What to Look For in a Skin Firming
Device
The best skin firming device should not only firm up your skin, but also make it easy
to clean. Some of these devices can be wiped down in less than 10 seconds. Some
even have a warranty, which means they’ll replace the product if it breaks red light therapy. However,
you should be aware that not all devices are created equal.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency skin firming is one of the latest non-surgical procedures to smooth
out sagging skin. This treatment works by using radiofrequency energy to heat the
skin and stimulate collagen production. Its impressive results include firmer and
fresher skin that is less wrinkled and less prone to fine lines and acne. It also helps
tighten the face and jawline and smooths out cellulite.
Radiofrequency skin firming works by boosting collagen production and stimulating
cell renewal, which in turn results in firmer and more radiant skin. It is ideal for
people with mild sagging skin on the face and neck, but can be used in other areas
of the body as well, if approved by your dermatologist. A couple of treatments per
year will maintain the results.
Light-based
LED light therapy is an effective, non-invasive skin firming procedure. LEDs use
different frequencies to target specific skin problems. Red light, for example,
improves collagen production while blue light helps control oil and acne. These light
therapies are considered safe and effective for all skin types. However, some people
may experience side effects.
Another device designed to firm the skin is the Foreo UFO, which uses multiple
colors of LED light to stimulate collagen production. It’s designed to be discreet and
can be used on the face or body. The device also has a built-in timer to ensure that
the right amount of time is spent on the treatment.
Facial massage
Facial massage devices use pressure points to lift the skin and prevent wrinkles.
They work by sending more blood to the skin’s tissues and can help prevent the loss
of collagen and elastin, which form the support structure of the skin. Facial massage
devices also physically press active ingredients into the skin.
The massage heads are available in various shapes and intensities. The cone shape
provides targeted pressure on key pressure points. The flat head, in particular,
relieves tension in the jawline. In addition, the massage heads are made of malleable
rubber, so they feel good against the face. The massage heads are also available in
three different intensity settings.
Illuminage
The Iluminage skin firming device is safe for home use and provides the same
results as professional lasers for facial wrinkles. Designed by celebrity fashion
designer Karim Rashid, the device is a convenient and affordable way to give your
skin a youthful glow. It also offers a limited warranty of 12 months.
The Illuminage Youth Activator uses three patented technologies to firm and smooth
skin. They work together to activate collagen and elastin production. The device also
reduces fine lines and wrinkles by promoting skin renewal. Users report seeing
results after as few as six weeks.
