Hey everyone! I finally took the plunge and tried out the NuFace Trinity for two months. I’ve been skeptical about this device since I started my skincare journey, but curiosity got the better of me. In this post, I’ll share my experience, how it works, and whether I think it’s worth your time and money.
What is the NuFace Trinity?
The NuFace Trinity is a microcurrent device that sends low-level electrical currents to the skin. The idea is to stimulate facial muscles, giving you a more toned and lifted appearance. This type of electrical treatment isn’t new; it’s similar to what’s used in TENS units for pain relief, which dates back to the 1970s. However, there’s little evidence to support its use for aesthetic enhancement.
Describtion
Clinically-Proven At-Home Treatment – The TRINITY+ microcurrent skin tightening device with Red Light Wrinkle Reducer and Effective Lip & Eye Attachment uses the clinically proven benefits of microcurrent technology to provide a low-level electrical current, sending soft, gentle waves through the skin and down to the facial muscles. This customizable treatment tones, lifts & tightens for instant & long-term results anytime, anywhere.
How to use,
PREP: Cleanse with an oil-free cleanser or Prep-N-Glow® Towelettes. Lightly mist Supercharged IonPlex® Facial Mist on skin to hydrate and prep skin for your microcurrent treatment. Shake well before use.
BOOST: Apply 3-5 drops of your favorite Ionized Super Booster serum onto fingertips and massage into skin until fully absorbed.
ACTIVATE & LIFT: Using your Clean Sweep Brush, apply a mask-like layer of Microcurrent Activator in sections as you lift. Use your NuFACE® Microcurrent Device to perform glides and holds. Mist Supercharged IonPlex® Facial Mist over your activator for a surge of moisture, if desired.
FINISH: Apply eye cream, moisturizer, and SPF. Mist on Supercharged Ionplex® Facial Mist throughout the day for a refreshing burst of moisture.

How Does It Work?
NuFace claims that the device stimulates muscles under the skin, increases circulation, and boosts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) levels in cells, which theoretically helps with collagen production and skin rejuvenation. However, there are no clinical studies backing these claims. They also state that 80% of users see an improvement in facial contour, but again, this is based on their own studies without independent verification.
One of the reasons I’ve been skeptical is that the aging process involves more than just muscle atrophy. Most volume loss is due to fat redistribution and changes in bone structure, not just muscle changes.
My NuFace Routine
For the past two months, I’ve used the NuFace Trinity once a day, typically in the mornings. I find it easier to incorporate into my routine then. The device must be used with a gel primer, which they claim enhances conductivity. I’ve experimented with other gels, like hyaluronic acid, and found that they worked just fine too.
How I Use the NuFace Trinity
The routine is quite simple and takes about five minutes. I apply the gel primer generously to my neck, jawline, mid-face, and forehead, then glide the device over these areas in three passes. The device beeps to guide you on when to move to the next area. It’s initially a bit tricky to find the right pace, but you get the hang of it quickly.
I found the experience relaxing and enjoyable, almost like a mini facial! After using it, I noticed immediate changes, especially in the definition of my cheekbones and a slight tightening under my eyes.

Results After Two Months
Now, let’s talk results. Initially, I was surprised by the immediate effects. I noticed more definition in my cheekbones and reduced under-eye puffiness right after using the device. However, the following morning, my face looked the same as it did before the treatment. So, while the results were noticeable immediately, they were not long-lasting.
To maintain these results, NuFace recommends using the device five days a week for the first 60 days, then reducing it to two to three times a week afterward. I’ve been consistent, but honestly, after two months, I don’t see any significant long-term changes in my appearance. The biggest benefits seem to come right after use, mostly in terms of reducing morning puffiness and improving facial contour.
Is NuFace Trinity Worth It?
So, is it worth the investment? My experience leads me to believe that while the NuFace Trinity does provide some immediate benefits, the long-term results are quite subtle. For someone looking for a quick fix before an event, it might be beneficial, but for sustained improvements, you need to commit to regular use.
In terms of cost, it’s certainly an investment. If you’re looking for a tool to enhance your skincare routine, it might be worth trying out. However, if you’re expecting dramatic, permanent results, you may be disappointed.

Possible Side Effects
As with any skincare device, there are potential side effects. I experienced no adverse reactions, but it’s essential to be cautious. If you have certain medical conditions or are pregnant, you should avoid using the device. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you’re unsure.
Who Should Avoid the NuFace Trinity?
The NuFace Trinity is not recommended for individuals with active skin conditions, those who are pregnant, or anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices. If you have any concerns, it’s best to check with your doctor before starting.
Conclusion:
Overall, my experience with the NuFace Trinity has been interesting. While it does give a temporary lift and helps with puffiness, the long-term effects are quite subtle. If you enjoy skincare tools and are willing to commit to regular use, it might be a nice addition to your routine. However, if you’re looking for dramatic, lasting changes, this device may not meet your expectations. At the end of the day, it all depends on your goals and budget. If you’re curious, it could be worth a try, but make sure to manage your expectations.
