In recent years, red-light therapy has evolved from a niche treatment to a regular part of many at-home skin-care routines. I, for one, had zero devices just a few years ago. Now, if I stopped to count them all, I’d miss this deadline. Solawave, best known for its viral 4-in-1 Skincare Facial Wand, has been a major driver of that evolution.
When Solawave entered the market in 2020—just as at-home everything, including sourdough bread-making, picked up steam—there were two kinds of at-home devices available to consumers, according to Andrew Silberstein, CEO and founder of Solawave.
Vogue’s Favorite Solawave Devices:
On the one hand, there were prohibitively expensive devices that felt intimidating for anyone without professional training. More affordable gadgets were also available, but they typically offered a single type of technology and required a significant time commitment.
With Solawave, Silberstein set out to bridge that gap, one red light and galvanic current at a time. “We wanted to create something effective, easy to use, and portable that fit naturally into everyday life,” he says. “Our goal was to democratize advanced skin-care technology and make it accessible to a much broader audience.” Six years later, look at where it is now.
Today, Silberstein says, consumer and medical awareness is dramatically higher, and there is much greater understanding of light-based skincare. “The conversation has shifted from ‘what is red light therapy?’ to ‘Which device is right for my goals?’” Silberstein says.
As it turns out, I’ve been asking myself the same question. While Solawave launched with a single product—said facial wand—the brand’s current lineup includes LED masks and treatment devices that target everything from puffiness to fine lines, redness, and discoloration in the neck and chest area.
At 46, I’m open to any devices that will keep my skin glowing and taut (or as close to it as possible) from my favorite place of all: home. After testing some of the brand’s most popular devices and tapping a dermatologist for insight, these are the Solawave products I’ll be adding to my regimen.
