Do I have to use conductive adhsive gel?

Not at first. But eventually the glue type finish of the pads lose their effectiveness and the gel is necessary.

A bit of gel on the pad helps with the flow of electrical current. However, I usually use it without anything and it works just as well for me. I've also used a bit of aloe vera gel or arnica gel which works just as well. Use sparingly because too much will lessen the stickiness on the pad. Happy pain killing!

This device does NOT use electrocurrent. This device has several other therapeutic choices: Sonic, ionic, & LED LIGHT therapy. You need to use a conductive gel on your skin when you use the device. I highly recommend this device!

We use the device with the gel pads, but no additional gel. It's a great device, particularly if used consistently.

The pads last for a while. It depends on how often you use the device. You have to remember to keep them covered with the plastic shield that comes with each pad. You do not need additional gel or adhesive.

I'm not familiar with NuFace devices. They seem to deliver an electrical current to the body to stimulate muscles under the skin. I believe the gel is really made for devices that read electrical currents from the body such as heart rates, etc. But other people seem to have used it successfully in other stimulation devices, per some of the reviews. It improves electrical conductivity between the electrode and the skin. With a stimulating device, you might wind up getting more of a jolt than you expect, so take it slow and start on a low setting would be my advice.

You don't use any cream or lotion when doing high frequency. All oils & creams need to be removed from skin prior to use. Skin should be clean and dry our it can cause a shocking effect. If needed you can place gauze over the skin then use this will create a barrier & help the probes from skipping & causing shocks.

My customer thought the add on item adhesive gel is sold by us, acutually it is sold by the other seller. The customer can not receive this product from the other seller, customers emailed us. We have to contact Amazon customer support to remove the add on item as customers do not know if it is not from our company. Note: our pads are water activated. When it is not sticky or conductive well after about 20-30 times use, just moisture the pads with few drops of water to reactivate.

I bought a gel tube, it sucked to use had to clean yourself afterwards and i just bought more of the pads (I was trying to be green but sometimes...).

Sure. You just need to ensure the connector and electrodes are not compromised. Adding an extention should be no problem.

I use the gel on the pads for a bone stimulator and a tens unit. I get a lot more wear from the pads using this. A single tube lasts a long time. I have even used the gel on pads where the adhesive had all come off and it works!

I use the pads that came with the unit. I didn't think of using gel because my physical therapist doesn't. I will have to change the pads soon though because I can feel them being less and less sticky every time I use them.

Never use it without the gel! Without the gel to spread the current around the area, all you are doing is electrically cooking your belly.

I think I ordered ReliefBand Conductivity Gel as an add-on. Can't hurt to order the gel, as you will need to reapply it during your trip. I re-applied it every 2 hours or so. The band/gel worked really well for me. I felt normal almost the whole time. However, I also took one less-drowsy dramamine before the boat ride and chewed on ginger during the boat trip, as well.

You can use any cream/gel that you prefer. It must be water-based, though, to get the expected results.

Yes. Use a little hair gel on the sensors after wetting for a better contact with skin.

The ingredients are the same. You really don't need both. The structure gel is cheaper.
