being more expensive is that I really do the most when looking into them before I finally purchase Which actually really helps me commit to using them!!
Rn my number one most important is also red light. I use a mask for 10 minutes every other day and occasionally a panel (I actually tried to do it more frequently than that, and it made my skin feel dry. Hence, following directions really is ideal lol.)
My number 2 is the Nira laser Which I finally purchased last black Friday. Any time something has heat involved I become nervous about #1 melasma and 2 fat loss. I think for me the pro version was just less intimidating because it doesn’t get as hot.
I’m almost through my first 90 days and I do see myself sticking with it.
After that, I think my microstamping is my next most important, but I only do that very occasionally. That was something I was hoping to replace someday with an electroporation device!
I do really want to get back into microcurrent. I think because I have a round face I’m never gonna see sculpting, I just need to believe that it’s helping ATP. it’s hard to stay motivated Lol but I’ve spent the money so I might as well use them. 😅
Any time I add more than two devices though I do start to slack so It really helps having some real world experience in what I will and won’t keep up with!
Mmhmm yep it’s so important to figure out not only what fits our needs, but also what we will realistically use! I am with you though on being pretty good about using what I have, although I’ve definitely replaced quite a few with better fits, ie the foreos and the first gen Nuface.
With microcurrent, i like the ZIIP/founders favorite because it’s Freeform - so while it’s 10 minutes, I can spend that 10 minutes watching RUclips haha! IIRC, most of the microcurrent devices have some kind of Freeform option too. I don’t think i would stick with it if I had to stare at an app for 10 whole minutes 🤣
I just found your channel this evening. I recently purchased the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro. I learned tonight that I cannot use it with my (Paula's Choice) Retinol. Which is a bummer because I use it every night. Can I use the Medicube Pro in an organized schedule with my LED mask and my Nu-Face? Or, is that just doubling efforts? I feel like I may have purchased the Pro and didn't really need it??? Your advice would be appreciated.
I'd pay good money to have your jawline. 😊 So weird that there are places in the world where it would not be the ideal. Thanks for the video. 🙂
I am in love with your hairband. is that braid part of it or your hair braided? Could you send link for the hair accessory?
I have been using omnilux LED ligjt for a few years and am very happy with it. Got the ZIIP and the EMS the past black friday sales and am thrilled. It has helped a lot especially filling up the hollows under the eyes. Budget would not allow for more 😅
I am torn between getting the ussera or the nebulyft. Booster H will have to wait in line
Oh interesting, can I ask why you’re considering the nebulyft over the tripollar? I admit I haven’t looked much outside of the ussera as I’m overall happy with it, but I know there are other well-loved RF Home devices out there!
@AliceintheRabbitHole Most of my information is based on online surfing and RUclips videos and not completely reliable ! Cost and frequency of use are deciding factors. I am 60, with no fine wrinkles(apart from undereyes). My deep lines are my 11s and nasolabial folds. I am not quite sure if the ussera would be the right choice at my age. It IS and it IS NOT a radio frequency device !!
What about the NEWA? Thank you!
@@ana-pi6ut I viewed a lot of youtube videos last year. The impression I got was that the NEWA while being small and less expensive had some issues with stopping during treatment, poor gel and other issues.
That said, if and when I decide on another device I will start reviewing all over again
I'm about 30 years older than you but we've both settled on pretty much the same devices. I use a red light panel though, even though I have a face mask and a neck mask from Omnilux. I just like it better, and got back into daily red light by not having to recharge the little power blocks. I prefer to just plug in, sit there while my computer boots up, then keep it moving.
I don't use the EMS device but other than that we're using the same facial devices. I definitely find that the Ussera Deep Shot tightens my face quite noticeably the following day.
I'm thinking about getting the new Booster-H (the pro version) so I won't have to keep using both the Booster and the ziip, having just once device. Would also perhaps get me to start doing the airshot routine again, because that's one device I have that gets absolutely no usage.
We really do think alike then - the airshot is my most neglected (in fairness, I think it’s for oily skin/pores - the opposite of my concerns lol). Will definitely update on the booster pro!
I love the medicube age r booster shot. I really thought it would be a gimmick but it’s amazing! I just ordered the pro version. I should not be allowed to be online after a long work day 😂.
Same feelings! Especially because medicube gave us soooo little info in the beginning, goodness. It sounded like a gimmick lol
Thankfully they’ve finally decided to embrace the word “electroporation” (affirming after guessing at it with the OG booster lol)
I just got my pro! I really like the booster mode & the app is helpful. Even on level 5 all the modes feel fine. I really like that I can just use my own skin care & not have to worry about a separate gel. But, I do wonder about all the different LED colors & if the microcurrent mode replaces the ziip halo - founders favorite nano or is it more like the lift program??? I also have a Ussera Deep shot so, I'm hoping to learn more about how to use al the modes together in the review 😊
@@Fran-hi6pg Mine arrives tomorrow!! I can’t wait.
