Research and development in the skin care and beauty industry is moving as fast as ever, and innovative beauty devices are constantly coming to market. Whether you want to reduce unwanted hair, diminish dark spots or give your skin a firming boost, there’s a tool out there that can help you meet your skin care goals. Ready to learn more? Here’s the lowdown on six of the best beauty devices on the market right now.
With an impressive lineup of high-tech features, this hand-held Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) tool is one of the best beauty devices for reducing unwanted hair at home. It features powerful, high-speed light flashes that send hair follicles into a resting phase, so the hair doesn’t grow back. It features a large window that helps reduce the total time it takes you to complete a treatment and also has a self-adjusting head that bends with the body for the most precise positioning.
Choose from two different modes: one for treating larger areas of your body and another for treating smaller areas on your face where more precision is needed. The FOREO Peach 2 also connects with an app on your mobile phone, so you can easily adjust its settings and read helpful guidance during treatments.
One of our go-to beauty devices for people with thinning hair, the HairMax LaserBand 82 is a headband embedded with medical-grade lasers to help stimulate hair growth at the follicle level. “This is an effective option for all skin tones to help regrow hair for those with pattern hair loss and hereditary hair thinning,” says Dr. Joel Schlessinger, LovelySkin CEO and board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon.
It is FDA-cleared to work on Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4, which includes very fair to brown skin tones. It has not been clinically tested to be effective for Fitzpatrick skin types 5 and 6, which include dark brown and black skin. Each daily treatment lasts only ninety seconds. Plus, the band’s special comb-like teeth help separate your hair, so the laser light can penetrate your scalp and reach your hair follicles.
This versatile beauty device combines the powers of LED light, vibration, heat and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to help improve the appearance of your skin.
Depending on your personal skin goals, you can select either the red light (to target redness and fine lines) or blue light (to help keep skin clear by killing acne-causing bacteria) mode, all while temporarily improving circulation and facial contours with a combination of gentle heat, micro-vibrations and EMS. You can use this beauty device on your face (including your forehead, cheeks and jawline) as well as your neck.
When it comes to beauty devices for your face, LED masks are among the most in-demand tools out there. This easy-to-wear design is similar to eyeglasses, with arms that gently rest on your ears.
This beauty face device features seven different LED light modes, including soothing green light therapy to promote healing, red light therapy to boost collagen production for smoother-looking skin and blue light therapy to target acne-causing bacteria. “If you’re looking to add an LED facial mask to your skin care routine, this is a good entry-level option,” Dr. Schlessinger says.
Thanks to the latest innovations in beauty devices, LED masks aren’t just for your face. This device has a flexible shape, so you can lay it flat to treat your back or chest. You can also bend it to treat curvier spots, such as your shoulders, arms or knees.
You can choose blue LED to treat body acne, red light to help target fine lines and wrinkles or a combination mode to treat both at the same time. The red light mode can also help relieve mild joint and muscle pain, making this a beauty device that doubles as a recovery tool.
If you’re looking to diminish dark spots, crepey skin and fine lines on your hands, this beauty tool is just the ticket. It produces eight different wavelengths of LED light that—depending on which mode you choose—can help fade discoloration, boost skin elasticity, improve firmness and reduce wrinkles with as little as two weeks of use.
Because it's made of flexible silicone, it wraps easily around your hand and features a fingerless, open-palm design, so you can go about your day while a 15-minute treatment is in process.
