Supercharge Your Skin Care
with Next-Level Tech
Whether you’re looking to help clear blemishes, smooth wrinkles, or firm your skin, the combination of results-oriented skin care and new, high-tech devices can be incredibly powerful.
Many skin-care devices are based in tech that started in the dermatologist’s office: Red and blue light, vibration, and electrical stimulation treatment devices all have counterparts in in the medical arena, and the idea is not to replicate those treatments exactly (many in-office treatments are too intense to do at home safely) but for the at-home versions to harness the power of treating skin daily or weekly to deliver results on their own or to build on results from in-office procedures.
Worked into a routine with high-performance skin care, these devices can fast-track the benefits you’re looking for in a way that simply using the devices or the products on their own might not. Below, our favorite tech-and-skin-care combinations for your glowiest, healthiest-looking skin.
Best For: Lifting and Depuffing
This incredible twenty-four-karat-gold-plated vibrating T-bar uses subtle vibrations to lift and sculpt; it feels amazing, like a firm massage, and the results—wrinkles smoothed, sagging firmed—last for the better part of a day (or night!). World-famous makeup artist Jillian Dempsey uses it to get her clients ready for the red carpet but recommends using it daily for ten to fifteen minutes for optimum results. It comes with ultrahydrating prebiotic eye sheet masks to further depuff and smooth: Roll right over the masks (start with a layer of face oil underneath it all) as you lift and sculpt your whole face, and the roller even helps drive all the goodness from the oil and the masks into your skin.

Best For: Sculpting and Brightening
Whether your skin is breakout-prone, combination, sensitive, or dry or you just want to look more lifted and glowy, this nanocurrent device aims to stimulate collagen and elastin to make anyone’s skin look brighter and more supple. Developed by legendary electric aesthetician Melanie Simon, it comes with a totally clean conductive gel—a nourishing, skin-coddling serum that’s a treatment in and of itself—that you apply generously before using. The device is incredibly easy and works with your phone to deliver seven targeted skincare treatments, seven full facials, or four long term treatment plans, each targeting a particular skin concern, from sagging and dullness to breakouts. You can do it day and night, weekly, or monthly—the results are incredible.

It combines microcurrent, red-light therapy, vibrating facial massage, and therapeutic warmth for smoother, softer, rejuvenated, and refreshed skin. It’s made with smart-touch activation (so you place the wand against your face to turn it on and remove it to turn it off), and the tip rotates so that it’s easier to maneuver to hard-to-reach spots. It’s also portable and rechargeable, so you can take it with you anywhere. Use it daily for five minutes for smooth, gorgeous, healthy-looking skin.
