Our favourite pieces of tech for firmer, brighter and smoother skin 4 in 1 portable microcurrent facial device
Beauty gadgets have revolutionised almost every aspect of our regimes, and there's now a clever device to aid almost any issue.
When it comes to hairstyling, many of us have a whole toolkit of gadgets to hand, from hairdryers to hot brushes and straighteners, enabling a salon-worthy blow-dry. But while the skin, body and oral care categories may be less established, they are just as innovative – if not more so.
From LED face masks for improved tone and texture and microcurrent devices for more toned, taught skin, these are the best beauty devices to consider investing in now.
The Lyma Laser is often mistaken for a high-powered LED device, but the secret to its skin-rejuvenating powers actually lies in LLLT (that's low-level laser therapy) rather than traditional light therapy.
The only laser device created for at-home use, it features a central cold laser that penetrates past the skin barrier to switch the cells' rejuvenating processes on, leading to better collagen production, faster skin recovery, and even the treatment of issues such as rosacea, acne scars, pigmentation and thread veins.
The kit comes with the remarkably slick laser and the efficacy-boosting oxygen mist and priming serum.
For the firming benefits of a radiofrequency facial at home, this handheld device heats the skin to 43 degrees, which studies have found to be the optimal temperature for collagen production. There's no redness or downtime involved, and the results are satisfyingly swift: expect toned and taught skin, with an improvement in skin texture over time, too.
An at-home alternative to FaceGym's renowned sculpting facials, this non-invasive tool promises a visible lift in as little as 10 minutes. Powered by patented EMS, which is a deeper, more powerful version of microcurrent technology, it stimulates facial muscles for a chiseled, contoured appearance. Perfect for wedding season, nights out and holidays alike.
Using a very low level of electrical stimulus and a conductive gel, this toning tool uses microcurrents to stimulate, strengthen and lift the face. The device works on the muscles (rather than just the skin) to define your facial contours and tackle fine lines. Start with the daily five-minute programme to lift the brow or contour cheeks within weeks.
With the widest range of LED light therapy colours available at-home (use red for plumping, blue for acne-prone skin, yellow for healing and green for inflammation) this facial gadget is entirely adaptable to your skin’s mood.
Using various depths and powers of calibrated LED, this high-tech tool optimises accompanying skincare for brightening results. It's as simple as selecting a program: lift, repair, brightening, purity or redness. Use it for three minutes a day for more luminous skin in under a month.
A world-first, this app-controlled tool uses differing levels of electric current – both microcurrent and the lesser-used nanocurrent – to stimulate facial muscles and encourage collagen production. We love the four minute ‘Lift’ ritual, which has both instant and long-lasting smoothing and tightening effects.
Ideal for frequent travellers, this pocket-friendly device utilises red-light therapy for boosting collagen, microcurrents for firming and massage for better circulation, all in one pencil-sized component. It's effortless to add to any existing skincare routine and is completely comfortable to use. Not to mention, it can be used around the eye area to target dark circles and depuffing.
Pep-up a lacklustre complexion in regular three-minute sessions with the assistance of 100 red and 62 blue LED lights. Developed by leading dermatologist Dr Dennis Gross, this coveted LED mask is perfect for tackling skin concerns from fine lines and wrinkles to dark spots and redness. An essential for post-summer inflammation.
This one is a multifaceted contouring device for toning, relieving tension and reducing skin fatigue in one fell swoop. Developed by the cosmetic dermatologist Dr Vali, the Cutis uses the power of vibration to rival the results of an in-clinic facial without the need to ever leave your bathroom. Work around the jaw for extra release.
