Over 8 years ? This is an investment device are you happy with the results ? I am going through RF professional sessions right now and I am looking for a good device I will purchase to maintain the results
Great video. Thanks for testing. I was always so scared to get burned if I used RF with other gels besides the ones recommended. Great to know there are cheaper alternatives. Great job on putting these to the test.
Le Mieux o2 Calming gel is great for your skin and works on both the NEWA (RF) and ZIIP (Microcurrent) devices. I use them one after the other with the same gel!
So helpful! I was using a different gel with my nebulyft and noticed it didn’t seem as warm but it went right over m head that the gel I was using was too thick! I just whipped up amn aloe gel with a little smart water and it’s nice and warm and feels marvelous. So glad I watched this video.
Thanks so much for this info! You’re totally correct regarding price and fragrance in the manufacturer’s gels. I bought the Tripollar based on your videos (& research) but I haven’t finished their gel yet. Happy to know there’s a fragrance free and less costly alternative. I use the Target aloe Vera gel with the Foreo microcurrent Bear.
I’ve been using something called Ab Sonic with my Newa. It conducts heat better than the Newa gel for me. I also have Fruit of the Earth aloe that I want to try with the Newa. I’ve been using that for my NuFace
I use Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel - Conductive Facial Gel with my Nebulyft. It works great! It is water-based with hyaluronic acid, aloe, green tea and lots of other good things.
This video is so timely and helpful. Current body is doing a Mother's Day sale so I almost buy a tube of Newa gel to replace the tripollar gel because Newa gel is less expensive, although Newa gel is still very expensive.
I have a Newa. I made my own using aloe gel, glycerine, hyaluronic acid, a touch of sea salt and pure copper peptide. You should add some sort of mineral to increase conductivity. Do not use anything oil based.
I didn’t think radio frequency devices conduct. I though that was just microcurrent which leverage electrical current. Radio frequency devices conduct too? Conduct heat? I never use oil with any devices. Just seems like it wouldn’t work.
@@beautybeyond40 I wasn’t sure either but when I researched some of the gels out there I noticed that most of them contain some type of salt and a mineral. I also use the same gel for my microcurrent device so I figured what the heck. I wanted to let you know that I purchased my Newa and my Aduro led mask from the information on your channel. That Aduro was a total game changer! I love it. It looks like I’m getting some results from the Newa as well! Thank you so much! 😍
I don't think they make that old NuFACE gel anymore. Do you have some of the old gel? I did not test it with the new gel and that is a new formula, which I did not test.
I just started using the Newa and the gel doesn’t have a scent at least not to me, and the NuFace still makes that gel. I recently purchased some. I thank you so much for making this video because I have been thinking about alternative gel for these devices. Thank you 😊
Hada labo lotions and Neutogena Hydroboost gel also work great for Tripollar. All are fragrance-free and Costco has starting carrying the Hydroboost. Glycerin is in top three ingredients on list. It does absorb, so I use it on the skin area right before I use the device. I don't do my entire face at once in the beginning.
Thank you for this! I knew glycerin worked with the med spa versions of Tripollar but am glad you went through all your trials. I follow you on Instagram and love all your posts!
I don’t recall….I’ll have to try again and make a note. I was really focused on getting the blinking light to change colors and that’s all I was really paying attention to! 😅
Dear Trina ❤️ Didn't really understand what kind work with the Tripollar? Tripollar gel is very expensive and it's different than the others. Thank you so much for your channel 💖💖
Today on Beauty Beyond 40, I tested out 3 gels with my radio frequency devices. Below are my results: ✔ ALOE VERA GEL: * Newa - YES * Nebulyft - YES * Tripollar - NO ✔GLYCERIN GEL: * Newa - YES * Nebulyft - NO * Tripollar - YES ✔ NUFACE GEL: * Newa - YES * Nebulyft - YES * Tripollar - NO
This is o helpful Trina. Thank you for this. I don't have any of these devices but I am getting the Nebulyft R1 as soon as I see a good sale. I use the Ziip and have not found an alternative to their gel. I do love their gel but if I get the Nebulyft it would be nice to save some money on one device with aloe. There isn't an alternative for the ziip, right?
yes, the target brand is the one I have specifically tested and I like the formula as it's quite clean. This is the one I know works. I can't speak to other aloe vera products.
