7 Easy Steps on How to Use Nuface ~ future.housing.org.uk

One of the most popular microcurrent devices on the market today is NuFACE. NuFACE is a handheld device that uses microcurrents to stimulate the muscles in your face, which can help to lift and tone your skin. Microcurrent is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your skin, and it can be used on all skin types. NuFACE is also relatively affordable, making it a great option for people who are looking for a way to improve their skin without spending a lot of money. Additionally, NuFACE is easy to use, so you can get started right away.

To use NuFACE, first cleanse your face and apply a conductive gel. The conductive gel will help the microcurrents to penetrate your skin more effectively. Then, glide the NuFACE device over your face in a circular motion. You can use the NuFACE device on your forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. It is important to be gentle when using the NuFACE device, and to avoid using it on broken or irritated skin. After using the NuFACE device, apply a moisturizer to your face.

You can use the NuFACE device for 5-10 minutes each day. Most people start to see results within a few weeks of using the NuFACE device, but it is important to be patient. Microcurrent is a gentle treatment, and it takes time to see the full results. With regular use, the NuFACE device can help to improve the appearance of your skin, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look.

Preparing Your Skin for Treatment

Preparing your skin before using Nuface is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes. Here are step-by-step instructions to ensure your skin is ready:

1. Cleanse Your Skin

Thoroughly cleanse your face with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleansers that can irritate your skin.

2. Exfoliate (Optional)

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and allows the treatment to penetrate deeper into the skin. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or sponge 1-2 times per week. Avoid over-exfoliation, which can damage your skin.

Types of Exfoliating Methods

Method	Description
Physical Exfoliation	Uses scrubs or sponges to remove dead skin cells manually.
Chemical Exfoliation	Uses acids or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells gently.
Microdermabrasion	A professional exfoliation method that uses a fine abrasive material to remove dead skin layers.

After exfoliation, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat it dry.

3. Tone Your Skin

Apply a toner to help balance your skin’s pH levels and remove any remaining impurities. Use a toner that is appropriate for your skin type, avoiding alcohol-based products that can be drying.

4. Moisturize Your Skin

Moisturizing your skin before treatment helps create a barrier between your skin and the device, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment. Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer that won’t clog your pores.

Applying the Nuface Gel Primer

Before using the Nuface device, it is essential to apply the Nuface Gel Primer to the treatment area. This conductive gel serves as a medium to enhance the delivery of microcurrents to the skin, enabling the device to target deeper layers effectively.

Materials Required:

Item
Nuface Gel Primer
Clean cotton rounds or a washcloth

Instructions:

Cleanse the Treatment Area:
- Cleanse the treatment area thoroughly using a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.
- Ensure the skin is dry before applying the gel primer.
Apply a Thin Layer of Gel:
- Dispense a dime-sized amount of the Nuface Gel Primer onto a clean cotton round or washcloth.
- Apply the gel evenly over the treatment area.
Wait for the Gel to Set:
- Allow the gel primer to set for approximately 5 minutes before using the Nuface device. This allows the gel to penetrate the skin and create a more effective conductive medium.
- During this time, you can prepare your Nuface device and choose the desired treatment setting.

Using the Nuface Device on Your Face

Preparation

Before using the Nuface device, cleanse your face and neck thoroughly. Remove any makeup, dirt, or oil to ensure optimal conductivity. Apply a conductive gel to the treatment area. This gel helps to enhance the device’s effectiveness by creating a smooth surface for gliding.

Device Settings

The Nuface device offers various intensity levels. Start with a low setting and gradually increase it as your skin tolerates it. The device also allows you to customize the treatment time to suit your needs.

Treatment Technique

Glide the Nuface device over the treatment area using gentle, upward strokes. Avoid applying excessive pressure and allow the device to glide smoothly. Hold the device in place for a few seconds at the end of each stroke to allow the microcurrent to penetrate the skin.

Facial Areas to Target

Focus on areas of your face that show signs of aging, such as:

Area	Benefits
Forehead	Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Cheeks	Lifts and tones sagging skin
Nasolabial folds	Smooths out smile lines
Jawline	Defines jawline and reduces jowls
Neck	Tightens and rejuvenates skin

Treating Different Facial Areas

1. Forehead

Place the larger curved edge of the NuFACE attachment flat against the center of your forehead, just above your eyebrows. Gently glide the device upward, following the contour of your forehead to the hairline. Avoid over-treating the forehead, as this area can be prone to wrinkles.

2. Cheeks

Start at the center of your face, near the nose, and gently glide the device outward towards your temples. Keep the device flat against your skin and follow the natural curvature of your cheekbones. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can cause redness or discomfort.

3. Under Eyes

Use the smaller spherical attachment for this delicate area. Place the attachment under the inner corner of your eye, just below the lower lash line. Gently glide the device outward along the lower lash line, taking care not to tug or pull the skin.

4. Jawline

Place the larger curved edge of the NuFACE attachment flat against the center of your chin. Gently glide the device upward along your jawline, following the contour of your bone structure. Avoid treating the area too close to your ears, as this can cause discomfort.

5. Neck

Divide your neck into three sections: the front, the sides, and the back. For the front, place the larger curved edge of the NuFACE attachment flat against the center of your chin. Gently glide the device upward along the front of your neck, taking care to avoid your thyroid gland. For the sides, use the smaller spherical attachment and gently glide it along the sides of your neck, from your jawline to your collarbone. For the back, use the larger curved edge again and gently glide it down the back of your neck, from your hairline to your collarbone.

Neck (back)	Larger curved edge	Glide downward

Adjusting the Treatment Intensity

The NuFACE device offers five intensity levels, allowing you to customize your treatment based on your skin’s sensitivity and desired results. Here’s how to adjust the intensity:

Level 1: Gentle

This level is suitable for sensitive skin or beginners. It provides a gentle stimulation that promotes relaxation and helps to improve circulation.

Level 2: Moderate

This level is ideal for most skin types. It provides a moderate stimulation that tones and tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Level 3: Strong

This level is recommended for those looking for more intense stimulation. It helps to lift and contour the face, promoting a more youthful appearance.

Level 4: Extra Strong

This level is suitable for very resilient skin types. It delivers an intense stimulation that effectively tightens and sculpts the face, reducing sagging and jowls.

Level 5: Maximum

This level is not recommended for most skin types. It provides the strongest stimulation and should be used sparingly or only on specific areas that require additional attention.

It’s important to start with a low intensity level and gradually increase it as your skin tolerates it. If you experience any discomfort, reduce the intensity. You can also adjust the treatment intensity during each treatment session to target different areas of your face.

Intensity Level	Description
Level 1	Gentle stimulation for sensitive skin
Level 2	Moderate stimulation for most skin types
Level 3	Strong stimulation for lifting and contouring
Level 4	Extra strong stimulation for very resilient skin

NuFACE How To Use

NuFACE is a microcurrent device designed to improve the appearance of your skin. It works by sending gentle electrical pulses through the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. This can result in a more youthful appearance, with fewer wrinkles and fine lines.

To use NuFACE, first cleanse and dry your skin. Then, apply the NuFACE Gel Primer to your face and neck. This will help to conduct the electrical pulses. Next, attach the NuFACE device to the power cord and turn it on. Choose the desired intensity level and start gliding the device over your skin. Be sure to keep the device in contact with your skin at all times.

You can use NuFACE on your face, neck, and décolleté. It is important to use gentle, upward strokes when gliding the device over your skin. Do not press too hard, as this can cause irritation. Each treatment should take about 5-10 minutes.
