DESIGN NAME: ageLOC LumiSpa
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Skincare Device
INSPIRATION: Nu Skin developed the idea for ageLOC LumiSpa when the company noticed two important and converging trends: the emerging research on cell movement and its positive impact on the skin along with the growth of beauty devices. Nu Skin scientists found when cells move in a cyclic motion are healthier, more efficient and yielded more positive results. Focus groups indicated the cleansing routine is the most natural fit to incorporate cell movement technology into skincare regimens.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: ageLOC LumiSpa is a handheld, dual-action personal skincare device that delivers that treats and cleanses the skin. This first-of-its-kind, waterproof system delivers seven skin benefits for healthier, youthful looking skin. The patent-pending, counter-rotating action of ageLOC LumiSpa with specially formulated treatment cleansers purify pores by removing dirt, oil, makeup, pollutants and toxins.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With its soft silicone treatment head, ageLOC LumiSpa’s proprietary Micropulse Oscillation technology enables the device to move at the precise frequency needed to promote skin renewal, revealing smoother, softer skin after just one use. At the same time, LumiSpa gently—yet deeply—cleanses away dirt, oil, makeup, pollutants, and toxins through its proprietary oscillating, pore-tightening action, leaving skin smoother and purer while reducing the appearance of pores.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The product was first ideated in 2012 and publicly introduced in December 2016, in New York.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Nu Skin worked with global leaders in engineering, design, manufacturing and packaging to bring together new technologies in a unique way. This included developing a device small enough to sit non-intrusively on a vanity, waterproof, with multiple sensors and times to indicate when too much pressure is applied and when to move to a new area of the face and moves at the precise frequency in a counter-rotating motion to provide several skincare benefits.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 25.4mm x 88.9mm x 190.5mm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Extensive collaboration and testing among Nu Skin and its partners led to the successful development of the final design of ageLOC LumiSpa. This research was named as a “Top 10 Poster” by the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists from among more than 300 posters exhibited. This unique device combines groundbreaking technologies in a way that has never been used before to deliver consumers an experience that improves skin softness and smoothness immediately after one use.
