The Meditherapy Shumage targets one of the most searched concerns in skincare: a softening jawline, jowls and deepening smile lines. It's sold as a set: the Shumage device and the Gold Seal Lifting Cream. Meditherapy describes the device as microcurrent with two modes, used over the cream to help it absorb and to lift. An earlier version of this guide described it as a mid-frequency EMS device priced at $150–$220; Meditherapy doesn't describe it that way, and the set costs about $26 on Amazon, so we've corrected the article.
Microcurrent vs EMS: What the Shumage Uses
Meditherapy describes the Shumage as a microcurrent device with two modes, rechargeable by cable. That matters for expectations:
**Microcurrent** (NuFace, Shumage) uses very low currents, usually below the level you feel as a muscle twitch. The proposed benefits are cellular (ATP production) and a gradual toning effect with regular use.
**EMS** (electrical muscle stimulation) uses stronger pulses that make muscles visibly contract. Mid-frequency EMS is used in physiotherapy for muscle strengthening.
The Shumage belongs to the first group. It's a compact, low-cost microcurrent tool rather than a physiotherapy-style EMS device, so think of it as a gentle daily add-on to your cream step, not a muscle workout.
The Gold Seal Lifting Cream System
The Shumage set is built around the Gold Seal Lifting Cream (50ml, also sold alone). What Meditherapy lists:
**5% collagen and 2.5% gold threads**: Visible gold threads suspended in the cream, with collagen for hydration and a smoother, plumper look.
**Crich BG**: A patented ingredient Meditherapy includes for firmness and elasticity.
**Brand clinical results**: Meditherapy cites its own trials, including an 8.1% lift in sagging cheeks and a 12.9% reduction in nasolabial folds. These are brand-run results, not independent studies.
**Important distinction**: Much of the immediate tightening you see from a lifting cream is a temporary film on the skin's surface. Any lasting change depends on consistent use of the cream and device, and will be modest.

Using It on the Jawline and Smile Lines
Meditherapy suggests gentle strokes over the areas you want to lift, about 5–10 strokes each on the jawline and smile lines.
**Jawline**: Glide upward and outward from the chin toward the ear.
**Smile lines**: Glide upward from the corner of the mouth toward the cheekbone.
**Neck**: If you extend the routine to the neck, use light upward strokes and follow the included guide.
Treatment Protocol
**Preparation**: Cleanse, then apply the Gold Seal Lifting Cream to the treatment area. The cream is the medium the device glides over.
**Mode**: Choose one of the device's two modes, following the included user guide.
**Strokes**: About 5–10 gentle upward strokes per area (jawline, smile lines).
**Frequency**: The cream is designed for daily use. Follow the user guide for how often to use the device.
**Visible timeline**: A smoother, tighter look right after use (largely the cream on the surface). Any cumulative change builds over weeks of regular use.
Verdict
The Meditherapy Shumage is an inexpensive, easy entry into home microcurrent: a small device plus a gold-thread collagen cream for about $26. It is not a mid-frequency EMS device, and it won't match a NuFace in power or published evidence.
For users who want a simple lifting ritual around a cream they'll use anyway, it's good value, and the cream gives a visible short-term effect that makes the routine satisfying. If you want a stronger, better-studied microcurrent device, look at NuFace's MINI+ or Trinity+.
