Manicare Firming Body Sculptor

Thank you Beauty Review for the opportunity to trial the Manicare firming body sculptor. I found the design very user friendly. The handle is easy to hold and the machine is lightweight and portable so would be easy enough to travel with. The detachable section cup which has two rollers inside seems quite secure and can only be detached by pressing a button underneath on the base. It comes with replacement filter,a brush for cleaning and a USB cord for charging which I just plugged into my cellphone charger. No manual but easy to follow instructions on the box.

The device has two modes: Electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) which glow red on the device and Vacuum massage technique (LIPO) which glow blue.

For the purpose of this trial I wanted to trial the device on the back and sides of my knees/inner thighs as this has always been a problem area for me with bumpy skin.

After showering at night I generously applied my pure fiji body lotion to the back and sides of my knees/inner thighs. I then used upward motions over my skin for approximately 3-5mins. The release button on the device became my friend at times when the suction became too much. The lipo setting which has three intensity levels felt very strong for me even on intensity 1 to begin with and I haven't been able to progress past this setting yet as it's still quite painful. Hopefully after a few more weeks of use this will become easier. The EMS setting which has five intensity levels are more manageable for me at the moment as it feel like light tingling that gets a little bit stronger as you increase up the levels.

I like this device, it's easy to use and feels like it's working. My skin around my knees/inner thighs feels smoother but they have also has been getting regular moisturizer too in the past week. It's too soon to see any other results like increased skin firmness or reduction in cellulite after just 1 week of use but I believe consistency will be the key with this device. I will keep using for another 7 weeks and update my results at the end.

The Manicare Firming Body Sculptor comes well packaged and is easy to charge. The electronic muscle stimulation feels a bit weird to start with but as long as you start at the lowest setting and work up from there then you get used to it really quickly. The lipo vacuum suction takes a little bit longer to get used to, especially on the "softer" parts of your body. My body sculptor took a little longer to arrive so I've only had it for 10 days so it's probably a bit soon to see any proper results so far but my skin definitely feels like it has had a "workout" after using it.

What a strange looking contraption! My kids call this 'alien tech' and keep trying to use it in their Doctor Who reenactments!

It's a nice little gadget, easy to hold and has a nice weight to it. I like that it comes with a charging lead, much better than having to change batteries.

The buttons/levels weren't as intuitive as I would like, I wanted to plug and play, but alas, I had to read first.

I still haven't figured out what the side switch between 1 and 2 is for - given you select the levels for the stimulator and suction on the front!

I've been using on my tummy and thighs for the trial period. I started on the lower settings but now have high. If you don't use enough moisturiser it will vacuum on and you will bruise if you're not quick enough with the release button!

I really enjoy using it and after I feel like I've done something, so it definitely doesn't feel like a wasted or frivilous exercise.

I think my skin is improving, I wouldn't say its necessarily firmer, this isn't as my husband delightfully put it, a 'fat sucker' but I do think my skin is softer and smoother to touch and does look much more even - and that's after just 2 weeks!

I'm a firm believer that to see a reduction in cellulite and skin texture, you have to put in the work. Drink water, eat healthily and exercise. BUT there will always be areas where this just doesn't get rid of it altogether and having a nifty gadget like this to provide extra attention and stimulation to troublesome areas is great.

It comes well packaged and is easy to get set up - literally you plug it in and wait for it to charge. I do wish it came with a usb plug too, as I did have to use my phone's in-wall bit.

The buttons are clearly labelled and it's not too much of a stretch to work out what to do from the instructions.

You need to be very generous with the moisturiser, otherwise it will not glide!!

I actually used a light moisturiser as I didn't want to clog pores with a heavier product.

I started on a high setting because I'm a rebel and cos, it didn't half tang - so I immedicately went to the lowest setting.

I've been using this on my upper thighs and butt - and I've enjoyed using it. I do think I look less bumpy in these areas and my skin feels soft and smooth. I definitely ache after use which I wasn't expecting - it's that post-workout/ post-massage ache that tells you things have been moving.

In conjunction with a good diet and exercise I think this is a great tool in the arsenal to further target areas and promote a more even skin texture.

I've never used a tool like this before and it was really simple to set up and use, just put the attachment on, charge for a few hours and you're good to go. I especially love that it's cordless, that makes it so much easier to use and I found I didn't need to charge it after each use.

I have been using it on my thighs and I'm still getting used to the way it feels. It does feel strange at first and for the LIPO function, I have stayed at the lower end of the settings for now as the suction power surprised me and my muscles. I found the EMS to be easier to get used to. I will say that you need a decent amount of moisturiser (not for use with oils) and it works best with a thicker one or it doesn't glide as smoothly. I appreciate that you can use the two functions seperately or together and choose which one you want stronger. I used the EMS more than the LIPO function as I was worried about the suction of my skin everyday.

I also like the product design, lovely colour, nice to hold and very light. It's quick to wash and it comes with spare little filter things and tweezers to change them which is nice. I used it for the recommended 5 days and 2 days rest though I broke it up with two half sessions in the afternoon and evening to get my muscles used to it. I can feel a difference in my thighs, they do feel slightly firmer but I think I'll be able to 'see' more of an effect as I continue to use it. This is definitely a long-term use product. I'm pretty pleased with how it's going and I would recommend this product.

Firstly I would like to thank BR for the opportunity to trial the Manicare Salon Firming Body Sculptor.

This device has 2 functions to it, firstly Electrical Muscle Stimulation and also LIPO Vacuum Suction with massaging rollers.

The main purpose of this device is to stimulate blood flow and help to eradicate cellulite and to firm and tone your muscles and appearance of your skin.

