Top Facial Machines to Consider

Microcurrent Machines – Often called the “non-surgical facelift,” microcurrent therapy uses low-level electrical currents to tone facial muscles, lift sagging skin, and stimulate collagen production. It’s perfect for anti-aging treatments.

Galvanic Facial Machines – Utilise electrical currents to deeply cleanse and infuse serums into the skin. The desincrustation function softens blackheads for extraction, while iontophoresis enhances serum penetration for nourishment.

High-Frequency Machines – Ideal for acne-prone skin, high-frequency therapy uses a gentle electrical current to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It also boosts circulation for a glowing complexion.

6. Wax Heaters

Waxing remains one of the most in-demand treatments. A high-quality wax heater ensures consistent temperature control, leading to a smoother, more comfortable waxing experience. Read our recent guide on How to Choose the Right Wax Heater
