is a conductive gel or lotion needed?...or do you just use it on bare skin?

I use ky jelly, and it is necessary to make it roll smoothly over your face and allow the radio waves to penetrate the skin.

You need lotion, and it really has to be moist. I put on aveeno and add water to it

Usually you should be buying them separately. However, look for the bundles that offers both together. In the end, exfoliating mitt is used prior to applying the lotion; and application mitt is used to protect your hand when applying the lotion.

I agree with Gel. It sits on the skin. You would not want to go out & about with it on your skin. I use it as a night time application.

I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices. It helps in the morning, when I apply it to the sides and back of my heel (I have a heel spur poking into my Achilles tendon, and I'm anticipating surgery for that in January). It does seem to warm and relax those areas somewhat. But you don't use a conducting gel with it. I'm guessing that the terms for these retail devices are not applied as stringently as one would hope. I wish you good luck, if you decide to use it. From my own experience, I would say it's decent, though not outstanding, help for small areas. And it takes about 15 minutes to get an effect. So, I am an impatient person and don't always want to wait... Take care!

No need for ointment. It works just like the machine used when you go for therapy. It give pulses and tingles for 30 minutes and turns off automatically. You decide the intensity for your own comfort. I highly recommend it!

You can use any cream/gel that you prefer. It must be water-based, though, to get the expected results.

No, and I have sensitive skin. It's just about the only lotion that I can use.

you do need a separate moisturizer as it dries quite matt,its like a serum and not a cream.

Yes, gel is needed. Any type of ultrasonic gel is fine. I use aloe Vera gel as a substitute.

Gel will work as well as it does with cartridge razors, but if you don't like using a brush you may want to try some brushless creams. You just smooth them onto your face with your fingers (like a hand lotion), and they are better IMO than anything in an aerosol can. I love Barbasol Brushless, which is rich with lanolin to keep your face feeling smooth and healthy.

The best way is to drink 1 water before you put it on and 2 bottles of water after you put it on and make sure you put your lotions on before you wrap and it works GREAT !!!!!!!

No, just take a small pinch and roll it in your hands. It softens and turns into a lotion :)

I have used this on my legs and arms but it must be mixed with a lotion. depending on the sensitivity of your skin this could actually burn your skin so you really must be cautious with using this product.

Hi Pegaboo,Yes, you can use lotion with it, as long as it does not contain any exfoliating beads. We also do not recommend using a lotion that is very thick. Please keep in mind that you may need to adjust the volume settings using the 'plus' and 'minus' buttons, depending on the consistency of the product that is being used.Best,simplehuman

No, It is a cream to apply topically to your skin. Apply just like any lotion

You don't use any cream or lotion when doing high frequency. All oils & creams need to be removed from skin prior to use. Skin should be clean and dry our it can cause a shocking effect. If needed you can place gauze over the skin then use this will create a barrier & help the probes from skipping & causing shocks.
