What makes the ZIIP device so great is the accompanying app that you can download onto your phone. The app features lots of different treatments to target different areas of your face, so you can tailor your treatment to the specific areas or concern you want to address on any given day. You can sync these treatments to your device via bluetooth, and you can watch Melanie Simons conduct the treatment via a video tutorial as you follow along. These treatments are also updated regularly, so regardless of when you buy your device, you’ll have access to the latest treatments on the app.
The treatments currently range from Energise (an all over treatment to give the skin a glow, soften fine lines and tighten the skin) to more targeted treatments such as 11s, which help to treat frown lines between the eyes and forehead. There are also treatments to target blemishes and pigmentation, and lifting and sculpting treatments designed both depuff the skin and to lift the jawline and brows. Treatments last between two to 12 minutes, so they can easily be slotted into your day. You can also ‘stack’ different treatments by conducting them one after the other if you have a special event or want to give yourself an all bases covered type of treatment.
Depending on the treatment, you might experience some tingling or involuntary twitching as you pass the device over your skin. I could feel some tingling during the Total Smoothing treatment, which is designed to target breakouts. As I moved over areas of breakouts on my chin and jaw, I could feel a tingling sensation on these areas as the current passed through my skin. Equally, with the Energise treatment, my lips would occasionally quiver as I moved the ZIIP around my mouth, and I could feel a tingling sensation in my teeth. This was totally painless (and Simons explains that this is totally normal to experience), but it does feel odd at first.
