The NuFACE Mini is a slightly smaller (and more affordable) redesign of the buzzy microcurrent device NuFACE Trinity. Both have been described as the “5-minute facelift.”  I had the exciting opportunity to test and feature the NuFACE Mini. NuFACE treatment is quick and easy—just five minutes (unless you prefer an advanced technique that can take slightly longer).  NuFACE provides several helpful, foolproof video tutorials that guide the novice through basic or advanced treatments, which enabled me to feel like I knew what I was doing from the very first go. You might expect microcurrent to feel like a mini-electrocution, but with a generous application of the NewFACE Gel Primer, the sensation is quite tolerable, even on the maximum level.  Note: NuFACE treatment was uncomfortable when I did not apply the Gel Primer generously and/or when my face started to dry during the treatment.

In terms of results, the NuFACE provides a pinch of instant gratification and more rewarding long-term results (if you continue treatment daily). I noticed a very slight visible improvement in my marionette lines and the sag under the corners of my mouth within the first treatment, and my results gradually improved with continued use.  At no point did I feel like I had received the equivalent of a facelift, but facial sagging markedly minimized with consistent treatments.
