- Welcome back.
One concern I am hearing more and more is that at home microcurrent devices cause facial fat loss. In todays video I am talking to Dr Phoung Nguyen, a Phd in Biomedical engineering, about this, as well as other concerns regarding microcurrent devices.
Here is the device Dr Nyugen created

Definitely a topic that deserves attention. I too have had a lot of viewers comment that they felt microcurrent had negatively affected their facial fat.
Hi Clare, I agree with you. And I am really glad we got an answer (and one I wanted to hear ;))

@@claudiaglows I used a strictly microcurrent device that is US manufactured and FDA approved at only 335 uA I experienced fat loss. Does the expert at least know how much microcurrent uA the face produces cause if I know the answer to that then I can use microcurrent wisely since it definitely can cause damage in my experience.
@@III-mu4ynThis is the FIRST I have heard that microcurrent can cause fat loss. I can't afford to lose facial fat. I have some made in C microcurrent devices and recently I purchased a Ziip. I feel comfortable continuing using the Ziip, but not the knockoffs.
@@III-mu4yn had the same experience with nuface :( and genetically speaking my family is blessed with fat pads so fat loss was not due to aging xD
I finally had a chance to rewatch and really pay attention…great info and the Dr. Explained everything so clearly! time to dust off my micro current…and I can’t wait to visit and play with your devices! 😘💕❤️
Your guest was GREAT! And so were you for bringing her to us!
Thank you Peggy! I am happy you are here ❤️
EXCELLENT! Thank you, Claudia! You are a ROCKSTAR and one of my favorite RUclipsrs! 🤗❤
Thank you for your lovely comment Cynthia, it put a smile on my face ❤️
I am really happy you are part of this little RUclips family

Dr.Nguyen has a lovely diction. I do appreciate her clear and easy to understand explanations. Thank you again for the "naked truth" and empowering us with scientific back knoledge.
Thank you for your kind words! I agree, her way of explaining things, even in a foreign language is quite impressive
xx
I’ve been concerned about this lately. Thank you for this video.
I am glad this was helpful. Thank you for being here

I could understand every word she said, thanks for this information, Claudia!
I am glad to hear that! Thank you for your kind comment Lisa

Yhis was very useful information, I never knew microcurrent was cellular.. Much of the info it is just a temporary solution to give a little lift to the skin. Really happy to know it has effective long term results that stimulates collagen and elastin. So many have dismissed MC perhaps that is why.
Hi Nicole, I am glad this was helpful. I do think the immediate list we get from MC is temporary, but like you said, the effects on collagen and elastin are lasting
Wishing you a great rest if your week

Excited to watch! ❤
I hope you will enjoy it

That's great to hear, because I was wondering about the same thing. Thanks for all the research u do
Hi Linda, I am glad this was helpful

Thank you for this video. I'm so glad that microcurrent is affective on its own because I'm unable to use light therapy due to being on immunosuppressive medication. Nice to know microcurrent has its own benefit.
Hi Courtney, I’m glad this was helpful! Thank you for being here

Dearest Claudia...Thanks for being a detective for us. You do such a wonderful job of getting information to help us all learn anti-aging techniques! You are beautiful....keep up the good fight (anti-aging that is) :)

Hello Claudia!! Loved this presentation! I have been using my microcurrent device also on my crepey upper arm skin and oh my goodness!! It has improved the sag lines and crepiness sooo sooo much!! I'm thrilled! Am hoping to wear sleeves t- shirts again!! Just love how informative your videos are to watch!! Thank you!
Hi Lorelei, thank you for your lovely comment. And wow, that is so great to hear!!! I am so happy for you. I need to start using my MC on my body.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week

What device do you use?
I use the NuBody device.
@@loreleikubiak6082 Thx for the quick reply!
Another very useful and on-time video! Claudia , one thing that distinguishes you is your nacked skin that goes along with your naked truth approach. I am delighted and encouraged at the subtle, but noticable improvement of your overall appearance - it is more you , natural and authentic .
This is the 3rd comment of yours I am reading this morning that put a smile on my face! Thank you Maria! I am really happy you are part of this little RUclips family

Thank you beautiful Claudia You are glowing.

