10 Microcurrent Devices That Give You a Snatched Jawline in Minutes (2024)

This microcurrent device won’t take up precious space in your carry-on or bathroom shelf, making it a fan favorite. “This is an easy-to-use wand that is portable and has [a] red light, which has additional anti-inflammatory properties,” says Dr. Lal. When in use, the SolaWave device also becomes warm, which gives the skin an extra warming effect. This device helps soothe breakouts, reduce puffiness, and promote an even skin tone.

What’s Included: Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Wand

How to use: Apply conducive serum, glide device across skin upward and outward

Treatment time: At least 5 minutes

Amazon rating: 4/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “What’s not to love? The device is small enough to travel seamlessly and the shape allows you to get within the curvatures of the face. Plus, it takes 12 minutes to treat your face and is a great way to help your products seep in while providing slip. The accompanying Jelly Mist provides great slip and also doubles as a nice hydrating mix.” — Danielle James, beauty expert

Which one do dermatologists love? “The Trinity Facial Toning Device by NuFace,” says dermatologist Dr. Karan Lal. “This is the most widely used device. Patients love its ease of use. It’s affordable and fits in travel bags!” The Trinity device just got an upgrade with Trinity+, which features a sleeker design and magnetic attachments and is now water-resistant. This set also comes with a gel to help the device easily glide on the skin, an anti-aging cream to maximize results, and a brush to apply the products mess-free.

What’s included: Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Device with Facial Trainer Attachment, Aqua Gel Activator 1.69 Oz, Silk Crème Activator 0.5 Oz, Clean Sweep Applicator Brush, Wireless Charging Cradle & Power Adapter, User Manual & Quick Start Guide

How to use: Apply activator serum, hold and glide device along contours of the face in areas where lifting is desired

Treatment time: 5–15 minutes

NuFACE rating: 4.3/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “After seeing dramatic before and after videos on TikTok, I was desperate to try this device. I didn’t necessarily have high hopes, though—disillusioned by one too many products that claimed to be quick fixes, I decided to go in with low expectations. However, once I began using it, I discovered that although my results weren’t as jaw-dropping, there definitely was some visible lifting and toning. Although I’m not as consistent with it as I’d like to be, I look forward to seeing how this tool helps keep everything nice and taut through the years.” —Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer

Think of facial toning as a workout for your skin. This device is the Barry’s Bootcamp of the skin care device world, allowing you to sculpt your face and reduce signs of aging. “This is the second most popular device amongst my patients,” says Dr. Lal. “It has five intensities. It also has an anti-shock system, so it works with your skin.” The anti-shock system allows you to have a comfortable experience, with minimal tingling or zapping that can occur with other devices.

What’s Included: Foreo Microcurrent Device, Charger

How to use: Apply conducive gel, glide device across the skin where lifting and sculpting is desired

Treatment time: 3 minutes

Amazon rating: 4.2/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I’ve been using this device twice a day for the last couple months (may have skipped a few times but been consistent), and I have definitely seen results in the lift of my skin. I focus around my mouth and eye areas. The results are noticeable to me as well as my family members.”

If you’re a beauty obsessive, you may have accumulated a wide array of high-tech tools that spend more time in a drawer than on your face. This tool by TheraBody combines them all. By swapping out attachments, this tool becomes a microcurrent device, an LED therapy tool–which includes red, blue, and infrared therapy–a massager, and a cleansing tool. For an additional $99, you can also buy cooling and heating attachments for thermal therapy.

What’s Included: 8 Percussive Therapy Attachments, Hot & Cold rings, LED light, TheraFace Gel 1.7 Fl Oz

How to use: Glide device across treatment areas as needed for each attachment

Treatment time: Up to 8 minutes

Amazon rating: 4.1/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “Admittedly, I don’t know exactly how the treatments work at the physiological level, but I have only had good results from using this device. Even after days when I eat more carbs or sodium (when my face usually retains more water and looks puffier), I often use the percussive and microcurrent therapies, which help activate my facial muscles and ‘redistribute’ a lot of fluid in the face, so my face looks much better defined. Although it might sound shallow, when I see that my face is more contoured, and that my skin is brighter, my mood is 10 times better.”

If your skincare goals include hopping in a time machine, this Ziip microcurrent device might be the next best thing.

I recommend this wand to everyone who needs it.”

It has six modes that do different things for your skin, like cleaning, moisturizing, tightening, and cooling, and each of them are great.”

If you want to improve your skincare, you should include this device in your beauty regimen. The MyoLift™ Mini Microcurrent Device shows results in as little as one week. After two weeks, your skin will have an overall glow, a reduction in crow’s feet, and a minimization of redness.

An Amazon reviewer says: “As an esthetician, I have worked with numerous skin care devices, but the MyoLift Mini has truly impressed me. Recommended by several colleagues, I decided to incorporate it into my practice and have seen remarkable results, especially with marionette lines and around the eyes. One of the standout features of the MyoLift Mini is how quickly it delivers visible results. My clients, and even I, have noticed a significant improvement in skin firmness and reduction of fine lines after just a few sessions. The marionette lines soften, and the delicate skin around the eyes looks more youthful and lifted. I use the MyoLift Mini both professionally and personally. My clients appreciate the gentle, non-invasive approach and are thrilled with the results. The device is easy to use, and its compact size makes it perfect for at-home treatments as well.”

Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “Since incorporating the NuDerma Wand into my daily skincare routine, I’ve noticed a significant enhancement in my skin's tightness and overall clarity. The device's promise to boost the skin’s appearance isn't just marketing fluff; it’s a reality that I’ve experienced firsthand. The application process itself is soothing, and with each use, I feel as though I’m treating my skin to a professional spa service right at home.”

Dr. Karan Lal is the director of cosmetic surgery at Affiliated Dermatology in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Tera Peterson is the co-founder of NuFACE and a microcurrent esthetician.

Although you may see results immediately, “be mindful, the lift is temporary, but over time, the thought is it will help sustain a snatched look,” says Dr. Lal. “You will likely see a snatched appearance after use, but this will be gone within a few hours at max. It takes months and even years to see sustained improvement, which will be subtle. You want to use it daily to get the best results.”

If you want stronger and longer-lasting results, consider an in-office treatment. “As a cosmetic laser surgeon, in-office treatments provide better and longer lasting results,” says Dr. Lal. “Treatments like Ultherapy, Skintyte, EMFACE, and Endymed Pro are great non-invasive options that can give you a more robust outcome. However, all non-invasive options in the office also provide temporary results, so maintenance treatments are required over time. Oftentimes, I’ll recommend in-office procedures to kick start and then recommend microcurrent devices to maintain results.”
