Four key features to look for when choosing a beauty device
✅ #High frequency is a must, not an option
Well-known treatments like Ulthera, Thermage, and InMode all utilize radiofrequency energy to help tighten and contour the skin. It’s a feature that helps with the most basic skin concerns, which makes radiofrequency a must-have option on your device.
✅ A #LED you won’t want to miss
LED light reaches the mitochondria in skin cells and stimulates the production of ATP, which is responsible for cellular activation. Depending on the color of the LED (red, blue, green, etc.), it can help regenerate skin, improve elasticity, and reduce acne. If you’re looking for a device that emphasizes LEDs, make sure it has the right light for your skin concerns.
✅ Trending #Galvanic
Galvanic uses the polarity of electric current to promote the absorption of cosmetics. Because it pushes on the same poles, it works well with water-soluble products like pure vitamin C, niacinamide, and tranexamic acid. This means that it works well with moisturizing cosmetics, so you can use a galvanic device when your skin is dry.
✅ Fine and deep #ultrasound
While radiofrequency delivers heat energy to the dermis to stimulate collagen regeneration, ultrasound penetrates the fascia layer of the skin to increase blood circulation, reduce wrinkles, and increase skin elasticity. If a device has both radiofrequency and ultrasound, it scores a pass.
💆🏻♀️뷰티 Influencer Picks!
Beauty YouTuber Simtohl (@simtohl), who has spent over $100 million on dermatology and $10 million on beauty devices to take care of her skin, and YouTuber Jaina (@jaina__only), who has worked in marketing for brands such as L’Oréal, Shiseido, and Nars, have selected seven of their favorite beauty devices and tips for using them.
✔️피부에 I want to firm up! MediCube AgeR UltraTune 40 .68
The 40.68 in the name refers to the first megahertz flowing over 40MHz in Korea. It creates and promotes collagen strongly and quickly with energy of 40.68 million times per second. It evenly transfers heat between stratum corneum and basal layer to restore skin barrier and improve absorption. It feels like a beam of light is shooting through the skin. The default LED setting is red, but if you download and connect the app, you can use five different LEDs, including blue for pore care, orange for brightening care, and purple for enhanced absorption. $69.
Use with cosmetics from ✔️집에! Dalva Signature All Sera Double Shot
A combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound at an affordable price. It helps cosmetics absorb and improves elasticity, making it perfect for beauty device beginners. Radiofrequency, with 3 million shots of energy per shot, generates heat in the body to produce collagen in the skin tissue and create a lifting effect. Ultrasound, with 5 million pulses per shot, uses micro-vibrations to open up channels to penetrate active ingredients and improve circulation. It has a large surface area, so it has a good adhesion when used on the cheek area, but it is difficult to use a fine touch. Around $290.
✔️피부가 Recommended if you’re sensitive! Quadcera V1
It has similar power to LDM, a skin treatment that uses high-density ultrasound energy. If LDM usually costs 150,000 won per treatment, 10 treatments will pay for itself. It can be used daily even on severely troubled and super-sensitive skin, so it is relatively recommended for those who are afraid of the side effects of dermatological laser treatments. It stimulates the fat layer just below the stratum corneum, which helps the absorption of cosmetics. It regenerates the skin through cell activation, adds elasticity, and is excellent for solving quick dryness, eliminating the cause of narrow acne. 1.28 million won.
✔️리프팅 is great to use after a procedure! Lukins
It feels similar to Ultherapy, which utilizes HIFU energy. In addition, radiofrequency waves are delivered at the same time, similar to in-mode lifting. If you’ve experienced some pain during dermatologic procedures, the LUKINS device can be managed painlessly. It reaches the lower layer of the dermis with a depth of up to 4.5mm in Korea, and forms hot spots in the fascia layer. The effect is to moderately stimulate the skin to help it regenerate. It is suitable for people who are worried about their forehead, cheeks, and under-eyes. It is recommended for those who want to maintain long-lasting results after expensive dermatological procedures. 1.49 million won (based on the premium package).
✔️달아오른 Cool your skin down! LG Frail Intensive Multicore
Recently, Multicare launched the renewed Multicore. It has high frequency on the front, iontophoresis on the sides to penetrate microcurrents, and cooling on the back. You can also use all modes at once. It feels like an oligofrequency with a weaker intensity than thermage. With a total of three cooling modes, you can choose according to the situation, so it is good for reducing swelling in the morning or soothing hot skin in summer. It has a large surface area, so it is an advantage to use it coolly, but it can be stinging, so it is recommended to apply plenty of gel. 490,000 won.
✔️마스크팩과 It’s a match made in heaven! Dive for Way
An all-in-one beauty device that anyone can use. Dive For Way is equipped with four different functions: radiofrequency lifting care, iontophoresis booster, LED light therapy, and galvanic mask connector. The high-frequency lifting care works on fine lines, while the ion-iono booster, which provides an electronic pole, helps cosmetics penetrate better. The LED light therapy function with multi-wavelength red LED and IR (infrared) helps to tone and improve skin elasticity, and the galvanic mask connector absorbs the active ingredients of the mask pack evenly and deeply, adding moisturizing power. Retails for $960.
✔️얼굴 If you’re worried about lines, use it like a guasa ! Dr. Tangle Radiofrequency Massager
Its main functions are radiofrequency and LED. The titanium-treated head has a high conductivity of radiofrequency energy, which is effective in treating facial lines such as puffiness and puffiness. The multicolored LEDs can also be used for wrinkle reduction and whitening. The seven bumps on the device along with the galvanic ion current are recommended to be used like a gua sha. It improves skin texture, reduces pigmentation, stimulates the collagen layer, and improves elasticity. 280,000 won.