Nice!!! Let me know what you think 😊@@jbridges9574
@@Fran-hi6pg I’ve got mine and have been using it for a week. I do think it replaces other microcurrent devices. I will still use my LED mask after procedures, but for an everyday use I like that the pro has it.
I haven’t used the air shot yet. I mainly do the booster and micro current and am totally happy with it. I don’t know if the other LED frequencies really do anything but it doesn’t matter to me.
Thanks Alice! Did you say Medicube is coming out with an all in one device?
Yep! I’ll be updating on it in time 😁
Have you tried the Rohto Mentholatum vitamin c?
Have you heard of Panasonic Vitalift RF? I just bought it on a trip to Japan. Any thoughts?
It's all in one - LED, RF, EMS, ION (micro-current). Comes from a huge and reputable company and it won awards, so I have high hopes with it :)
PS, you have a beautiful facial structure! I'm gay, not being creepy...
I've always thought you have a beautiful facial structure. So funny how it can be seen otherwise
I wonder how the ZIIP lip routine compares to say a LED device for lips like the Dr. Dennis Gross one? I'm also curious how electroporation compares to say a microinfusion device like the Droplette. Off topic, have you tried the bubble eye cream or bondiboost hair mask?
That’s a very good question! I might get around to comparing all of those in time. Bondiboost=yes. It’s all right. Now that I’ve tried the Shiseido fino mask, it will be hard for me to recommend any other smoothing/restoring mask (the only - and I do mean only - con with the Shiseido is that it’s a bit heavy on fine hair like my own). Still thinking about picking up the bubble!
Hi Alice. My theory is that on certain days of using the device, I will limit myself to only one LED routine and using the micro current on another day... 😊 EMS therapy reminds me of the gua sha technique which I enjoy.. 😅
Facial structure is something we are born with, I will just ignore the silly comments which includes aging in facial muscles...
Yeah exactly, I think there’s a way of rotating the devices (which could involve using them less too, ie my use of EMS!) I’m hoping that we eventually see research into possibly synergy of devices!
I am 78 with jowls and marionette lines
Which device is best for these.
Does an led mask last forever or the lights are losing their intensity in time?
What do you think of the Nira? I bought it about a year ago and thought it was very painful. I stopped using it but I really need to get back to it.
Sadly I haven’t tried it, though I’ve heard good things!
Thank you so much ❤
Witch one is better, do you think ?:
- Medicube Ussera Deep shot
- Amiro S1
- Amiro R3 Turbo
- amiro R1 Pro
I do think I Will buy Medicube Age-R Booster Pro No matter what.
So I hope I Will do with 2 devices “only”.
I wish to tighten jawline and checks and crowsfeet and the 11’s. I am 43.❤
I’m so sorry but I haven’t tried the Amiro ones! Your idea of RF + the booster pro sounds wise to me. Heads up that apparently medicube is coming out with a new RF device soon 👀
@@AliceintheRabbitHole
Thank you so much for your answer. It must be a little time-consuming to be a youtuber with all of us writing to you.
Okay with the, maybe new coming device from Medicube.
I do not Think I can wait much longer to bye a device and jump on the At-Home-treatment device team. 😂🫣❤️
Unfortunately they have discontinued the medicube ems device 😢
I just bought the Qure LED mask, and atm im really satisfied with it.
The packaging is beautiful, the mask looks good, however it does not fit my face properly, but I am a male, so it was not designed to my face. I bought it for 230€ so yeah, 10/10 for now. I cant talk about the results for now, but i am very optimistic.
Thank you for sharing! Did it happen to come with goggles? (I saw a recent review that it did and was perplexed as mine did not lol)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yes it did! Although it does not block the lights out, because the mask does not fit my face properly.
I think they added the googles recently thats why yours came without it.
thank you!
Maybe a good idea would be a comparison of the measurements of different LED masks? The Qure mask is my best fit, but I’d say I have a small, although not the smallest, face. That’s something that does vary from person to person!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yes probably the omnilux men would have been a better choice, but i got the Qure mask for 230€ while the omnilux is around 400€. Im not complaining at all, since I only need a 3 min treatment so it is bearable
You have a great jawline, whether for a woman or a man. And I'm not being contentious about it or shading those who criticised you. Were these people just having a bad day and nothing seem right to them?
lol, I admit I do wonder that in reading some mean comments. I’m unsure whether to snap back or offer a hug 🤣
Thank you!
I've seen a few threads talking about broken capillaries with microcurrent, but nothing of the sort for EMS. Strange as you'd think that the stronger current would potentially more irritating? This is what's scaring me away from microcurrent as well!
Ah you know what, you bring up something very important here (that I tend to forget because I’m overall pretty gentle on my skin)
I’d ask how hard those folks are pushing the device into their skin. These devices are meant to glide gently across the skin, but considering I’ve seen some people scrub their faces HARD, I do think it’s worth mentioning: there’s no need to do this with devices (or skincare!)
