BEST FOR LASER THERAPY

Lyma laser

Lyma laser

The Lyma laser is often confused with a high-power LED device, but the secret to its skin-rejuvenating properties actually lies in LLLT (or low-level laser therapy), not traditional light therapy.

The only laser device created for home use, equipped with a central cold laser that penetrates the skin barrier, triggering cell rejuvenation processes, which leads to better collagen production, faster skin regeneration and even treatment of problems such as rosacea, acne scars, discoloration and blood vessels.

The set includes an exceptionally smooth laser and an effectiveness-enhancing oxygen mist and priming serum.

Best for tightening

CurrentBody Skin radiofrequency skin tightening device

CurrentBody Skin radiofrequency skin tightening device

To get the firming benefits of an at-home radiofrequency facial, this handheld device heats your skin to 43 degrees, which research shows is the optimal temperature for collagen production. It doesn’t cause redness or downtime, and the results are satisfyingly quick: you can expect toned and trained skin, with improved skin texture over time.

THE BEST BEFORE THE EVENT

BEST FOR CONTOURING

Ziip Halo facial toning device

Ziip Halo facial toning device

This world’s first app-controlled tool uses electrical current of varying intensities – both microcurrent and the less commonly used nanocurrent – to stimulate facial muscles and stimulate collagen production. We love the four-minute “Lift” ritual, which provides immediate and long-lasting smoothing and tightening effects.
