I think the branded gels and serums are a bit of a con tbh. In a real pinch you could just use standard medical conductive gel (although you'd want to wipe it off!) but aloe vera gel mixed with a cheap and cheerful HA serum works fine, and a few people I know use this:
As long as neither of them contain oil. If they do, they will just block the current.
I know, it's one of the reasons I think it's easier to DIY it by using aloe vera gel or even medical conductive gel as a base, you know exactly what's in it and you can use all of the ingredients in the branded versions but apply it far more liberally to ensure maximum efficacy of the device.
I've used aloe gel before because I know that's OK. The conductor gel I used seemed to give off menthol fumes that irritated my eyes so I stuck with aloe.
Thank you for this suggestion! I got it for use with my bear body and I think it will be perfect for that. It smells lovely and fresh but I think it’s a bit too perfumed for use on my face. I’ll report back when I’ve used it
Hope it works well!
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.After toying with the idea for what must be about two years now, I'm biting the bullet and going for tear trough filler tomorrow. Hoping the bruising isn't too bad as I'm out and about at the weekend
I bruise really easily but had no problems with tear trough as it uses a cannula xxAfter toying with the idea for what must be about two years now, I'm biting the bullet and going for tear trough filler tomorrow. Hoping the bruising isn't too bad as I'm out and about at the weekend
