Short answer
Choose Halo if you want one luxury instrument with RF warmth, ultrasonic depth, microcurrent, therapeutic light, vibration, and Lumis. Choose NuFACE if you want a dedicated microcurrent system from an established category leader.
AT A GLANCE
The meaningful differences.
This is not a teardown of NuFACE. It is a buying guide for someone deciding whether microcurrent alone is enough.
| Decision point | SKINFOUNDRY Halo | NuFACE TRINITY+ |
|---|---|---|
| Core technology | RF warmth, ultrasonic depth, microcurrent, therapeutic light, and calibrated vibration in one device. |
NuFACE TRINITY+ is a microcurrent facial toning device. LED is available through a separate attachment or set. |
| Device price | $395 for Halo, with a Lumis starter included in the box. |
$395 for the TRINITY+ Starter Kit on NuFACE's official product page reviewed August 2026. |

WHY HALO
Halo was built for the buyer who wanted the rest of the treatment in one place.
Microcurrent can be useful. It is also only one part of what many shoppers are trying to solve: firmness, texture, dullness, puffiness, and the feeling that expensive skincare stops at the surface.
Halo brings five technologies into one instrument and pairs them with Lumis, the treatment gel it was made to be used with.

HOW TO DECIDE
Which device should you buy?
Choose Halo if you want one complete system.
Halo is the stronger fit if you are comparing devices because you want more than microcurrent: RF warmth, LED, ultrasonic depth, vibration, and a serious companion treatment gel in one routine.
Choose NuFACE if you want a microcurrent specialist.
NuFACE is the stronger fit if you specifically want a legacy microcurrent brand, FDA-cleared positioning, and optional attachments inside that ecosystem.
The deciding factor is Lumis.
If your hesitation is whether a device will actually make your skincare work harder, Lumis matters. It is not treated as an accessory. It is the other half of the Halo treatment.
The device you leave out gets used.
Halo is built for the buyer who wants the treatment to feel elevated enough to repeat. Performance matters first, but daily visibility helps build the habit.
REAL ROUTINES
Do not buy another device to leave in a drawer.
Halo is built around a clear treatment system: choose the mode, apply Lumis, and let the device do the work. The point is not owning more beauty technology. The point is using one instrument consistently enough to see what it can do for your skin.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers before you choose.
Is Halo better than NuFACE?
It depends on what you want. NuFACE is best known for microcurrent. Halo is built as a broader treatment system, with RF warmth, ultrasonic depth, microcurrent, therapeutic light, calibrated vibration, and Lumis.
Is Halo the same price as NuFACE TRINITY+?
Halo is $395. NuFACE TRINITY+ Starter Kit was also listed at $395 on NuFACE's official product page reviewed August 2026. Offers, bundles, and sale pricing can change.
Does Halo replace microcurrent?
Halo includes microcurrent as one of its five technologies. It does not ask you to choose between microcurrent and the rest of your treatment. It combines microcurrent with RF warmth, LED, ultrasonic depth, and vibration.
What comes with Halo?
Halo includes the device, a Lumis starter, USB-C cable, and treatment guide. Current offer pages may include additional Lumis value when the offer is active.
Which is better for jowls, SKINFOUNDRY Halo or NuFACE?
Jowls involve loose skin and slack muscle. NuFACE tones the muscle. SKINFOUNDRY Halo tones the muscle with EMS and adds radiofrequency for the look of firmer skin over it. See What are jowls and what helps on the Journal.
Can I use NuFACE gel with SKINFOUNDRY Halo?
Use Lumis with SKINFOUNDRY Halo. It is the treatment gel the device is designed around. Unlike most conductive gels, which only help a device glide, Lumis adds niacinamide, tranexamic acid, a peptide complex, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
How does CurrentBody RF compare with NuFACE and SKINFOUNDRY Halo?
CurrentBody Skin RF ($385.99) is radiofrequency only, corded, and takes about 70 minutes for a full face once a week. See the full side-by-side: NuFACE Trinity+ vs CurrentBody RF vs SKINFOUNDRY Halo, and Does NuFACE really work?
