Thanks for sharing. Never thought about using it on my face or neck. (I bought one a year or two ago to use on my head to try to combat hair thinning, but returned it because it tangled my hair and I couldn’t afford to lose any more hair! I have curly hair. Can’t say if it would do this to someone with different type of hair.)

I’ve been looking at these. Does it not tangle up your hair?

Thanks OP, I've started to suffer from TMJ which is a result of a neck and shoulder injury so this checks boxes I wasn't even considering when I started looking for a scalp massager

Can someone help me understand why my posts are always sent for moderator approval despite following all the rules?

Your hand is the best massager

LED mask (either from Omnilux or CurrentBody) as these have studies to prove the effectiveness. Omnilux is a lot softer, more pliable and lighter to wear Vs CurrentBody which is a bit heavier and rigid.

Also Magnitone FaceRocket which is EMS, Radiofrequency, Cryotherapy and LED all in one. Obsessed with the EMS and RF functions. I also bought one for my mum - she swears by it and giftrd one for her friend who had some sagging due to nerve damage around her eye. It has helped her tone that side of the face to make the drooping less obvious.

All of the above but right now I’m obsessed with my Theraface depuffing wand. I have pretty much everything there is but this is my GOAT.

I love face rollers and Gua sha. I have an ice face roller I love to do in the mornings, especially in the summer. The Gua sha is a great drainage tool that has even helped with sinus pressure.

Fantastic! Can you share which one or a link? Def will try. Glad you got relief!

Hello. I have trigeminal neuragia and developed tmj from the procedures I obtained. I will say when I go for acupuncture, the practitioner uses red light...it definitely helps.

Oh wow. Have you noticed an improvement in your skin too?

That’s crazy! I def need to look into this!

Thanks sm for sharing this! I’ve been using the Hooga hg24 red lightbulb and it’s a good deal at $40 but sometimes it’s annoying to hold up to my face. Def rec for someone looking for a cheaper option as you can use on neck and shoulders etc.

Some of the comments are gold

It's actually probably too powerful to safely use on your undercarriage. Could cause nerve damage. But hey, go for it. Lol.

I got one the other day, "CAPOT Vibrating Massage Ball Portable Handheld Electric Massage Ball with 10 Vibrating Modes, Rechargeable IPX6 Waterproof for Pelvic Floor Muscle Massage at Home or Traveling". It literally says "pelvic floor" right in the title, it's not even pretending. But the weird thing is it looks WAY more like it's actually a baby toy, and the way it's shaped is... odd for it to be for that kind of massage.

I know usually ones like yours, OP, are pretty obvious they're vibrators disguised as regular massagers, but the one I ordered I'm not sure who is actually supposed to use it because it's just shaped so weird. Maybe it's just for... people with bigger hands.

I saw that one! Also it has a $0 tax value!

This doesn't look like a good 'facial massager' or anything else for that matter. I got a 'sore muscle massager' that won't help sore muscles unless we're talking about one really specific 'muscle' but it's better than this freakin thing for that purpose. That hard plastic torture device end with the artificial red light is odd. I like all the people who pretended not to know what they were ordering. Like sure Joanne, you had no idea this was a vibrator 🙄

Ive done it for years for a jaw issue and for some assymetry formed during chemo. Facial massages that work for depuffing work, simply by draining your sinuses and lymph nodes. Massages that target face fat do not work. Instead, find face massages that target muscles. You want to work the muscles in your face and neck and shoulders. It will take months and years to see physical changes but it does work so long as you keep at it.

I have done massage on jaw area by vibrating jade roller, it worked good. But I couldn’t keep up for more than 3months, it was too much of work😂 On other face part I immediately got pimples because massage from hard stones seems abrasive

It's just for relaxation . No difference it will make to obtain chiseled shape jaw or tightening of face. As face muscle are thin it can sometime damage our facial tissue so just go light on massage

I have a skin if I do massaging or put pressure on my face,I get pimples.

Face massage is great for lymphatic drainage but don’t expect it to give you chiseled jaw and cheekbones - that depends on your genetics and the amount of buccal fat present.

Sometime I feel like there are some who don’t need skin care and there are some like me jinko hawa ka jhonka bhi pimple de deta hai

Ah, yes... this should pair perfectly with my Foreo.

sigh If only penises came in rose gold

It's a secks thing sweaty

My boyfie has the best face massager

Yes it does.for me it does like magic. I started 1 years ago and it helped me in face thinning and be in proper shape.

Work for what?

Yes they do but you have to be consistent

The microcurrent devices really do lift your face- I have a few now, but my favourite combines infra-red light, rf and electrical muscle stimulation. You just apply your serum, or basic contact gel, and then run it over your face slowly. The eyebrows I find lift really well- you can absolutely see the difference when you’ve treated one side of the face to the other.

The other gadget that I like but don’t use enough, is the Rio 60 second facelift. As we age, the muscles in the face get lazy, as they do anywhere else in the body. Again, it’s EMS, but it really gives your face a good workout and wakes everything up.

The device that I linked to, I’d say it’s gentler than the Rio facelift device, so yes- it gives your face a bit of a boost in the morning, stimulates the circulation and energises the skin- but it’s more like a maintenance device that you’d use on a regular basis. It’s hard to quantify really, but I think there are videos on YouTube of people who’ve used similar devices over time to illustrate their ‘before’ and ‘after’.

The Rio 60-second facelift is more intense, and I’d say that leads to more permanent improvement because you’re strengthening and building up the facial muscles with every use. You can really feel it in terms of toning the neck muscles, and lifting the cheeks etc. It’s just more cumbersome to use, IMO. It’s 60 seconds per area- so for faradic toning of the complete face, you’re looking at: 2x forehead & brow; 2x under eye; 2x cheeks; 2x nasolabial; 1x upper lip; 1x lower lip; 2x chin; 3x neck; 2x behind ear. About half an hour, all in all. If you look at the reviews on Amazon, I seem to remember there were some impressive before/after pics. It does work- but sometimes it’s hard to fit everything in, or you just can’t be bothered!

How long / often do you use it and how many months have you been using it? I ask because I have one and sadly haven’t seen any results...yet. Wondering if I should ramp up usages

Anything water-based that will conduct electricity should do it. If I’m purely focused on doing a facial, I’ll use a collagen gel. But otherwise I’ll just do my routine, apply my serum and use that as a base. I alternate between a lot of different products at the moment, so there’s no hard or fast rules- as long as it provides slip and conducts the current, it works!

Gua sha!

Does anyone know if you can use this if tret is part of your routine?

This totally depends. Sometimes I use it everyday sometimes twice a week. In the beginning it’s best to use it everyday for 8 weeks. I always do 20-30min. Depends on how much time and patience I have that day 😂 You can apply your normal skincare products except sunscreen. Apparently sunscreen also blocks led rays…didn’t know that either 😂

Can you drop a link? I've been curious about red light therapy but I'm on a budget.

My own body + gravity: massaging my head upside down 7 days a month and having all that blood flow to the face has done more for my complexion than most creams tbh

Thanks to you I am over $400 poorer but can't wait for my Omnilux!! I heard people RAVE about light therapy but the thought of having to drive to a clinic or whatever 2 or 3 times a week for a couple of months really turned me off.

Absolutely love my LED red light face mask! It has been the only thing to keep my hormonal acne at bay.

Got it for Christmas and have been using it for 20 mins at a time 4-5 days per week ever since.
