MiShell5, I use the Nutritone with serum first, then use the Lightstim right after. Love the results. The "lift" is a definite lift. It does take a while to do all of that. That's why I don't use it more than twice a week, even though I know I would like the results if I did it more. You aren't supposed to use the Nutritone every day. They tell you to skip a day.

Well, I could definitely use the lift. That is the issue at 60 for me. So you use them together..OK...sounds like a plan. Thanks for telling me that about the Nutritone. I didn't know that.

Thanks Maren ............ I will look up DPL. Also on Nuface versus Nutritone ........... I personally think the NuFace is probably a better machine and basically bought the Nutritone when it went on a crazy low price one day. I have been tempted to buy NuFace many times but then worry that I won't use it.

If I can get my act together with Lightstim and stick with it then maybe I will decide that I can invest in the NuFace. Do you have to use gels when using NuFace? That does get annoying with Nutritone.

Thanks

Yes, you have to use the gel which is what makes me hate using it. The first time I tried it I had gel in my hair, on the counter, on the device -- it was a mess! BellaCarro BRILLIANTLY suggested watering down the gel and putting it in a spray bottle. It works great, but at the end I still have the gel on my face I have to remove. Poor Maren. :-)

Don't know if I actually need a gel for conductivity -- LoveMyBoxer (apologies if I got her username wrong) uses an aloe toner from Mario Badescu that she says works fine. I wonder if just any or liquid would work, or if we need something to conduct the charge (or whatever it is it's doing). I should email NuFace.

Another thing that bugs me about the NF is that on one hand they tell you to use it at least five times a week (at least to begin), but to wait 24 hours between treatments. Sometimes I don't have the time to slot it in that doesn't violate the 24 moratorium, and it throws everything off. I'll have to ask about that, too. :-)

Maren ............ I do know with Nutritone that a gel based product is not necessary as Manuela sells it in a kit now with 4 different serums. I believe soon after I got mine that she said other serums in the Isomers line would also work and I don't know of any that are gel based. I had spaced that out as I just remember using the gel that came with it.

I believe what is important is that some serum or gel is used for conductivity but gel based aren't the only ones that meet that criteria. I didn't actually remember about this until yesterday when I thought about the configuration that Nutritone is now sold in.

I would assume the same would hold true for NuFace since they operate on the same principle but can't hurt to inquire either. Post back what they respond if you wouldn't mind.
