In 2025, the main focus of home beauty devices will be "effectiveness and value for money." LED, radio frequency, and ultrasound technology will remain the three main technologies. When choosing, first identify your needs, and then check for safety and local compliance before making a purchase.
How to choose among the three technologies
-
LED phototherapy: Primarily targets acne, soothes redness, and manages early signs of aging. Home-use devices use low energy and emphasize continuous and proper use.
-
Radiofrequency (RF): Heats the dermis with an electric current to promote collagen remodeling. Professional treatments often require heating the dermis to about 60–65°C for a short time, while home treatments usually use about 40°C, with a gentler effect that requires long-term accumulation.
-
Ultrasonic scalpel (HIFU/Focused Ultrasound): Energy is focused on deeper structures to achieve lifting. Home-use machines are mostly lower-energy versions. Studies show that under proper care, they can achieve safe and gentle improvement.

Suitable for the problem |
|
LED phototherapy |
Non-laser light source irradiation, focusing on specific wavelengths and doses, with eye protection worn as instructed in the product manual for a gentle experience. |
Anti-acne, early signs of aging, and skin soothing are also found in FDA- approved home-use devices for anti-aging treatments. |
|
Radio frequency ( RF ) |
Electrical heating of the dermis layer requires professional applications to reach approximately 60–65 °C ; for home use, the temperature is around 40 °C , providing a noticeable but gentle warmth. |
Mild relaxation, improved texture and firmness, with gradual results. |
|
Ultrasonic scalpel ( HIFU ) |
Focused ultrasound energy can reach deeper structures, while home-use devices use lower energy levels to improve safety margins. |
Those seeking significant relaxation or a defined contour may consider this option, but should pay attention to complication prevention and energy settings. |
