How to Use the Renewa iLift: Step-by-Step Routine

Updated · 4 min read · By the Renewa Skin team

The Renewa iLift combines red light therapy, sonic vibration, and gentle warmth in one handheld device designed for the lower face. Getting good results is mostly about technique and consistency. Here's a simple routine you can follow every day.

Before you start

Fully charge the device with the included USB cable before first use. Read the user guide that comes in the box, and do a short test on a small area of skin if you have sensitive skin.

Step 1: Cleanse and prep

Wash your face and pat it dry. Apply a thin layer of serum — the Best Value bundle includes Swiss niacinamide serums for this — so the device glides smoothly and the sonic vibration can help work the serum in.

Step 2: Smile lines

Turn the iLift on. Starting at the corner of your mouth, glide slowly up along the fold toward the side of your nose. Repeat several times on each side using light pressure — let the device do the work.

Step 3: Marionette lines and lip lines

Move to the area below the corners of your mouth. Glide from the chin upward toward the mouth corner, then outward along the jawline. Finish with a few gentle passes over the upper-lip area.

Step 4: Finish your routine

Apply your usual moisturizer. In the morning, follow with sunscreen. Wipe the device head clean after each use.

How long and how often?

About 5 minutes a day is the recommended starting point, and you can extend sessions up to 15 minutes. Daily use matters more than session length. Many users build it into their evening routine or use it while watching TV.

Many people report a refreshed feeling after the first sessions and a smoother-looking lower face after 3–4 weeks of consistent use, with continued improvement over 6–8 weeks. Individual results vary.

Safety notes

Don't shine the light directly into your eyes, and don't use it on broken or irritated skin. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or metal implants, have epilepsy, or have any medical condition.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the iLift every day?

Yes. The iLift is designed for daily use, starting at about 5 minutes per session.

Do I need to use a serum with the iLift?

A thin layer of serum helps the device glide and pairs well with the sonic vibration. The Best Value bundle includes three niacinamide serums.
