1:10 Intro
1:20 Which devices do I use one year later?
2:55 How often do I use my devices and how do I combine them?
3:44 What are the differences between the devices?

7:25 Which device is my favorite?
8:05 TL;DR
As doctor passionate about skin care that delivers results and about well aging, I want to help you quickly and efficiently pick a skin care regime that works, by explaining the science behind skin and by sharing quick product reviews.
I am a big believer that creating a skincare routine that targets your specific concerns is not a matter of your budget. There are many great affordable brands out there: The Inkey List, Good Molecules, Geek & Gorgeous or pixi skincare to name a few of my favorites, and if you know how to combine them, you are well on your way to healthy and happy skin.
Healthy and happy skin does not mean "flawless" - whatever that might be. I have been struggling with acne, hyperpigmentation and postinflammatory erythema (PIH and PIE) for most of my adult life, and it took me a while to figure out that gentle is key. I went through a retinol damaged skin barrier, acne flare ups and sun damage until I finally reached my happy place: With Tretinoin, sunscreen and of course a red lipstick!

Which devices do you use?
Thanks for your summary. I agree with you that the RF/US devices give more clearly visible results and and the masks and IR panels are more subtle.
I am amazed by the results from RF/US, I hadn't expected that at home.
Another great video - thank you Dr. Anne - I always appreciate your honesty and directness. I use an LED full body panel with a horizontal stand each day. That way I get the benefits of infrared and near-infrared light all over my body including my scalp (for alopecia) and facial skin. It definitely improves the microcirculation in my skin. It's also easy, relaxing and meditative while lying down.
It certainly sounds like it! Do you do one session on your stomach and one on your back? Or just one side?
@@DoctorAnne Ah, yes indeed. I do 10 mins each side which is the recommended dosage using the MitoRed panel :)
@@davidsotir4318 20 minutes of relaxation.
Thank you for your insights Dr Anne. I agree that the combination of different methods probably has more effect as an anti aging regimen. And I can totally relate to loving taking care of my skin yet being a bit lazy to use devices lol. I am using the TriPollar Stop Vx (RF + DMA) but I don't use it enough because it takes a bit of time and use of conduction gel required. I did notice some very subtle tightening results from it. I have used a professional LED device a few times a week at my former job that had such a device (Lumi8 from Aesthetic Solutions / Mesoestetic) and the results were very good, bright and glowing skin. I'm going to buy the Omnilux soon because it's more convenient to use and hopefully that will motivate me to use the RF device more often :) I'm interested in the RF device that you are using though. Have a great weekend ❤
I will review it once I finished at least eight weeks of treatment. From what I have read the principle is the same as it is with the TriPollar though.
These reviews are so helpful. I have always struggled with large pores so I’ve been contemplating buying the Medicube device you mentioned. Would you say there are any benefits to starting to use these devices earlier, especially in terms of stimulating collagen production? Or would it be better to wait a few more years? I just turned 25.
That is hard to say and largely depends on where you are at in your life and how the rest of your routine looks like. Your mid-20s are the time the loss starts to kick in - on average. It might be later for you or even earlier if you are a smoker/ sun worshipper.
But the effect these devices have is always minimal, so before investing a large amount of money most people in their mid 20s don't have, you should look at your lifestyle and the rest of your routine to see if there is something else you can improve.
These devices are for those that have the money to spare and everything else in place already, not a first line necessity.
Thanks Dr Anne !! I used micro current prongs & LED, both were very effective imo & I kept it up for a year maybe 🌺💛. Buuuut over time it wasn’t worth the time. Can’t believe I’m saying it but I think I’m ok looking worse bc I do lol 😁!! Skincare definitely keeps me happy though for now. Thanks again ❤
I totally get that - we all have a limited amount of time and we need to decide how to spend that in a way that makes us the most content.
I also love the Ussera and the red light therapy mask. I only use the Ussera once a week, whereas I use the mask 2-3 times a week, but the effects are very obvious. One tightens more and the other seems to smooth more, and add glow. I just bought the Ziip today and am looking forward to adding micro/nanocurrent for muscle toning.
