Skincare Devices that Really Work

October 7, 2019

Are you confused or overwhelmed by all of the at-home skin are devices that are on the market? I know that I am. I’m a tech geek and a gadget girl and I tend to buy everything that promises “results at home” without having to spend a ton at the dermatologist or med spa. I recently had the opportunity to ask Dr. Manish Shah, MD, a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and anti-aging skin expert in Denver, CO to help us all out. I asked him to name his top 3 at-home skincare devices that really work. Read his answers below…

Dr. Shah’s recommended skincare devices that really work:

best at-home skincare devices

LightStim – at-home LED therapy 

“I like the Lightstim device because it is made by a company that creates professional LED devices for plastic surgeons and dermatologists. The Red wavelength is great for anti-aging because it enhances blood supply and collagen creation in the skin with daily use. It also speeds up healing after facial treatments like chemical peeling, microneedling, and laser. The Blue wavelength is effective at killing acne and helping maintain blemish-free skin. They are quite powerful for at-home usage.”

Clarisonic – Facial Brush

“The Clarisonic Face Brush has good scientific studies showing its efficacy. Use of the Clarisonic prior to the application of any anti-aging face serums like Vitamin C or Retin-A allows for up to 60% deeper penetration of the serum. This means that the active ingredients in serum can get closer to their targets in the skin at higher doses. Most skincare is diluted by various mechanisms before the target cells in the skin ever get exposed to the active ingredients. Use of a Clarisonic device optimizes medical skincare.”

Theradome – laser hair therapy

“I love the Theradome because it is an easy way to help regrow thinning hair or maintain the current health of your hair. The laser wavelength used is very safe and not associated with any side effects. Unlike red light LED, laser can penetrate down about 5mm under the skin of the scalp. This is the depth one would find the hair follicles. The red laser increases blood supply to the hair follicles, enhancing delivery of oxygen and other nutrients the hair needs to grow. Treatment times are only 20 minutes 2-3 times a week. Using it more frequently won’t do any harm.”
I was so happy to hear Dr. Shah’s recommendations because I actually own two of them (I have extremely thick hair and don’t have a need for the laser hair growth device, but it’s nice to hear that there’s something that works). I LOVE all of the Clarisonic devices that I have used. You may or may not recall that I actually appeared in The Oprah Magazine last year speaking my praises about the newer Smart Clarisonic Mia device (proud bragging moment). I also have a LightStim device that I confess I purchased a while back but have not used recently. After hearing the good doctor’s advice, you’d better believe I pulled my LightStim device out and will start to use it on a very regular basis.

Let me know if you have any of these at-home devices and what you think of them.

    I have a Clarisonic, but reach for my FOREO LUNA more often, and I also have the NuFace Trinity– which is awesome!

    I have a different light stim but I haven’t used it in a while. Ditto with my clarisonic. The hair laser therapy is probably great but expensive. I like hearing from the experts.

    I had a clarisonic but eventually lost it and ended up loving to use my foreo luna. I agree that a lightstim is super helpful for skin repair. Ive actually used the device when i injured my hand in a weightlifting accident, lol. Id love to have the blue light therapy though since i still deal with acne.

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!
