Whether on TikTok or YouTube, you've probably seen influencers promoting at-home skincare gadgets, promising to get rid of fine lines or make your double chin disappear. And while certain devices can be effective, you might be nervous about adding something new to your skincare routine without the supervision of an esthetician.
Keep reading to learn more about the effectiveness of at-home skincare devices, as well as my picks for three of my personal favorites, and products that are safe to use with them!
When it comes to taking care of your skin, consistency is key. Whether that means applying routine microdermabrasion treatments or weekly LED sessions, at-home devices have made it easy to keep up with skincare practices that have traditionally happened in-office. Now, some fantastic at-home skincare devices are readily available on the market:
One of my go-to at-home skincare devices is the Omnilux Contour. This flexible face mask is equipped with medical-grade LED red and near-infrared light. I recommend clients use the Omnilux Contour three to five times a week for ten-minute increments — in just a few weeks, you'll notice reduced fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and redness, creating overall healthier, younger-looking skin. With no pain, side effects, or downtime, red light face mask therapy is one of the best at-home treatments out there.
PRO TIP: Pair with the CBE Botanicals Brighten the Day Serum
The very best skincare devices are easy to use, compact, and convenient... and the FOREO Bear 2 Microcurrent face device fits the bill! I love the FOREO Bear 2 for home and travel use, since it's rechargeable and small enough to hold in your hand. If you've started noticing the effects of aging on your skin, this facial lifting device could be perfect for you. You can use it on your face, neck, and decolletage to firm your skin, target and smooth lines, and improve muscle tone. Its proprietary T-Sonic™ pulsations boost circulation and reduce puffiness for a youthful, rested glow I haven't achieved with any other at-home facial toning device. (And who doesn't want that?!)
PRO TIP: Pair with the CBE Botanicals Mist + Conduct
Looking for a way to get spa-quality exfoliation at home? Add a microdermabrasion device to your at-home skincare arsenal! The MBK Microdermabrasion is a powerful device that exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and impurities. Beyond exfoliation, it has a vacuum lift system that increases blood flow to stimulate natural collagen production and reduce the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation. Perfect for glycated skin!
PRO TIP: Pair with the CBE Botanicals Hydrate + Conduct
My personal favorite at-home device is the Time Master Pro Ultrasound. It combines three powerful treatments in one convenient gadget: Low Frequency Ultrasound Therapy, EMS facial device, and LED therapy. The Ultrasound function is the strongest available on the market, and vibrates at 90,000 waves per second. This activates your skin's metabolism and regenerates skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. The EMS function helps tone, tighten, and smooth your skin with no down time. And since the Time Master Pro has red, blue, green, and infrared LED options, you can adjust the setting to exactly what you're looking for. (I love using blue light on my clients with acne-prone skin, while red and green are great for producing collagen and reducing the appearance of fine lines!)
PRO TIP: Pair with the House of PLLA Promoter Volumizing Gel
Skeptical about the results you can really get with at-home skincare devices? Don't be! While at-home gadgets might not provide the same powerful results as medical-grade equipment, using home skincare tools regularly (and correctly) can seriously improve your skin. (And you'll save time and money, too!)
Plus, just think about how far technology has come. As a practicing master esthetician for over two decades now, I'm thrilled to see how far devices have come, with new research, inventions, and innovations constantly popping up in the aesthetics industry.
Take a look at the improvements my clients have experienced with some of my favorite devices. The results speak for themselves!

The right at-home devices can take your personal skincare routine to a whole new level. If you feel intimidated by your new electronic facial device, consult with a trusted esthetician to make sure you feel comfortable, knowledgeable, and empowered.

Trying to keep our skin healthy and glowing is a lifelong process. It protects us, shields us, and defines us in a lot of ways! But every layer of the skin acts as our armor in a different way. On the very top, we all have a "skin barrier" that requires its own care for long-term health.
