Dr. Andrew Conrad Barile is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the CEO and Founder of Xtreem Pulse LLC, the engineering company behind PureLift. He earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Daemen College and is a licensed physical therapist.
He brings over two decades of clinical and entrepreneurial experience across physical therapy, craniosacral therapy and medical device innovation, built on a working knowledge of human anatomy and muscle physiology.
For PureLift LAB he reviews how current is delivered across all ten levels, from sub-sensory nanocurrent and skin-level microcurrent to motor-level EMS, and how the Infuse pass fits into the same ten-minute routine.

The MyoLift Mini is a well-regarded microcurrent device sold on muscle-toning language that 7E's own FAQ says its current cannot produce.
This article compares the two on what decides the result you actually see, such as:
- 400 microamps with no load stated, against 7 mA at 500 ohms
- what 7E says about contraction in its own FAQ
- which clearance actually covers the Mini
- the gel range and what it costs to run
- where the Mini is genuinely the better purchase
and many more!
7E builds serious equipment, and the gap here is between its engineering and its marketing copy.
Key Points:
The MyoLift Mini is $329 and ships with a 4 oz ReStore gel, lead wire, charger and probes.
7E publishes up to 400 microamps for the Mini and states no load anywhere, on its site or in any FDA filing.
7E's own FAQ says true microcurrent is sub-sensory and cannot cause a physical or visual manipulation of the muscle.
No 510(k) names the MyoLift Mini; the only 7E-family clearance publishing electrical figures is K213078 for the MyoLift QT, at 350 microamps at 500 ohms.
PureLift Face is $499, publishes 7 mA at 500 ohms with a 4 microsecond pulse width, and is cleared under K190269.
What the Mini is
A two-probe microcurrent device with two waveform programmes, Educate and Erase, two levels within each, a digital timer and an app with curated sessions.
7E recommends sessions of about fifteen to thirty minutes depending on the area, two to three times a week, with visible change after four to six weeks.
The site gives three different usage protocols across three pages, which is worth knowing before you plan a routine.
7E has been in this category for over a decade and its professional machines are used in treatment rooms, so the engineering pedigree is real.
The output figure
Up to 400 microamps is the published ceiling, and no load is given, which makes it impossible to compare directly with a figure quoted at a stated resistance.
That matters more than usual here, because the only 7E device with load-referenced figures, the QT, publishes 350 microamps at 500 ohms, lower than the Mini's headline number.
Whether the Mini's 400 microamps is measured at 500 ohms, at short circuit or open circuit is not disclosed, so the two figures cannot be lined up.
Frequency and waveform are not published for the Mini either; the site offers dual wavelength technology, which is a phrase rather than a figure.
What 7E says about contraction
Answering a customer asking why they feel nothing, 7E's FAQ states that true microcurrent uses less than 1000 microamperes and, because of its low intensity, is typically sub-sensory and cannot cause a physical or visual manipulation of the muscle.
The Mini's own page says it tones and lifts facial muscles and helps lift the jawline, cheeks and eyebrows.
Both statements come from the same company, and they describe different mechanisms.
The reconciliation is that microcurrent works at skin level through cellular effects, which is a real thing, and that muscle toning language borrowed from resistance training does not describe what a sub-sensory current does.
The clearance position
We searched the 510(k) database by device name, by applicant and by every spelling we could think of, and no clearance names the MyoLift Mini.
The Mini appears in FDA's registration and listing database as a proprietary name under the aesthetic stimulator code, with a listing dating to 2012.
That is legal, because a clearance covers a device and proprietary names are added by listing rather than by clearance.
The practical consequence for a buyer is that no public FDA document states the Mini's current, its load, its frequency or its waveform, so there is nowhere to look it up.
The running cost
Gel is required unless you use the conductive masks or gloves, and ReStore runs $14 for 2 oz, $27 for 4 oz and $75 for 16 oz, with other formulas alongside.
Gels are non-returnable, which is worth knowing before you buy the bundle.
PureLift works with any water-based serum you already own, so the ongoing cost is whatever you choose it to be.
Which one to buy
Buy the MyoLift Mini if you specifically want sub-sensory microcurrent, if you like the app and the structured programmes, and if the treatment-room pedigree matters to you.
Buy PureLift Face if you want the microcurrent band and the muscle band in one device, with the output published at a stated load and a clearance number naming the device you are buying.
Face gives you nanocurrent at level 1 and microcurrent at level 2, the band the Mini occupies, then eight levels above it where the muscle actually contracts, plus the Infuse pass afterwards.
