There’s nothing quite like a visit to the spa to look and feel your best. And while going to the spa is especially rejuvenating and relaxing, you can enjoy many of the same benefits ot spa treatments right from the comfort of home. Here’s how to achieve spa-like results at home in a fraction of the time (and cost!) as traditional spa treatments.
What Happens to Our Skin as We Age?
Just like the rest of your body, your skin undergoes changes as you age. Your skin cells renew more slowly, and skin loses collagen and elastin leading to less elasticity and loss of firmness. These changes are due to natural aging, sun damage, and other external stressors.
An aesthetician or spa practitioner can help you address these signs of skin aging in the spa - from hydro facials to peels and microdermabrasion. Luckily, you can also treat loss of firmness, laxity, and uneven skin texture at home to treat your skin and mimic the same results.
What Technologies Do Spas Use?
You can cleanse your skin, use a hydrating mask, do an ‘everything shower,’ and slather your body in kaolin clay and sugar scrubs at home, but to yield the most impressive results, consider using more high-tech treatments.
Red Light Therapy
LED light therapy has been used in medicine for decades to promote wound healing and manage pain. Now, it’s available at your favorite spa and even at home for cosmetic, therapeutic uses. LED therapy for skin utilizes different wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin, helping smooth lines and refine the skin with a non-invasive treatment technique.
Different light colors are used for other skin concerns. For instance, blue light is often recommended for helping manage blemishes, while red light is considered the gold standard for helping fade lines associated with the early signs of aging. To get the ultimate skin-loving light treatment, look for a device that uses amber, red, and infrared light, like the FDA-Cleared TRINITY+ Wrinkle Reducer Attachment.
Microcurrent Therapy
Microcurrent therapy is another technology adopted by the medical community and used by aestheticians and medical spas. Microcurrent uses a low-level electrical current to target the skin and the underlying facial structures that support it. It’s safe, effective, and offers a non-invasive approach to addressing skin concerns like loss of resilience, firmness, and fine lines and wrinkles.
You can utilize red light and microcurrent at home in as little as five minutes daily with the right tools.
What Are the Best Tools for Spa-Like Skincare Results?
You can get results just like the pros at home using NuFACE Devices. Combined with powerful NuFACE skincare products, giving yourself a spa day every day is easy and convenient.
1. NuFACE MINI+ or NuFACE TRINITY+
Adding a microcurrent treatment to your daily skincare routine is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Using either your NuFACE MINI+ Device or your NuFACE TRINITY+ Device, follow these easy steps to deliver spa-quality microcurrent to your skin.
1. Cleanse. Using NuFACE Prep-N-Glow® Facial Wipes, cleanse the skin to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Flip the towelette and use the lightly textured side to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin that could be causing dullness.
Spritz Supercharged IonPlex® Facial Mist onto the skin to enhance hydration and prepare for your microcurrent treatment.
2. Boost. Apply a few drops of your favorite NuFACE Ionized Super Booster to your fingers and gently massage into your skin until fully absorbed.
3. Activate and lift. Before using your device, apply your favorite NuFACE Microcurrent Activator to the area you’ll be treating. It’s best to apply it in a mask-like layer, and the Clean Sweep Activator Brush makes it easy to apply your Microcurrent Activator evenly on your skin. Turn on your microcurrent Device and begin performing glides and holds on your skin to lift, tone, and contour.
For delicate areas of the skin around the eyes and mouth, try the TRINITY+ and Effective Lip & Eye Attachment. This attachment helps you target the delicate skin under eyes, in between brows, and around the lips with gentle microcurrent using a precisely spaced dual-prong attachment.
2. NuBODY
Taking care of the skin on your body is just as important as taking care of the skin on your face. NuFACE NuBODY® is the FDA-cleared, aesthetician-developed device that targets the skin on your body to tone, lift, and tighten.
Use NuBODY to target skin on the arms, legs, abs, and booty, smoothing the appearance of dimples. You can use the same steps to use NuFACE NuBODY as you do for using your favorite NuFACE facial toning device.
3. TRINITY+ Wrinkle Reducer Attachment
Give your skin a relaxing, radiance-enhancing red light treatment with NuFACE TRINITY+ Wrinkle Reducer Attachment. This device fits perfectly onto your NuFACE TRINITY+ device and allows you to get the same LED light therapy treatment you enjoy at the spa right in the comfort of your home. Simply press the attachment onto clean, dry skin and let the amber, red and infrared LED go to work. This technology has been clinically proven to help promote cell turnover and enhance collagen production to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing your overall complexion.
