Botox has certainly not dwindled in popularity, however more people are being vocal about their concerns with the product. If you’re unable to get Botox for whatever reason or would like to try some alternatives first, here are some “Notox” treatments that have been generating lots of buzz. —Maddie Clerides
The FOREO Bear Facial Toning Device is an FDA-cleared facial toning device that helps treat fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. It achieves results by pulsing microcurrents through the face. The key with this product is to use it consistently to see results, so try to integrate into your nightly skincare routine.
The TheraFace PRO Facial Health Device brings Therabody’s iconic percussive therapy to the face. We hold so much tension in our face and don’t even realize it, making this product ideal for reducing tension and relaxing facial muscles that can lead to wrinkles. In addition to this, the TheraFace PRO also features skin-toning microcurrent therapy and rejuvenating light therapy. You can even combine these treatments at once!
CurrentBody’s Skin LED Light Therapy Mask is a Notox treatment truly backed by science. In recent years, blue and red LED therapy has gained popularity in many spas and clinics. With this device, you can access spa-level benefits every day at home. LED light therapy is clinically proven to kickstart skin’s collagen production, which penetrates deep under the skin’s surface for visible results. They even have products for the hands, neck, and eyes.
Lightstim for Wrinkles firms and tones your skin, reduces appearance of pores and increases elasticity. It uses the same LED technology as CurrentBody’s mask but comes in wand form which means you can use it anywhere on the body. It has great reviews online making it Notox approved.
If your neck is your insecurity, consider StriVectin’s Peptight Tightening Neck Serum Roller. Doing Botox in the neck is riskier than parts of the face, making it a great candidate for Notox. This product diminishes lines on the neck, smooths and tightens skin.
Many beauty aficionados claim that “icing” their face does wonders for their complexion and shrinks pores. The Cryotherapy Massager by Vaska Skin allows you to calm inflamed skin and reduce redness with a very simple yet effective product. A unique part about this massager is that you can mix rose water, cucumber, or other items into the water before freezing it for added benefits.
If putting ice directly on your face doesn’t sound appealing to you, Canadian brand Midnight Paloma sells a variety of well-priced beauty tools and products including a De-Puffing Ice Roller. Simply pop this product in the freezer and roll it onto your face for the same benefits!