I do use tretinoin most days, with glycolic acid instead once or twice a week. That probably makes the biggest difference, though red light comes a close second. I also have a couple other Medicube products, the one for micro 'needling' with air and the one for deep product penetration. Both are effective at what they claim, though not significantly enough for me to use them most weeks. I may go back to the penetration one soon. I also recently bought a Dr. Pen and intend to try to fit that into my routine for once a month.
Thanks for your videos. You've helped me feel more confident about my choices, including everything I'm leaving out.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and your kind words.
Thank you Doctor Anne. I really love your reviews. My skin care routine is based on your videos and reviews ! i haven't tested any of this tools yet, but i will start save some money for my first buy ! It will be problebly the leed mask, but i admit that "colagen booster" are two words that make my eyes glow. hehehe I will love to see your opinion (and the diferences) beteen "[Needle-free Pore Care] Age-R ATS Air Shot" and "[Glow Boost] Age-R Booster-H" Even if i don't seek buy this two too soon.
Thank you for your kind words!
I have those 2 devices as well as the Ussera. I find them all to be effective at what they claim to do, but the Ussera definitely has the biggest visible impact. But the Booster most definitely does boost the power of whatever product you use. This is most obvious when I first started using it with tretinoin at just .025%. It was like I was suddenly using .05%! I got used to it though and just considered that I went up in dosage strength without needing to change my Rx to permanently go up. Now I'm at .05% tret regularly, but when I use the Booster it's like getting a temp bump up to .1% (which I don't think I'll ever permanently change my Rx to be). The airshot I notice the least effect with. I've done Quire microneedling at .25 mm depth and that minor effect was still more than the airshot. Seems to have the equivalent effect of maybe more like .1 or .15mm microneedling would. So something, some smoothing and glow, but very little and not worth the bother, as evidenced by the fact I've only used it about 10 times in a year. Hope this helps.
@@IndigooceanOrg Thank you, that was very helpful indeed!
Yo tengo el Foreo Bear y el Tripollar y estoy muy contenta con los dos. Gracias al Foreo Bear noto los ojos más abiertos, las cejas más arriba. Hay que usarlo unas cinco veces por semana pero se mantienen los resultados así. El tripollar lo utilizo cada 15 días y me gusta mucho, aunque me da más pereza utilizarlo 😅
Sí, si usa microcorriente regularmente, el efecto es realmente agradable. Le regalé el Foreo Bear a mi mamá, a ella también le gusta.
I got the faq 202 led mask some two months ago and use my foreo bear for microcurrent treatments. I like using them and I'm being consistent with them. I see that I'm getting desired resluts so it must be doing a good job.
That is great to hear.
Hi Dr. Anne, I am your age and besides a good skincare routine (sunscreen everyday, vit. C, retinal, copper peptides etc.) I started using an LED mask (Omnilux) which has given me the same results that you mentioned from yours in a couple of months. I am also using a device for the eye area (Venus from Evenskyn), not sure how effective it is but it's relaxing and recently started using an EMS device (which is pretty intense I must say, but it's too early to judge). And I have also ordered a high frequency device (one of those "mini-HIFU" things). I am also interested in the Ziip and Rf, but all these combined will amount to a looong, long routine 😅 (I'm also doing yoga/facial massage). I think for me it's important because I'm going through a very stressful time in my life and I need to take some time for self-care.
I have also started going to a clinic where I'm doing some treatments (mesotherapy, something combining Rf and EMS, professional LED therapy and I want to try their oxygen therapy as well).
I have always looked much younger than my biological age (even now people think I'm in my late 20s), so I'm trying to preserve what I have and also focus on something else than the stress...
I've also started a pretty complex supplement regime since I'm having some health issues.
It is a great way of taking care of yourself, especially if you feel like it helps you prevent your looks.
And I am sorry to hear that you are going through a stressful time in your life, I hope things slow down for you soon. Stress plays a huge role in our bodies overall health.