Hi! Do you know if in the effect is the same with the gold gel for tripollar stop gold 2 machine than if you use another other transparent gel (even the gel is not from tripollar) Thanks a lot
Hi Trina, I had a couple of questions. Since you tried Nira laser for the eyes and then I saw your vlog on EvenSkyn Venus for eyes as well, which one would you recommend more for prevention of lines and lack of firmness around the eyes as I believe they work on different modalities? Also, EvenSkyn Lumo comes with RF + EMS and additional programs so do you believe its more effective than something like Tripollar Vx? Would the Lumo be more beneficial for someone in their early 50s than Tripollar Vx? Main concerns are early signs of sagging in mid cheeks and around jowls area and ageing signs on the neck. I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Hi. It’s such a hard question and I think it comes down to preference. I love the NIRA and keep using it because it really tightens my hooded eyes - and then I just keep using it around the rest of my eye area. I have never used anything like this laser that has made such a drastic difference with my hooded eyes. But I also have been using my Venus because my eyes have been dark and puffy and swollen lately from seasonal allergies. I believe they’re both wonderful devices. You will see improvement if you are consistent with any device you choose, so my advice is always to get the device you think you will use consistently. Make note of the return policy, so you can return one if you’re not seeing results and take before and after photos along the way. Regarding the Lumo versus tripollar, I find the the Lumo EMS to be very uncomfortable but I don’t find this to be the case with the tripollar Vx . So for me personally, I would use the Vx but some people really love the Lumo and they love EMS so it comes down to preference. Again I’ve seen both these devices work on my face. Go with your gut instinct on this one, make note of the return policy, and just give one a try. You just have to get started
@@beautybeyond40 Thank you so much time for your detailed response. I already have the Tripollar Vx and I love it but thought the EMS might help more with firmness. I don't have any device for the eyes and wanted to get the Mira since your vlog on the efficacy of Nira but was double minded about Nira or Venus. I am also developing hooded eye lids but to one side so going by what you said, prob Nira is better for that. Once again thank you
I tried the glycerin with my Tripollar Stop VX and it did work, has no fragrance obviously, but it did seem to take longer to heat up and I felt the heat less than with the gel it came with. Does that mean it's working enough/the same? The EMS is less painful too! Just don't want to have a lesser result.
I don't know. I have been using my glycerin with no issues. As I mentioned in my video, if you have hesitation or want to ensure the optimal experience according to the brand, it's best to use the gel that comes with the device.
Hi! Thank you for this video. I wanted to know, could you use that vegetable glycerin for both rf devices and microcurrent devices or doesn't it would work for the second?
No, I would not use glycerin for any of my microcurrent devices. It’s way too thick and I don’t know that it would conduct the current. I have a separate video about microcurrent gels and serums if you’d like to go watch that
Unfortunately, I don’t have that device so I can’t speak to it. I would just use the gel that comes with the device and you can check the ingredients in that gel and cross reference it to available alternatives
I would not use oil if you’re trying to conduct heat with a device. Oil with microcurrent devices does not allow the electricity to conduct. I would imagine oil is the same for rf devices and does not allow full conductivity 😳
Can u please next to the devices names in the description write what kind of device they are ? Rf, microcurrent, etc bc At this point I'm so confused between Tripollar, nebulyft, newa, etc.
Probably not because a Tripollar needs a really thick gel and the ziip needs a thinner gel. You’re welcome to watch my microcurrent gel video if you want to cross reference it
I’m not familiar with hifu, but I’m pretty sure you could Google it. Here’s my RF device comparison video since it’s such a frequently asked question: ruclips.net/video/uY2rBaBzWqE/видео.html
I have a video on my channel about microcurrent alternative gels, which you could go watch and read the comments for more suggestions. This video is about radio frequency so it's not going to provide the answers you're looking for.
I've been using Organic Glycerin gel with my Tripollar for over 8 years and have mentioned it many times as an alternative x
I did not know you can use glycerin as a conductor for RF and micro current. I have the News and Nuface Good to know.
Where do you purchase it?
@@ChloeGraciela you can use glycerin for rf but not microcurrent
Over 8 years ? This is an investment device are you happy with the results ? I am going through RF professional sessions right now and I am looking for a good device I will purchase to maintain the results
do you think it is effective?
I start with a gel and then just keep a water facial sprayer. I spray with water as the conductive gel starts to drag. Best fix ever!
Yes. I apply 2 different serums, seal with a lotion then I mist my face so I continue to have slip while using the microcurrent. Easy!
Trina, Thank you so much for recommending the Up & Up Aloe Vera Gel for my Nebulyft. It works great and you saved me a ton of money. Love your videos.
so glad to hear!
Great video. Thanks for testing. I was always so scared to get burned if I used RF with other gels besides the ones recommended. Great to know there are cheaper alternatives. Great job on putting these to the test.

