Acne Treatment Devices For At-Home Use

The quest to clear skin may seem like an impossible battle, but there are ways to get your complexion back to a more even state.acne treatment device Acne treatment devices help to kill acne-causing bacteria, boost your skin's cell renewal, and reduce inflammation. These blemish-fighting gadgets can be used at home, and are especially helpful when paired with other effective skincare products such as serums that contain exfoliating ingredients or antibacterial properties.

The best acne device for at-home use is the FOREO ESPADA, a blue light device that targets breakouts by penetrating deep below the surface of your skin and killing the bacteria that causes inflammation. It's also completely pain-free, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. Simply press the device against your blemish and use for 30 seconds, then repeat up to 4 times. The device also has a built-in skin sensor that activates upon contact with the skin, and an integrated rechargeable battery for up to 240 treatments.

If you suffer from more inflammatory acne, try a LED light therapy device such as the ClearLight. This therapeutic light therapy treatment targets the underlying acne-causing bacteria and is noninvasive and pain free. Patients sit under the device for 20 minutes, and a typical session is recommended to be repeated every week or two for the duration of your inflammatory acne.

You can get a similar at-home facial experience by using this high-frequency acne wand from StackedSkincare, which uses argon gas-filled electrodes to penetrate the skin and create oxygen in the pores. The oxygen kills bacteria, and the wand helps to plump the skin (making it appear less puffy). Before using this acne treatment device, cleanse the face, and then apply a serum—Worden recommends one with epidermal growth factors, like her StackedSkincare EGF Activating Serum, $149 or Nurse Jamie EGF Platinum 3 Restorative Facial Elixir, $198.

If you have cysts or nodules, your dermatologist might prescribe a more powerful treatment with oral or topical medications. For mild to moderate acne, these devices can make a huge difference in the appearance of your skin.

This device, which is also available in a black color, emits red and blue light that targets acne and has been clinically proven to improve the condition of your skin without chemicals or prescriptions. It's also clinically shown to control acne and blemishes, as well as improve your skin's tone, texture, and smoothness. The device is completely painless, and you can use it on your face and neck. However, it's important to talk with your dermatologist first before trying any new treatments, and to mention any meds you're taking, including oral or topical acne meds, to prevent potential side effects. You should also avoid red light treatments if you have sunburn or a history of skin cancer. It's also not recommended to use these devices if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have any skin issues such as psoriasis or rosacea.