So red light therapy is my absolute all time favorite at home device and I have a lot of devices gathering dust.

Thank you Claudia for this video. I’m so glad that microcurrent does not cause facial fat loss. I love microcurrent and use it daily even for only five minutes in the morning. I have several micro current devices such as the Pico toner, Myolift mini and the Clareblend mini.
I’m currently looking into purchasing the TriWave. I really do love the result of microcurrent and it’s some thing I don’t ever want to be without.
Hi Cindy, I am glad this was helpful! Wow, you have an amazing collection of MC devices. Please let us know how you like the TriWave
xx
@@claudiaglows Thank you. I reached out to Jane Mann about her microcurrent which is white and it comes with the lift. From what I watched on one of her videos it has a combination of currents that incorporates the pico. I am waiting for a response. I think may purchase that instead.
Which one gave you the best results in lift and best results in relaxing muscles
@@Sonia-bu7yx I love the Pico Toner. I still all my all devices to switch it up.
Thank you for your insight! I've not heard of those device brands. I've only used NuFace Mini. Do you happen to know if it uses the 'correct' wavelengths (is that the correct term?) to be congruent with the body and not harm cells? thank you!
very interesting video - thank you Claudia! Going to haul out one of my micro-current devices. I use my LED mask the most b/c it's just so easy and I'm a bit lazy :)
I am glad this was interesting. I hear you, microcurrent can be a bit time consuming and it is not as relaxing as LED, but hopefully you will enjoy your treatments. Thank you for being here
xx
Stimulating cell generation is what I want with no risk. Thank you very much.
Interesting as always ❤
Thank you Carrie, I am happy you are here

Wow! My NuFace Trinity and my DPL LED Red Light panels have been sitting here collecting dust because I thought they don't really do much of anything! I guess I need to dust them off and start using them every day! Thank you for this information.
Hi, I am glad this inspired you to use your devices again :). Thank you for being here
xx
The best and most honest RUclipsr, I would like to thank you for raising these topics and for your effort with us. What do you think of the Myolift device from me? I would like to buy it. Have you tried it before?
You are a sweetheart! Thank you for your lovely comment. You know, I used to have the Myolift mini, and while I think it is a good device, I gave mine away because I found it to time consuming. If you do not mind putting in the time, it is a good device, but there are others which take less time, like the Ziip for expample.
xx
Thank you so much for this video. I have been using the micro currency devise and I was concerned about loosing facial fat. 😊🙏❤️
You are so welcome Karla. I am glad it was helpful

Good morning I’ve gotten many of these questions. I appreciate you addressing concerns & skepticism. I’m always concerned when I see people using these devices at a level where contraction occurs. Fantastic interview 💕💜
Good morning gorgeous, glad this was helpful. I agree, I used to think we need our muscles to jump around, but good thing we know differently now:)

Okay I bought the Theraface Pro facial device about a week ago & I have not used the microcurrent attachment yet from being skeptical about losing the little bit of facial fat I have left! (am 65 yr.s old). I'm glad I watched this😊 So then it's the RF & the ultrasonic therapy to be aware of! Ah Ha!
Mercii ! Je viens juste de découvrir votre chaîne RUclips ! J'adore ! Très claires et documentés ! Merci pour toute ces vidéos ❤...

This topic is very interesting ❤ kisses claudia take care 😘😘
Grazie Bella! 😘😘😘😘
Great Lady.... Great video ❤
Thank you ❤️

Thank you for great content....Would you be willing to do a side by side comparison, where you don't use the micro current device on one half of the face for say 2 or 3 months? Just to see what happens...It may be a sacrifice for you; though I think there'd be lots of interest.
Hi Havad, thank you for being here
That is an interesting suggestion. A bit scary, but I might just try it …
xx
I heard about that as well, some people say they'd lost facial fat after using microcurrent devices. I've been using a Bear for quite a long time, but personally I haven't had any issues with facial fat loss.
Thank you.