I use the Target aloe Vera gel with the Foreo microcurrent Bear.
Which tripollar model do you have? I got the VX and wonder if I still need a microcurrent device since the VX has DMA
@@yinyanchan I have the StopX
I’ve been using something called Ab Sonic with my Newa. It conducts heat better than the Newa gel for me. I also have Fruit of the Earth aloe that I want to try with the Newa. I’ve been using that for my NuFace
I use the same gel with my Newa and after a month, it seems to be working well.
I use Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel - Conductive Facial Gel with my Nebulyft. It works great! It is water-based with hyaluronic acid, aloe, green tea and lots of other good things.
Good to know! Thanks 😊
I was just looking at that one on Amazon I might just get it now
Thanks for another informative video! Love that you are straight to the point!
Thank you Trina, this was great information! Great video.
Great video. I always worry about pairing properly. This really helps.
This video is so timely and helpful. Current body is doing a Mother's Day sale so I almost buy a tube of Newa gel to replace the tripollar gel because Newa gel is less expensive, although Newa gel is still very expensive.
Current body a gel or a place where you purchase the gels? I’m looking for an afford replacement for Newa gel

@@lisad3184 awesome. If it’s working - keep going!
Can you link to the products you used to make your own gel? And how much product to use of each.
Thanks for testing. I mix glycerin & aloe gel for the Tripollar.
Great idea!
What's the ratio?
@@yinyanchanSorry but I don't measure, around 3 to 1....3 being the glycerin and 1 the aloel. It isn't thick like the one you get with the Tripollar.
Thank you for this video i am so happy i found it. 😁
I hate the NEWA gel. I did not know that I could use the NuFACE gel for the NEWA, I'll try it. Thank you!
I don't think they make that old NuFACE gel anymore. Do you have some of the old gel? I did not test it with the new gel and that is a new formula, which I did not test.

Maybe the new newa gel doesn’t have a scent? That is promising to hear
Great video! Do microcurrent and radiofrequency devices require different gels please? Thank you
Yes, microcurrent gel specifically conducts the electrical current in the device. I have a separate video about microcurrent gels.
@@beautybeyond40 ah ok thank you - thought I could save and get a 2-in-1 but I won’t if it’ll be ineffective
I confirm that glycerin now conducts tripollar RF electricity
thanks for testing!
Hada labo lotions and Neutogena Hydroboost gel also work great for Tripollar. All are fragrance-free and Costco has starting carrying the Hydroboost. Glycerin is in top three ingredients on list. It does absorb, so I use it on the skin area right before I use the device. I don't do my entire face at once in the beginning.
awesome, thanks!
Which hada labo lotions may I ask. I use the HL lifting lotion, and it seems to work. Not sure about other ones tho.
Thank you for this! I knew glycerin worked with the med spa versions of Tripollar but am glad you went through all your trials. I follow you on Instagram and love all your posts!
Thank you for watching!
Please do a follow up on microcurrent gels. Wondering about the vegetable glycerin and conductivity.
I don’t imagine that will conduct. Microcurrent needs minerals to conduct
Glycerin NOW có cần pha thêm muối hay đại loại thứ gì khác , hay chỉ cần bôi trực tiếp lên da như gel Tripollar, tks.
Hi thanks for your beauty channel 👍👍👍. Have you found any gel that will work for the Tripollar VX Gold?
Helpful vid, Trina! For the Newa - did the aloe vera or the glycerin work better? Thank you!
I don’t recall….I’ll have to try again and make a note. I was really focused on getting the blinking light to change colors and that’s all I was really paying attention to! 😅
Thoughts on Silkin' gel? Its an RF gel for the Silkin' brand device. I just got the tripollar X stop. 😊
I’m not familiar with that device or its gel
Dear Trina ❤️
Didn't really understand what kind work with the Tripollar? Tripollar gel is very expensive and it's different than the others.

@@beautybeyond40 I'll look for it. Thanks
What about the Ziip gel? I love it because you rarely have to reapply. Curious if it works with RF
I didn't test it because I don't have any and it's SO expensive! The theme of this video was affordable gels.
@@beautybeyond40 thank you! It is expensive, that's for sure! I still have the one device came with
@@jenhoff4240 you can try it! Just be careful and test on your arm
Will any clear Aloe Vera gel work or is there something special about the Target brand?
yes, the target brand is the one I have specifically tested and I like the formula as it's quite clean. This is the one I know works. I can't speak to other aloe vera products.
