NEWA

One of the most inconvenient things about scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist in Miami is how far in advance you actually have to schedule it. When I call and try to get an appointment, I won't be given one until at least two and a half months down the road. I personally go to Dr. Boews Dermatology, who I like, but it's really difficult to get in with her (and the staff is rude). Annoying.

So, what if I were to tell you that you could get some of the derm office perks right at home? You'd be all-in, right? 

The Newa Skin Tightening Device is a handheld tool that uses radio frequency to to stimulate collagen production and give you a more youthful appearance. It basically pulses energy into your skin to plump fine lines, and gives you a glow in about five-six weeks. It's the only product like this on the market, that's also FDA approved.  It decreases wrinkles and tightens problem areas like jowls, chin and forehead. You feel a slight warming sensation and if you're fair, like me, you will have light redness that fades.

Pros: 

• At-home convenience; 
• FDA cleared; 
• Easily available online (Amazon, Neiman Marcus); 
• Effective; 

Cons:

• Not wireless! You have to be tethered to a wall outlet;
• Expensive($450), but not when compared to the cost of radio frequency procedures at the dermatologist; 
• Gel required.Some reviews say their customer service is lacking and the gel is on back order so it takes a while to arrive. I've read reviews where customers utilize whatever gel is available and do not notice a problem doing that); 
• Time consuming (you have to put in the time in order to see results, must be used nightly and consecutively).
