Skin care devices have revolutionized the way we take care of our skin at home. With innovative features and precise targeting of concerns, these tools have become must-haves for many beauty enthusiasts. Leading the skin care devices category are tools that target wrinkles, dark spots, acne and other signs of aging.
Anti-Aging Devices
Micro current devices are at the top of the anti-aging skin care device market. By delivering a mild electric current to the skin, these devices lift and tighten skin naturally over time. Some popular micro current tools include NuFace, current body and micro Current. Clinical studies have shown micro current to be as effective as cosmetic procedures like facelifts at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As we age, collagen and elastin production declines which causes drooping skin. Micro current stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration for plumper, firmer looking skin.
Another anti-aging hero is LED light therapy. LED stands for light emitting diodes that deliver various wavelengths of light to treat specific concerns. Red light and infrared LEDs increase collagen production much like micro current Beauty Devices. Blue light and red light kill acne causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. Green light targets redness, pigmentation and age spots. Popular LED masks include Neutrogena Light Therapy Mask, Dr. Dennis Gross LED Light Therapy Panels and Emson Tracie Martyn UltraLift Face Mask.
Cleansing and Exfoliation Beauty Devices
Thorough cleansing has always been a challenge, especially for hard to reach areas like between the brows and along the nose. Cleansing devices like Clarisonic and Foreo help scrub away dead skin cells, oil and makeup with sonic pulsations for a deep down clean without abrasiveness. The Clarisonic Mia smart helps exfoliate twice as much dead skin with its dual functionality brushes.
Foreo has taken cleansing vibrating technology to another level with its Luna line of facial scrubbers. The Luna uses T-sonic pulsations to effectively scrub 2x more than hands alone and is entirely waterproof for use in the shower. Its silicone brush heads are also replaceable and more hygienic.
Hair Removal and Grooming Devices
Getting rid of unwanted hair in a painless yet effective way is another skin perfecting challenge that devices have solved. At-home IPL or intense pulsed light hair removal tools like Tria Beauty and Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 eliminate hair in just a few treatments. IPL works by damaging hair follicles to discourage future hair growth over multiple sessions.
For more targeted hair removal needs, micro-sized electric trimmers and shavers handle everything from eyebrow shaping to body grooming. Brands like Philips Norelco, Panasonic and Braun offer corded and cordless options for precision trimming and shaving. The Panasonic ES-LA93-K Rechargeable Shaver is effective yet affordable for face and body. Tweezing has also been reinvented with tools like Tweezer man Slant Tweezers and Finishing Touch Flawless Brow that shape to perfection.
Body Shaping and Toning Devices
While we always focus on our face, our bodies deserve some device love too. For localized fat loss, devices like Emsculpt and Cool Sculpting Elite target stubborn fat with minimal discomfort. Emsculpt uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions equivalent to 20,000 repetitions in just 30 minutes. Cool Sculpting cools unwanted fat to induce injury and elimination through the body’s natural metabolism over 2 months.
For all over toning and shaping, electric muscle stimulators like Thera body Theragun PRO and Tim Tam Firm can knead and release tension. Thera guns deliver deep tissue massage through powerful bursts of air pressure to relieve sore muscles. Light therapy also makes its way to the body. Combination LED/IR saunas like Renpho and Sunlighten claim to detoxify, soothe muscles and simulate collagen production for supple skin from head to toe.
Emerging Trends in Beauty Devices
As new technologies emerge, beauty devices continue to push the boundaries of at-home aesthetic solutions. Microcurrent and LED combined devices are gaining popularity for their multitasking abilities. Skincare tools are also becoming “smarter” with built-in sensors, tracking and customized treatment modes through integration with smart phone apps.
Devices are also getting smaller and more portable for on-the-go power. Brands will likely venture into new categories like oral care, nail and teeth whitening in the future. Non-invasive “injectables” mimicking the effects of Botox, fillers or Kybella through careful energy delivery may disrupt the medical aesthetic space. As societies become more health and wellness focused, looking and feeling our best will remain a high priority achievable through innovative in-home tools. The exciting evolution of beauty devices is sure to continue.