This comes with an attachable roller which you roll over your body while it creates suction plus massaging while it emits EMS.

You must use a lotion otherwise this won't work and I read online not to use a body oil otherwise the EMS won't work. I tried one body lotion and ended up splashing water on to make it roll across my skin but found it wasn't suitable so I switched to the Nivea Organic Oat body lotion with great success.

This is a tricky device to use initially but once you get the hang of it it does become easier.

I especially like the EMS as I felt it working that much so it made my fingers tingle when I did my arms. With this in mind I would not use if you have a medical device or checked with your doctor beforehand.

There are different levels for the EMS and the suction. Also you can increase the suction further switching the button on the side from 1-2. You do need to keep your skin as taut as possible otherwise this device will suck and will be difficult to move however there is a release button.

I used this on my upper arms, thighs, buttocks and stomach.

I have trialled this device for approximately 2 weeks and have felt my muscles are more toned particularly my arms where let's face it with age they do start to lose some tone. With more time I believe that I will see more improvement and will be able to increase the suction to a higher setting from 1-2.

It does really emit a pulse which feels a little sharp if used on the highest setting and the LIPO suction is very strong too and can hurt if you have it set too high.

I will definitely continue to use this as I feel I've had an improvement.

The body sculptor comes in a box with a charging cable and maintenance / cleaning supplies. The instructions and precautions are all included on the box, with a QR code for more information.

It is easy to use and charges fairly quickly. All you need to do it apply moisturizer to the area, then turn it on, making sure all the settings are set to low. You glide it over the area using upwards motions and the suction and massaging rollers do all the work.

It was a bit awkward to use the first time, but once I got used to it, it was very easy to use. It sits nicely in the hand and the controls are very responsive. The release button is big and easy to locate quickly if you need to break the suction.

I thought it may become a chore to use, but it was quiet meditative to relaxing to use (especially with the massaging rollers) so I found myself looking forward to using it.

The device charged quickly. The noise level while using was moderate. It didn't take long to notice results. My skin was much smoother to touch and more even in appearance. It definitely had a toning effect on those top layers of fat.

The device promises increased skin firmness and smoothness in 5 minutes a day. It definitely delivered that, I'm really happy with the results.

I have found using the Lipo Vacuum and Muscle stimulation on the top part of my arms and the top part of my legs ,it left my skin with a glow and the feeling of being massaged and improved . I have taken some before and after photos that l will post . It's certainly easy to use and charges easy , l found my skin texture was improved, and felt invigorated. I am definitely going to keep using it , Thanks Beauty Review

I was extremely excited to be a part of this fantastic trial!

The packaging is very standard. Cardboard box with a plastic casing inside but everything was packed neatly. I like how there is a QR code on the box that you can scan and it takes you straight to Manicare’s website where there is a video tutorial, if you like a little extra instruction.

The device itself is really light and the suction cup part is a decent size, not too big and not too small. So easy to use!

I like how you can customise the different levels/strengths on the EMS and lipo settings. The EMS feels like faint electric shocks and you can definitely feel it penetrating your skin! It is also silent when you use this mode.

The lipo function is great! It draws your skin into the cup and the rollers inside slide along your skin to help plump and smooth it. It’s quite loud, though, and sounds like a messaging device…

I absolutely love this device! I highly recommend getting one. It made a noticeable difference with the cellulite on my legs after two uses! Even my family commented how my legs look smoother.

I can’t wait to see what the results are after another few weeks of use!

As happens with age and kids my thigh area had gotten a bit cellulite-y. I have also recently taken up exercising and noticed a little improvement in tone as well. I am currently out of action exercise wise due to a major ankle sprain and this machine arrived at the perfect time to test it. I opened my parcel and inspected the box, it was a pretty lilac pink with a photo of the sculptor. It appeared to have a lot of information on the box, almost overwhelming , so I took the time to read it all before actually opening it. After reading everything including the “quick start guide” on the back I opened the box so I could find a manual or proper instructions etc but there wasn’t any. I googled and went on YouTube and found no more info. re read the box again and found a QR code that took me to the website but it didn’t really provide anymore info. I’m not sure that I should maybe be familiar with how to use this type of product as a customer but I’m a complete newbie so that was a huge downfall for the product. Inside the box was a charger (you need to provide the wall adapter), the machine and the suction roller head and replacement filter things and a cleaning brush. Sorry I don’t know what they’re (no instructions) I worked out that when you use the moisturiser with it the massager can get a bit gunky and the little filters stop the moisturiser going into the suction part of the machine. I charged it up and had a go, I really felt like I was winging it with the quick start instructions. First of all make sure you use ALOT of moisturiser and keep it moving or it’s like a vaccumm on the skin and it’s hard to get off and painful. There is a release button to break suction. You can use the EMS setting and the suction setting at the same time. Are you supposed to? I’m not sure. There is also a switch on the side saying 1 and 2, nowhere could I find what it was for but it appears to make the suction stronger. I think. Btw it’s super loud. It was sort of uncomfortable at first but my skin quickly got used to it and honestly I felt results right away. I managed to do 4 days on 1 charge and decided then to recharge it so battery life is good. I got better at manoeuvring it around my body each day too and now after a shower I sit on the couch and use it. I’m loving the results after only 2 weeks. It recommends 5 days use with 2 days rest, much like exercise. Would I recommend it? Absolutely!!! It 100% works. A little disappointed there aren’t better instructions but for the results it gives it’s forgivable. That would be my only dislike about the product. I don’t even think it’s expensive for what it claims to do. It’s worth every cent. My skin feels amazing and it’s only been 2 weeks. I can’t wait to get to the recommended 8 weeks. My legs feel summer ready for the first time in years. Younger softer and more supple feeling skin.
