HigherDose’s latest device has arrived.
The brand, known for its red light technology, topicals, supplements and other tools, on Monday is revealing the launch of its Microcurrent Body Sculptor, available in a set for $399. The set, which is now available for preorder and will begin shipping on June 30, includes the Microcurrent Sculptor, Transdermal Magnesium Spray and Sculpting Activator Gel. Industry sources estimate HigherDose will sell more than 5,000 devices in the first seven months reaching $1.5 million in revenue — this number is expected to grow 20 to 25 percent year-over-year over the next two to three years.

According to the team, its Microcurrent Body Sculptor is a first-of-its-kind recovery device, combining three technologies in one: a metal gua sha-like tool, red light and microcurrent, which together could support lymphatic drainage and circulation, detoxification, body sculpting, skin tightening and overall skin health and appearance.
“We wanted to create a tool that was really good at recovering the body. The body has three very important layers: muscle, fascia and lymphatic,” said HigherDose cofounder and co-chief executive officer Lauren Berlingeri. “We felt like there were tools out there that addressed one or the other, whether it be lymphatic or muscle, but none that were really targeting all three.”
As lymphatic drainage has become a popular topic, thanks to massages, supplements and devices, Berlingeri predicts fascia, which is a connective tissue that runs throughout the entire body, will follow suit.
“When the fascia is stuck, it could cause pain, stiffness, inflammation, and your fascia directly speaks to your nervous system,” she said, adding that fascia often stiffens due to stress.
While stagnant lymphs can lead to puffiness due to built-up fluid, tense fascia can lead to knots, difficulty moving and overall tightness. When the fascia, lymphatic system and muscles are all functioning properly, the body should feel looser and be able to recover quicker.
In addition to addressing three areas in one, this is the first time HigherDose has tapped into microcurrent with four levels of the technology. According to Berlingeri, the device, which is only meant to be used on the body, is so powerful that it equates to an electrical muscle stimulation workout, where electrodes are utilized to send pulses to the body to stimulate muscles. Therefore she said this tool could be used before a workout to ensure certain muscles are firing.
Along with the muscle and fascia work, HigherDose’s hero red light supports the skin’s and body’s cellular function. The device specifically employs 14 dual-chip LED lights of both red light and near infrared light.
The device is meant to be used in conjunction with the Sculpting Activator Gel and Transdermal Magnesium Spray. Specifically, the Sculpting Activator Gel works as a conductor for the microcurrent to deeply penetrate and activate the muscles but also features ingredients like copper peptides, which are light-activating so they may enhance the efficacy of red light. When used in conjunction with the Transdermal Magnesium Spray, the magnesium, which can aid recovery, support detoxification and relax tense muscles, is also driven deeper into the skin.

“The combination of the tool, the technologies, the Activator Gel and the Transdermal Mag is the ultimate recovery solution,” said Berlingeri. “It’s the best of both worlds. This is the future of how to take care of those important layers of the body, so you’re feeling the best.”
As the HigherDose team looks to the future, red light remains its hero technology. The brand will be launching its next device featuring red light in September.
“We believe everyone should be doing red light therapy,” Berlingeri said. “We need to be doing red light for recovery. It’s not only great for beauty. It’s not only good for the mitochondria, but also for your circadian rhythm. With all the constant stress of today’s day and age, making these technologies more accessible to people has always been a thing that we want to focus on… We’re going to be coming out with more and more red light, because it is the future. At some point, I truly believe that everyone will have some sort of red light in their house in the near future.”
