Nu face and Botox and serums

6 replies

WithIcePlease · 29/11/2020 11:48

I'm getting a nu face for Christmas but I have Botox on 11's and eye corners and brow furrows
Can I just use nu face on other areas of my face? Would it counteract Botox?

Also I've read I can use a water based serum under the gel for nu face. How do I know which serums are water based? Many have first ingredient as aqua but then go on to say ingredients that may be lipids.

I have had a nu face,to be honest didn't think much of it, but i used Aloe Vera gel which worked fine,and was much cheaper than the gel you get with the nu face when you need to replace it
I would only use it where you don't have botox

I used NuFace. Not that impressed.

It’s died after 14 months and because I had one replaced that died after 16 months, they will not replace again. Personally, I think they’re expensive for what they are and clearly the “battery life” isn’t great. That’s two I’ve had which have “gone” before the 2yr warranty was up.

I’ve now bought a Foreo Bear to try. Too early to say if it’s effective.

I think as long as it’s several weeks after Botox they are fine to use in all areas. I’m interested in hearing from someone who has used for a long time to see what their review on results is.

I like mine. You have to use it consistently for a long period of time. Even then it’s only a slight improvement. I do notice if I don’t use it though.

You can use with Botox you just need to wait a few weeks. I think it’s good to keep the muscles stimulated as Botox can cause muscles to atrophy.

Nu face doesn't work. I'd reconsider personally.

I like my Nu Face but always did respond well to facials like CACI. Also, you do have to commit! I use mine over the top of one of those sheet masks that are serum-infused. You can also just use something like Aloe Vera gel (but you might need to wet it occasionally).