Hola,un video maravilloso . Gracias ❤
Gracias

@ Claudia Glows Hey Beautiful! This was super helpful (and relieving!) I was especially glad to hear you can’t overdo LED because there are days I just linger under my panel because it feels so good! I wonder if she mentioned the target megahertz (mhz) for microcurrent - the level that is ‘physiological’ for our body? Thanks so much for the great info, you’re always teaching us!❤️Xo
Hi gorgeous, glad this was helpful
I too love lingering under my LED panel. She did however talk about MC and not being able to over do that, not LED. I do think with LED, more might not be better, but I will be taking about this with another expert soon
Lots of love
xx
well, dr rajani says we can overdo LED therapy so be careful to it
Thank you for this info. Nowadays skepticism and questioning are necessary even with these RUclips “ doctors” like Dr Dray… when does she actually spend time in a practice with real patients since she seems to spend SO MUCH TIME online on all social platforms with daily uploads?
Hi Sansa, I think it is always good to question things, even the things "experts" say. We are all human and no one knows everything

Hi beautiful!!! Lots of love!!!!❤❤❤
Lots of love to you gorgeous ❤️
Hi , Claudia. It could be that some people experience fat loss and others don’t. Many people have indeed been complaining of having noticed fat loss after using micro current devices.
that could of course be, we are all different. But as far as the science behind it, fat loss does not make sense.
x
Claudia -great info …here’s some of questions: the Doc mentions the importance of identifying EMS vs Microcurrent currents, do we KNOW if Skeen patch is in the right zone for stimulating cellular health of skin versus just muscle stim? And also is it a sign to turn down your microcurrent devices when you get visible muscle twitching? If so, Skeen does create muscle contraction which makes me wonder.
Hi, thank you for your kind words. Dr Nyugen created Skeenpatch. Before I started using it, I met with her in person and she explained the current and program to me at length. She said that in the 30 min cycle there can be a tiny bit of muscle twitching, as the program goes through a different frequency. This does not last long, and should stop as soon as the frequency changes. In a 30 min cycle there are different frequencies, so it is not always the same. You will at times feel a bit of pulsing, at others a slight current and here and there a tiny muscle jump.
Apparently she modeled this program after a Nobel prices winning discovery regarding bone healing.
Dr Nyugen did stress several times that we do not want to turn the device up to high.
I have turned the device on to high of a setting before and it def. contracted my muscles, but as soon as I turn it down, it stops doing so.
For the most part I have the device on setting one or two, not any higher.
Do you get continued muscle contraction/ twitching at a low level?
Ok this is a little reassuring but …yes I can even feel tiny tiny muscle twitching when on level 1 and definitely can feel it occasionally on level 2.
@@carlingus7639 as long as it is not continuously, it is just part of the program according to Dr Nyugen. I really do think she knows what she is talking about and created an amazing device. Please keep us posted on your results
x
@@claudiaglows I'm very curious as to why she put so many levels in the program if we're not supposed to use them?
@@srachui9150 she did not say we are not supposed to use them. She said a frequency from 100 to 650 micro amps is where cell regeneration happens and the program goes through those frequencies. I hope this makes sense
x
Thanks Claudia. On a different topic, your skin is looking great lately! - your face is more toned and lifted than ever. I mean you always look great, but have noticed a positive change recently, maybe for past 2-3 videos. Have you been doing anything different lately (last 2-3-4 months)?
Hi Adela, thank you for your thoughtful comment. You know, I think the Adipeau might actually be working. I am doing my 6 months review of it next Tuesday
xx
@@claudiaglows Hi Claudia, I too noticed a change in your face. You look younger. I see that you said it might be the Adipeau, but also what about your sculptra treatments since it can get better and better with time. I am very much considering Sculptra now after your improved look. But I think i will get the adiepeau also. Thank you.
It could def. be a combination. However you will see in my next video, which is the 6 months Adipeau update, that places where I did not have sculptra have actually gotten fuller...
@@Downy22 sculptra is great!!
@@lulabella9249 Thanks for your reply. I am having BBL light treatments right now, and I am going to invest in Sculptra next.

