A Step-By-Step Guide To Aging Gracefully for the Needle Averse

Nope, it's not Botox.

I used to dread aging, but now that I’m in my 50s, I’m absolutely in the prime of my life. And no, it’s not because I’m relying on injections to make me look faux-youthful. Quite the opposite.

The wonderfully full years I’ve lived on this planet are beginning to show on my face, and I know the collagen production that keeps my skin wrinkle-free isn’t what it used to be. Studies report that during the first 5 years of menopause, collagen production drops by about 30%. Yikes!

Trust me, I’ve tried every skincare tool out there to see what kind of non-invasive solutions I can find…and surprise, surprise: none of them worked. That’s when I came across the Solawave 4-in-1 Skincare Wand (on multiple celebrities’ feeds!) Considering how many awards it won (a whopping 6!) and how my all-time-favorite actress Jennifer Coolidge seems to love it, I had to give it a try.

This 4-in-1 skincare wand does the work without the freaky side effects of injectables (I’m looking at you, droopy eye), and it’s changed my life in the best of ways. Let me tell you more.

Affordable red light therapy for natural anti-aging

When I found out Kylie Jenner has a full-body red light bed that cost her a cool $78k, red light therapy fully had my attention. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. It addresses sun-damaged skin. It improves facial texture. Yes, yes, and yes, please.

Solawave does all this for significantly cheaper, which means I’m over here enjoying all the anti-aging benefits with this powerful little wand that costs a mere $169. AKA: you’ve just saved yourself $77,831… right?

I’ve heard that celebrities who don’t seem to age (hello, Vanessa Hudgens) use this exact wand, so it goes to show that you don’t have to spend hundreds of thousands like Kylie.

If you’re skeptical, let me just say…the results are real. Check out these before & afters:

Individual results may vary

The galvanic current keeps the party going

Galvanic current is like the cousin of red light therapy, offering adjacent benefits to the skin that I live for. Galvanic current helps improve the absorption of serums and creams, working to boost their efficacy. We’re going to see reduced appearance of inflammation, boosted circulation, and increased cellular activity, resulting in skin that’s noticeably plumper.

Current therapies that you’d receive at a dermatologist’s or esthetician’s office can cost $200-$600 per session, putting it in the category of “special occasion” for me. But one splurge of a spa treatment isn’t going to get me anywhere, so yet again, the Solawave is my hero. Its galvanic current is the Part B of its anti-aging capabilities, and my improved skin is a testament to how well it works.

Daily facial massage means glowier skin

To pile on the benefits, the wand’s low vibration provides a facial massage, which stimulates blood flow to increase circulation, which smooths and clears skin. Facial massage stimulates blood flow to increase circulation, smooth and clear skin, basically it equals a glowy face. That’s everyone’s goal, right? It stores easily in my bathroom drawer and is my favorite three minutes of self-care every single day.

This wand’s warmth is a depuffing queen

The benefits just keep on coming. This wand goes so far as to distribute therapeutic warmth on the skin. That gentle warmth gently relaxes and opens the lymphatic vessels to soothe puffing and make way for those healing benefits.

The Solawave wand’s heat function is where the spa-like experience is really clinched for me. It’s when my mental to-do list washes away and I get to enjoy a few minutes to myself of purely feeling good.

Solawave helps you nail the glowy, natural look

Is this approach to smooth, glowing, healthy skin going to give you an identical look to injections? Of course not, but the results are closer to what I’m looking for: naturally glowing at 50+! (vs. the decidedly unnatural look of some injectables…).

Within about a week, I noticed less under-eye puffiness, lessened appearance of forehead fine lines, and a subtle glow. Fast forward to now, and my skin is noticeably sculpted and texture-free. Solawave is a non-invasive, highly relaxing, affordable, and low-commitment route to caring for your aging skin holistically. And it’s half the reason I love being over 50.
