CurrentBody Skin Radio Frequency Device Review- Does it Work?

Imagine a device that rewinds the years off your face, softens fine lines and wrinkles, tightens and firms the skin, boosts brightness and improves sagging, all from the comfort of your own home.

It sounds almost too good to be true. And as a natural sceptic, I don’t fall for just any beauty gadget.

So does the CurrentBody Skin Radio Frequency Device actually work?

It’s clinically proven, science-backed and dermatologist-tested, but I wanted to see whether it really lives up to the hype.

I was excited to try the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device, but realistically, at 35 my skin doesn’t have many wrinkles, so any results would be subtle.

To properly put it to the test, I tried it on my mum’s 60-year-old skin, which shows all the usual signs of ageing, much to her dismay!

How Does Radio Frequency Work on the Face?

The Currentbody Radio Frequency Device comes with 4 electrodes that contract collagen fibres and stimulate the natural production of collagen.

It accomplishes this through its exclusive Skin Sense Technology, which continuously monitors the skin’s resistance to maintain a consistent and safe temperature for optimal anti-aging results.

The result is younger-looking, less wrinkled, tighter skin! After just one use, you may see noticeable results. Continue reading my review to see whether we saw instant results!

How to Use

Using the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device is super easy. You don’t need to be a professional to be able to use it correctly. Follow these simple steps:

Sensitivity test: 48 hours prior to using the device, test the area you intend to treat for 3 minutes. You can start a full treatment if the tested area feels and appears normal.
Prepare your skin: Before using the device, make sure your skin is dry and clean. Remove all moisturizers and other topical products. Also, remove all jewellery from the treatment and hand areas.
Apply the gel: Apply a generous even layer of the Radio Frequency Gel that comes with the device. You need to apply the gel to any area you wish to treat.
Operating the device: Plug the device in and turn it on. Select your energy level, for new users, start with level 1, and increase the intensity level once comfortable. Move up a level by pressing the button again.
Using the device: Place the device on the area you want to treat. Once the green light starts blinking, move the device over the area. You will feel a warm sensation. When the temperature is reached the green light turns solid. After 5 minutes, the light will turn orange signalling that the treatment for that area is complete.
Aftercare: Wipe the device down, rinse off the excess gel from your skin and continue with your regular skincare routine. Use a high-factor SPF for 2 weeks following treatment. Avoid using hot water on your face.
Usage: For best results, use once a week for 8 weeks for instant, dramatic and long-lasting results

My Review of the Tightening Device

How Does Radio Frequency Work on the Face

My first impression of the Currentbody Radiofrequency Device is how luxurious it looks and feels. It comes in a beautiful box that’s compact yet, with everything you need inside.

But, it’s not only the box that feels this way, the actual device is also top-notch quality, from the design to the way it works.

Using the device is really easy. It comes with an in-depth manual on everything you need to know on how to operate it, but truthfully, it’s pretty straightforward.

Once I turned the device on, I placed it on the skin and slowly moved it over the targeted area. The four electrodes heat up quickly, giving the skin a warm, comfortable sensation.

One thing to note is that if you move the device too quickly, it struggles to reach the correct temperature. It works best when moved slowly over the skin, either up and down or in small circular motions.

It felt very similar to a facial massage. At no point did my mother experience any pain, just a gentle warmth. An orange indicator light lets you know when the treatment is complete.

I did find this a little tricky, as the light is only visible on one side of the device, meaning I had to keep checking it. It also meant multitasking wasn’t really possible. A small sound alert instead of a colour change would be more practical.

My only real complaint is that after a while my arm did start to feel tired, and I hadn’t even completed a full treatment.

Radio Frequency Before and After

The results really wowed me and my mother! The ‘after’ picture was taken about 5 minutes after using the device on my mother’s jawline and smile folds. While the smile folds are still visible, which is to be expected, they are not as deep and the same can be said for the jaw area.

I haven’t yet used the device enough to see long-term results, but I am very impressed with it so far.

Does the Radio Frequency Work

I think the results speak for themselves, the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device does indeed reduce wrinkles, tighten the skin and give a younger appearance.

While I haven’t used it enough to see what the long-term results are, I can definitely say that even after a couple of uses, my mother’s skin looks more youthful and it’s made a huge difference to her wrinkles!

It’s perfect for anyone looking for a younger, more youthful appearance. It’s also ideal for a quick fix before a night out. Since the results are immediate, use it before a party or event to shave some years off your face. Give yourself about half an hour to let the redness subside.

In Summary

Ease of Use9

The device is easy to use, but time-intensive for a full treatment. Of course, it’s up to you what areas you wish to treat, if it’s only one or two areas, you won’t find it too time-intensive. Given that it’s an investment, it’s essential to evaluate whether you will genuinely commit to using it on a consistent basis before purchasing. Regular use obviously gives better, more long-term results!

Effectiveness8

You can expect fewer wrinkles and tighter skin from this device. I only used it a couple of times and already saw results. Skin feels plumper and smoother.

Quality10

The quality is really impressive, from the packaging to the device and everything else included. I love how it comes with adaptors for different countries making it very versatile and easy to travel with.

Value for Money10

Eventhough this facial device is pricey, it scored a 10 out of 10 for value of money, because compared to professional treatments, it’s highly affordable!

Common FAQs

Yes, the Radio Frequency Device is safe, clinically proven, backed by science and dermatologist-tested. Read the contraindications below to see if it’s compatible for you.

DO NOT use if you have a history of skin cancer or areas of potential skin malignancies. The use of the device has not been tested in areas with skin cancer and therefore the effects are unknown.

You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort when using the device. You should feel a warm sensation on the skin, but if it is uncomfortable stop using it.

You may experience slight redness following the use of the device. However, it will disappear after a short time.

Having reviewed the LED Light Therapy Mask, I’ve put together a table showing the main differences between the two devices. While they’re both anti-aging devices, they do differ.

	CurrentBody RF Radio Frequency Device	CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Mask
Technical	Waves to stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles	132 LED bulbs deliver 30 mW/cm² for a powerful 10-minute treatment to improve the skin’s appearance.
Targets	Reduced fine lines & wrinkles, improves skin texture, enhances skin tone, targets sagging skin	Improves fine lines & wrinkles, brightens & balances skin, evens tone & reduces texture, brightens skin
Results	Instant results	Visible results within 4 weeks
Usage	70 minutes for full treatment, once a week for 8 weeks	10 minutes, 3-5 times a week for 4 weeks
Price	£299	£279

The main factors to consider are what improvements you are looking to make, whether you want instant results and of course if you have the patience to hold the RF Device for the required time. The LED Face Mask is easier in that sense because all it requires is that you sit back and relax for 10 minutes.

My Thoughts

Overall, I was very impressed with the CurrentBody RF Radio Frequency Device. It gives instant results in a pain-free way. It’s an easy way to get rid of some wrinkles and get tighter more youthful skin!

Before buying, be sure to read the contraindications to check if the device is for you. They’re written above in the FAQ section, but you can also find them on the CurrentBody website.

Unfortunately, the Radio Frequency Device is not yet available in the US. It still needs to be FDA-cleared, which they’re working on. I’ve linked below where you can buy it in the UK.
