What's This About:

Choose PureLift Face for a compact entry point, Pro for a larger handle, Pro Edition or Pro Plus for more output, and GLOW if you also want red and blue light, since every model runs nanocurrent, microcurrent and EMS on the same dial.

This guide helps you choose, such as:

- what every model has in common

- how the models differ

- prices and FDA clearances

- who each model suits

- how to decide

and many more!

We make PureLift, so this page sticks to published specifications for each model.

Key Points:

Every PureLift model runs nanocurrent, microcurrent and EMS on one ten level dial, plus an Infuse pass.

Output rises from up to 7 mA at 500 ohms on Face and Pro to up to 9 mA on Pro Plus and GLOW.

GLOW adds red light at 634 nm and blue light at 465 nm.

Every model is FDA cleared, made in Japan in an ISO 13485 facility and works with any water-based conductive serum.

More output is not automatically better, so choose by how you will use the device.

What every model has in common

Every PureLift model runs nanocurrent at level 1, microcurrent at level 2 and EMS from level 3 to 10 on one dial, plus an Infuse pass, with a ten minute session and no more than three minutes per side of the face, and works with any water-based conductive serum.

Every model is FDA cleared and made in Japan in an ISO 13485 facility.

Which model suits you

PureLift Face

For first-time users and travelers who want the smallest device.

PureLift Pro

For daily home users who prefer a larger, easier to hold body. See PureLift Face vs Pro.

PureLift Pro Edition

For users who want a little more output on the Pro body.

PureLift Pro Plus

For experienced users and professionals who want our strongest output.

PureLift GLOW

Does more output mean better results

No. Once the current reaches the muscle, comfort and consistency matter more. See our article on output.

How to decide

Pick by size, budget and whether you want light therapy.

If unsure, start with Face or Pro. Owner reviews are in PureLift Face reviews and PureLift Pro reviews.

How we compare with other brands is in our best microcurrent device for face article.

Do not use any facial current device if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, if you are pregnant or if you have epilepsy, and skip broken or irritated skin. The full list is in our safety article.