I haven't tried any kind of red light therapy, but I will say that my microcurrent device has done WONDERS for my frown lines. I'm using the Foreo Bear which, tbh, is difficult to use and very intense, that being said I notice a difference right away when I use it. With consistent use I find I frown a lot less often and the lines between my eyebrows look noticeably better for longer. Microcurrent is difficult, but once I got my face where I wanted it to be with every day use, I started spacing out the treatments more and that makes reaching for it only a few days a week much more manageable. (If I could buy a different microcurrent device I would want something a little smaller than the bear just so I could get into smaller areas of my face). Keep in mind, I also use the Foreo Luna every day when I cleanse my face and that alone helped a lot. I have a routine, but these two devices were defo a game changer for me, especially because I knew I couldn't afford botox every 6 months.
Smaller than the Foreo Bear? I was under the impression it was one of the smallest out there? Or do you refer to the electrodes only?
i really feel as youre maintaining results! i am wondering what your thoughts on the highly price dermaluxe flex it has a lot more bulbs at 120 red, 120 near-infrared compared to the current body
I haven't treid that one my self, but in general: More lights equal better results, but more important is the exact wavelength they have.
Thank you for these reviews. I have the Solawave wand and am ready to invest in a second device. I’ve been looking at the Medicube Deep Shot but am worried about the heat causing fat loss. How much of a concern is fat loss when using this to boost collagen production? Thank you again for all your insights, it’s much appreciated.
Also is it okay to use the Deep Shot on areas where you’ve had Botox done?
I address both questions in my video on how radiofrequency works ruclips.net/video/Zmf12vxKijk/видео.html
@@bluejune That depend on different factors and should best be discussed with the person injecting the botox.
Thanks for the update. Did you use tretinoin on the same nights as the Ussera device? I'm trying to make sure I don't irritate my skin
I did, but every skin is different, so you need to see how your skin reacts.
My fav is LED mask and medicube R age userra !!!
Amazing picks.
Any issues with hyperpigmentation when using the Medicube Ussera? I'm just wondering if it could make it worse? Or has no affect on hyperpigmentation?
That depends on the kind of hyperpigmentation you have. No issues with sun spots, but I would be cautious if I had melasma.
Thanks for this good information. But about the radiofrequency device I've heard that some people have stopped using RF device _ because they have been told it burns the fat cells in-the-face_ causing face to droop more.
Is this true or false about the RF device?
I address that in my video on radiofrequency here: ruclips.net/video/Zmf12vxKijk/видео.html
Bottom line is: It can do that, but needs a lot of heat that is probably not reached with at home devices.
Is the AGE-R Ussera Deep Shot the same as the current body led mask ? I have the led mask and want to buy the age r shot but they kinda sound similar so im not sure if is worth it.
They have a completely different mechanism of action, absolutely not the same.
Just stumbled across this video after watching your video on the medicube ussera as I recently got the device and was looking for more information about results. I know this video is a year old, but just want to say I love how you're so informative about the data available and transparent about your process and results, Dr. Anne! Thank you!
I am loving the Ussera so far- it's been about 3 weeks of using it 2x a week and I am starting to see subtle changes in firmness and smoothing of fine lines. My routine already consists of tretinoin (face), retinal (neck and decolletage), vitamin c in the AM and spf of course, peptide serum (includes copper peptides), omnilux led mask (face and neck), and medicubes ems device 1-2x week. I agree with you that a solid skin care routine is necessary and the devices just enhance that. I love your videos, would love to see more of your results longer term! Thanks again Dr. Anne!
I will do a yearly update to keep you informed about my skin changes and if any devices change.
And your routine sounds great!
@@DoctorAnne That would be fantastic! Can't wait!
Genau das sind auch meine Erfahrungen mit den genannten Modalitäten. Am besten finde ich persönlich Medicube Ussera, ich würde das Gerät sofort ersetzen, wenn kaputt. Also: Vielen Dank!
Welche anderen Geräte hast Du verwendet (oder verwendest Du)?
@@DoctorAnne So ziemlich alles. :) Mikrostrom: Ziip, Nuface, Foreo Bear, no names, EMS: Medicube, Rio, no names, LED: Qure, Rio, Aduro, Ganzkörpermatte + no names, RF: Nebulyft, Tripollar + no names, Dermawand, IPL, Nira Laser, Liftmee, DrPen, Ultramed, Solawave...
