Among the multitude of beauty devices available, microcurrent tools have consistently stood out to me. Supported by extensive research, these energy-based devices deliver immediate lifting and sculpting results. The sensation of light electrical pulses provides a tangible confirmation of their effectiveness, unlike some alternatives like LED masks that leave you without immediate feedback and require weeks to produce visible changes.
However, my commitment to using these devices has been somewhat lacking. Despite having a few microcurrent tools stashed away in my beauty cabinet, they often go unused as I struggle to find the motivation beyond my regular skincare routine. It’s quite a shame.
Fortunately, I recently discovered a game-changer—an easy-to-use microcurrent device that I can incorporate into my daily regimen. Introducing the NuFace Fix MicroWand, a sleek and portable facial device designed to deliver impressive results within just three minutes of treatment.
After an intriguing experience at New York City’s Equinox Spa, I’ve been using the device at home with great enthusiasm. Here’s everything you should know about the newest addition to NuFace’s lineup of beauty tools.

The NuFace Fix MicroWand
Now available on the market, the NuFace Fix MicroWand is a compact, FDA-approved microcurrent device designed to effectively depuff the under-eye area, enhance lip fullness, and lessen the visibility of fine lines. It includes three distinct modes (for eyes, lips, and fine lines), with each mode featuring a three-minute treatment cycle.
In contrast to the larger NuFace MINI+ and TRINITY+, which utilize bigger microcurrent spheres to contour larger facial areas, the Fix MicroWand employs lower-level waves to target smaller, more specific areas with precision. This design allows for more immediate results, while regular use is said to both enhance and maintain these effects over time.
Usage doesn’t require a strict routine; however, the wand can connect to the NuFace Smart App for guided sessions if desired.
My Review
Post-treatment at the spa, I noticed a significant improvement in my facial contour, leaving me eager to maintain these effects with my at-home use.
As with all NuFace microcurrent devices, it’s essential to apply a conductor gel before use. The Fix MicroWand comes with a Line Smoothing Serum Microcurrent Activator, which is rich in hyaluronic acid and peptides, alongside light-reflecting pigments.
After generously applying the serum, I pressed the power button and selected the Line mode to focus on my forehead first. I then moved the wand in small circular motions, ensuring it remained in contact with my skin throughout the three-minute session, which concluded automatically. Initially, my skin exhibited a slight redness (a normal response that dissipated quickly), but I noted a reduction in the fine lines that usually occupied that area.
I proceeded to the Eyes mode, gently gliding the device along my under-eyes and crow’s feet areas. For my lips, I carefully moved the wand around the outer edges of both my upper and lower lips, avoiding direct application on the lips themselves.
As someone who often deals with morning puffiness, I was thrilled to see how effectively the Fix MicroWand reduced swelling around my eyes. My lips appeared visibly fuller and more vibrant, likely due to increased circulation, although this effect wore off within an hour. Nevertheless, the immediate enhancement was impressive.
The Verdict
Though I often lack motivation, the Fix MicroWand has proven to be extremely user-friendly and requires minimal time for self-care. Its portability also means I can keep it handy for quick sessions before events.
While the results are temporary, consistent use is believed to yield longer-lasting improvements in all targeted areas. For now, I plan to continue incorporating this device into my routine, particularly for its impressive results in brightening my appearance.
