Korean beauty devices are having a moment — and honestly, it’s no wonder. Between collagen-boosting gadgets, pore-tightening tools, at-home HIFU machines and absorption boosters, the world of beauty tech has gotten… a little overwhelming.
If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling through TikTok, wondering, “Do I need this? What does it even do?” — don’t worry. You’re exactly who this guide is for.
Let’s break everything down in plain English so you can figure out which device makes the most sense for your skin goals.
1. Devices for glow and better product absorption
These are ideal if your focus is hydration, barrier support, or making your skincare work harder.
