I applaud you for not going just by what the manufacturer says (like other influencers) and for taking the time to do your research and share it with us. Thank you! :)

Hi. I think you neglected the reason WHY ATP is reduced with EMS, and this is important because not all EMS is the same. The reason ATP is depleted with EMS is because the muscles are USING it when contracting. IF the stimulation is too strong (causing your muscles to twitch), your muscles are using al lot of ATP, which takes a longer time to be restored. However, EMS is not always that strong. The PureLift, (the device from the face gym you visited), has never caused my facial muscles to twitch and the manufacturer, The Recovery Lab, has a lot of information on their EMS, and why theirs increase ATP. As you noted, ATP does replenish itself continously. The key is the exertion to the facial muscles, or put differently, the aount of ATP that the device causes your muscles to use. If not overstimulated, less ATP is used, and since ATP can be increased through electrical stimulation, it is possible to increase ATP with EMS. The amount of ATP that can be stored is also limited, so increasing the skin's ability to produce ATP over time through electrical stimulation is also an important consideration. Per your battery analogy, the battery's capacity is limited. Increasing the batteries capacity to quickly charge is another consideration. The temporary use of the battery's energy isn't the only thing to think about. In the end, devices such as electrical stimulation (EMS AND microcurrent) and Red Light Therapy, aim to increase the skin's metabolism and function to act like younger skin. Microcurrent manufacturers love to mention ATP reduction, while never producing studies that show if A) all EMS devices reduce ATP just because they reach the muscles and B) that the ATP reduction is a long term deficiency.

I was about to buy this from Tatis video… but I thought you might have a discount code on it and wanted to give you the credit… did not realize I’d be taught such an important concept.

THANK YOU

If the decrease in ATP after using the device was harmful to the muscles, then we would not be able to go to the gym to lift a lot of weight and do a lot of sets. I don't think it's important to decrease ATP after using the device, because if there were muscle contractions of course ATP will decrease and then resynthesize.

Please review the medicube Userra Deep Shot. Dying to know what you think! I trust your judgement. Thanks

[TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Great video Penny! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research. Love the analogy…I’d rather I reserve/boost my ATP.

[carolabney]

Thank you for this very informative video! There’s a lot of hype out there with these devices and I’ve been searching for a more in depth and critical (as in objective) look at it. I also noticed some red flags on their site. There are a lot of videos out there saying EMS does increase ATP so I appreciate the studies you showed. It was also something I was wondering about. I can’t help but wonder, if this is meant to stimulate facial contractions as in exercise, why not just do targeted facial exercises? What’s the difference? Is there a benefit to a device that exercise would not provide?

[iluvpepero]

thanks for being so thorough + informative. this was really helpful. ordered both the medicube age r + booster h devices! 😊

[amandaaustin]

Love gadgets but don't know where I would fit this in, I think I will stick with my micro current, radio frequency and microneedling. Thanks for the informative video.

[AngelSweetYJ]

What about the Medicube Ussera? Please make a review about it. Thanks.

[MarieSAnderson]

Oh now I wish I had seen this earlier. I saw a video where the woman was saying it helped her TMJ. I get Botox in my masseters for TMJ and it does work for me but it’s so expensive. I sprang for this hoping a one-time expense would help cut down on the amount of times I needed to get my Botox refreshed. It sucks shelling out hundreds of dollars for Botox and still having wrinkles 😂😭 But if it makes Botox wear off quicker, I really made a boo-boo in purchasing it. Sigh. Well, I may try it on my knees and see if it does anything there. Thanks for the in-depth and understandable information.

[MrsPaulaTorres]

This whole talk about ATP being a question is like saying should you work out considering lactic acid will build up…. The answer is Yes, we all should :)

[anislizard]

Thank you so much again for this interesting video and all of the research 🙏 🥰 You look so beautiful again!

[xiomseg]

Thank you Penn. always helpful <3 Have a great day!

[LenaSheppard]

This is so interesting. Thanks for clearing up some confusion.
I appreciate you very much !

[jlee]

Thank you for this! I’m curious about your thoughts on the claims that strengthening facial muscles with EMS and micro current DON’T help with sagging skin but instead just build muscle which just makes the face more angular. I used micro current regularly for 4 years and really saw no benefit to my skin, it really just seemed to make my thin angular face more thin and angular!…and so this theory makes sense with my experience…what do you think?

[Criticalbeauty]

I’ve been wondering so much about these devices thank you so much!!

[theresajopson]

Still wondering why so many of these newer devices are using EMS if it depletes ATP?

[twishia]

Thank you so much for this informative video of yours. I was so tempted to buy all medicube devices for quite some time now since it keeps on showing up as ads and right now, they have the primrose colored devices but then, I stumbled with your video. I'm gonna really think it over then as I'm only in early 30s and don't want to lose ATP earlier than it supposed to be and also, I already have foreo bear to help my bell's palsy residue in my face and helps me whenever I get flare ups as well so, I'll stick to it for now then. Have you tried the medicube air shot and booster h devices? Is it worth it? Yay or nah? Thank you once again.
