What the gurus are saying

Gurus are skeptical about microcurrent devices for anti-aging claims. While there may be legitimate applications for muscle stimulation in clinical cases like Bell's palsy, experts see no credible evidence they reduce wrinkles or chisel the jawline as advertised. The recurring complaint is that these devices are expensive (often $700 or more) for results that don't materialize, making them a poor investment regardless of price point.

"It is causing muscle contraction and stimulating those muscles and potentially bringing back your muscle contraction in that area. Now if somebody has something like Bell's palsy where they lose the ability to contract one side of the face, this could stimulate the muscles, get them back into high gear and try to recover maybe a little bit quicker. I could see the logic there and maybe there's some studies or anecdote surrounding that. But beyond that, this is not a good treatment for getting rid of wrinkles ultimately."

"Microcurrent devices or any of these devices that promise you that you'll have a chiseled jawline, I don't think they work. Don't waste your money because they're expensive. If I remember correctly it was like 700 dollars, which is a lot of money. Even if you're getting the cheap ones from Amazon, I don't think they work. Don't waste your money. Anything that promises you anything instant needs to go away and stay in this year and not go forward."
