Innovations in technology are paving the way in making professional quality skin care more affordable and accessible to users. Rather than heading immediately to the dermatologist - and going home with a hefty bill - there are now advanced devices to treat an array of skin care concerns at home.
Male or female, chances are aging and looking older are worries on your mind. Anti-aging treatments, including tools and products, are becoming more and more popular in the market. Science and technology are powering new and effective methods of helping skin appear to look more youthful and radiant.
As the warmer months creep in, skin care concerns specific to the season may occur, leading to the possible need for a deeper cleansing to remove both natural oils and pollen from the skin. There are several options when it comes to sonic and pulsation-based cleansing tools.
Here, check out four devices that can help treat these issues and where to find them.
Clarisonic Smart Profile
The latest launch from one of the pioneers in sonic cleansing devices can be used on either the face or body, by simply swapping the smart dynamic facial brush head for the turbo massage body brush head. Its Smart Technology automatically adjusts its power and timer to treat different skin needs. Used on the face, it removes pollution and makeup, while when utilized on the body it simultaneously massages as it cleanses. It's available for $265 at www.clarisonic.com.
Silk'n FaceFX
Used over a period of eight weeks, this device fights the visible signs of aging. Improve overall texture, lessen dark spots and brighten the skin with the tool, which utilizes a fractional red light therapy and deep thermal heating. This combination of light and heat stimulates the skin's natural collagen production, leaving it smoother and more radiant. It also shrinks pores and diminishes wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful look. Its retail cost is $149 at www.silkn.com.
Tria Age-Defying Laser
Find the same fractional nonablative laser technology used by professional treatments in this device, which is FDA-cleared for home use. Appropriate for all skin types and ethnicities, it treats multiple signs of aging on the entire face through daily treatments that take minutes. When used correctly, visible improvement may be seen in as little as two weeks, such as reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved overall texture and a more radiant complexion. Purchase for $495 on www.triabeauty.com, which is a similar price point to just one in-office doctor treatment.
Foreo Luna Mini
This silicone cleansing tool is sized to be travel-friendly, making it ideal for frequent work travelers or gym-goers. It works by channeling T-Sonic pulsations via soft silicone touch-points, deeply yet gently cleaning the skin. It features different touch-points to correspond with all skin types. Thicker touch-points deeply cleanse oily skin, such as the T-zone (forehead and nose). Thinner touch-points gently channel pulsations to use on sensitive or dry skin. The nonporous silicone resists bacteria buildup, is waterproof and lasts up to 300 uses per one full USB charge. Find it for $139 at www.foreo.com.
