The advances in technology for the beauty industry are mind boggling. Many of the developments started in either space research by NASA or medical research. Years later the ordinary person at home can enjoy many of the tools that have evolved based on solid scientific evidence. A variety of hand held devices are available for at home skin rejuvenating and treating acne. In most cases what we are trying to achieve is an increased production of collagen and elastin in the skin. For acne skin types elimination of bacteria, accelerated healing and reduction of inflammation are the goals. We feature 2 devices in this article LED lights and Microdermabrasion. LED lights (light- emitting diodes) are a very safe and easy method for increasing the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. While professional machines are much stronger and treat the whole face at one time, home devices are handy and price effective. When acne or pimples are the issue you can often nip it in the bud at an early stage and prevent a full on pimple developing. The colour of the LED light determines the purpose of the treatment.

Red is used for skin rejuvenation
Blue is for acne or pimples to kill bacteria
Yellow is to firm the skin
Green reduces redness in cuperose skin

Before buying, it is important to check the powder of these LED devices to give an indication of effectiveness. Home units usually only come in red or blue , sometimes a combination of the two. Yellow and green are more for larger salon units.

Prices vary from around $70 on e-bay to $300 -$500 in department or specialty stores. I bought a $69 tool on ebay and am very happy with it. Whatever you buy have realistic expectations. Transformation is not going to happen overnight or ever, if the tool is left in a drawer. Microdermabrasion: Hand held battery operated microdermabrasion kits for home users are freely available. Results vary as with any appliance. DermaNew is a reliable brand which gives a result which is visible and feels good. The treatment takes only 2 minutes and can be done at the bathroom sink or in the shower. Dead skin cells are removed using a tool which has a sponge head that vibrates lightly. An exfoliating or resurfacing cream with medical grade corundum crystals is moved over the face with sponge head. Microdermabrasion works well in a few ways.

Skin rejuvenating (anti aging)
skins prone to blackheads and whiteheads
acne skin types.

For pimples and acne problems a different type of exfoliating cream is used. There is only half the amount of crystals and the formulation of the base cream contains special acne active ingredients. This cream is a more drying formulation than the Rejuvenation cream used for clear skin or those who suffer from blackheads. You will need to use this microdermabrasion kit regularly to see results but if you do your skin will show the results. Price range around $100.
