What kind of facial device is recommended?

There are many people who know thatfacial skincare devicehas positive effects on the skin, but they may feel that it is too expensive.

Like beauty salons, facial equipment is often thought of as a luxury item. However, they are actually much more cost-effective than going to a beauty salon because they can pinpoint your skin problems.

In this article, we will introduce the different types of facial equipment and recommendations for different problems.

What is a facial device?

A facial device is a device that approaches not only the skin but also the muscles of the face, leading to a more beautiful skin. You don't need to go to an esthetician or a clinic to take care of your skin, but you can use a facial device to take care of your skin at home. Going to an esthetician on a regular basis tends to be a burden both in terms of schedule and money. If you are not able to take care of your skin because of this burden, then you should definitely use a facial device.

There are different types of facial equipment with different features and effects, so if you know what to look for, you can pinpoint your skin problems. Just having one can be very useful.

What are the functions of a facial device?

There are actually many types of facial equipment. There are those that remove dirt from the skin, those that approach the muscles of the face, and those that improve the penetration of lotion.

If the functions of a facial device do not match with your skin problems, you will not be able to get satisfactory results even if you continue to take care of your skin. In order to make the most of your facial device, it is important to know what it can do for you.

There are four main types, which I will introduce below.

Cleansing and peeling

The terms "cleansing" and "peeling" have the meanings of "removing dirt" and "stripping" respectively. As the name implies, a facial cleanser with a cleansing/peeling function is one that is equipped with the ability to remove dirt from the skin.

You have probably seen some face washes and other products that contain scrubs. In the case of face washes, the scrub gets into the pores and removes dirt. In facial cleansers, the vibration and steam are applied to the skin to make it easier to remove dirt.

Some are waterproof and can be used in the bath, while others can be used before makeup as a way to rehydrate the skin, so choose the item that best suits your lifestyle.

Introduction and penetration

A facial device with an "introduction/penetration" function is expected to make the beauty ingredients contained in toner or serum penetrate the skin more effectively.

If the skin is not in good condition, the beauty ingredients will not be able to penetrate deep into the skin. Facial equipment with the function of introduction and penetration helps to deliver the beauty ingredients to the keratinized layer of the skin deep inside.

This makes it easier for collagen and hyaluronic acid, which could not be delivered by hand, to reach the skin, making it more supple.

Vibration and stimulation

Facial appliances with vibration and stimulation functions use ultrasonic waves or electromagnetic waves. Some are actually used in beauty salons, and are characterized by their ability to work on muscles such as facial expressions.

As we age, our concerns and worries about sagging skin and wrinkles increase. By vibrating and stimulating the facial muscles, you can loosen and strengthen the muscles that tend to be stiff and lift up the skin.

However, some facial equipment with stimulation functions can irritate the skin, so those with weak or irritation-sensitive skin should be careful.

Optical Esthetics

Optical esthetics uses LED lights. It is said to have a beautiful effect on the skin by applying light to the deeper layers of the skin. The light improves blood circulation, improves skin texture, and brings out a sense of transparency.

There are several types of light depending on the color, and they vary from anti-aging, acne scar reduction, and dullness.

By choosing the right color of light for your concerns, you will be able to achieve a specialized treatment for your problems.

Choose the right facial device for your skin problems.

Each type of facial device has a different approach to different problems. Whether you want to treat a sagging face or get rid of blackheads and dirt in your pores, everyone has different skin problems.

Those that approach the muscles have the effect of lifting the face by relaxing and strengthening the facial muscles. However, for those who want to remove dirt from their pores, it will not solve their problems even if it makes their skin more elastic.

It is important to know what your problems are and choose a facial device that can properly approach your problems, rather than starting to choose a facial device carelessly.

If you are concerned about your facial lines, I recommend a facial device with a "vibration and stimulation" function.

If you are concerned about your facial lines, we recommend a facial device with a vibration and stimulation function such asL&L Skin MIO2 Facial Massager.

Facial appliances with a vibration function use an electromagnetic wave called radio frequency (RF). This is a vibration function that is also used in beauty salons. RF raises the body temperature and works on the inside of the skin, making it firmer and lifting the face line.

On the other hand, electric stimulation (EMS) is used for stimulation. The weak electric current works on the muscles of the face. It's a little tingling and painful, but it stimulates the facial muscles and helps to address sagging and double chin.

The vibration and the stimulation have different approaches, but both give the skin a firmness that is perfect for those who want to take care of their facial lines.

For those who are concerned about dryness, I recommend a facial device with an "introduction and penetration" function.

If you suffer from chronic skin dryness, try choosing a facial device with an introduction/penetration function. An introduction-type facial device is characterized by a weak electric current that makes it easier for beauty ingredients such as lotion to penetrate the skin.

Have you ever felt that your skin does not absorb lotion well when you are cleaning it? Even if you are using an expensive lotion or essence, it would be a shame if the beauty ingredients don't get into your skin.

A facial device with an "introduction/penetration" function can deliver the beauty ingredients contained in lotion and other products deep into the skin. By allowing the beauty ingredients to penetrate into the stratum corneum, it prevents the skin from drying out.

If you want to take care of aging skin, I recommend a facial device with a "red LED" function.

If you are concerned about your skin's sagging and lack of elasticity due to age, a facial device with a red LED function is recommended.

There are different colors of LEDs such as red, blue, and green, but red is the color that penetrates into the skin the most. The red color is the one that penetrates the skin the most, and is said to be effective in eliminating lack of elasticity because it also plays a role in raising the skin's metabolism and allowing collagen to penetrate the skin.

If you are concerned about sagging and wrinkles on your face as you age, try looking for a facial device with or without red LED.

If you are concerned about your pores, we recommend a facial device with a "cleansing and peeling" function.

If you are concerned about the dirt in your pores, we recommend choosing a facial device that has a cleansing and peeling effect.

However, facial appliances with cleansing and peeling functions can be broadly divided into steam facial appliances and ultrasonic facial appliances, and each type has different characteristics.

Steam facial appliances can heat up the entire face with steam. This makes it easier to open the pores and remove dirt that could not be removed by hand alone. Also, the steam can moisturize the skin.

In contrast, ultrasonic facial equipment lifts dirt from the skin by applying high-speed vibrations to the skin. They lift dirt from the skin, making it easier to remove dirt from the pores. Also, since it vibrates the skin, a massaging effect can be expected.

Most of the time, stiff skin is caused by dirt and dead skin cells in the pores. If you want to get rid of stiffness and dullness, try picking up a facial device that can approach pore dirt.

Recommended Facial Skincare Product

Now that you know the various types and features of facial equipment, you may be wondering what kind of products are actually available! I'm sure some of you are wondering what kind of products are actually available.

When you actually take a look at the products, you may find it hard to choose because there are so many different products with the same features of facial equipment.

So here is an introduction to what products are available for each problem you want to approach. Please refer to them according to your own skin concerns.

Recommended for people who are concerned about their face lines

If you are concerned about your facial lines, check to see if your facial device has a "vibration/stimulation" function. Vibration/stimulation works on the muscles of your face, so you can expect a lifting effect as your facial muscles are strengthened.

However, even if it is the same "vibration/stimulation," the features vary greatly from facial equipment to facial equipment. Some use gel, some warm up the skin, and some can be used hands-free. It is recommended that you choose one that will give you the desired effect in addition to lifting, and that you consider when you want to use it.
