NuSkin Rolls Out New FDA-Cleared Microcurrent Beauty & Wellness Device

Nu Skin Enterprises has launched Nu Skin RenuSpa iO, a  new FDA-cleared microcurrent body device. The smart beauty and wellness device “designed to promote overall wellness and body confidence through skin stimulation.”

According to Nu Skin, RenuSpa iO uses patent-pending adaptive microcurrent technology that continuously adapts (more than 80 times per second) to your skin's conductivity throughout each session. The patent-pending design of the metallic nodes on the device help provide a smooth, comfortable massage. Designed for use on the upper and lower legs, arms and abdomen, the nodes are designed to perfectly fit the contours of your body and glide smoothly over your skin.

“We've expanded our best-selling beauty device portfolio to now include our first integrated beauty and wellness device,” said Ryan Napierski, president and CEO at Nu Skin. “RenuSpa iO provides visible beauty benefits, as well as comprehensive wellness benefits to help the body restore, revitalize and refresh. RenuSpa iO delivers all these benefits with a unique and personalized at-home experience.”

Using the Nu Skin Vera app, users can see live data insights throughout their experience to see how the adaptive microcurrent technology adjusts in real time. The app offers guided tutorials, a library of routines and usage tracking to help see results over time. A personalized iO score is also provided to help users stay motivated, according to NuSkin. 

“RenuSpa iO is game-changing technology for the global beauty and wellness market,” said Steve Hatchett, executive vice president and chief product officer at Nu Skin. “RenuSpa iO is the result of years of Nu Skin research on microcurrent technology and how to make it easy to use, comfortable and effective. On average, RenuSpa iO makes 25,000 real-time adjustments each session, creating one of the most personalized and powerful ways to support improvements to beauty and overall feelings of wellbeing.”

It is said to work to depuff the skin's appearance, visibly contour and reduce the appearance of dimples for a smoother, radiant look, visibly tone and sculpt, visibly firm and tighten for a more youthful appearance and provide a spa-like experience to lift mood, improve overall feelings of wellbeing. NuSkin says it also leaves the skin feeling energized and the body feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Clinical Testing

Nu Skin commissioned a 12-week study of the RenuSpa iO with 42 participants between the ages of 25 and 65. The participants used the RenuSpa iO device with Nu Skin Conductive Gel five times a week for five minutes per area (e.g., abdomen, back of upper arm, back of upper thigh including buttocks) to assess visible skin depuffing, toning and sculpting. Thigh and arm circumferences were taken at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12.

Comparing use after 12 weeks to baseline, the study showed the ability of Nu Skin RenuSpa iO device, through skin stimulation, to visibly tone, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of dimpled skin on the upper thigh and abdomen. Participants noted improvements in the appearance of their skin's firmness, smoothness and contour, according to the company.
