We recommend a Rejuvenation programme of 20 minutes a day, 5 times a week for 12 weeks. You’ll start noticing the difference in your skin condition after 2 weeks and the gentle lifting effect after 6 weeks. The remaining six weeks completes the full exercise programme. After this initial period, we recommend a maintenance programme of at least 2-3 20 minute sessions a week to sustain optimum muscle condition.
Yes, all our technology is regulated and developed to the highest medical standards - globally. Electrotherapy is a widely used technology in Hospitals, Physiotherapy and of course Spas worldwide. EMS is the appliance of natural body science. Electrolysis, and some facials use a form of electrical current in the process of their treatments. Our unique technology targets the facial muscles rather than the skin.

Like any muscles you exercise, they take time to retrain to deliver the optimum results.
Because Slendertone Face is a safe and effective form of exercise, it has a lasting effect. All muscles need exercising otherwise they waste, losing volume and mass. Facial muscles are no different – they require a maintenance programme to keep them plump and healthy. Slendertone Face gently tones and builds the foundations of the face, lifting sag and filling out lines and wrinkles.
One of the most immediate and striking benefits our clinical study demonstrated was the significant improvement in skin complexion and general facial radiance, regardless of which programme was used. Skin conditions appeared to clear up, complexions brightened and overall health of the skin improved. This improvement is caused by the increased blood-flow to the muscles and skin, which increases oxygenation and clears toxins that can cause skin conditions. It’s why we have a unique skin radiance program that can be used if you feel your skin needs a “boost”.
The clinical study subjects said that they experienced a decrease in their wrinkles. This was supported by clinical photographic evidence validated by the subjects themselves. The most statistically significant data we have relates to increasing the muscle volume (between 18.6% and 46%). Because this muscle is attached to the skin it has the visible effect of permanently reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
The primary benefit of ST Face is to restore the youthful shape of your face. By gently toning and building the facial muscles beneath your skin, Slendertone Face ‘lifts & plumps’ them, reducing ‘sag’ and filling out wrinkles from within.
Facial muscles are delicate and have to be carefully targeted – Slendertone have perfected the product to give a gentle stimulation targeting the facial muscles associated with wrinkles and sag to gently lift and plump the correct muscles - and restore the youthful shape of the face!
No, it is carefully designed to focus on the muscles of facial expression which have a direct impact on the ageing process and are directly attached to the skin. You would not want the large muscles of mastication to increase in volume. They are exercised regularly when you eat.
Creams have a 1 day effect - often superficial - and act as a cover-up, often using active ingredients that can react with sensitive skin. Face works the foundation of the face and the effects are long-lasting as the muscles of the Face are toned and re-built.
Face will not work the muscles that have had Botox treatment - Botox paralyses muscles to ensure they don’t move. Other muscles not treated with Botox will be exercised as part of the Face Therapy.
This is quite normal and is actually proof that the technology is working! During our clinical study, most participants actually spent the 20 minute therapy session peacefully relaxing, while those who experienced the flicker merely closed their eyes. You can try repositioning the headset slightly to minimise this effect.
It is essential that the gel pads have good adhesion to the skin to efficiently deliver the therapy. Make-up and heavy moisturisers reduce the effectiveness of the delivery and shorten the life of the gel pads.
The Gel pads are patented “smart” technology that actually act as the conductor of the current and ensure a comfortable, gentle and even delivery of the therapy to the correct nerve. The gel pads use medical grade gel and their adhesive properties expire after around 5 days of exposure to air. Using with make-up will shorten the life of the pads. We anticipate 5 uses per set of pads.
The treatment delivered is mechanical and does not require the use of a cream. However, you can use creams and products after your session and because of the increased circulation in the skin the absorption of the active ingredients in your cream will be improved.
