Best at-home laser resurfacing & rejuvenation devices

Specific wavelengths of intense fractional or non-fractional laser energy applied to your skin.

Ageing skin slows down and builds weaker collagen and elastin overtime. This means skin that’s thinner, drier, dull, with less bounce, more wrinkles and pigmented spots than when your skin is fresh and young.

Lasers zap intense, focused light energy into your skin. Where it encounters water, it heats it up causing controlled, very small injuries. Your skin’s natural wound healing response, called neocollagenisis, then kicks in. This is where your cells start building more and stronger collagen and elastin fibres to repair the damage.

When the laser heats your skin cells, they release inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and prostaglandins. These chemical messengers control cell growth and collagen remodelling. So, they jumpstart your fibroblast cells and they then build bucket loads of skin-supporting proteins and hydrating sugar molecules throughout your dermis.

The result is more and stronger collagen and elastin fibres, and hydrated skin. These fibres tighten and rearrange leading to faded wrinkles, fresh, firm, smooth, moisturised and supple, younger-looking skin!

At-home devices create a very small amount of damage during each session. Therefore, it takes months of daily sessions to gradually freshen up all of your skin.

Laser resurfacing and rejuvenation origins are from non-invasive medical and cosmetic treatments offered in clinics.

Whilst a few independent clinical studies do exist, overall, there’s a lack of clinical evidence confirming the effectiveness of laser resurfacing and rejuvenation. Despite this sparse clinical evidence, several laser resurfacing manufacturers have gained FDA clearance for their professional machines. So, this is some good reassurance that approved machinery is safe and effective.

The FDA indicates cleared at-home devices for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles.
