Voted #1 by Cosmopolitan Magazine for “Best Multitasking Micro Current Device”
Brand: TheraFace
Price: 399.00 (Range: $319.00- $419.99)
Release Date: ???
Ratings: 4.4 Overall, 222 Total
5 Stars 75%, 4 Stars 8%, 3 Stars 4%, 2 Stars 3%, 1 Star 9%
Our Rating: 7 out of 10
Why: this device had an overall good rating and I wanted to be able to give it an 8 or 9 but alas once again over 10% of people were very unhappy with the short window return policy of the company directly. Only a 90 warranty on the attachments. Also it felt like it was trying to accomplish too many things. At first I thought amazing! I only need one device! But sadly as a red light therapy device I still much prefer a mask where I can lay down and achieve a relaxing nap while letting the device do its job. Having to hold it and move it all around your face is tedious and takes a lot longer. Also a surprising amount of customers felt it did not do a good job as a facial cleanser. Still it did have over 75% of people giving it 5 stars which is much higher then any other device I have analyzed. So overall I feel this is definitely one of the better options on Amazon as long as you do not mind splurging a bit on the price knowing that you are getting much more then just a microcurrent device.

Some users experienced product failures shortly after purchasing, raising concerns about quality control. Some users report issues with the percussion feature, stating that it only works for a brief period (about two seconds) instead of the intended two minutes. This malfunction could be a significant drawback for those relying on this specific functionality.

- Water Resistance Limitations: The fact that the device is water-resistant but not fully waterproof is mentioned as a limitation, particularly for the cleansing ring. Users express concerns about potential damage if used under running water.
- Limited Research and Gimmick Concerns: A few users express skepticism about the limited research supporting the device’s benefits and question the need for certain features, labeling them as potentially gimmicky. Some users prefer alternative professional treatments over the Therabody device.
- Customer Support Challenges: Users express frustration with the customer care process, indicating that exchanges or support are difficult without the purchase information. This could be a hindrance for users facing issues with their devices.
- Cost: The TheraFace Pro is considered expensive by some users. While many find it worth the investment, the price point might be a drawback for those looking for a more budget-friendly option.
Here are some of the most important comments to reflect on before purchasing:
Item works well when it functions. After 6 months the light attachment no longer worked. Warranty for attachments is only 90 days. Therabody offered no customer support, said I was out of luck. Seems outrageous for a $400 price tag.
For the price, you are better off buying specialty machines that will give better results.
* The light therapy is better done as a mask and will save you MASSIVE time investing in one of those. Otherwise kiss goodbye an hour plus of your day to get the same coverage
* The electric therapy is great, but you can not get fine line areas with how large the bulbs are, there are machines that specialize in this that are way more effective.
* The hot and cool rings are an extra $100 and truthfully you can buy individual ones on amazon that work better. Really, the hot ring is as good as putting warm water on your face, so you really want the cool ring. The problem is the cool ring is awkward and hard to get the key areas under eyes and nose, so consider that one nowhere near as effective.
* Just throw away the facial scrubber and “stimulator” this is silly. Its just a baby theragun that punches you in the face. No ultrasonic movements or anything fancy. You’re better off buying a specialty machine.
