Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'm posting this to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I purchased the Nuface PRO from the (amazing) medspa I go to. The PRO has a stronger microcurrent than the regular which you can purchase online (the PRO can only be purchased through verified medical practices/medspas/plastic surgeons).
I will say that it DOES WORK. My face was toned, firm, and lifted. I actually really liked the way it made my face look.
But the side effects were HORRENDOUS. And I haven't run into anyone who's experienced the same and it's been so frustrating for me.
I used for one month, and could not use more than 4 days in a row due to intense head pressure, numbness/tingling on my scalp, down my neck, and in my teeth, MAJOR teeth sensitivity, and shooting pains through my head. Not like a regular headache, but rather shooting sensations. It was extremely scary. And these side effects would last for days after I stopped usage.
I started researching microcurrent facials and apparently what this is is lymphatic drainage. And that type of drainage is a detox, which can incur detox symptoms. I'm hoping that is what these side effects were due to, and therefore I started guzzling water and that seemed to alleviate the intensity of the side effects. I never drank water after I used the device, and I think that was one of my problems.
Needless to say I had to stop using completely because of how scary it was for me. Just wondering if anyone else had the same or similar experience? I am super frustrated because I don't think I can return, AND I was loving the results. :/
