9 High-Tech Facial Tools to Up Your Beauty Game This Season

Palm-size computers and intelligent phones continue to transform lives in ways large and small—from morning commutes to sleep patterns. Of course, that extends to beauty routines, too, as a new wave of clever high-tech facial tools transforms our skin—no trip to the dermatologist’s office required. From a collagen-producing microneedling tool to a powerful bacteria-fighting light, here, nine devices that prove the future of beauty is now.

Sculpting

Mimic the hands of Hollywood’s most in-demand facialists with these sculpting tools that contour cheekbones, massage and lift heavy eyebrows, and de-puff the eye area. Bonus points to those who toss ReFa’s latest facial shaper into the freezer for a jolt of cooling and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Resurfacing

Prepare for a complete overhaul with the latest crop of retexturizing gadgets. Nurse Jamie and GloPro’s microneedling instruments use steel targeted, delicate tips to tighten and decrease fine lines by creating microscopic “wounds” in the skin’s surface that trigger a fresh supply of collagen; meanwhile, Ziip’s handheld device (developed by celebrity go-to Melanie Simon) harnesses the power of gentle electrical currents to boost cellular energy—and improve acne, elasticity, and pore size over time.

Brightening

Poly Glo’s hardworking LED devices treat a range of issues in just 10 minutes or less. Blue light decreases acne flare-ups, red stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and helps reduce hyperpigmentation, while yellow decreases inflammation and can even soothe sore muscles. Dr. Dennis Gross delivers similarly potent benefits with a hands-free mask made for Netflix-ing marathons. And going one step beyond, top New York City dermatologist Ellen Marmur has created a line of targeted sheet masks that become that much more potent when worn in conjunction with her new state-of-the-art light machine—consider the 360-degree disc fall’s best skin-care bet.
