The New Facial Tool That Firms & Tightens

There are plenty of personal beauty gadgets and devices in the market these days, but Silk’n is the global leader in those approved for at-home use. A specialist research and development team tests every device rigorously to ensure customers are getting the type of technology – and results – they’d expect at a professional, in-clinic appointment. It’s therefore no wonder its tools receive such rave reviews – notably its IPL Hair Removal tool, which was a world first at the time of its launch in 2006 and has since inspired numerous similar iterations. Its latest addition – FaceTite Mini – is set to be just as influential. At £99, it’s also pretty affordable.

Small and compact, FaceTite Mini was designed with ease of use in mind – for example, it’s cordless, so you can take it with you on the go. In-built radio frequency waves ensure that collagen and elastin fibres in the skin contract and are reconstructed for better firmness, while LED lights smooth skin, even out tone and minimise the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and redness.

The smaller size also means you can target areas that are normally harder to reach – like around the eyes, the mouth and in between your eyebrows. Providing you stick to regular use, you’ll start to see results within a few weeks. After six to eight weeks, expect things to move up a gear – fine lines will appear diffused, skin’s firmness and tone will be better, and you’ll notice a supple, healthy glow that wasn’t there before. Studies show that, on average, skin felt 24% firmer within four weeks.

Like anything, it’s important to start slow. Use the product two to three times a week, then after eight weeks, switch to weekly use to maintain results. It works best on clean skin so it can penetrate deep down into your dermis. Apply the hyaluronic gel onto the device, then glide it around your skin. Not only does this have a cooling effect, it also maintains hydration and maximises the results. Start with energy level one, changing it as you see fit, providing the temperature is comfortable. Keep moving the product for three to five minutes while covering the entire treatment area.
