I’m Buying My 71-Year-Old Mom the On-Sale Lifting Wand Nicole Kidman Uses (2024)

When Jennifer Coolidge, Nicole Kidman, and Sydney Sweeney turn to the same skin care brand, chances are, the brand is good. Such is the case with Solawave, which asserts firmer, younger-looking skin as its raison d’être via its lineup of LED light-powered anti-aging devices. Ditto for NuFace—a jaw-sculping, cheek-chiseling tool wielded by similarly notable names (Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston come to mind). FWIW: I, too, am a NuFace devotee—mostly because it works.

Though different, SolaWave and NuFace both boast professional-level, aesthetician-inspired technology (LED light and microcurrent, respectively). Moreover, each offers benefits immediately post-use and amplified, longer-lasting results over time.

Good news: You can snag your own celebrity-used skin care gadgets on sale for Black Friday. Solawave’s skin care devices are two for the price of one during the brand’s BOGO sale. The details are simple: Add two Solawave kits (each includes a tool and accompanying skin care product) to your cart—and receive the kit of lesser value for free.

As for NuFace, the brand is 30 percent off at Amazon, including its original Trinity device and a mini version that’s perfect for sculpting on the go. In addition to snagging Solawave and NuFace tools for myself, I’m stocking up for my 71-year-old mom ahead of gifting season.

Solawave 4-in-1 Skin Care Wand Kit

The Solawave 4-in-1 Skincare Wand Kit features a plumping serum plus the brand’s most famous tool, the Red Light Therapy Wand (which earned a spot on InStyle’s best facial devices list). The lightweight, T-shaped tool firms, lifts, smooths, and enhances product absorption. To use, simply glide it across the skin to glean its benefits.

Red light spurs collagen production, in turn, firming, lifting, and smoothing crepey, sagging skin. Simultaneously, gentle vibrations improve circulation to immediately leave behind a vibrant, youthful glow. Solawave’s wand also emits “therapeutic warmth,” i.e. gentle, soothing heat that encourages optimal product absorption—and thus, maximum efficacy. Finally, the wand employs galvanic current for additional efficacy: a painless electric energy that tones underlying muscles and promotes lifted, sculpted facial contours.

NuFace Trinity Microcurrent Facial Device Kit

Simply put, the NuFace lifts cheekbones, tightens the jawline, and depuffs the entire face. The tool emits microcurrent: a (painless!) energy that targets the muscles below the skin and essentially works them out. Consequently, muscle tone improves, yielding a more lifted, youthful look over time. Using the tool is as easy as gliding it over the cheeks and jawline for a few minutes per day. I notice improvement after a single use, though it’s the longer-lasting muscle-sculpting benefits that have made me a NuFace fan for life.

Solawave Wrinkle Retreat Face Mask

This hi-tech mask bathes the entire face in anti-aging red and near-infrared lights—both of which yield fewer fine lines, firmness, and a radiant complexion. “I have used [the mask] nearly every day for a week,” one shopper shared, noting that they “already see a slight improvement in my skin; it is fuller and wrinkles seem reduced.”

Solawave Neck and Chest Rejuvenating Kit

The décollete is prone to show signs of aging—like crepiness, sunspots, and rough texture—more quickly than other areas of the body, partially because the neck and chest are so thin-skinned. Solawave’s solution? The aptly named Neck and Chest Rejuvenating Kit, which delivers red and near-infrared light to the delicate region, where it smooths, tightens, and evens out tone. One reviewer, who’d had “dark” hyperpigmentation on their neck “for years” swore that Solawave’s device drastically improves unevenness. Plus, they added, it’s “so easy to use.”