Hi Claudia, thank you for this video, very very helpful and réassurant to continue with microcurrent. What about nanocurrent ZIIP could be use all over the neck over the thyroid too? Thank you I love all your video xoxo 😘
Hi Geani, thank you for your lovely comment. That is a great question, regarding nano current and thyroid. I would say if you have any thyroid concerns, better save then sorry and it might be best to just avoid the thyroid. You could also reach out to Ziip and see what they say.
Wishing you a great week

Hi Claudia! Long time viewer first time commenting here! I was thinking of buying a neurotris electrocurrent machine. I am interested in the sx3800 thought I saw you talking about this brand for a small period of time but then you no longer mentioned this brand any more. I know the pico toner was popular for a while. I wanted to ask if you had any opinions on the neurotris brand or if you had any negative experiences/feedback on using or heard of any thing from you loyal fans? Thank you Claudia
Hi, it is lovely to hear from you. I really liked the pico toner, but the reason I no longer mention it, is that it is a bit complicated to use and the treatments take quite a bit of time. I found myself using it less and less and going to something that is easier and faster to use. That being said, I did get great results with the pico toner and might at some point, when I have more time, start using it again. I would say if you can afford it and are willing to make the time commitment, it is a great device
I hope that helps
x
@@claudiaglows thank you so much ❤️❤️ love reading your opinions and input 🙏
gracias por la informacion
You are very welcome
I’ve always heard that microcurrent results were temporary. However, I have heard that radio frequency and ultrasound can affect the fat cells.
Hi Stacy, I have heard that as well. I think it refers to the instant lift microcurrent can give, but the collagen and elastin production is def. longterm

I have used the ZIIP over a year and see no fat loss . My understanding is fat loss happens with things that produce heat . There is no heat with ZIIP. I LOVE Y ZIIP. 💜💜
Glad to hear you are loving your ZIIP! I have one as well and think it is fantastic
x
Thank you so much for this information as it was very helpful. May i ask if you used your microcurrent device while using Adipeau?
Hi, I’m glad this was helpful. Yes, I used them both at the same time.
@@claudiaglows thank you!
I wish you would have asked about age spots worsening with microcurrent.
Hi Valerie, I can ask about that in a different video..
I get CACIs and they are brilliant. Definitely makes a difference but you do have to keep it up. Doesn’t last a long time but that’s why you need to keep going…. My bf can always tell
Hi, I am not familiar with CACIs. Can you tell us what that is?
x
@@claudiaglows it’s a salon treatment. You have a course of ten made up of two or three a week and then once every three to four weeks. It’s stronger than nuface etc but can see a bigger difference. It is very noticeable how it lifts the eyes and jowls. I’ve been having them for years.
Thank you for your videos by the way. They are very informative and so helpful and honest. You have a lot of integrity xx

Hi Claudia, bless you :-) I have a question for you… I am with Curology now and was getting a hydroquinone fade cream for dark spots. But in order for me to continue getting that I would have to switch to their company called agency and it would cost a lot more per month. So I am sticking with Curology. Do you know of a reasonably priced hydroquinone fade cream that gets pretty good results?
Hi Nana, unfortunately I do not know if any hydroquinone cream. since I have never used it. But hopefully some other viewers will see your question and have some suggestions

