Technology
Hydrodermabrasion
Professional fluid-assisted exfoliation systems depend on a specified platform, tips, solutions and maintenance process. Ask about the whole consumables and service arrangement.
Technology
Intense pulsed light
IPL uses a range of light wavelengths and is distinct from a laser. Home hair-removal devices and professional IPL platforms have different intended users and instructions.
Technology
LED light
LED devices use light-emitting diodes. Wavelength, intended use, coverage and the complete exposure system matter; LED counts alone do not establish equivalence.
Technology
Laser
Professional laser platforms use specified wavelengths and delivery systems. Platform names, applicators and configurations must be identified before comparing a quotation.
Technology
Microcurrent
Microcurrent facial devices use low-level electrical current through contact electrodes. Compatible conductive products and the manufacturer’s restrictions are part of the system.
Technology
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion devices use mechanical exfoliation, sometimes with suction. Disc or tip selection and manufacturer restrictions are essential parts of the product instructions.
Technology
Multiple technologies
Some devices combine several technologies or interchangeable attachments. Evaluate each function separately and check what is actually included in the package.
Technology
RF microneedling
RF microneedling combines needles and radiofrequency energy. The FDA describes it as a medical procedure, warns of serious complications with certain uses and advises against home use.
Technology
Radiofrequency
RF is a broad technology label. Non-invasive contact applicators and RF microneedling are different device categories with different risks and operator requirements.
Technology
Sonic cleansing
Sonic cleansing devices move a contact surface to assist a cleansing routine. Surface material, cleaning instructions and replaceable parts are useful ownership considerations.
