At-home beauty devices used in facial skin are developed by combining various technologies such as electromagnetic waves, microcurrents, and lasers according to the main purpose of consumers. This study aimed to assess the effects of increasing of facial elasticity, improvement of eye wrinkles, and facial lifting in healthy Korean women to objectively prove the efficacy of an at-home beauty device equipped with microcurrent (MC) and medium-frequency electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). A total of 44 participants used the at-home beauty device and cosmetics together on the left side of the face (test area), and applied only cosmetics to the right side (control area). The results of the assessment, the improvement in the dermal density and eye wrinkles was clearly observed in the MC mode use group. In the EMS mode use group, the lifting effect of the cheek and decreasing facial swelling were clearly observed, and the lifting effect of the sagging double chin was also confirmed. Especially, EMS group had derived reproducible results like previous studies, and the skin improvement effects were proved again. MC and EMS, which are mainly used for therapeutic purposes, were developed into at-home beauty device, and this study confirmed that they are effective in facial elasticity, eye wrinkles, and facial lifting. Based on the research, we hope that various research for at-home beauty devices equipped with various functions are actively conducted.
