Generally, as you age, your skin produces less collagen and elastin, and it’s more prone to becoming dry or dehydrated. So, if you have mature skin, everything in your regimen should be gentle and non-irritating, including any devices that you use. “Mature skin is often thinner with decreased collagen and is more prone to injury,” says Jennifer Herrmann, MD, a board-certified dermatologist.
When you go for shopping skin-care devices, you need to be very mindful. Stay away from all the devices that can potentially go harsh with your skin or affect it in ll different directions.“When treating mature skin, something you always want to keep in mind is to make sure you’re not pulling or rubbing the skin too harshly,” says Lisa Guidi, esthetician and founder of Erase Spa in New York City, noting that this can lead to irritation.

The best beauty devices for aging skin

Dr. Herrmann is a fan of this at-home micro needling device for mature skin types. “Microneedling and [this device’s] LED light help to stimulate collagen synthesis, and also helps other topical products penetrate the skin’s outer barrier more effectively,” she says. The teeny needles ignite your skin’s natural healing process, which is how you get a boost in collagen production, and using it regularly can help even out your complexion and smooth uneven texture.

Another collagen-stimulating device is the NuFace, which Guidi recommends to help address fine lines. “Microcurrent therapy helps rejuvenate the skin and help with the skin’s natural collagen production,” she says. It works by sending current through your skin to stimulate collagen-building proteins, and it also results in a more toned, de-puffed, and sculpted face (since it works the muscles).

Guidi likes using a vibrating face massage bar like this one to supplement with a microcurrent device. “This uses high-frequency vibration to quickly relax facial muscles,” she says, adding that it helps with lymphatic drainage massage. You’ll reap similar benefits to a jade roller, but the vibration gives an added boost to the facial contouring effect, especially if used regularly.
