Update on anti-aging home devices

This would be so cool. Really… if we could just treat ourselves with anti-aging home devices. The privacy of being at home would be nice, and in the long run maybe less expensive. I love that you’ve optimized your skin care regimen already. Here’s mine. In my opinion, here’s the problem in a nutshell. In order to get enough power in a device to really make changes in the skin, there is also a risk of damaging this skin. Devices like lasers, etc. must be used intelligently or problem occur from the them. The home devices have the same issue. Since device manufacturers aren’t dumb and they don’t want to get sued, they make the power on the devices low. None of the devices you mention above really have much power. They probably won’t hurt you, since they are FDA approved, but you won’t see much probably.

My bottom line:

  • They probably won’t hurt you.
  • They may waste your money and time.
  • It’s hard to do something every day/week when you don’t see a result. These devices tend to sit in the closet after a few months.
  • The marketing is better than the device usually.
  • Don’t do home microneedling. There are no microneedling devices, that I know of, approved in the U.S. for home use. Too many complications. Please see my last post on this subject.
  • If time and money are no object, go for it! 🙂
