Want to make the most of those precious serums, concentrates, and eye creams? Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand to the rescue. It uses ionic energy via iontophoresis and micro-vibration to enhance the effect of active ingredients while firming the skin. This ensures the absorption of every last drop of a skincare product so nothing goes to waste.
The perfect pairing: Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream with Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand
We recently featured the Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream, a stable Vitamin C with a slew of natural, skin-enhancing ingredients. The Kat Burki Micro Firming Wand enables the absorption of every precious drop.
WHAT IT IS
A lightweight, handheld cordless tool that gently massages in your favorite creams and serums to increase absorption. It uses ionic energy via iontophoresis and micro-vibration to enhance the effect of active ingredients.
WHAT IT DOES
This tool is helpful because the delicate eye area is tricky. It is easy to accidentally stretch or rub eye skin when applying topicals.
Instead of rubbing your favorite serum into the delicate eye area, we love the idea of using this micro FIRMING WAND.
The Science
This tool employs two known principles of transdermal delivery: Iontophoresis and micro-vibration.
Iontophoresis
This wand employs a known means of delivering a treating active (typically a medicinal drug) into the outermost layer of the skin by using a voltage gradient on the skin. The voltage increases the permeability of the skin. This practice is called Iontophoresis.
Iontophoresis uses an electric current to deliver a medicine or other chemical through the skin. It is sometimes called “an injection without the needle”. Iontophoresis is used in therapy, medicine, dentistry, lab sciences, and physiology.
In this case, the voltage gradient is low and is not felt as anything other than a light vibration. There is no “zapping” feeling and it stops when there is no more product to absorb. There is no “overdoing” it or irritating the skin with this wand.
Micro-vibration
Micro-vibration applies just the right amount of pressure to aid absorption without harming the skin. It is a subtle oscillation, not the full-on Clarisonic like oscillating power, which would be too intense for delicate areas like eyes, browbone. The wand is powerful enough to aid absorption but gentle enough for the eye area. It only vibrates when their is product moisture and it is pressed correctly against your skin. Once the product absorbs, it automatically shuts off.
Micro-vibration is firming because it enhances micro-circulation.

Lorie Dobson says
Does the iontophoresis or micro-vibration stretch eye skin at all?
Style Chicks says
Good question, Lorie.
No it is a very gentle vibration, less stretching that rubbing or patting In product with a finger. And more hygienic.
Marissa Hoyt says
Good idea, hate wasting pricey eye creams using my finger to apply
Style Chicks says
We completely agree, Marissa!
Nikki Lansford says
How long does it take to work?
Style Chicks says
Hi Nikki! We find product full absorbs dry in 30-45 seconds, but often less, depending on the water level of the product.
Jade F says
Can I use this and my Nuface ele on the same day?
