Beauty treatments like chemical peels and lasers have come a long way over the past decade. For years, I avoided any treatment classified as more invasive than a gentle facial thanks to being traumatized as a tween after the infamous episode of Sex And The City in which Samatha suffers the consequences of a skin peel gone wrong. Over the past few years, I’ve summoned the courage to undergo a gamut of more intensive beauty treatments, from chemical peels to microneedling and neurotoxin injectables for fine lines. Sadly, many of these professional treatments are far from wallet-friendly, but the good news is that at-home beauty tools have also come a long way—and are now available at much more accessible price points.
From LED masks to microcurrent devices, I’ve been impressed with at-home beauty tools as of late (especially Omnilux and NuFace’s tools, respectively), so when I came across NIRA’s at-home laser devices), I was immediately intrigued by its promises to soften deep-set wrinkles and magic-erase fine lines without a pricy visit to the derm. The NIRA lasers are touted as the first FDA-cleared at-home laser clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The brand currently has two models, The Precision ($450) and The Pro ($600). While neither model is exactly affordable, if you compare the one-time price to that of routine, in-office laser treatments, the device will likely end up saving you thousands—if it actually works. (Spoiler alert: it does.)
