For those who do buy it, I’d watch out concerning the depth and across the eyes, because it made spots seem throughout my imaginative and prescient briefly throughout use. The directions for this system don’t say something about utilizing it on the edges of the neck, so I averted that space. It additionally requires batteries and can’t be recharged, which I personally do not discover to be excellent. The system itself felt lighter and cheaper than the opposite units, which is smart, because it prices $99. As for the gel, like lots of the others I examined, it didn’t final all through your entire therapy.

I’d be cautious across the eyes with the upper intensities.
As for the AGE-R app, it gives a monitoring calendar, visible progress monitoring, guided movies and customized system settings. Nevertheless, the guided movies known as “Shorts” felt extra like social media movies, and I want they had been extra curated and concerned particular voice directions.
I appreciated the system’s design with its display and located it straightforward to carry and maneuver over the face. There may be additionally a voice that states which mode you are on, the depth and what number of minutes have handed through the therapy, which is a superb accessibility characteristic. No stand is required because the system can stand upright by itself, and I like that the charger connects to the highest of the system in order that it might probably nonetheless stand on a countertop when being charged.
