The NuDerma high-frequency wand is a handheld facial device that uses neon and/or argon gas to reduce signs of aging or acne, increasing blood flow, stimulating collagen production and killing bacteria. But does it really work, comparing to lasers, microcurrent devices or other beauty tech gadgets?
What is it?
NuDerma high-frequency wand is a facial device designed to give users glowing and clearer skin. Your choice of model (Standard, Professional or Clinical) determines how the wand uses neon or argon gas along with attachments like mushroom spots and spot combs to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce redness and prevent future breakouts. Burg suggests that using neon and argon gas wands improves both blood circulation and cell renewal; however, neither neon nor argon will deliver anti-ageing results like those achieved through lasers, radio frequency devices or microcurrent devices. Although you can use the wand daily, to prevent over-drying of skin treatments it may be wise to space treatments out over time in order to avoid overly drying out skin cells; additionally they should not be used by individuals with open wounds or who wear pacemakers – however you can purchase it both online or from select beauty store stores.
Does it work for me?
NuDerma Wands are advertised as at-home treatments that can improve skin’s health, address signs of aging and acne and stimulate cell turnover. Depending on their model, these handheld facial devices emit either neon or argon gas that claims to eliminate bacteria, clear breakouts and stimulate blood flow and cell turnover – but experts disagree and have observed more temporary results with laser, radio frequency and microcurrent devices such as laser microchanneling; their gases don’t “reduce wrinkles or increase collagen the way lasers or microchanneling can.” People with open wounds, open wounds eczema, rosacea or sensitive skin should avoid these handheld wands altogether as these devices shouldn’t be combined with serum, toner or moisturizer products either.
