This morning on “Today’s Consumer,” we’re diving into the world of anti-aging devices, which are making a splash on social media. Many products, like red light therapy tools, promise to smooth fine lines and improve overall skin health. We spoke with experts to understand their effectiveness.

One highly-rated device is the red light wand, priced around $135. It combines red light therapy with warmth, with users reporting improved skin texture, reduced puffiness, and fewer blemishes. Results typically appear within four to six weeks of regular use, making it a convenient addition to your skincare routine.

Next is the New Face Mini, which uses microcurrent technology to lift and contour the face. Users should apply a conductive gel to feel a tingling sensation. For noticeable results, it’s recommended to use it five times a week for the first two months, then maintain with two to three sessions weekly.

The pricier option is the Theraface, which combines blue light therapy, microcurrents, and a warming feature for pain relief. It’s the only device offering a massage function and has impressive feedback, with 94% of users experiencing healthier skin after a year of use.

While these devices can be beneficial, dermatologists emphasize the importance of thorough research beyond social media hype. They suggest understanding device specifications and noting any potential reactions, especially if pre-existing health conditions are present. Consulting with a physician is crucial before starting any new treatment.

For those considering home devices, professionals suggest they complement rather than replace in-office treatments, which often yield quicker results. Consistency is key; neglecting regular use could lead to wasted investment and electronics collecting dust.

Ultimately, while some devices may add value to your skin care regimen, it’s essential to find what works best for you—whether that’s a mask, a wand, or professional treatments.
