A facial device is the face-shaped version of an at-home fitness machine that promises to tone, lift and reduce fine lines by targeting specific muscles. A microcurrent device, such as the NuFACE Trinity ($339), sends low-voltage currents through your skin and underlying muscles to create energy that helps build up muscle mass and boost collagen production. It’s a face workout in your home that’s not only easy to use but also affordable. The more you use the device, the better your results, which include reduced puffiness and tighter skin.
Another type of device that can be used for facial toning is a gua sha tool, such as the Lanshin Facial Cups ($25). It uses small suction cups that lift and deflate your skin to give it a defined look and reduce puffiness, while also improving circulation and lymphatic drainage. The tools are made from silicone and glass so they’re easy to clean and safe for your complexion, which is especially important for any type of facial device that uses electricity, says Dr. Doshi, adding that you should read the user manual before starting to ensure it’s being used correctly and that the device is sanitized after each use.
Other types of devices, such as the Ziip Halo ($249), harness the powers of both microcurrents and nanocurrents (even smaller electrical pulsations that penetrate deeper into skin), as well as light therapy and percussive massage beauty shop Malaysia that’s similar to what you get at an Ultherapy treatment. This beauty tool can also be synced to the exclusive Ziip app, which will provide targeted treatments for problem areas and pre-set facials.
The latest update to the Foreo Bear ($99) is even more impressive than its predecessor. This compact tool is super lightweight (it’s noticeably lighter than an iPhone 14), fits comfortably in your hand and feels smooth to the touch, with a charging cradle that makes it easy to keep charged. You can also customize its settings with the app for a variety of personalized facials and target problem areas like under-eye circles or wrinkles.
This updated facial hair removal tool from Dermaflash is a must for anyone who wants to go fuzz-free, fast and safely. Its sonic technology delivers up to 14,000 vibrations per minute, and a built-in microblade trimmer removes hair without any nicks or cuts. It’s gentle enough to be used on sensitive skin, too.
