Yes, absolutely. Microcurrent and nanocurrent need a conductive medium to transfer into the skin, without it the current would simply bounce off the skin's surface - it is an incredibly effective barrier. Our conductive gels have been clinically tested and proven to safely and effectively conduct the wavelengths used in our devices, and include active ingredients to boost results.

Without use of the correct type of conductor for the micro- and nano-current, zapping and stinging sensations may be felt. Please note water is not an effective or recommended alternative to the ZIIP conductive gel.

We cannot, under any circumstances, recommend an alternative gel as they have not been clinically tested with the ZIIP and their effectiveness is not known.
