If you’re looking for high-tech, top-of-the-line beauty gadgets, well, start aspiring for the items here. Here are some of the more widespread (and wacky) gadgets from the fast-expanding field of Digital Age appearance aids.
- Safetox pitches itself as a safe and painless alternative to botox. The blue plastic headband purports to relax the muscles in the central and upper portion of the face, thus reducing wrinkles. The product works by transmitting electronic impulses to the target muscles via an adhesive patch worn between the eyes. Several weeks of twice-daily-five-minute sessions are suggested, after which maintenance sessions are required.
- Freeze 24-7 & Go Run this sleek little gadget across your forehead and it might look like you’ve found a strange new use for your MP3 player. Actually, the freeze 24-7 & Go supposedly delivers a metered dosage of age-defying salve, promising to brighten skin; reduce the appearance of enlarged pores; highlight and contour eyes, brow bones and cheek bones; soften fine lines, furrows and crow’s feet; and help defend skin against environmental aggressors, including pollution.
- Zeno A new battery-operated device, it utilizes precisely controlled heat to destroy the bacteria that causes common acne, dramatically reducing the healing time of pimples. The device features a microprocessor that adapts not only to your individual skin type, but also the heat absorption characteristics of the location of the pimple.
- The Well box is a “lipomassage” and “liftmassage” machine that claims to reduce the appearance of cellulite, optimize connective tissue, increase microcirculation, and minimize post-workout recovery and muscle soreness. It can be used on both the body and the face.
- GlowFusion AirGlow Airbrush Gun Now that you’ve spent all that green on gadgets that vow to erase the effects of the sun, sunbathing would probably be counterproductive. Home tanning gadgets like the GlowFusion AirGlow Airbrush Gun let you get head-to-toe bronze (or orange-ish, as the case may be) without having to strip down at the tanning salon.
Sonaki America This shower head system from Sonaki America flitters in vitamin C- a de-chlorinization agent and common addition to skin care products. According to the company and other advocates, the vitamin improves dry, irritated and itchy skin; prevents chlorine-caused dandruff; and protects hair-coloring treatments. The filter life is up to 2,500 gallons.