That is a valid point, I think I'm just super cautious tbh. I've just ordered the EMS Age-R with your referral link from your earlier video, will eagerly await your review on the new 6-in-1 Age-R Booster Pro before I make that plunge! @@AliceintheRabbitHole
I don't know if this is total placebo effect but I didn't see a lot of difference from my omnilux mask when I first started using it, and then I saw a video interview with The Honest Channel suggesting reducing the time under the mask to 6 minutes and suddenly I started seeing results 😳🤷♂ I suppose there is some kind of antioxidant inverse reaction after a certain amount of time? You probably know better than me. Either way I'm a happy camper now, I don't think I need to buy any more devices!
Yep, tbh we don’t really have evidence that it has a prooxidant effect (although that’s absolutely the theory in using something like green tea prior to treatment). That said, it would make sense for LED to have a dose-response curve beyond which there isn’t more benefit
I’m always afraid of these devices and the risk to skin cancer. I have not researched this in journals. Do we know anything about these for people that have had skin cancer? Do we know how the LED eye mask impacts the eyes?
This is a good point that you bring up and a limitation in the way studies are conducted. For example, take the studies looking at skin aging: the exclusion would indeed include skin cancer (or other conditions) to focus in on only aging. Meaning we don’t want confounding variables. The problem is, when we exclude people from this research, it leaves a gap in terms of how it affects those same people.
Bottom line: I think it would be wise to ask your doctor first in this case.
As for the eyes, it’s a bit of a mixed bag at the moment. There is research into using red LED to benefit the eyes (!) but it’s not really in the context of LED masks. There is also concern over blue light negatively impacting the eyes. I would personally recommend using goggles with blue light, with the option to use it for red. Hope that helps!
I don't think using an EMS device in moderation would deplete cellular ATP any more than using facial muscles to emote. Really, I'm using up the same amount of ATP when I laugh really long and I laugh way more often than I use facial devices.
Yup, you got it.
I’ve noticed studies are sometimes taken out of context. It’s pretty important to take into consideration exactly what the study did and HOW it did it!
Hi. Happy Friday ❌️ ⭕️
Happy Friday!! 😁
For EMS what i heard was that ATP is temporarily reduced just like excersice temporarily reduces amount of ATP (to me that would mame sense if ATP is like excersice for the face).
What are your thoughts on this?
Disclaimer: just what i heard, i dunno.
Yep, that’s it! We use ATP in moving our muscles, so it indeed makes sense!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole guess it then depends on when the study meadured ATP if it is after the ATP should have recovered it sound iffy but if it was measured before ATP would normally have had time to recover i would pretty much chuck it up to EMS works like excersice in terms of ATP
Precisely. Using ATP isn’t a negative thing, and I do feel the study was misinterpreted in that sense
There's nothing wrong with your jawline Alice!!!... OMG people can't stop being offensive!!!
Anyway, l really enjoyed this video. Sadly, devices are not in my budget....I know you don't really need them but still.... Thanks!!!😊
Mmhmm, devices are optional (much like essences, eye creams, etc). Cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen are the trio of must-haves ☺️
Ziip has a really poor quality materials. I had 2 of them both had issues. Regarding the halo - people started to complain that the probes are falling off. So think twice. They have amazing customer service but warranty is limited - and if you are ok with repurchasing it after 1 or 2 years then that's ok. I would consider buying foreo bear or medicube age r pro honestly
Ive been admiring your jawline this whole video lol. Beauty is subjective and in the US, your jaw is COVETED. People are so needlessly rude.
🐰
I still haven't dipped my toes into any. Maybe at some point. I need to be dedicated. Have a great weekend ❌️ ⭕️
Thank you, hope you have a good weekend too! Maybe we will finally get some warmer weather 👀
You don't need to use the app with the app halo. The older model yes you do, but not the halo. Sorry for correcting you. The video is great otherwise
Your beautiful those people are whack
Hi, Alice! You’ve named my device routine 😊 I use the led mask from another brand and also Nira laser! But other than that it’s the same! One device I think I should use more is Booster H, I’m always forgetting 🥲 I’d like to see how you incorporate it in your routine please, for inspiration 😊 have a great day!
Cleanse - tone - serum - booster-H! The only catch being that I don’t use it alongside actives.
Here’s an example: Rovectin cleanser - Anua Heartleaf toner - The Ordinary multi-peptide - Booster-H ☺️
@@AliceintheRabbitHole ❤️
Does an led mask last forever or the lights will start losing their intensity after a few years?
Ooh great question!
The expected lifetime for LED is around 20,000 hours. That said, lithium batteries, as used in masks, have a shorter lifespan. So what you might notice (and I noticed this with my DDG mask in particular) is that you will need to charge the mask more often at a certain point.
