Beauty devices have been sweeping the internet, promising salon-quality results without expensive appointments or trips to the spa. But with so many options and claims on the market, it’s hard to know which one is right for you. And while some may be promising, others might not live up to the hype or even cause harm to your skin. To help you figure out which beauty devices actually work, we spoke to two aestheticians who shared their tips and tricks on the best at-home products with Beautyfoomall and how they’re supposed to be used.

Whether you want to tighten your face and reduce fine lines or boost collagen, there’s probably an at-home device out there that’s right for you. “The most important thing to remember with any of these tools is that they’re not going to give you the same results as a laser or injectable,” says dermatologist and founder of Ever/Body Rose Ingleton. That’s because while professional treatments can be effective in a variety of ways, they also come with certain risks, including potential side effects and downtime.

However, there are some at-home products that have been proven to be effective by experts and users alike, including wands with microcurrent technology. “Microcurrent is the gold standard for at-home facials,” Ingleton says. It can strengthen the facial muscles, which can result in reduced fine lines and wrinkles, as well as brighten, firm, and plump the skin. In fact, Ingleton recommends using a microcurrent device at least twice a week to get the most benefits.

While microcurrent devices are a great option for at-home facials, there are other beauty wands out there that are equally as effective and safe to use. Ingleton and other dermatologists also swear by red light therapy, a non-invasive treatment that works to improve skin tone, increase circulation, promote collagen production, and even help fight acne. In fact, some beauty devices are now designed to incorporate the same types of technology as traditional laser and injectable treatments.

Another option is the Essia Wand, which looks like a gua sha on steroids. When you swipe the metal head of the wand over your skin, it pulses to stimulate the facial muscles and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It has three different modes, including the Exfoliate setting (which uses ultrasonic vibrations to slough off dead skin cells), Moisturize (which uses a negative ion flow to attract and absorb skincare products), and Lift (which uses EMS to tone up facial muscles, resulting in tighter, more lifted skin).

And for those who just need a little pick-me-up on the go, there’s the ZIIP GX, the first FDA-cleared pen-size microcurrent device for cosmetic use. It comes with a charging station, a bottle of gel, and instructions for downloading the accompanying app (available on iOS and Android). After slathering the included gel over your face and neck, the device is as easy as a quick TikTok to use—just swipe the two metal knobs in upward and outward motions over your neck and jawline for five to 10 minutes.
