Bit of a “horror film” in terms of function too. Most of these sorts of scams actually do nothing; the better to keep any consumer regulatory agency from waking up. This mask actually delivered shocks to the face (ref#8 here). There are (apparently) legitimate uses for “TENS” but just shocking your face muscles for the presumptive purpose of “beauty” ain’t one of them, sez this old biased one.
Oh, they have stuff now (like the Omnilux red LED facemask ) which makes the wearer look like an extra from Logan’s Run. While that may sound regressive, in my mind, thats actually progress I want to be part of!
