4 luxury at-home beauty gadgets that are transforming skincare, from an LED light therapy face mask seen on Netflix show Emily in Paris, to a device that uses an electrical current – a Kim Kardashian fave

“There are many cheap ‘me-too’ products that are typical of people following success, but you should always check on the regulatory side,” says Laurence Newman, CEO at CurrentBody, a platform specialising in beauty tech devices for home use. “Does it have FDA [approval], for example? Who sells the product? Often the price itself is a giveaway as quality, effective and safe devices are not cheap to develop or manufacture.”

Read on to learn more about the gadgets most experts recommend, as they’re not only good investments but will also deliver actual, noticeable results.

7 Asian-American women elevating modern skincare

1. CurrentBody LED light therapy face mask

There’s a chance you saw this revolutionary gadget on an episode of the Netflix show Emily in Paris. This fully flexible LED mask claims to provide your skin with red and near-infrared light wavelengths to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by 35 per cent in a matter of four weeks.

Designed to be used for 10 minutes five days a week, it’s supposed to help kick-start your skin’s collagen production to stimulate cell renewal, boost circulation and increase cell oxygenation for a noticeable healthier-looking complexion. “Aside from the simplicity of use, it’s for all skin types, and you see both an instant glow in 10 minutes as well as long-term results on fine lines and wrinkles when used consistently,” Newman explains.

2. Lyma Laser

The Lyma takes skincare gadgets a step further. This laser wand is the world’s first medical-grade at-home laser device, merging four powerful antibacterial blue LED lights with a laser beam to help restore skin at a cellular level instead of merely grazing over the surface.

Its power lies in its capacity to trigger a genetic switch inside your skin cells to help them recharge, regenerate and repair. “The Lyma Laser works in a way topical skincare simply can’t,” says Lyma founder Lucy Goff. “The laser works on both levels of the skin ageing process. Intrinsically, it reaches deep down into the base layer of the dermis. Extrinsically, the light energy of the Lyma Laser instructs the existing cells to produce more proteins to fight free radicals. Less free radicals equals more collagen and elastin.”

3. TheraFace Pro

Known as the “Dyson Airwrap for your face”, this skin-stimulating, relaxing tool combines the best of a massage and pro treatments all in one. This gadget features interchangeable heads, including a microcurrent attachment, percussive therapy attachments, a cleansing ring and LED light therapy, which is why it’s considered one of the most multifaceted devices out there.

Ideal for reducing tension, relaxing facial muscles, boosting skin tone and deeply cleansing your face, the TheraFace Pro allows you to combine and customise a wide variety of facial health treatments all at once.

4. Ziip

Like the CurrentBody LED Mask, the Ziip Beauty GX device uses two types of electrical currents to boost skin tone. A favourite of celebs like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston, according to the company, this anti-ageing device offers a broad range of treatments you can unlock through its linked app. “It even has a world-class aesthetician on your personalised app talking you through treatments,” Newman says.

With a single device, you’ll get access to seven full facials and targeted quick treatments, nine legacy treatments and four long-term treatment plans.
