March 7, 2025 ·

REVIEW + GUIDE for the NIRA PRECISION LASER DEVICE

We previously featured NIRA. NIRA is an FDA-approved, at-home use non-fractional at-home laser device tightens skin in 2 minutes a day.

This handheld dermatological device stimulates natural collagen production for younger looking skin and works in the small tricky crevice areas like around the browbone, crow’s feet, mouth, and eleven lines.

In this guide we tell our experience with the Nira Precision Skincare Laser and how to use NIRA.

See Part One of this two part series: How Does the NIRA Skincare Laser work?

What Is NIRA Precision Skincare Laser?

The NIRA Precision Skincare Laser offers a method of collagen building without the risks associated with in-office fractional laser skin resurfacing.

And it is far less painful. No risks or downtime.

The improvement is slow and subtle. But it is notable.

The NIRA Precision laser device is an ergonomically shaped tool that is lightweight and fits in your hand.

Here is what came in my NIRA skincare laser bundle:

The Treatment Head

The treatment head makes direct contact with the skin.

Because the head is small (about the size of a pencil head eraser) the treatment can be very targeted to thin skin areas a fractional (damaging) laser could not normally treat.

Two examples are around the mouth and the orbital eye area.

The NIRA Precision Skincare Laser treatment head is small enough to fit into crevices and target fine lines

Hyaluronic Acid Serum

The serum is hyaluronic acid – no extra bells and whistles. No fillers, parabens, and it is fragrance-free.

You may have a HA product you love, but for this purpose, choose one without extra treating ingredients so you can best tolerate the treatment.

NIRA Hyaluronic Acid Advanced Serum is oil free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free

How to Best Use Nira Precision

The instructions are simple.

Wash and dry the area to be treated.
Now turn the device on.
Press the button again to increase or decrease the strength level between 1 and 5.
For your first session, start at one or two green bars.
Place the circle tip head directly and evenly against your skin where you desire treatment.
Press the big button to activate the “burst” of energy.
Listen for the two beeps. You will feel the “burst”.
Adjust the level of green bars to your comfort. Some areas won’t hurt at all with 4 or 5 bars. But other areas are more sensitive. Determine your comfort level per area.
Move over to the next spot and repeat until you have treated the entire area.
Repeat a second treatment on the area, so that the area is treated twice. (every spot gets two bursts total)
Focus on one small area at a time for best results.
Then repeat in the next area.
End your session or move onto the next area to be treated.
Once treatment is complete, apply the Hyaluronic Acid.
It is about two minutes to treat each area.
Each area should get two treatments, but don’t do them twice in succession.
Complete the treatment area and start over.

How to DECODE THE NIRA Precision BEEP Sounds

There are 3 distinct sounds to help you use the device properly.

You should hear two sounds each time you press the button.

WHAT IS THE NIRA FIRED CORRECTLY SOUND?

When you correctly fired the energy burst, there are two quick beeps.

WHAT IS THE NIRA MISFIRED SOUND?

if the head is misaligned or on an uneven surface or misfired, it is one beep before a losing a game show like buzz.
When you hear that, you will need to redo that spot. This happens most often along contours and curves of the face.

WHAT IS THE BURST COUNT SOUND?

Periodically there is a two-beat third sound that is just keeping count of how many bursts have happened so far in the session.

All is well!

What is the PAIN LEVEL of NIRA?

It is not completely painless, but not bad. Its a quick little “zap”.

What can I do if it is uncomfortable to use the device?

If it is too uncomfortable, choose a lower setting.
You control when the burst occurs, so you can be ready for it.
We recommend starting with level 1 or 2 the first time just to know what to expect.

RESULTS

The device is quite useful on forehead wrinkles and around the eyes. I really like it to firm and tone around the browbone, crow’s feet and to contour my lip line.

NIRA tackles pesky tell tale signs of aging such as crows feet, eleven lines, and deep forehead creases.

Results take time. But there is no down time. And no risk of infection.

