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.

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too. 

Dress and topper are on sale!🎉

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!
