Hi, I'm thinking of buying something like the NuFace Mini www.currentbody.com/nuface-mini-facial-toner.html?fo_c=129&fo_k=2916af32cc126a81216b1f82f3d59d47&fo_s=shzluk but as I have never used one before I wondered if anyone had any advice/recommendations? Are they worth the money? TIA

I tried the Rio 60 second one, but it was a pain to use, in the way that it actually switched off after 60 seconds, and it was too much of a fiddle
The Nu face doesnt pull,
I have been looking on eby at the Trinty pro, but Current body say they are fakes, anyone got one of these, they say they are only to be used in Salons, but i cant believe that they are only the normal size and wouldnt be strong enough for salon use
I do have a Rio neck lift device which is quite strong, and i really got it for nothing as was sent a voucher so only had to put £6 towards it

Well my Rio packed up yesterday, clearly ‘a sign’ 😇 so I drunkenly ordered the mini last night! Fingers crossed it works. Thanks all for recommendations and thoughts.

Hi all, wanted to give you an update on what happened- I bought the NuFace mini but have had to return it. I found that I was getting some side effects from using it - headache, heart racing - so I decided to stop. I think that's rare but wanted to update.

I have contacted current body twice, re the settings on the mini and the trinity, and been told different both times,
First one said settings are the same, second one said no mini has 3 Trinity has 5,
Anyway still deciding, for some reason i dont like this mini cpmpared to the last one i had,so might return it, not seen any difference at all, and i sometimes think its worse,
The instruction are to use for 5 nights i think, but the person on their website is using it morning and night

The Rio Facial Toner is a fraction of the price as the Nuface and personally I think its better!

I have had 2 nu face minis, didn;t think the last one was doing any good, so got rid of that, but i have again ordered another, as my jowls look to have dropped a lot, so maybe it was keeping the droop at bay
I might have kept the Rio, but it seemed such a faff, keep having to switch it back on when it went off, also you had to keep ordering new pads to go with it
I cant wait for my new nu face mini to arrive now, and hopefully lift my jowls a bit,
I use Aloe Vera gel,its just as good and much cheaper
I have a Rio neck toner, but it seems to pull on the muscles and i feel a dragging sensation, so dont use it

Mumsnet sent an email with this, but it's not a recent thread, any more recent reviews? I don't like what's happening to my jawline either 😶

I am using a sensica sensilift at the moment on trial from QVC but although it says use once a week,i'm using it once a day, but can't see any difference yet, but early days
I have 60 days to keep or return
