5 Beauty Devices For Your Skin Concerns
Microcurrents, light therapy, microneedling—oh my! It can feel like every day we’re seeing in our feeds some new gadget designed to rejuvenate our skin. And with these devices being used more and more at home (no longer only during trips to the spa or the dermatologist’s office), it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the options. But it’s totally worth it to add a device to your skin care routine, because doing so can give you better results than just your serums and creams alone.
1. LIGHT THERAPY DEVICES
Light therapy devices work by sending light energy into the skin in order to trigger a reaction inside the cells—and different color wavelengths all offer unique benefits. “The red lights turn on collagen production and increase circulation while decreasing inflammation, while the blue lights destroy acne-causing bacteria,” explains Dr. Cheung.
2. MICROCURRENT DEVICES
Microcurrent increases the flow of electric currents across the cell membranes of the skin and muscles, which translates to increased circulation and lymphatic drainage, and improves the skin’s potential for collagen synthesis and wound healing.
3. MICRODERMABRASION DEVICES
Dr. Cheung recommends microdermabrasion as the quickest way to polish the skin for a natural glow. Microdermabrasion devices work by using vacuum suction to remove old, dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, revealing the healthy-looking skin underneath.
4. DERMAPLANING DEVICES
Dermaplaning involves using a sharp tool to exfoliate the skin, and “gets rid of peach fuzz and dead skin to prep the skin for enhanced penetration of active ingredients,” Dr. Cheung says. While professionals often use a scalpel-like device for these treatments, home dermaplaning devices make the process safe and easy to DIY.
5. MASSAGE DEVICES
As great as it would be to see your facialist daily, it’s not an option for most of us—but a facial massage device is the next best thing. According to Worden, these devices are great because they can help depuff, firm and soothe skin, as well as assist with product penetration and deep cleansing.
