Micro current devices- I have a foreo bear- is there something better?

I find I am not seeing the results I had hoped for with the bear. I admit to periods of non use but even when I use it regularly I wouldn’t say I can see a change much.
I am 57 and would like to just lift things up a bit! Sally Hughes mentioned one she has- I can’t remember what it is but she loves it and says he wouldn’t be without
Thoughts from people who have different devices would be great 🙂

I think if you want to level up from a Foreo bear the more drastic thing would be to get monthly CACI facials and then the bear will help maintain those results to an extent.

I've heard mixed things about the Ziip, Nuface seems to be on par with Foreo more or less. I've forgotten the name of the semi professional device which has prongs and different level settings and is basically CACI facials at home but I think it's only available in the US, or difficult to get elsewhere anyhow. I think the results of CACI facials are also largely down to the practitioner and knowing how to use the different settings so I'm not sure how great those home results would be if you're DIYing it.

Thanks @botemp . I think it was the zip that Sami Hughes mentioned. Maybe I should do a slightly longer routine with the bear and be overall more consistent. It would help for sure. Not looking to spend money on salon treatments- wish I could afford that!

Myolift was the name that was escaping me and it looks like they're moving into the UK. I see a few sellers stocking it and Currnetbody seem to have a landing page but no products as of yet. Tbh, it still looks like more faff than I'm willing to put up with but you might think differently about that.

Ziip definitely had a run of defective devices last year, and I have to say when I held one in my hands it felt kind of cheap/flimsy so that probably contributed to the mixed reviews. The difference with the bear was mostly the nanowaves which just targets upper skin health and I've never been convinced that does more than tret does, but that's just me speculating.

Have you tried hooking up your bear to the app recently? There's extra settings and programs now. I think one is called PRO setting that makes it much more powerful, it's a bit too much for some people though.

No I haven’t- I gave up on the app almost straight away . I will download it again/ thanks for the advice!
