4 new beauty gadgets of 2024 that are actually worth the buy
As beauty consumers, it can be difficult to navigate the often-overwhelming space of beauty gadgets. Devices promising instant results that mimic in-office treatments are aplenty, but what actually works and what doesn’t? We rounded up a list of four of 2024’s best beauty gadget launches that are worth the spend.
1. Therabody Theraface Depuffing Wand
You may be familiar with Therabody for their muscle-relieving massage guns, but the performance-based, science-backed wellness brand has come out with a new gadget within their beauty category: the Depuffing Wand. The wand is unique in that it offers both cool and hot therapy that you can customize based on your skin’s needs — use the cold to eliminate puffiness, reduce dark circles and minimize the look of pores, or switch to the heating mode to boost circulation, enhance your glow and increase the absorption of your other skincare products. Another thing adding to its cool factor? It has a contoured applicator to ensure you don’t miss a spot (including those hard-to-reach areas like the under eyes).
2. CARA Multi-Modal Tool
If you’re looking for a tool that clarifies breakout-prone skin, restores a healthy glow and delivers smoother, more even texture, this dermatologist-backed facial tool is a great option. Developed by Los Angeles-based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban, this versatile gadget is inspired by the efficacious cosmetic treatments you can get in-office, but with the added convenience of delivering the same results at home. CARA is best used at night and in combination with Althaea Skin’s topical skincare products — to use, work the tool around your face for 10 minutes (it’ll automatically turn off after completion) and enjoy plumper, more rejuvenated skin.
3. T3 SinglePass Smooth X
Hair lovers, rejoice. T3’s newest launch, the SinglePass Smooth X, is an upgraded tool featuring extra-long ceramic plates that styles more hair in a single pass, making it faster and easier to create your desired look — without any unnecessary heat exposure. The flat iron is also designed with a thoughtfully-constructed hinge for snag-free gliding, advanced technology for even heat distribution, and smooth, beveled plates for crease-free curls. Plus, there are nine heat settings to choose from and it comes in a beautiful satin blush shade.
4. Silk’n Titan MultiPlatform
Can’t make it to the derm’s office? Bring the derm’s office to you with this skin-rejuvenating laser therapy tool. It relies on three different technologies (infrared, low level laser therapy and bi-polar radio frequency) to tighten the skin and target common signs of aging across the forehead, crow’s feet and nasolabial folds. If you’re targeting a bigger treatment area (like the neck or decolletage), pop on the radiofrequency attachment, which provides a larger surface for increased coverage. There are four different energy levels to choose from (allowing you to customize your treatment to your desired intensity), and the tool automatically pauses heating at approximately 109°F to ensure the skin doesn’t overheat. Another thing we love? It comes with a handy storage case that makes it easy to travel with.
