At-home skincare devices are now widely available to consumers, from handheld light wands for acne and wrinkles to laser hair removal devices. While no at-home device can fully mimic the benefits of in-office treatments, dermatologists spoke with Everyday Health and HuffPost about which at-home devices are worth consideration.
Dermatologist Dr. Rachel Westbay told HuffPost that consumers can use at-home devices in place of in-office treatments for those who are unable to visit a dermatologist’s office or those who want a more affordable option. In addition, she said consumers can use at-home devices to maintain results from in-office treatments.
