Frequently Asked Questions TheraFace

Facial care also goes under the skin. Daily stress and tension affects the entire body, and the face is no exception. Facial care also goes beyond beauty and includes everything from your complexion to the underlying facial muscles.

TheraFace PRO goes where no other facial device has gone before. It brings Therabody's renowned technology behind percussive therapy to the face to reduce tension, relax facial muscles and nourish the face at the deepest level - a thorough facial care for the whole face. This all-in-one facial care device offers more science-based treatments than any other device - from skin-tightening microcurrent therapy to rejuvenating light therapy to a revolutionary new method for deep facial cleansing.

And because every face is unique, we've equipped the device with an easy-to-use magnetic ring system that lets you seamlessly switch between treatments and even combine them. As your needs change, the TheraFace PRO changes with you. It's time to go beyond beauty, because true facial care goes under the skin.

Not only does TheraFace PRO offer more treatments than any other facial device (8-in-1, to be exact), but there has never been a device that has adapted percussive therapy for the face. As a device that offers benefits to your complexion and the health of the underlying facial muscles, it is a true pioneer in the new facial health category. And with the modular ring attachments, multiple treatments can be applied simultaneously for the ultimate personalized routine.

We pioneered percussive therapy over a decade ago and have now adapted the same renowned technology behind Theragun for a relaxing facial massage. With an amplitude of 3mm, TheraFace PRO safely and gently relieves stress, tension and mild facial pain and discomfort.

Just as each Theragun attachment is precisely tailored to the body's unique physiology, the TheraFace attachments are also precisely tailored to the unique structure and contours of the face. The Flat attachment can be used generally for the entire face, neck and chest area. The Cone attachment enables more precise treatment of target areas such as nasolabial folds, pressure points and the eye area. The micro-point attachment increases blood flow in the larger areas such as the forehead, cheeks and chest.

TheraFace PRO is waterproof and should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth or alcohol-free cleaning wipe. Do not completely submerge the device in water as it is not fully waterproof.

The TheraFace PRO attachments should also be wiped clean with a damp cloth or alcohol-free cleaning wipe, but not immersed in water. The deep cleansing ring is the only attachment that is fully waterproof and fully water washable.

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a condition that should be diagnosed by a healthcare professional. TheraFace PRO is a great solution for relieving tension, relaxing facial muscles and relieving minor pain in the face and jaw. For certain diseases and treatments, however, we recommend that you consult a doctor before using the device.

The blue light setting of the TheraFace LED light ring helps with mild to moderate acne but should not be used at the same time as the percussive therapy tips.

TheraFace PRO is clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, 89% of clinical study participants saw a reduction in wrinkles and/or unhealthy looking skin*.

The Microcurrent attachment uses a gentle, low-level electrical current to stimulate muscles and tighten and firm the skin. It improves muscle tone and contours of the face and neck while gently stimulating the face to firm and lift the skin for a youthful glow. The Red and Red + IR settings of the LED light therapy ring are designed to reduce wrinkles around the eyes.
