The microcurrent generated using the solar panel is 15 microamps therefore most people don’t feel the strength of it. However, when you’re rolling over the skin, most people do feel it in some areas, for example, a common area you might feel a bit of a lifting pull is when you’re doing the cheekbone area and moving towards the side of the eyes/temple area. And yes there aren’t any lights on the device either. It has an internal battery that’ll converse the solar-generated low-level microcurrent and release the charge when you roll it over your skin.

Again, usually with most of our products, it’s the results from consistent use that are a better indication of whether a device is performing as intended. Please keep in mind that it's more of a massaging tool than it is a microcurrent device in comparison to the Lumo, our flagship device, which is way more powerful when comparing it to the microcurrent EMS mode that the Lumo offers.

The Phoenix doesn't have an on/off switch or activation steps to work. It is an innovative solar-powered microcurrent device that quickly charges when exposed to natural or artificial light sources. 

There is no exact way whether one can tell if the device is on/off as it is, by default, in an 'ALWAYS ON' state once it's exposed to light. Once it is exposed to light, it begins to produce microcurrents.

After 30 minutes of continuous exposure to light, the device holds power for 24 hours, enabling a 5-minute session in the absence of light.

Although not required, the use of a water-based gel, serum, moisturizer or other product that is part of a user's skincare routine (and one that is void of any kind of oil) is advisable. While the Phoenix microcurrent bar's massaging rolling motion can help with the application and absorption of skin products, where such products are water-based they also serve as an effective conduction medium for the device's solar-generated microcurrent for best results.

The Lumo is a clinical-grade product combined with radio frequency, phototherapy and micro-currents with blue & red LED lights to stimulate collagen, while tightening and toning facial muscles and decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.

Whereas, the Phoenix is solar powered and the microcurrent is only 15uA. It is more of a skin maintenance tool and anti-aging expectations need to be lessened when comparing it to the Lumo or Venus (without a doubt).

The Phoenix is more of a de-puffing, temporary face lifting and face massaging tool that helps with better lymphatic & fluid drainage and leads to increased blood circulation all of which are great for ongoing healthy skin maintenance but are not going to lead to drastic results being noticed, as one would, for example, expect from the Lumo which leverage much higher-tier technologies like RF and EMS to actively stimulate and increase brand new collagen and elastin fibre synthesis/production.
