Thanks for trying to get the lowdown; it sounds to me like they know it's over 500 microamps, but they don't want us to know.

The user manual says it is 15 milliamps per channel. That would equal 15,000 microamps per side.

ETA: The EGG's user manual, that is.

I have the Egg and am having a hard time about committing myself to using it.

I cannot stand using the gel. That is my number one issue. It's so time consuming to stop, put on gel, stop put on gel. Then clean it all off.

The gel was a BIG contributing factor to why I ditched my NuFace. And, they say don't use more frequently than once every 24 hours and that would just not fit in my schedule. The biggest factor was the time it was taking -- around 40 minutes as I was doing the advanced technique. I think I was seeing a pleasant difference, even though I didn't use it as often as recommended, but the time, the gel... I hated to return it but thought just because it works, it won't work for ME if I don't use it!

Tria came up with a gel-less laser, don't know if it's possible for a microcurrent to be gel-less.

I didn't realize that the NuFace had a crème primer. I can not use the gel primer because I get rashes. I am going to try this crème primer and start using my NuFace again. I have two of them, the classic and the new one. I will do both sides at the same time. LOL

Sounds like you, snow! hahaha Where will the Tria fit in? I would like to try the NuFace but I'm afraid if I don't use it every single day my face will return to normal.

[snowball]

HAHAHAHA Jud, you know me with my rashes!!!! I will use the NuFace in the morning and the Tria at night. Do you still use the EGG? Mine is sitting in the box.

[Judaline]

You should have sent it back! Yeah, I still use it. It ain't much, but it's all I got! Now I found out from reading here that it isn't even microcurrent. I don't believe a word Jennifer says so I don't know why I fell for this.

Thanks, jwabbit!! The CSR told me each level is + or - 15, so if I'm understanding your post correctly, even at the lowest level, it reduces our ATP, because that level is 3 times the max recommended (500 microamps). I can't imagine the damage that could occur at the higher levels.

It surprises me that SSC advertises the EGG as a micro-current system and gets away with comparing it to the NuFace.

[Judaline]

lyn, is the original nuface as good as the new one? The original is on sale. Sounds like I'd better toss my EGG.
