How often did you use the Solawave wand?
Pretty much every day in the morning.
Was the Solawave wand easy to use?
I notice an immediate difference in puffiness and lift after using the Solawave wand.
In the morning, it really helps drain my face of any fluid buildup from overnight.
They could see how much slimmer and lifted my cheek looked after using it on one side.
Would you recommend this rig to a friend?
Ive already influenced my sister and cousin to buy their own Solawave wands.
The price point is very reasonable for a skin care gear.

Once to twice a week for a month.
But I probably need more time and consistent use to see any actual difference.
Monique Wilson, editorial assistant
Ive used it three times.
Yes, very easy.
I leave it on my nightstand to use either day or night.
Its easy to charge and use because the directions are very simple.
I also like that you’re able to rotate the head to reach different parts of your face.
Did you notice an immediate or gradual difference in your skin?
I noticed a slight difference when I used it on one side versus the other.
I would recommend it to friends who have prominent fine lines or heavy dark circles.
Its easy to use so it wouldnt hurt to try it out.

I used the Solawave every single day for three weeks.
The Solawave was very easy to use.
Instead, I washed my face, sprayed theAvene face mist, and followed up with eitherDr.
Jarts tonerorOseas hyaluronic acid serum.
Id use slow, sweeping motions as displayed in the instructions.
(There are a lot of no-nos.)
Id use it for five minutes each day.
After using, Id wipe it with a tissue.
This is likely just a me thing, but I found it so.
to properly get the wand into its case.
Did you notice an immediate or gradual difference in your skin?
The Solawave combines four treatments into oneit couldnt possibly excel at each one, right?
In my opinion, right.
Every day that I used it, there was an immediate sculpted look to my face.
After about a week of use, my partner mentioned that my face looked more chiseled his words!
And unprovoked, might I add!
In terms of improvements triggered by LED, that was gradual and minimal at best.
I did happen to have a reduction in acne.
I always break out around my period, and this trial ran through two moon cycles.
It depends on why you want it.
If you have the coins for a mask fromDr.

I used it every day.
Some days I did it in the morning instead of the evening.
I found the directions a little hard to understand, and frustrating.
Then in a later paragraph said to spend 3 minutes per area.
The only videos on their site were TikToks, so I wasnt sure how reliable they were.
I ended up just slowly moving the unit in the pattern they suggested.
I wasnt in love with the serum in combination with the equipment.
To get the serum to reconstitute, Id pat my skin with damp fingers.
The unit buzzes to let you know three minutes have passed, but that was never in play.
Gradualis the word here.
I did feel that after about two weeks, I felt a small difference.
But the surface wrinkles did seem to be smaller.
My cleaning lady told me I was looking younger!
But Ive also had good results with simply using a moisturizer and exfoliator.
Im not sure I would.
You really need to keep it up, and spending 12 minutes a day with this was frankly boring.
And the difference wasnt quite huge enough for me.
The one place I did like it, oddly enough, is on my neck.
Was the Solawave easy to use?The Solawave is super user-friendly.
To use it, I start with clean skin, so I use it just after double cleansing.
My skin is…complicated and very high-maintenance.
But when I started using the Solawave, I noticed an immediate difference.
It even helped one of my cystic pimples clear up much faster than usual.
I will never travel without it again.
Its so easy, and makes a huge difference.
I definitely want to get one for my mom too.
