Skincare is more than just creams and serums; it's also about the tools you use. Nu Skin offers several facial devices designed to improve skin quality. This article delves into two popular devices: the ageLOC LumiSpa and the Galvanic Spa, exploring their features, benefits, and user experiences.
ageLOC LumiSpa: A Deep Cleansing and Renewing Device
The ageLOC LumiSpa is a facial cleansing device designed to deeply renew and cleanse the skin, with the aim of improving its texture, softness, smoothness, clarity, and radiance. Consistent use of the LumiSpa cleansing device leads to clearer, brighter, younger-looking skin in just two weeks.
Usage and Benefits
Ideally, the LumiSpa should be used twice a day, morning and night. In the morning, it energizes the skin for a brighter, smoother complexion. It can be incorporated into your morning and nighttime routines, even if you’re a busy person. Moisten your face, apply a generous amount of cleanser, and let the LumiSpa device cleanse your face for two minutes.
Most customer reviews confirm immediate results, with the full effect becoming apparent after about two weeks.
What Makes the ageLOC LumiSpa Special?
The Nu Skin ageLOC LumiSpa device is dermatologist-tested and clinically proven to deliver results. The treatment heads are made from soft silicone for gentle care, and the device is programmed to work at the precise frequency for skin renewal. The water-resistant and rechargeable device also features silicone portions containing antimicrobial silver, making them more hygienic than brushes.

ageLOC Boost: Microcurrent Device
The ageLOC Boost is a microcurrent device featuring an exclusive microcurrent waveform with variable pulse technology to deliver visibly radiant, bouncy, and plump skin. It sends microcurrent pulses to the skin eight times per second. With the ageLOC Boost Activating Serum, the microcurrent optimizes the skin for a more glowing, firm, plumped, and even complexion.
Microcurrent boosts the production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), leading to stimulation of elastin and collagen, triggering tissue repair and natural skin enhancement at a cellular level.
Usage
The device is user-friendly. Swipe up once to start the device, dispense 3 pumps of ageLOC Boost Activating serum on the plate of the device, spread the product on half of the face using the device, then swipe up on the power space once again.
One full-face treatment needs 6 pumps of the ageLOC Boost Activated serum. Every microcurrent device needs a conductive treatment/serum. The Activating Treatment is a pure water-based formula.

Benefits
The plate makes it easy to use around the nose, eyes, and forehead. It brightens up the skin, and skin feels firm yet plumped from within after every use. The bright and plumped skin stays for the day.
With a microcurrent device, consistency is key.
Galvanic Spa: A Device for Smoothing and Tightening Skin
The Galvanic Spa is designed to smooth out skin and help tighten facial skin.
Technology
This device uses something called a galvanic current to pass a charge into the skin. This current is soft and direct, flowing in one direction. The device uses weak electric current to push charged serums into the skin. These devices work by sending tiny electric shocks called microcurrents into the skin. They aim to give the similar effects to a facelift by tightening and lifting the skin. These gentle waves pass through the skin’s layers all the way down to the muscles of the face. Microcurrent encourages the skin to produce more of these proteins. Muscles in the face are directly connected to the skin, unlike elsewhere in the body.
Usage
The device is simple to use. Place the device at a starting position of the area and glide it upwards and outwards, slowly and smoothly. Finally, move the device up slightly so that it glides over the cheekbone. For this you’ll need the ELE attachment. For instance, the Face Conductor should be used with Nu Skin’s facial gels. Each session takes 5 minutes.

You start with one session with the Pre-Treat Gel. After cleansing the skin, begin with the Pre-Treat Gel. Spread almost all of the gel across the face and place a pea sized amount of the gel on the back of your Galvanic Spa device. Next, press the button and select the appropriate setting for the product you are using. Then make contact with the skin. You will hear 3 beeps and then a beep every 10 seconds. Hold the device in place on areas where you have impurities or deeper lines. After using the Pre-Treat gel, you repeat the same steps with the Treatment gel. You will need to set the device to the 3rd setting before you do this.
The Pre-Treat Gel is designed to remove impurities and to prepare the skin for the second gel in the treatment. The Treatment Gel contains a blend of ingredients that are specifically designed to target the signs of aging.
Nu Skin vs. NuFACE
The NuFACE Trinity sends small microcurrents into the skin. These stimulate contractions of the facial muscles in order to tone and lift the face. The Nu Skin Galvanic Spa uses galvanic current technology to transport wrinkle reducing products deeper into the skin.
User Reviews and Experiences
User reviews provide insights into the effectiveness of Nu Skin facial devices. Some users report positive experiences, noting improvements in skin texture, reduction in acne scarring, and overall skin tightening. However, some users did not see noticeable differences.
Some reviews mentioned there were problems with the device at around the 5 month mark.
