FAQS

ZIIP Basics

How does ZIIP work +

Every ZIIP device is powered by ZIIP Dual Waveform Technology, which harnesses the power of low-voltage electricity, both microcurrent and ZIIP nanocurrent™ waveforms, to give powerful facials. These two wavelengths work in harmony with your body to give multiple skincare benefits:

  • Microcurrent: stimulates the muscles in your face to work, like in a gym workout, which in turn lifts, tones and sculpts your skin. This is the waveform that gives an immediate effect.
  • ZIIP Nanocurrent™: tiny electrical currents, this waveform works on a cellular level, triggering the production of the chemical ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). This chemical, which naturally declines as we age, is responsible for giving energy to the cells that they need to repair and replenish. By stimulating the production of this chemical, over time ZIIP nanocurrent™ gives a brighter, more rejuvenated complexion and reduces signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.  

The results from Dual Waveform Technology, unlike other EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) devices are long-lasting, and even the most sensitive skin types can tolerate and respond well to ZIIP nanocurrent™ intelligent energy.

When will I see results? +

Most users see some immediate lifting results after a single treatment. However, it depends on your skin, your concerns, and your usage. We recommend using up to 5 times a week for at least 6 weeks to start seeing the long term effects.

SHOULD I FEEL THE ELECTRICAL WAVELENGTHS? +

If you’re new to ZIIP, the sensation can feel a bit strange at first, but feeling the electrical ‘buzz’ is completely normal when using a ZIIP device, and you may experience some muscle reflexes when the globes come in contact with the muscles. Don’t worry, this is part of the ZIIP experience and feeling this buzz lets you know you ZIIP is working its magic.

ZIIP Halo

How do I turn on my ZIIP Halo? +

Press the raised circular button on the bottom of your ZIIP HALO device. It will beep once to let you know it is on. All lights will briefly flash and then the band will lightly glow, waiting for you to make contact with your skin.

How do I start my first treatment? +

The ZIIP HALO requires no app connection to use THE LIFT, a 4-minute facial.. Simply turn on your device, apply gel liberally to your face and neck, and touch the globes to your skin. The ZIIP HALO will glow brighter when in contact with your skin, and that tells your treatment has started. 

Starting on one side of your face at the neck, move your device up and out towards the edge of the face, and when you feel the vibration, repeat this movement slightly further up the face. When you hear the beep that means you’re halfway through your treatment, and you should move to the other side of your face and repeat the movements mentioned above.

Will my ZIIP Halo turn off automatically? +

Yes, once your ZIIP treatment is complete, for both THE LIFT or when synced with a treatment through the ZIIP Beauty App, the device will beep twice and automatically switch off.

How do I know when to charge my ZIIP Halo? +

The ZIIP HALO band will glow orange when your device needs charging.

What comes with my ZIIP Halo? +

Every ZIIP HALO comes with a USB-C charger, 50ml Electric Complex Gel and a User Guide.

Do I need to download the ZIIP app to use my ZIIP Halo? +

No, you can experience the benefits of ZIIP HALO wherever you are without needing to connect to the app. Simply pick up and lift.

The ZIIP Beauty App can be used to unlock more expert treatments, targeted facials & plans, all with guided video tutorials.
