We love our electronic beauty gadgets, especially when we get one as a gift, but we only want the ones that are really effective. Who wants to waste time and money on a beauty devices that don't do much for the skin?
Let's talk about four great beauty tools that really make your skin cleaner, clearer, smoother and younger looking, the NuFACE Trinity, the Tria SmoothBeauty Laser, the Emjoi Micro Pedi Callous Remover and the Foreo Luna Anti-aging and Skin Cleansing Brushes.
These beauty gadgets don't go on sale often but this is the time of year to maybe find a deal on Amazon. I provided some Amazon Affiliate links for your shopping convenience.
NuFACE Trinity is a device that uses a low level electrical current called microcurrent to stimulate facial muscles and stimulate production of collagen and elastin in the skin. It has three attachments the Facial Trainer which is the ball attachment included with the toning device, the ELE attachment for the lips and eyes and the Wrinkle Reducer attachment are sold separately.
It's safe, comfortable and FDA approved. Microcurrent passively stimulates the muscles. You do not feel a shock or muscle contraction, but you may feel a tingling feeling. Some people say that they experience a metal taste in their mouth during use. You can adjust the intensity level for your comfort. My clients who have used this device have seen a nice improvement in the firmness of their skin.

The Tria SmoothBeauty Laser is a laser you can use on yourself at home. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production with beams of light. The light causes injury to the skin below the surface without disturbing the surface of the skin. The skin heals the damaged tissue increasing collagen production.
The Tria uses the same technology as professional fractional non ablative laser treatments done in doctor's offices and Med Spas. It's a pricey device but is tremendously less expensive than laser treatments done in a doctors office or med spa.
It is FDA approved for use on the face and on all skin colors. It has three safety features built into it making it very safe to use at home. It beeps to let you know it's time to move to a different area, it has an automatic shut off when the process is complete and it will shut off if improper contact is being made with the skin. There is also a locking feature that can be enabled when the device is not in use.
Use the laser 5 days a week for a 12 week treatment period all over your face including the under eye area. Start another 12 week treatment when you feel your skin needs it. The Tria gives the option of 3 strengths. Start on the lowest level 1 training level strength and let your skin adjust to it, try level 2 then level 3 according to your comfort level. Use your Tria at night so any redness fades away by morning. Use a sunscreen with a 30 SPF or higher during the day to protect the skin from sun damage.
Check with your doctor if you get other cosmetic treatments on your skin including peels, injectable fillers or laser resurfacing. Do not use if you are pregnant, under 18, have any significant skin conditions or medical conditions. Do not use the laser on tattoos or permanent makeup or on skin that is burned, cut or infected.
How to use
Cleanse your face well removing all makeup and sunscreen then pat dry.
Apply the laser flat on your skin and glide over your face section by section as directed. The face is divided into 4 zones. Each zone is treated until the device beeps.
Apply a nourishing serum.
The Review
A fellow esthetician friend of mine, who actually has been trained to use lasers in a dermatologist's office, uses this Tria home laser on herself and has had nice skin firming results. Her skin really looks amazing!
She found she needs to use the laser on the lowest setting on her sensitive skin most of the time. She started on the lowest setting and worked her way up to the highest setting during the 12 week treatment but had too much stinging, sensitivity and lingering redness. She sticks to the lowest and middle setting and still has great results.
I find her skin is noticeable firmer and the expression lines on her face are barely visible after her treatments. Many people say this laser has help their pigmentation spots fade away. My friend doesn't have pigmentation spots so I can't attest to that.
The SmoothBeauty Laser sells for $495.00
