What PureLift Face is
PureLift Face is the most compact model in our range, small enough for a handbag and designed for daily home use.
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.
It is priced at $499, delivers up to 7 mA at 500 ohms and is FDA cleared under K190269. It is made in Japan in an ISO 13485 facility.
What owners say
Trying microcurrent after salon treatments
“At first, I didn't believe in microcurrent because I tried going to beauty salons with similar treatments and ended up wasting a lot of money, but after hearing my friends' experiences with PureLift Face I had to try it. Now, my skin is so smooth and my face hasn't felt this soft in a long time.”
Pamela Komen
Making it part of a daily routine
“PureLift Face instantly became part of my beauty routine. No more endless massages and skin creams with false promises.”
Brenda Navarre
Using it while traveling
“I travel a lot so I don't have time for long and expensive treatments, but with PureLift Face I don't have to worry about going anywhere, because it goes with me. Its built-in battery is a lifesaver.”
Linda Bylery
Sensitive skin
“Having sensitive skin I thought it might hurt, but the soothing gel and this microcurrent made the skin softer and clearer. Six months on, it still works like it did the first time.”
Casandra Borges
A morning and evening routine
“I use it in the morning and even at night. My skin is fresh, tight and soft.”
Robert Johnsson
What these reviews have in common
Convenience comes up again and again, since a session takes about ten minutes and the device travels easily.
Owners describe smoother, softer skin and a face that feels worked after a session.
Several mention sticking with it for months, which matters, because results depend on regular use.
What to expect
Many people see a short-lived lifted look right after a session. A lasting change usually shows after several weeks of four or five sessions a week.
A randomized controlled trial by Kavanagh and colleagues, published in 2012, measured the effect of facial electrical stimulation after twelve weeks of regular use. A week by week guide is in our week by week results article.
Individual results vary with age, starting point and how consistently you use it.
How to get the most from PureLift Face
Start on clean skin with a generous layer of water-based conductive serum.
Begin on level 1 or 2 and move up as you get comfortable, gliding upward and outward.
Keep to no more than three minutes per side. Technique is in our guide to using PureLift devices.