Hello Claudia, I am not very clear if the "ems" current does remove the fat from the face, because I use it to firm my face and now I'm afraid...Thank you so much
I am not sure if it will really melt fat, but too my EMS is thought to possibly deplete ATP and therefore do the opposite of what we would like
hey,
I have a very specific question.
i think you have two ziip halo devices ?
can you please test if you hold only one contact per device to the skin, does the current go from one device to the other?
it would be so great to treat the face with two devices.
i only have one device and unfortunately i can't test it.
Hi, you can use two devices at the same time if you have them
x
Thanks! What about laser at home devices? Do they cause fat loss?
Thank you for being here. I think it really depends on the modality and device and we need to look at each of them separately . But for the most part I would think that at home devices are not string enough to cause fat loss
x
I've heard that microcurrent can bust or pop tiny blood vessels under the skin which then become visible.
I can see how that can happen if a current is used that is way too strong. That is another reason to stay within the physiological current as Dr Nyugen stresses
You say a current “too strong” is negative. Can you please tell up exactly the threshold of amps? All microcurrent faces are different, so I want to know what settings to put it on and how many times to use it for a week. Thank you!
So Dr Nuygen says that a current up to 600 micro amps is beneficial. I think that most at home devices are somewhere around that. But EMS is usually much stronger
After using micro current myolift mini for 6_7 months I feel my face is fuller and more almond shaped, I use LED mask also
That is great to hear
xx
She has a big vested interest in keeping her company's microcurrent products popular and telling people that it doesn't cause fat loss. There is conflict of interest here. Also, microcurrent is used for fat loss with body contouring treatments.
While I understand your concern, she is first and foremost a scientist and talks about what she knows
It can but only with a higher level of microcurrent
Received a photo facial and I lost fat in my face as well.
I am very sorry ti hear that
Claudia I am in a quandary, I have a Dr Pen, Dr Pen Stamp, and Maysama Mask. I really like them, as well as use them appropriately. I am 73 and want to get either a Zipp Halo OR Nira Pro. I have researched both and I just can't decide which I should add into my skin treatment. I hope y can help me make the decision as to which one would help me most. Many thanks
Hi Carol, personally, I’m not a fan of the Nira. I have not tried the new version, but I had the old version and used it for several months as directed and did not see any difference. Not only that, but I burned myself a couple of times with it. If it will, I would definitely get the Ziip
@@claudiaglows Thank yo so much! I will definitely get the Ziip Halo and use your welcomed discount. Thank you!
Hi claudia . I just stumbled upon your chabnel. Could tou please let us know the impact of yoga on face fat.i noticed it mived my face fat near my nose and i feel like a bunmp or dent. Very scared .
Hi Somi, I am happy you are here. Honestly I do not think that yoga has any impact of facial fat. If you do face yoga, it can strengthen and stretch the muscles of the face, but I still do not think it will affect facial fat. If you are afraid to lose facial fat, I would stay away from devices giving of a lot of heat, but yoga is not a concern.
x
What about RF like the NEWA device? Will that help with facial lifting or tightening? Smokers lip lines and forehead lines? Jowls?
Hi, thank you for being here. Radio frequency can definitely help a bit. We’re lifting and tightening. Personally, I don’t use it, since it is quite time consuming, and I have not seen that much of a difference with it. But I have seen other people using it regularly and sigrid was always with it.
I would like to know if I can use Nuface device after having Sculptra treatment. I like to gain some facial fat and not loose it?
Hi, that’s a great question. Personally I used micro current after my sculptra treatments, but you might want to ask your provider to be in the safe side
x
Thank you Claudia I also think that it could help with the collagen stimulation as it is a kind of massage
I am also glad and hope that microcurrent does not dissolve fat as that would be awful and I would not be able to use it
So was she saying ems isn't good? I have both modalities. I feel like something has shifted in my face, but I was also using radio frequency. So I'm not sure which one it was that shifted my facial fat
Hi Danielle, she is saying that EMS has its place, but that it is not used for collagen and elastin stimulation, since it can actually exhaust the cells and deplete ATP.
Hello everyone, I used nuface mini 2x5 min and my nightmare began, my skin and eyes became extremely dry I couldn't stand them anymore, I also had all the symptoms of a thyroid disorder yet my blood tests seemed good! I live in France and doctors think that a beauty machine at home can't create this but it's not true we are victims of anti-aging beauty! The brand of course remains deaf if it had happened to a star when I don't wish anyone it would certainly be different I saw in the FDA reports other similar speeches and even worse!
I am very sorry that happened to you! Did you reach out to the company and tell them about your experience?
@@claudiaglows Thank you for your return Claudia unfortunately I did it! And I told them that I was not the only one to have had serious effects quite similar to mine and that I would like to know that it happened to them! Unfortunately they are deaf I didn't get back to my emails apart from automatic emails. However, their client's health should be important and I am surprised to see that the FDA reports date from more than 2 years ago why the updates of the warnings on the notices have not been updated we are very much on the support groups to have suffered serious consequences and it is horrible to experience it today. Thank you for your support
@@lb352 I am very sorry! And I am very sorry the company is not responding to your concerns. I hope you were at least able to return the device.

