Four Devices to Enhance Your Beauty Routine
Transform your home into a medispa with these science-backed devices.
As time progresses, so does technology in the beauty realm, with new research and innovations enabling many to achieve their aesthetic goals. However, weekly visits to a medispa often remain financially inaccessible for most, being reserved for special occasions in many cases.
Fortunately, there is a middle ground. Many home-use devices offer the same science-backed technology used in medispas, allowing for similar results at a lower cost. Not only is it comforting to dedicate time to self-care, but it is also rewarding to know that the treatments are evidence-based.
Here are four science-backed gadgets that can transform your beauty routine and help turn your home into a medispa.
CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2
Red light therapy has become a favorite among science-backed beauty devices. These types of devices use low wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin, providing multiple aesthetic benefits such as reducing wrinkles, sagging, and redness, while promoting skin regeneration and rejuvenation. The CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Mask has been recognized for years in the field of at-home red light therapy. The new Series 2 enhances the original design, offering more comprehensive coverage with nearly double the LED bulbs, increasing from 132 to 236. Additionally, it introduces a third type of light for deeper skin penetration.
It is important to note that results are not immediate, and it is recommended to use the mask for 10 minutes a day, three to five times a week, with visible effects noticeable after four weeks or more. The battery can be attached to clothing for added convenience during use.
HairMax LaserBand 41 ComfortFlex
Red light therapy has also been used to stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation in the scalp. The HairMax LaserBand 41 ComfortFlex focuses on addressing hair loss using 41 red light laser diodes, allowing for more extensive coverage than other methods. Its headband design simplifies usage: simply place it on the head and activate it with a button while undergoing treatment.
It requires regular use over several months to start seeing results, but it can be done while watching television, making it an easy procedure to integrate into your daily routine.
Braun Skin i·expert Smart IPL
Traditional hair removal techniques like shaving or waxing can be laborious and often painful. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices like the Skin i·expert offer a more convenient solution by removing hair by damaging the follicles to limit future growth. Each session is quick and almost painless, allowing for use on different areas of the body. A session per week is recommended during the initial weeks, followed by maintenance sessions every one to two months.
It is crucial to mention that IPL hair removal is not effective on darker skin or lighter hair, although the device features a detection system that prevents its use on unsuitable skin types.
RoseSkinCo. Petal 2
Facial cleansing brushes have been shown in studies to provide better results than simply washing your face with your hands. However, a brush that is too aggressive can damage the skin barrier. The Petal 2 by RoseSkinCo. is a gentle brush that will not harm the skin, designed with antibacterial silicone bristles that generate 10,000 pulses per minute to remove impurities.
It is waterproof, has a timer that automatically shuts off after 90 seconds, and its compact design makes it easy to use and store. Additionally, it comes with an attractive wireless charging base.
