The buzz around the ZIIP beauty device has been circulating on the internet for several years now, with its sleek, chic design and cult following it’s no wonder people are intrigued. But, what skincare lovers want to know is: Does it really work? 

Here, instead of using complicated infographics and scientific explanations, we reveal what celebrities and beauty experts really think about the ZIIP HALO. 

1. ZIIP GX vs ZIIP HALO

Initially the ZIIP GX, ZIIP underwent a remodel and became the ZIIP HALO.

“The new, improved ZIIP, called HALO, has even more benefits than previous iterations. It combines varying frequencies of nanocurrent and microcurrent to create targeted skincare treatments, experiences like full-on facials, and even long-term treatment plans.”

Megan O’Neill, Associate Beauty Director, Goop.

Changes to the switch board offered an ultimate upgrade to the device, leading to more targeted and personalized treatments, utilizing Dual Waveform TechnologyTM. Now linked with an app, the ZIIP HALO syncs with your phone to offer specially designed treatments by Simon herself. Identify your skin needs and choose the treatment plan best suited to you to get the most from your device. 

2. The ZIIP Beauty App

“The ZIIP comes with a preprogrammed facial and an app that has a range of easy-to-follow tutorials. The brand’s founder, Melanie Simon, often creates new facials for the app, and once you purchase the device, you’ll always have access to the facial library. There are videos for full facials that range from four to ten minutes, along with shorter videos that help you target specific areas and achieve specific goals”


Tembe Denton-Hurst, Beauty Writer, New York Magazine.


The ZIIP HALO is the first app-connected skincare device that allows you to conduct clinic-level facials from the comfort of your own home. The app offers four full facials, seven targeted treatments, and five complete treatment plans. Follow along with Simon as she guides you through the treatments, giving you skincare tips and advice as she goes. Even Jennifer Aniston swears by it. 


“Between you and me and, I guess, everybody who’s gonna read this, it’s so effective. I know the woman who designed it. [it comes with] a great little upload onto your iPhone, the ZIIP Beauty App, and there's all sorts of different programs to use. It really, really works”- Jennifer Aniston to PopSugar. 

3. Dual Technology Waveform

"I've been using this Nanocurrent and Microcurrent device called ZIIP which has given me noticeable results. I'm not paid by the brand or anything, it's really, really good."- Margot Robbie


The ZIIP HALO uses what is called a ‘Dual Technology WaveformTM’; a combination of both Microcurrent and Nanocurrent. Microcurrent stimulates the muscles to contract and relax giving an immediate lifted results. Nanocurrent syncs with the electrical impulses of the brain to encourage growth and repair, giving long-term results. This combination treatment can be used to target a range of skincare concerns, giving both the ‘right-now’ solution, as well as significant improvements over a period of time also. 

4. The Non-Surgical Facelift Effect

“When I first used ZIIP HALO, I immediately saw two results that made me realize why this device is used by most celebrities in front of the red carpet: It immediately raised my eyebrows and caused an immediate lifting effect on my cheek.”

Veronica Cristino, Beauty Contributor, Vogue Italia.

Microcurrent offers a workout for the facial muscles, stimulating them to contract. This is what provides the immediate lifted look. Using the 4 minute ‘The Lift’ full facial treatment is an easy and simple treatment, toning the muscles in your face with the guidance of Simon. 

5. Other Benefits of ZIIP

“Unlike traditional microcurrent technology that mainly lifts, sculpts, and tightens, the ZIIP can address hyperpigmentation, acne, and puffiness, and it can be used on delicate areas, like under eyes”


Edyta Jarosz, Aesthetician, Shafer Clinic, New York. 


The Nanocurrent technology of the ZIIP stimulates the production of Adenosine Triphosphate, leading to a brighter and refreshed complexion. 


Using the targeted app treatments such as ‘Problem Solver’ and ‘De-puff’, the ZIIP allows users to treat problem areas in short, easy treatments, utilizing the ZIIP to its full capabilities to make it suit your routine and requirements.
