Devices

Gone are the days where skin care just meant products. As technology has advanced and the world has gotten more and more skin-smart, the rocketing trend of skincare tools and devices has continued to grow. While your homecare toolkit will never replace the professional strength actives, treatments and results found in an in-clinic treatment, it can work as a brilliant way to enhance and maintain skin health results in between regular treatments and to compliment prescribed and active O COSMEDICS at-home skin routines. Skin care devices can also complement and enhance the effectiveness of skincare products by optimising product absorption, providing targeted treatment, promoting circulation, and offering customisation and convenience to suit your preferences.

Skin care devices can enhance the effectiveness of skincare products in several ways:

• Improved Absorption - Some skincare tools, such as facial gua shas, derma rollers, face massagers, sonic cleansing brushes and led devices can help improve the absorption of skincare products by aiding in their penetration into the skin for better efficacy.

• Enhanced Exfoliation – Exfoliating skin care devices like facial cleansing brushes can provide a more thorough and consistent exfoliation than manual methods alone. By removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, these skincare tools help to unclog pores, refine skin texture, and improve the absorption of subsequent skincare products, such as serums and moisturisers.

• Stimulation of Blood Circulation – Skin care devices that incorporate massage or microcurrent technology can help stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, promoting a healthier complexion and reducing puffiness, redness, and inflammation. Improved circulation can also enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, boosting overall skin health and vitality.

• Targeted Treatment - Certain skin care devices, such as LED devices or high-frequency tools, can provide targeted treatment for specific skin concerns. LED light therapy, for example, uses different wavelengths of light to address various skincare issues, including acne, inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and aging. High-frequency devices use electrical currents to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen production.

• Customisation and Personalisation – Skin care devices offer the opportunity for customisation and personalisation of your skincare routine. Many skincare tools such as O-Rejuv LED device come with multiple settings or attachments that allow you to tailor the treatment to your specific skin type, concerns, and preferences. This flexibility ensures that you can adapt your skincare routine as needed to achieve optimal results.
