Here's an illustration of the frontal neck and shows the reasons for my concerns. You can c/p into your browser, or if you want to do some research, just Google neck anatomy and/or Temporal artery and click on images, which is on the top left of page. Hth

Re: Nuface users please help

I just used aloe gel -- and Bella Carro had a great suggestion (which I followed) to water it down a tad and put it in a spritzer bottle. It worked great and not as messy as the straight gel, IMO. I returned mine, but dontcha know I'm thinking I was wrong to do so, so may be re-ordering and if I do, I'm going the aloe route. :-)

Not sure if this is question is for me? But I saw some of the temporary lift that you see in the demos, right away. The muscles will take some time to develop and depends on how fast your individual muscles respond to the stimulation.

For me, it took about 2 weeks of daily use until I saw a difference. I needed to work on my right side more than my left because I had a noticeable droop there. It's been a few years now that I've been using them, so I can't remember how long it took for my face to become symmetrical, but I remember measuring my progress with a mm gage and almost did a cartwheel when it measured 4mm. It's just gotten better from there.

Consistency is key, especially in the beginning and just like any exercise you need to continue it to keep what you've worked for.

I especially like to use my FaceMaster around my eyes because I get puffiness from allergies and really helps with that, the lift is nice, too!

Re: Nuface users please help

At the end of October I turned 70 years old, at the beginning of November I started using Nu Face, as of this date it is now over 2 months. Before I started using the Nu Face I looked at every web site there is in order for me to use it correctly. Most sites I found said not to use on the middle of the neck, just along the jaw line. Using just along the jaw line I have noticed a difference in the neck area, not looking like I did at 25 but did not get the jowls over night either.

I started out with the lower setting, gradual increased the setting, in order for my skin to get use to the Nu Face. What I have noticed: the texture of my skin has greatly improved; the lines around my eyes are diminishing; my face looks more "lifted"; my skin is firmer; my jowls have decreased which is creating less of the "turkey neck" because the skin is tightening. I will continue to use it because I do notice a difference in my skin and how I look.

Re: Nuface users please help

I have the Nuface and have used it for about 2 1/2 months now. You have to use a lot of gel and only on a portion of your face at a time, that way it doesn't dry out. I've used up the two tubes that came with mine, so I bought Aloe Vera Gel at the supermarket and it works very well, but you have to use a lot so you don't feel the micro-current.

As far as the neck... I would NOT use it on the neck as I think it's too close to the Thyroid Gland which sits approximately at the base of the neck. I've always felt that the micro currents would disrupt it in some way. Every video and demo I've seen (and the instructions) say not to use it on the neck but only as far as the jaw line.

I started off on the lowest setting and have gradually worked up to the highest setting.

Does it work! YES! But it is subtle. My 11's have virtually gone away when my face is at rest. My eyes look more open but mostly my face has more contour along the cheek bones, they look fuller and a bit lifted. My jaw line is firmer and with it my neck has lifted a little bit. These changes are not miraculous, but have been enough to have people I know just tell me "You look good today"... and I'll take it~! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}
