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.

I was lucky enough to be selected for the trial team for this product and excited to give it a go. The design is lightweight and easy to use and charge. I have only used the product on one leg (thigh and calf) so that I could see any discernable difference during the trial. When I first used it I did find it quite tricky to use as I had massaged lotion into my skin as required for the process and my hands were still slippery trying to grip and manoevre the handpiece, noted for future use to dry hands well before beginning.

The process is easy to follow, 3-5 minutes on each area, I did this for 5 days and then rested for 2 days.

To date, I have used the sculptor for two weeks and at this stage have not noticed any difference in the texture and appearance of the leg which has received treatment and the one which has not. However, it has only been two weeks, so I am certainly going to continue using the sculptor. The dimpling of my skin is no worse, so with continued treatment (and more intense treatment) I am hoping there will be a noticeable change over time.

What an awesome little tool which is something different to the arsenal of tools I already own. Having recently tried cool sculpting I’ve have recently become interested in body tools not just face ones. Firstly this product is pretty reasonable, and with a reputable brand. The device itself appears and feels sturdy. I had to charge before first use, instructions were a little hard for me to understand and a few attempts with my skin sucked ensured! Once I had the hang of the device it felt pretty cool, more like a massage with suction - I haven’t let it sit on my skin for prolonged periods to see the damage this can cause. Def read the instructions where it notes to moisturise first! This makes things so much easier and helps cut the time and effort down hugely. I’m really trying to get in the habit of moisturising nightly and needing to use this device daily really helped. I have had this product just over 2 weeks so really not enough time to see if cellulite and firmness has changed. However I can already tell this product makes you feel like you are treating and taking time out for yourself. It’s a great massage and is definitely invigorating the skin. I will update if I notice cellulite reduction, however I feel this helps moisturiser sink in and absorb so is helping with moisture loss which will then help with a few of my other skin concerns being dryness, flaking and stretch marks and itching from the dryness. Id recommend this to just give it a go, there are so many facial products and not many for the body.

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!

Was really excited to trial this as like many people, I have lumpy, bumpy skin, orange peel if you will. It is packaged nicely in a box. Has a brief description of what it does on the back along with a quick start guide and expert tips. There is also a QR code to scan to get more information. Warnings on the bottom of the box for who and when not to use etc. I found the instructions didn't give quite enough detail. The quick start guide is ok and gets you started, but was a bit of trial and error on my part. I did scan the code, but there were no detailed instructions. Once started, I found this fairly easy to use. It feels kind of like little pin pricks as you are using it while it suctions on to the skin/fat and massages at the same time. The instructions say 5 days on 2 off, so given that it has only been roughly 10 days, I haven't really noticed much difference. As an added bonus, the fact that you liberally apply moisturizer before use means my skin is hydrated and softer as a result. I am going to continue to use this, as I am hoping to start to see results soon.

I was very excited to try this machine. It arrived and looked very spaceage. Not a fan of the packaging and must admit it wouldn't have attracted me for the price it retails at. The box colour and graphics let it down. There was no instrcutions inside only on the back of the box. Once again thought this as odd for the price you are paying. Had to hang onto the box to keep checking instructions. These seemed a bit vague but once I figured it out all was good.Actually the machine is easy to use once you master it. Lets start with the application. You apply body lotion all over and then run the sculptor over it. You push upwards while rollers move across and suck up the skin towards the roller. My leg was very sore and it did hurt to use. Not an awful pain but tender. It just showed me where the worst of my cellulite is. So I massaged through this pain and it did seem to get easier with each roll. After a good five minutes of massaging my thigh I was left with a red leg. This fades quickly. So what were the results? As I had only just over a week to trial I didn't feel this was enough time to get visible result so I only used it on one leg. I used every day and really can't see any difference in my cellulite. I believe this will come and I am definitely going to keep going. My leg does feel smoother and softer. The biggest change is the pain. After the second use the pain of application on my leg disappeared. Previously my thighs do hurt in certain areas if knocked or rubbed on. I believe that this has started to break down the cellulite as this is not so apparent now. Will keep using as it is easy and I hope to see great results after a month of using.

I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the trial team members for this product. I don't think I would have ever bought one without the trial but I urge anyone reading to seriously consider it. The device is charged with an included USB cord and is cordless. The instructions make it clear that you need to apply a decent amount of moisturiser and I suggest you follow that advice as getting a good "glide" going is the difference between this working well and not. I must admit to being surprised by the lack of vibration when I first used it. There is none at all, instead tiny electric pulses are sent out of the two prong-like things inside the casing of the device. You start using the lower end of the two settings - Electronic Stimulation Muscle Technology (EMS) and LIPO Vacuum massage technique. I wouldn't say it hurt but the first couple of times I used it there was slight discomfort for the first minute or two. I never went above EMS 3 but did experiment with all 3 levels of LIPO suction. I used it for approx 10 mins a time every 2nd day on my buttocks, thighs and tummy. Results were almost instantaneous but they didn't really last all that long at first. I think with more usage they may continue to improve. My thighs and buttocks saw the most improvement in tone and reduction in the appearance of my cellulite. I also felt as though my muscles were a little more supple when working out too. After use I always used the included cleaning tools to clean the rollers as they tend to get a bit gunky with lotion.

The first time I used the body firming sculptor, I obviously hadn’t taken in all the instructions. Consequently when I found the suction way too powerful on my leg, I couldn’t figured out how to release the suction and it was quite painful. Make sure you have a good look at the button you need to press if you make this same mistake. I also found it didn’t glide very easily with body moisturiser. I switched to body oil and that was much better. I used Surmanti Lime and Coconut oil and that was perfect and it smells delicious. You need to use the massager on each part of your body you want to target for 3-5 minutes per day, 5 days a week. That’s quite a time commitment if, like me, you have a few areas that need improving. I decided for the sake of this review, I would concentrate on the front and back of my legs and my bottom. I realised that I would probably go through a whole bottle of my expensive body oil, so I purchased a large bottle of very inexpensive baby oil and that works really well. It’s a little difficult to do this on some areas of your own body. It would actually work much better if you were able to lie down and have someone else use the massager on the back of your body. The product says you should see a difference after 8 weeks, so it’s perhaps a bit unfair to have to do a review so quickly on this kind of product. In the short period I’ve used the massager, I saw no noticeable difference in my cellulite, nor did my skin appear any firmer. Maybe someone under 50 might see better results. I did feel that my skin felt softer, but that could also be a result of massaging body oil into my skin every day. If you’re willing to take the time to use this product, I could see how it might work. Would I purchase it myself based on my very short trial? Probably not, but don’t let that discourage you from giving it a go if you feel you can devote the time to using it 5 days a week. I will actually carry on trialling it and if I see any improvement after a few weeks, I will definitely post an updated review.

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 really excited to be selected to receive this product since i've battled cellulite for years and waited in anticipation for it to arrive!! Unfortunately when it did I hate to say I was very disappointed. I find it hurts!! I tried this on my legs and even on the lowest setting and using lots of moisturizer, I find when it really suctions on to your skin it literally causes pain. I was furiously hitting the release button to make it stop!! I tried two different moisturizers but that didn't make a difference. I also watched the video online to ensure I was using it correctly. My daughter also tried it but agreed with me that it is uncomfortable and painful. I cannot say if it would do as it says as it takes 8 weeks of using for the results to be seen apparently. Maybe for some people it will be the right tool, but unfortunately not for me :( Thank you for the opportunity to trial this though.