There is a bit of temporary redness after use, but no skin irritation or swelling.

Tips for NIRA Precision Best Use

Take closeup photos of yourself, there are improvements but subtle over 90 days.
Start with a lower strength, especially on sensitive areas. Increment up as you grow accustomed to the device
Charge after every other use

REVIEW of the NIRA Precision Laser Device.

Meet the NIRA Precision Laser Device for at-home skincare anti-aging.

This device is FDA-approved for at-home use. It is a non-fractional laser device that tightens skin in only 2 minutes a day.

We explore the patent to understand the technology behind this innovative hand-held laser and how it builds skin collagen. And we tested the NIRA Precision.

Read our experience and what we learned about NIRA!

This is part one of a two part series on the NIRA Skincare Precision Laser. For how to use NIRA, see part two of this series: How to Use the Nira Precision Skincare Laser

What to Know About Collagen + Devices

Collagen keeps the scaffolding of your face in place. We lose collagen as we age. This results in sagging, wrinkles, fine lines, and poor skin texture. If you are reading this, you likely want to rebuild collagen.
There are several methods.

But the body needs roughly 12 weeks to build collagen, regardless of the treatment method:

topical
device based
in-office procedure
some combination of the above

While there is some immediate improvements to be seen with each approach, there is no “get collagen quick” scheme to be had.

No matter what method you choose, you’ll wait 12 weeks to start to see meaningful restored collagen results.

What is the Nira Precision Laser Device?

This handheld dermatological device stimulates natural collagen production for younger looking skin and works in the small tricky crevice areas like around:

the brow bone
crow’s feet
mouth
eleven lines
it is particularly effective on forehead wrinkles

What the NIRA Precision Laser Device Does

This lightweight device offers a collagen building method without the risks associated with in-office fractional laser skin resurfacing.

And it is far less painful. No risks or downtime.

The change is slow and subtle but certainly notable.

The NIRA device is an ergonomically shaped tool that is lightweight and fits in your hand. — The NIRA Precision laser device is an ergonomically shaped tool that is lightweight and fits in your hand

About The NIRA Device Technology

The patent explains the process of building collagen quite clearly:

BACKSTORY OF FRACTIONAL LASERS

Traditional fractional lasers seen in dermatological offices heat and destroy skin tissue, specifically deteriorated collagen in the dermal layer of the skin.

The hope is once the old collagen is gone, new healthier collagen will fill it’s place.

This approach is often successful.

Are there any risks to fractional lasers?

Yes. Some things can go wrong. These include:

scarring

infection

discoloration

poor healing

less collagen than desired

And the process is painful.

Why We Love the NIRA Precision Laser Device

NIRA is a non-fractional laser.

The goal is to heat shock the skin enough to stimulate collagen in the dermal layer, but not enough heat to destroy existing collagen.

The NIRA gets a controlled heat shock by combining “an optical energy source that emits optimum wavelengths, an energy dosage, and/or a thermal boost under controlled conditions“. ^[1]

These heat shocks produce “heat shock proteins” (HSPs). HSPs stimulate collagen synthesis. Some HSPs are also involved in preventing the kind of cell death seen in skin aging.

To avoid any of the risks associated with traditional fractional lasers:

there is a safety sensor to keep the heat controlled.
A timer keeps the heat shock energy burst to a short, non-damaging time limit.
This makes it safe enough for repeated, non-damaging heat shocks.

What the NIRA Bundle Contains

Here is what came in my bundle:

NIRA comes with the device and a Hyaluronic Acid serum — it comes with the device and a Hyaluronic Acid serum

The Treatment Head

The treatment head makes direct contact with the skin to be treated.

Because the head is small (about the size of a pencil head eraser) the treatment can be very targeted to thin skin areas you otherwise would not aim a fractional (damaging) laser.

This includes eyebrows, nostrils, and lips.

