Commitment and running costs

The Trinity+ is the reference device in at-home microcurrent, and its advantage over cheaper rivals is control: three frequencies aimed at different depths, an extra toning mode, and a boost button, all steered by follow-along routines in the app. It is well-made and genuinely easy to use, gliding over the face with the conductive gel it requires for a few minutes at a time.
Honesty about what microcurrent does is the whole point of a device like this. The effect is a temporary tightening and lifting of the look of the face, most noticeable straight after a session, rather than a permanent change to your skin or a substitute for professional treatments. NuFACE publishes strong satisfaction figures from its own studies, but those are self-assessed, so the realistic expectation is a subtle, maintained lift that depends entirely on keeping up frequent sessions. Stop using it and the effect fades.
For someone who will genuinely do short sessions several times a week and wants the most established, best-supported microcurrent system, the Trinity+ is the one to buy, and the guided routines make the habit easier. For anyone who will not keep up the routine, or who expects lasting results from occasional use, it is an expensive way to be disappointed, and the ongoing cost of the gel adds up.
