I get introduced to a ton of beauty devices that promise to smooth out wrinkles, add collagen to your skin, aid in hair loss, and other cosmetic concerns. They are meant to use at home but some are better than others.
A beauty device is often a wand or gadget that you charge up and use on your face. Several kinds of at-home therapeutic devices can be used to achieve these results.
As an older woman over 60 with plenty of skincare flaws, I wanted to see if they really worked for me. Below are some of the skin and haircare tools I believe are worth considering.
Red light therapy devices
Red Light Therapy exposes you to low doses of red or near-infrared light that generates heat. Its purpose is to repair skin, boost new cell growth, and enhance and rejuvenate the skin. This technology has been used in medical and scientific fields for decades. When choosing a red-light therapy device, look for FDA approval, single-color LEDs, price, and wavelengths in the 630nm range. These devices are safe to use at their recommended doses.
Solawave 4-in1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand
The Solawave 4-in1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand is a portable device that has been trending on social media. It’s about as big as a toothbrush and easy to take with you when you travel. The wand combines four non-invasive skincare treatments that include red light therapy, galvanic current, facial massage, and therapeutic warmth.
Once you charge the device in a USB outlet and are ready to use it, apply a water-based serum or moisturizer to your face as a conductor. Turn on the wand and glide it in upward movements on your face. After you are done, smooth on your favorite moisturizer. Be careful not to leave the wand in one position on your face for more than a few seconds.
I found that the facial massage and therapeutic warmth modes on this device are most beneficial to me as a woman over 60. Both therapies increase collagen production which restores radiance to the skin and decreases puffiness.
The Solawave 4-in1 device can also help to smooth out a bad Botox treatment over time. I keep seeing monster overly Botoxed faces on older actresses on TV, so this is a good thing.
The device has a 100% guarantee and you can get a full refund up until 30 days after purchase if not satisfied.

LaDuora Duo Scalp and Haircare Device
The LaDuora Duo is a 4-in-1 pod-based scalp and haircare device that utilizes red light therapy. It will give your scalp a gentle and relaxing massage as well as electrical stimulation that increases circulation to encourage hair growth. It is used with a pod of liquid ingredients that rejuvenate and nourish your hair. I love the massage aspect of it as well as the scalp treatment. If I had headaches, I believe it would be helpful as well.

Radio Frequency devices for skincare
Radio Frequency as a beauty treatment focuses on repairing and renewing the epidermis to make it appear tighter, firmer, and plumper. At-home treatments deliver low-frequency magnetic waves that generate heat. This stimulates new skin cell production as well as collagen and elastin.
Nebulyft RFMEMS Beauty Device
I have been using my Nebulyft RFMEMS Beauty Device for a while now. It works with radio frequency for anti-aging, and skin tightening, and erases eye bags, wrinkles, and acne marks. You can combine it with red light therapy or micro-needling, but not with Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (LPL) or laser therapy.
The Nebulyft requires a water-based serum or moisturizer as a conductor and comes with its own gel. However, you can also use your favorite serum. When you first begin to use it adjust the settings to level 1 or 2. You can raise the level if your skin is not sensitive but it is not necessary. Keep moving it around your face to prevent a burn. I have never found it to be too hot but I keep the setting low just in case.
Each treatment takes about 10 minutes. The company states that you can use it every day, but skin care experts online recommend using it about twice a month.
If you compare the cost to how much you would spend at an esthetician’s office, it will pay off in the long run.

Micro Infuser Technology
Droplette 2 Micro Infuser
The Droplette 2 is an easy-to-use skin misting tool developed by 2 MIT chemical engineers and endorsed by NASA. It was originally meant to deliver medication for a rare skin disease called epidermolysis bullosa, but it was found to be effective in infusing skincare formulas such as vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and peptides. The beauty device works by deeply penetrating the skin layer.
Rather than use invasive needles the Droplette 2 is contact-free and effective.
You can order capsules depending on your skin’s needs that come in boxes of 30.

I also did a short video of my results after using the Droplette 2 for 30 days. You can watch it here.

Before you use any at-home therapy device . . .
You should always speak to your doctor before trying any of these devices if you have certain medical conditions. Do not use them if you are wearing a Pacemaker, Watchman, or another type of medical implant, have a heart condition, or overactive bladder.