Just recently bought my mini hifu v3. 0. I'm just wondering, what's the difference between the pulse frequency and the micro current? Because I've been seeing alot about fat loss. Thanks.
I believe Hifu creates heat. Microcurrent does not
I purchased a nuface mini, the palpitations I had afterwards were awful.. It's getting sent back.
Hi Beauty, I found this interesting. I was investigating the Truth Treatments NRGY device. Many people said it was so strong pushing the facial muscles. I wondered if long term this would cause any damage? I know muscle twitching should not be done for long. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on it, or on the device? I still want the Skeenpatch, but saving money for it. Thanks for any advice you have.
Hi gorgeous, I am glad you enjoyed this. I found the TT device WAY to strong and could not even use it on the lowest setting. According to Dr Nyugen that would cause damage and deplete ATP, rather then produce it. I would say the TT is EMS, not microcurrent. I was also testing another handsfree device, which is half as much as Skeenpatch, but unfortunately same thing, it was way to strong, it actually made my teeth hurt. I would say if the Ziip would be a great alternative. Not cheap either, but a great, true microcurrent device...

@@claudiaglows Thank you! That was my thoughts too. Anything that hurts the face, can't be good for it. I do have the ZIIP and use it. Always on the lookout for good products. Thanks!
@@susanyakus7364 from everything I have tried to far, skeenpathch, the Ziip and the Pico are the best

@@claudiaglows have you tried the mini myolift? Thoughts?
Hi Sonia, I have and found it to time consuming and complicated to use@@Sonia-bu7yx
Could we confirm what recommended physiological level of current amperage is safe that won't cause fat loss but promote ATP, collagen, elastin, ect?
Dr Nyugen said up to 600 micro amps is what she uses
@@claudiaglows Does microcurrent add volume or decrease cheek bones? Could EMS cause fat loss?
Thank you, Claudia. I've seen this question come up a lot in comments sections, though I never really thought this could happen with microcurrent. Most of us are just at an age where a lot of facial changes are happening, so it's impossible to distinguish between natural aging and any devices we may use as the cause. As an aside, could you tell us how often you use retinol alongside your microcurrent device? Most instructions for microcurrent devices warn against applying retinol the night before using it. I'm complying, but I really want to use my retinol every night. I know some people use it the night before or even on the day itself without problems, but I was wondering what your routine is for this.
Hi Santana, thank you for being here. I have actually never heard that you can not use retinoids the night before MC. I use retinoids nightly and MC almost daily and have never had a problem.
x
@@claudiaglows Great, thank you. The reason they give is that microcurrent will push the retinol deeper into the skin, which could potentially lead to irritation. They probably just want to cover all their bases and be extra careful to avoid complaints or backlash. I know other RUclipsrs even use Retin-A at the same time as microcurrent, so I'm gonna give it a try.
@@santanacaipirinha9536 I think you are right, they want to cover their bases. Please keep me posted

