Even the best device fails with wrong usage. Avoid these pitfalls to see results:
Mistake 1: Skipping prep/aftercare. RF devices need 2mm-thick conductive gel to protect skin ; microcurrent tools work only with water-based serums (oils block current) . Post-use, apply ceramides to repair the barrier .
Mistake 2: Overusing. Most devices (RF, LED, microcurrent) work best 2-3 times weekly, 10-15 mins per session . Daily use causes dryness or sensitivity .
Mistake 3: Ignoring contraindications. Pregnant women, pacemaker users, and post-filler patients (3 months) must avoid microcurrent/RF . Sensitive skin needs an earlobe test first .
Mistake 4: Impatience. Skin regeneration takes 3-6 months—track progress with monthly photos . Remember: home devices deliver 30-50% of salon results, but consistency beats occasional intense use . Clean heads with alcohol after each use to prevent bacteria buildup .
