The part most people get wrong

Devices alone don't drive results — the routine around them does. Skipping this step is the #1 reason people don't see results after spending hundreds of dollars.

Microcurrent e.g. NuFACE Trinity+
  1. 01 Cleanse skin thoroughly
  2. 02 Apply conductive gel Required — device won't work without it
  3. 03 Microcurrent treatment (5–20 min)
  4. 04 Hydrating serum to lock in results
LED Masks e.g. CurrentBody Skin
  1. 01 Cleanse No SPF or actives on skin
  2. 02 Apply targeted serum pre-treatment
  3. 03 LED session (10–20 min)
  4. 04 Moisturizer + SPF (AM only)
RF / Tightening e.g. TriPollar STOP
  1. 01 Hydrate skin thoroughly before treatment
  2. 02 Apply treatment gel Conduction requirement
  3. 03 RF treatment per device protocol
  4. 04 Barrier repair cream post-treatment

We note recommended accessories and pairings in every device review — including what the brand recommends and what the evidence supports.



Why Celliara gives you a straight answer

Research-based analysis

We reference clinical literature — PubMed, JAAD, MDPI — when assessing device claims. We don't run studies ourselves. We read the ones that exist.

No paid rankings

No brand pays to appear in our comparisons or best-of lists. Affiliate commissions never influence editorial placement. The ranking order is the ranking order.

Evidence-aware verdicts

If the research doesn't support a claim, we say so. Strong evidence gets credit. Weak evidence gets flagged. No wishful thinking.