@@claudiaglows Will do. If I end up with a mutant rash we'll know it may not be for everyone.
@@santanacaipirinha9536 i hope not ;)
Ckaudia , I would be interested if you would talk about the devices with ionic- or ionic+ effect on skin wellness and face overall health . I just started using one - my very first device.
Hi Maria, I am not familiar with those devices, but can def. look into it. Could you share with me which device you are using?
Claudia, I bought TouchBeuty Cream Booster at a thrift store. It was brand new and unopened package , clearly an older technology, but for $3.95 the risk is low. I started using it last week . The one effect I can say is a plus - the gentle blood circulation it gets going. In your conversation with Clair about devices a wile ago, I took away this point - start with gentle massage and blood flow promotion. I am building the habit of using a skin device.
@@mariachristoff I will have a look at it. You are right, increasing blood flow is always a good thing

Organic Esthetician stresses in her vids that there should be no muscle twitching when using microcurrent..
First time on your channel. First Impression what type of Filler on your Cheeks? Is that Fat Filler? Thx
Hi, welcome. That is actually not filler, but my bones
I have since had bio stimulators to fill in some of the hallow below them
Can i ask if Ultrasound gel is okay to use with this product? I do use it . Many thanks for finding empirical evidence to support your assertions
Hi, thank you for your kind words. I’m not quite sure which product you are talking about. Are you talking about the ZIIP?
I should have been clearer. Yes the Ziip product. Many thanks @@claudiaglows
@@matroncathy571 no worries. They do say you need to use their gel, but I have even just used mineral water. So ultra sound gel should be fine. You will know if you have conductivity if the light is on
Microcurrent does not cause fat loss! If this was true then i wouldbe usng this deice on my belly and i would be fat free 😂 and boy have i tried this on my belly... Its doesnt work! It also doeant do much in the long run except probably make skin look plumper in the moment, i mean youre dreaming if you think a machine is going to stop the ageing process. And problem is people like me (im28) started using this quite young and trust me i see no difference in my face BUT now that im 28 heading towards 30 i notice a natural decline in my face fat anyway and im assuming its the normal ageing process. I notice this fat loss in my whole body though not just my face! Thats how i know its just an ageing prcocess. Too may people be usng thse devices including Tret and thinking omg i will now stop ageing...no you will still age... Perhaps just better than most. And remember if kim Kardashian who has billions in her bank cant even fix her jowls, and stop the aging process you best believe we all have no chance
What about nanocurrent? I understand it is the best for skin as it is mimicking our own body current
I think that both, nano and micro current are great for the skin. But neither causes fat loss
Interesting
Glad this was interesting Deborah

Hi,Claudia I need something to keep mu jawline tight and neck. I was going to buy a micro currant devise but now i just don't know. I want your advise please. I want to buy and red light therapy light for my body.
Hi Diana, I do think that microcurrent as well as LED are great modalities and both can make a nice difference. But of course at home devices can only do so much, so you might not see as much tightening of the neck and jawline as you would like. Keeping that in mind, I would say if you can afford to buy both, go for it. You will see some subtle or maybe even not so subtle results and LED is also quite versatile as far as being able to use it for pain, injury, hair growth....
I hope this helps, if not, please do not hesitate to ask more questions

@@claudiaglows Thank you. What do you use? Thank you for being honest
Great video! I have a question. What about face yoga causing fat loss? I remember the doctor who founded Adipeau skincare mentioned this. Any thoughts?
Hi Sarah, thank you for being here. That’s a great question and I honestly do not know the answer, but I actually doubt that face yoga works melt facial fat .

Great thank you for answering!!

Can micro current really mess with the heart ❤️ how likely is it should I use it I have heart palpitation occasionally if it safe
I am not certain about that. But if you have heart problems I would definitely run it by your doctor
Great video and the drs. English was fine.
Thank you Maureen

Hello Claudia, do you know about the NuFace device? it is supposed to strenghten the muscles. Does is also melt the fat?
Hi Sonja, I have tried the Nuface device. Personally it was not my favorite, but I do not believe it causes facial fat loss
@@claudiaglows thanks for the info. In that case, do you have any favorites? please🥰
@@sonjas.8911 i love the skeenpatch as well as the ziip
@@claudiaglows So very helpful🥰