@@geviert Oh wow, das ist eine Menge, da ist meine Kollektion ja echt bescheiden.
@@DoctorAnne Ich sollte wohl ein paar Tests veröffentlichen 😁
@@geviert Unbedingt, die sind sehr beliebt.
I would pick the mask 🎭 over anything else because I collect all kinds of masks I have around 300 of them 🎉
I bet that one would be a unique one.
@@DoctorAnne it would be fun & electrifying ! 🤣😂🤫😱👺⚡️
@@foltz-art 🤣
can we use led light on eyelids and around eye area ( with our eyes closed ), is it safe to do that.
That depends on the device, there are some that are designed for that area and others that recommend you wear protective goggles.
Super groovy cool I was waiting on this 🎉✌️ heck I would walk 🚶 around the mall with that mask on haha 😂 🤣 🎭 led power ⛮ Marky digs that ❤ gosh I like this video your always amazing what a fabulous video ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I only walk around with it at home, which is scary enough for everyone I meet.
😱Haha that's super funny maybe you should get ya a guitar 🎸 and do a karaoke rock song video that would be so fun .🎉 🤣⚡️🤟 anyways I loved the video it was very interesting & educational*
@@foltz-art Haha, no. I don't know the first thing about music and only my kids enjoyed me singing when they were little.
Awe that's sweet. And I But I bet you can sing very lovely. 🤗✌️🌻
@@foltz-art Absolutely not.
Could you comment on the difference between the Medicube and the Evenskyn Limo.?
Not profoundely, as I only have used one - I can look at the stats provided, but they only are half the picture.
@@DoctorAnne I have been using the Lumo for quite a while and will stay with that. I was just wondering. Danke!
@@Alice-oe4kd Gern :)
Could I ask you to count the diods on the CurrentBody LED mask please? They claim the number that many users that uploaded reviews in YT contradict. The latter say the number of diods on this mask
is much lower. I’ve tried to count the diods on the picture but it’s not easy and I’ve failed to succeed. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
I counted 56, but it is a little hard to count as they aren't in straight columns, so give or take 1 I'd say.
@@DoctorAnne heartfelt thanks 🌹
@@DoctorAnne I have some concerns. Is this at all possible to have 123 diods then? I’ve counted the light spots a number of times on the photo of the device they feature on their website. I’ve also counted 56 light “spots”. Even if one light spot has two bulbs in, it’s not 132 leds but just 112. I’m very confused. I’ll email them when I have some spare time.
@@frankparoutoflovefci571 It is 56 lights, but I of course can't tell you if some of them have three diodes.
If they answer, please share it here.
@@DoctorAnne they did, a couple of days later. Didn’t address the varying number of leds ( one prominent 🇺🇸 influencer admitted in her comparative video to having been provided by CurrentBody the information that there were 49 red&49 near infrared leds on their face mask and I related to that in my email to CurrentBody) so I figured I’d purchase the one that has no “controversy”around hence the OmniluxLed Contour. Interesting but after just 4 “treatments”, can’t say anything about its efficacy. Fingers crossed so I am happy with the results in the long run 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Can you use red light indefinitely and how many times a week? it doesn't cause fat loss does it??
You shouldn't use it 24/7, but there is no limit to how long you can use it. How often per week depends on the brand you are using, but most recommend at least three times a week, better five times a week.
And no, it does not cause fat loss.
thanks so much for answering that!@@DoctorAnne
@@loribecchi8819 You are welcome.
kann man das medicube device denn auch nach deutschland bestellen? es scheint ja nur eine US seite zu geben leider
Bestellen ja, sie zeigen auch den Preis in € an, wenn man das einstellt. Es ist aber möglich, dass da noch Zoll dazu kommt.
Lack of facial volume is not due to muscle loss It is from fat repositioning or fat loss in the face. Also loss of collage and elastin. These are primary reasons. Not muscle. Microcurrent is temporary plumping of muscles with no long term benefits.
I don't disagree with you completely, loss of muscle is surely not the main driver in facial aging. There is muscular atrophy though, so in a well rounded concept microcurrent might offer additional effects.
Its a lot of work , but couldn't see enough change for the work 😢
I agree, the results are minimal compared to the effort.
