With the fast development of non-invasive solutions for our lasting beauty and aging problems, we have the option to look fresh and picture perfect with a flawless complexion made at home. So how do these at home anti-aging, skin clearing, wrinkle zapping treatments compare to the professional treatment we would get at the clinic?
Let’s explore the beauty gadgets that you could be buying and using by yourself.

Microdermabrasion
The at-home device option polishes the skin with a diamond tip that vacuums away loosened skin cells on the surface, just like an in-office procedure. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that helps to mechanically exfoliate the damaged top layer of skin leaving behind healthier skin and stimulating cell renewal.
Using the device twice a week for about five minutes for two months, your skin will gradually get smoother.

Skin Perfecting Blue Light
The blue light handheld device designed to reduce acne breakouts by eliminating the bacteria deep within the skin. This has several benefits in the treatment of acne as acne-causing bacteria are very sensitive to blue light. Specifically it produces light-sensitive porphyrins which selectively absorb blue light. Therefore, when blue light illuminates the skin, the porphyrins get activated leading to rapid and selective destruction of the bacteria.

Electric facelift
This line of devices uses micro-current technology to give what they call a “5-minute face lift” by sending low-level waves through the skin. Micro-current facial toning acts on a cellular level to stimulate energy production that drives collagen and elastin production.
Don’t get scared by the “shocks”, you won’t get electrocuted. It’s prickly, but manageable. After one week you will some results as skin feels tighter, brighter and firmer.
This technology is used by spas during facials to attain a younger looking appearance. For the cost of one or two of such spa treatments, you can buy one of these devices to improve facial contour and tone.

LED Face Mask
A targeted, product-free facial for mature skin types looking to reverse the look of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and loss of firmness and acne-prone skin types hoping to kick redness to the curb.
This all-over light therapy face mask utilizes both red and blue light therapy to stimulate collagen production and reduce breakouts. Red light therapy is used for its anti-aging properties because it’s collagen-boosting. The blue light therapy kills acne-causing bacteria.
The hands-free device targets the entire facial complexion to smooth over wrinkles, reduce blemishes and even the skin’s texture.

LED stimulation for Wrinkles
Formulated with the latest LED light and multi-wave technology, this anti-aging device works to clarify your complexion.
The best thing about it is that it’s portable, so you can take it anywhere with you to help keep your skin looking younger. Continuous use is time consuming but if you do it properly you will see the results.