The device is lightweight and fits neatly in your hand for easy at home treatment

NIRA Skincare Laser fits neatly in your hand for easy at home treatment — NIRA Precision Skincare Laser

The Nira Precision Laser Device Experience

With a treatment head about the size of a pencil eraser, we find this device can target tiny, hard to reach spots.
This is especially good around the eyes, lips and nose.

Why We Love the Bestqool Red Light Therapy device

June 6, 2022 · 2 Comments

Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device REVIEW + RED LIGHT THERAPY HOW-TO GUIDE

Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device is a home light therapy device.

Research shows RED LIGHT THERAPY has several benefits.

It jump-starts tissue rejuvenation.
It increases blood flow and intradermal collagen fiber density.

We love getting the benefits of light therapy at home with Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device. This versatile device offers both anti-aging and pain relief benefits.

Bestqool Right Light Therapy Device delivers infrared light and red light therapy

Light therapy is often done in a medical or spa setting. It is also available via some at-home devices.

An excellent FDA Class II cleared tool for at-home light therapy is the Bestqool Red Light Therapy device.

Why Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device Is Special

The Bestqool Red Light Therapy device contains 30 light units of 600nm and 30 units of 850nm.

This combination of red light therapy (600nm) and infra red light therapy (850nm) options makes it a versatile tool for both skincare rejuvenation and inflammatory-based pain.

It can be placed on a table, the floor, or hung on a door to project light onto larger areas of the body.

Note the 60-degree angle for optimal light use:

The Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device boasts a 60-degree beam angle for optimal, hands-free use

The light is powerful and delivers professional results.

Why Use Red Light Therapy

Red light is the wave of the spectral range considered useful for promoting wound healing, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation.^[1]

Red light therapy increases adenosine triphosphate production or ATP, which promotes cellular energy production.

This has several benefits.

Red Light Therapy Benefits

ANTI-AGING

Red light therapy improves skin tone and texture. It also reduces roughness, wrinkles, and fine lines. ^[2]

One study found red light therapy test subjects:

“experienced significantly improved skin complexion and skin feeling, profilometrically assessed skin roughness, and ultrasonographically measured collagen density” ^[3]

Red light therapy is outstanding for anti-aging because it promotes collagen formation

SKIN IMPROVEMENT

Red light therapy treats multiple skin issues. Red light therapy can:

improve wound healing, acne, and scars
improve psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema
improve sun damage and overall facial texture
reduce stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots

WOUND HEALING

Red Light Therapy also reduces inflammatory-based pain and increases blood flow.

Increased blood flow allows more oxygen and nutrients to reach areas of pain or injury. This releases toxins and accelerates the healing process, including wound healing. ^[4]

INFLAMMATION

Red Light therapy also is a natural bacteria inhibitor and antioxidant. ^[5]

It addresses exercise and injury inflammation because red light “reduces the concentration of signaling molecules involved in the inflammatory response” ^[6].

Red Light Therapy can be effective on osteoarthritis and tendinitis pain

The Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device Set

In the box you will find:

The X60 Light Therapy Device
Height Adjusting System
Hanging Cables
Door Hook
Power Cord
User Manual

The set comes with everything you need to get light therapy benefits by hanging on a door or placed on a table or the floor.

The set comes well packed as seen here:

60-degree beam angle

There is also a smart timer. Wearing goggles while doing light therapy makes it difficult to gauge proper treatment times. The timer keeps track of time for you.

This device is notable for staying cool. It is not hot to the touch after use and the light itself does not feel hot. This is because of the dual built-in cooling system fans.

Built-in cooling fan for heat dissipation

The Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device Experience

I use the Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device 15-30 minutes per session, 4 times per week.

The tabletop or hanging option makes it so convenient to use.

There is no flicker and the timer makes it easy to use. It is low heat output so it is comfortable during treatment.

It is so easy to turn it on and use the Bestqool x60

SKIN

The 60-degree angle, when placed on a tabletop, provides red light angled upwards towards my face and throat. I like to treat the under chin “turkey waddle” area and treat my forehead at once.

