Bought a $200 microcurrent device for home use and it actually works better than I expected

Honestly, the biggest win for me is the muscle memory. It trains your face to hold itself differently even when the device is off.

My friend dropped $400 on a NuFace and returned it after two weeks saying it felt like she was zapping her face with a weak battery. For $200 you could get a really good facial massage roller that actually moves your lymph fluid around and doesn't cost a fortune to replace the conductive gel every month. I have a coworker who swore by her microcurrent device for six months and then her jawline started looking exactly the same as before she started, she just got used to the temporary puffiness reduction. The whole "muscle memory" thing sounds like marketing talk to me, your face muscles don't learn to hold themselves differently from a little current, they just relax back to normal after a few hours. If you want real results that last you're better off putting that money toward a couple professional microcurrent treatments where someone trained knows how to actually target the muscles instead of guessing with a home gadget.

That's a serious chunk of change for a home gadget. What kind of results are you seeing? Like, is it lifting your jawline or smoothing out forehead lines? My sister tried one and said it just made her face feel weird.
