To start finding the best anti-aging tools you need to understand your skin type and medical limitations. And before trying any of the tools discussed, carefully take precautions. If you want to rejuvenate your skin, but refuse to go through surgical facelifts, the following anti-aging tools are a much safer (and cheaper) alternative.
Ultrasound (Ultrasonic)

Ultrasonic anti-aging tools are starting to emerge, even for home-based routines, and the details are extremely intriguing. The ultrasound basically sends heat energy to a particular location in the dermal layer of your skin. This causes a small “wound” and the body responds by creating more collagen, which is what helps tighten your skin, to fix the problem. This technique is also FDA approved and completely safe.
Microcurrent facials

Microcurrent anti-aging tools use a small electrical current to increase blood circulation and cell repair rate, as well as collagen and elastin production. The electrical pulses tone facial muscles, which help to tighten skin, and the Microcurrent facials are painless. They are among the best anti-aging tools, but should be avoided by pregnant women, those suffering from epilepsy and individuals with a pacemaker.
Infrared light and phototherapy

Infrared anti-aging tools work by directing artificial light to the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates cell regeneration. It can also help reduce inflammation and boost collagen and elastin production (to tighten the skin). Different light colors are used to treat various skin issues; the most common colors with these types of anti-aging tools are red and blue (orange, green, yellow also used). The process is safe, however children and people who have suffered from skin cancer should avoid this type of device.
Radio frequency

This anti-aging tool uses radio waves to heat the skin’s deepest layer. Like many of the other tools, this boosts collagen production and helps to tighten the skin. The radio frequency also results in fewer wrinkles, but it not recommended for people with pacemakers or metal implants of any kind.
Beauticians and doctors use similar anti-aging tools, but you must understand that the models created for home use are slightly less powerful than the ones used at the salon or office. This does not mean they will not help, only that the effect may not be as desired. So have fun, be safe, and start using the best new anti-aging tools today!
