I think I'd like the EGG... just seems as though toning the muscles is a good idea, but with my sensitivity, the Nutritone might be the way to go. I can't swing 2 at the moment, although I wish I could! wackers, thanks also for the great info on the Nutritone. Very helpful and much appreciated! LOL, I'm happy to share info. I was interested in the EGG when it was a recent special value at HSN but I had purchased the Facemaster and I was still experimenting. I think there is value in ... Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1370734461.77 Barbara, I did not hear the bit about the new serum replacing ARS! Good to know and a good idea to do a ARS series soon. guatmum, I also like Skinn creams in the winter time. fanb, Isomers is the basis of my skincare but I do use several Skinn products. The Skinn Dermapeel is effective without upsetting my very sensitive skin and I need the 'sealing' qualities of the Skinn creams in the winter time -- they seal in my Isomers serums and creams without causing me to break out. I'm not being argumentative -- just relating my experience Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1370723151.79 On 6/8/2013 Barbara in Virginia said: I have used Isomers since Manuela first brought her products to what was then ValueVision. I always get compliments on my skin, even from women half my age. I rotate the products, which is what works well for me. I have a great deal of confidence in the Isomers products. I have been wanting something for my neck and decolette so just bought this kit. IMO it is a mistake to expect really DRAMATIC differences with a product. I do notice a difference with my Isomers products, especially when I jump start a particular treatment as I cycle in and out. In my ex... Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1370722939.47 I have 2 of the "old" nutritones and I ordered 2 of the "new" nutritones. I have used Nutritone since it was first offered and I believe it helps -- I especially like using it around my eyes to prevent hooding (both parents had surgery in their early 50's but my eyelids remaining firmly in place). I do not have the EGG but I do have the Facemaster. I use these devices for different purposes. Isomers Nutritone and NuFace devices both have microcurrents in the 0 - 500 microamps range (you might feel a 'tingle' at 500 or if you have any dental implants near where you place the probes) for AT... Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1370716013.227 For clarity: Microcurrent: 0 - 8000 microamps (or 0 - 8 milliamps). ATP production occurs in the 20 - 500 microamps range (or 0.02 - 0.5 milliamps) -- this is the range that rejuvenates soft tissue Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): 8,000 - 20,000 microamps (8 - 20 milliamps). EMS is used for muscle contractions (think of resistance training) Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): 20,000 - 80,000 microamps (20 - 80 milliamps) stimulates the nerves at the higher amperage (blocks pain) and contracts muscles at the lower amperage. Used in many pain therapies. Last edited on 6/8/...

Do you know if the ones mentioned (FM, NuFace and EGG) are above the 500 amps you referred to?? Manuela mentioned this morning that some machines provide too strong a contraction , rendering the treatments harmful long term vs the Nutritone?....I have ALL of em (talk about a junkie!) Thanks, Ambersmom Ambersmom, I believe only NuFace has publicly revealed their technical specs. NuFace ranges from 0 - 500 microamps (in the ATP production range) -- and I did confirm by cal... Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1370707586.337 Ambersmom, I have and use various microcurrent, EMS, and TENS machines for different purposes. The study of frequency-specific therapies has evolved since the early 1900's and there are studies that show specific frequencies are effective for different treatments. For instance, TENS devices deliver milliamp currents and block pain messages. I use a TENS unit for back pain and on the few occasions when I've injured a muscle. Electronic Muscle Stimulator (EMS) devices deliver milliamp currents similar to TENS devices but each company/device may have different strengths and pulses. I use EM...

The new microchip modulates the current -- a more shallow, dispersed current wave for the eyes, a longer stronger current wave for the jawline (all under 500 micro amps -- ATP production increases as long as the microcurrent is under 500 micro amps. ATP production starts declining when the current goes above 1,000 micro amps). If you already have the nutritone, I'm not sure that the new nutritone is so different that it warrants a purchase BUT I'm a skin gadget girl so I want to check the difference by using the "old" one on one side and the "new" o... Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1370702913.41 I use it with different serums -- from Isomers, Skinn, and I've even used it with a couple of L'Oreal serums. Others have used it with aloe vera. I have a little spray bottle of water to keep my face damp if I'm using the nutritone for longer periods (serums dry fairly quickly). I have 2 nutritones that i use at the same time so my microcurrent treatment runs about 9 minutes (9 sites on my face, 1 minute per site). I've ordered the new nutritones -- it is a nice little machine and my eyelids are lifted (hooded lids run on both sides of my family). HTH Last edited on 6/8/2013 Continue Reading
