It is no surprise that the beauty industry is focused on inventing the latest cutting-edge technology to fight aging. There are invasive and non-invasive procedures that are available which makes it possible to obsess over that quest for the best anti-aging treatment. Tera Peterson, Co-Founder and CEO at NuFACE, chats with Hello Beauty host, Joyce Platon, and shares how we can delay the signs of aging without undergoing botox by using a microcurrent device or receiving microcurrent facial. Just like the muscles in other parts of our body, our face needs to be "exercised" for toning and lifting. Tera explains that with botox, our muscles atrophy and we must avoid that since it will cause our face to sag. As a living testament to the wonderful benefits of NuFACE microcurrent devices, Tera admits to not needing botox yet. In this episode, Tera not only shares her knowledge in microcurrent facials but also how NuFACE has been the pioneer in facial toning devices to prevent the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and what exciting plans they have in their sleeve.