The 60-degree angle simultaneously treats my face, chest, double chin area, and my throat

The lights are powerful, so use the goggles that come with the device to protect your eyes.

Always use the goggles during an Infrared light treatment!

Unlike some light therapy devices, the light does not feel “hot” on the skin and treatment is comfortable.

We love the hanging on the door option so the light can reach a larger area. It is easy to assemble and adjust the height.

Hanging option can treat the back, neck or torso

I can treat my face, throat, décolletage and shoulders at the same time. Red light therapy is also a wonderful anti-aging treat for hands!

Skin does seem brighter with a nice glow, but collagen production and skin firming can take a month or two to see results. Some surface issues, such as my acne, responded sooner.

PAIN

Pain relief results are quick with the device.

I also like to use it immediately after a workout because the red light enhances muscle recovery and reduces inflammation.

Ease exercise soreness right at the mat

Ease sore muscles after yoga, stretching or pilates

SLEEP

I like to use the Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device before bedtime because red light therapy produces melatonin to promote better sleep patterns.

Red Light Therapy How to Best Use

Be consistent to see results. Stick to a schedule.
Before starting any medical treatment, talk to your health care provider, especially if you are pregnant or using medications that may increase photosensitivity.
Some researchers believe red light therapy works best on hydrated cells.
Take “before” photos in good light to track your progress.

Bestqool Red Light Therapy Device provides a natural, safe, and non-invasive light therapy treatment you can use at home anytime. It is great for post-workout recovery, skin rejuvenation, and pain relief.

Why We Love the Solawave Skincare Wand

October 15, 2021 · Leave a Comment

This article is a review of the Solawave Skincare Wand features. We tested the Solawave and report our experience.

Solawave Skincare Wand is a lightweight facial tool. It has multiple skincare benefits. It is a portable tool and easy to use. It has an angle top head. The head fits into tiny areas that other devices can miss. Use it on crow’s feet, small lines around the mouth, and eleven lines.

Solawave Skincare Wand provides targeted red light therapy

What Is the Solawave Skincare Wand?

It is a 5-minute facial tool. It combines multiple dermatology functions into one sleek device.

What Does Solawave Skincare Wand Do?

Here are some of the Solawave Skincare Wand benefits:

Benefit 1: Microcurrent

A low-voltage energy stimulates the muscles and deeper layers of the skin. This improves the appearance of signs of aging.

Benefit 2: Red light therapy

LED red light at 660nm promotes collagen production while adding vibrance to the skin.

Red light jump-starts tissue rejuvenation by increasing blood flow and collagen stimulation.
Red light therapy significantly improves skin complexion, tone, and texture.
It also reduces roughness, wrinkles, and fine lines.

In clinical studies, Ultrasonographic tests show red light therapy increases collagen.

Benefit 3: Warming

Reduces inflammation and swelling, soothes irritated skin.

When used with a product, it helps promote absorption.

Benefit 4: Vibration

Promotes better blood flow, reduces swelling

Solawave Skincare Wand Uses

It is ideal for:

crows feet
11 lines
undereye bags
fine wrinkles around the mouth
Treat a pimple with an effective spot treatment of red light therapy.
Deliver an intensive treatment around the undereye area.
Target a specific wrinkle.

Pair the device with the SolaWave Renew Complex Serum. It’s a “Conductive Serum,” that contains hyaluronic acid and blue tansy.

The wand can be used with or without the serum.

The Experience

The head can be positioned to best fit into small spots and awkward angles.

Something I particularly like about using the Wand is I can use it anywhere. It is quiet and portable.

I can also use it while I am doing other things such as watching TV, working on my computer, or when I am on the phone. Unlike a light therapy panel, this doesn’t require eye goggles, so I don’t have to wait until I have free time in order to use it.

It is especially helpful a few minutes before I apply my makeup. I like to use it while drinking my morning coffee to smooth morning puffiness
