Ten questions worth asking.
- How often do I need to replace consumables like gel or tips, and how much will that cost each year?
- Is the device FDA-cleared or certified for safe home use in my region?
- Can I use the beauty device with my own serums and lotions, or do I need branded products?
- How long do results last, and how frequently do I have to use the device to maintain them?
- What voltage does the device support, and will the warranty be valid if I travel with it internationally?
- Are there skin types or conditions for which this type of beauty device is not recommended?
- How do I know if a device uses real EMS, radio frequency, or microcurrent technology instead of a fake version?
- What kind of maintenance and cleaning does the device require after each use?
- How long is the typical warranty, and does it cover replacement heads or battery degradation?
- Can I use the device every day, or are there limits to avoid skin irritation or damage?
