The Science Behind EMS and EP: Powerful At-Home Skincare Technologies for Glowing Skin

In the world of beauty technology, we’re seeing a shift away from passive skincare and toward active, science-backed skin transformation. At the forefront of this shift are EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) and EP (Electroporation), two revolutionary non-invasive and painless technologies integrated into the Universal Glows LumiPore Pro 5-in-1 Age Renewal Wand.

You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve searched for terms like “Best EMS Facial Device for Anti-Aging” or “Electroporation Device” — but, do they actually work? Let’s dive into the science behind these two technologies and understand how they deliver transformative results from the comfort of your home, saving you hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars in trips to the clinic and anti-wrinkle (botox) treatments.

The Science Behind EMS: >18% Increase in Firmness, Tone & Lift

EMS works by delivering low-level electrical impulses to the muscles beneath the skin. These controlled yet powerful pulses stimulate muscle contractions, essentially giving your face a workout. Over time, this consistent stimulation helps to firm the skin, define contours, reduce age related muscle loss and improve tone.

Sometimes confused with microcurrent - although the two are similar - EMS works on a much deeper level often resulting in far greater results.

But don’t just take our word for it—this is backed by clinical research.

A pivotal study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology investigated the effects of electrical stimulation on facial muscles using an EMS device. The researchers conducted an 8-week trial where one hundred and eight healthy women (ranging from 32 to 58 years) participated in EMS therapy for 20 minutes, three times per week. Their findings? Significant, measurable improvements in facial contour and muscle tone.

Most notably:

There was an over 18% increase in skin firmness and lifting as measured by objective digital skin analysis and user self-assessments.

Participants not only looked visibly lifted, but also felt the difference. The increased muscle stimulation helped recondition slackened areas of the face, improving everything from cheek volume to jawline definition.

This study reinforces what many beauty tech users already swear by: EMS facial devices aren’t just hype—they’re clinically effective tools and a great alternate option to expensive in clinic treatments for non-invasive rejuvenation. And with the LumiPore Pro, you can experience these same results in your daily routine.

EP (Electroporation): 99% Better Product Penetration, Proven by Science

Now let’s turn our attention to Electroporation (EP)—a groundbreaking method for enhancing the delivery of skincare ingredients deep into the skin layers.

Unlike traditional skincare application, which can often be resisted by the skin’s outermost layer (stratum corneum), EP technology uses controlled, low-voltage electrical pulses to temporarily ‘open’ the skins barrier, creating microchannels in the skin (generally for 15-20 seconds). These microchannels increase permeability, allowing effective, targeted, and uniform distribution of skincare and nutrients in deeper layers of the skin tissues.

So how effective is it, really?

A significant study published in Biophysical Journal demonstrated that electroporation led to a decrease in skin resistance by up to three orders of magnitude, which corresponds to a 99.9% temporary reduction in the skin's penetration resistance.

What this means in practice is profound: skincare products and nutrients—such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, collagen, hyaluronic acid etc—can be absorbed nearly 100 times more effectively when delivered with electroporation than through traditional topical application.

And here’s the best part: with the LumiPore Pro, electroporation is built in and customisable at the touch of a button. No injections, no needles, no downtime, and no guesswork—just maximum penetration with every use.

Why These Findings Matter: From the Lab to Your Bathroom Mirror

Let’s be honest—skincare products are an investment, and you pay for quality. If your skin is resisting the nutrients, you're not getting the full value. Likewise, sagging skin, dull tone, or loss of volume can’t be solved by creams alone. That’s why EMS and EP work hand in hand to create powerful results:

• EMS lifts, tightens, and tones the skin by stimulating muscles beneath the surface.
• EP ensures your skincare products penetrate deep into the skin for enhanced effectiveness.

Together, these technologies don’t just treat the appearance of aging—they address the cause.

And they’re both seamlessly integrated and completely customisable with the Universal Glows LumiPore Pro 5-in-1 Age Renewal Wand, which also includes:

• LED therapy (red, blue, green and yellow)
• Vibration therapy to boost circulation, reduce puffiness and improve lymphatic drainage
• Heat therapy to promote the skin to expel impurities

Who Should Use EMS and EP Technology?

It’s ideal for:

• Anyone looking to prevent or reduce visible signs of aging
• People who want to lift and sculpt their face without surgery, injections or needles
• Skincare lovers who want to get more out of their serums and creams
• Busy professionals looking for salon-quality treatments at home

Conclusion: A Smarter Way to Glow

Clinical evidence doesn’t lie: with an over 18% increase in lift and firmness from EMS, and over 99% enhanced skin permeability from Electroporation, this is more than skincare. It’s skin science—working in your favour.

The Universal Glows LumiPore Pro 5-in-1 Age Renewal Wand puts these two powerful technologies in the palm of your hand—so you can take charge of your skincare results without leaving your home.

Try It. See It. Believe It.

You’ve read the studies. You’ve seen the stats. Now, it’s time to feel the results.
