Amazon is selling a $100 Craftsman vac for a record-low $59 (and 9 more deals)

The NIRA Pro+ Laser — God's answer to Botox? Maybe
People who look to Hollywood for all their beauty tips assume that all celebrities rely on injections or procedures to hold back the hands of time. And while many do, some also use non-invasive treatments like laser facials to target signs of aging. I've had a laser facial before and won't lie — the results are nice. Brighter skin, less visible sun damage, a healthy glow. What's not so nice, however, is how pricey these things can be, which is why I knew I had to try the Nira Laser Pro+ as soon as I heard about it. The handheld device is said to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and tighten skin by triggering collagen production. Advertisement I'm not a stranger to at-home devices. I've tried my share of LED face masks, microcurrent machines and similar gadgets, including the buzzy LYMA Laser. But as someone who trolls YouTube's 50-plus beauty channels, NIRA has been on my must-try list for a while. Do celebrities like Jessica Biel and Oprah love it? Sure. But I'm more impressed when I hear glowing reviews from regular women who don't have access to the top dermatologists and surgeons. The NIRA laser before and after pics are impressive, and I'd heard favorable things about the brand. About Nira NIRA was founded in 2019, a year before we all found ourselves on Zoom and became way too acquainted with the intricacies of our faces. The company quickly became known for its non-fractional laser technology that could safely be used at home. The NIRA Pro was the first device to hit the market. FDA-cleared and painless, it was large enough to treat the face, neck and hands (three spots where you see signs of aging) and only took up to 5 minutes a day of use to see results. The NIRA Pro+ Laser in its packaging. Michelle Moezam The next product to be released was the NIRA Precision, which featured a smaller nozzle. Designed for harder to target spots, like around the eyes and mouth, it was a must-have for those seeking a quick way to diminish crow's feet and fine lines. Most recently, the company has launched the NIRA Pro+, which can deliver even faster treatments with 50% more power than the original. Nira Pros: FDA-cleared Clinically proven to increase collagen production, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles Tightens loose skin 50% more power and 30% faster results than its predecessor Designed to be used on the face, neck, chest and hands 2-minute treatment time Lightweight and small enough to pack in a makeup bag for travel Cons: Initial financial investment, but it should be noted that NIRA guarantees results and offers free shipping The NIRA Pro+ Laser uses 1450nm non-fractional laser technology to stimulate collagen production, smoothing fine lines naturally while tightening skin. From the makers of the award-winning NIRA Pro, the upgraded device is a must-try, whether you're seeking to prevent visible signs of aging or want to rejuvenate your appearance without injections or surgery. Humans lose collagen, the protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness, with age. Engineered to penetrate the skin surface and activate fibroblast cells, the NIRA Pro+ minimizes the look of wrinkles and sagging when used consistently. With a nozzle large enough to cover a significant portion of the skin, the laser only requires 2 minutes of daily use. Because it's non-ablative (meaning, it doesn't destroy the top layer of skin like in-office lasers), it's painless and requires no downtime. It's good for all skin types and tones, and can even be paired with the NIRA app to track progress. It offers five different levels of power, one being the best for beginners and five being ideal for those with deep wrinkles or significant signs of aging. While NIRA has a 90-day results guarantee, results can be seen as soon as 10 weeks, all without the pain of needles or expensive visits to the medispa. The dermatologist-approved device has quickly become a favorite tool of beauty editors, celebrities, and others looking for clinical wrinkle reduction from the comfort of their home. TL;DR: The Nira Pro+ Laser uses non-fractional laser tech to support collagen production, naturally reducing the appearance of wrinkles and firming skin. uses non-fractional laser tech to support collagen production, naturally reducing the appearance of wrinkles and firming skin. In just 2 minutes a day , users can see visible results in as little as 10 weeks. , users can see visible results in as little as 10 weeks. The dermatologist-approved device is safe for all skin tones, comes with a 90-day results guarantee, and is loved by both celebs and beauty editors. Power: Up to 144 J/CM2/Month (when used twice per day) | Design: Cordless, Rechargeable | Good for: All skin types | Time commitment: 2 minutes a day, twice per day Our Review I've been fascinated with laser treatments ever since I heard Christina Ricci on Whitney Cumming's podcast credit them for her glowing (and poreless) skin. As an original millennial (aka an 80s baby), my ears tend to perk up whenever I hear one of my own give their beauty tips and procedures, especially if they were born before 1987. Most celebs use what's known as Fraxel or Profractional lasers, which use different wavelengths of laser light to micro-wound parts of the skin. This triggers healing, producing collagen and new skin cells. According to a review in Plastic and Aesthetic Research, we begin to lose collagen in early adulthood (most derms will say your mid-twenties). This causes the skin to become less elastic. Before you know it, dynamic lines become static lines. A resting b-itch face turns into frown lines. While in-office lasers will get you the quickest glow-up results, they have risks, including infection or changes in skin color. They're also expensive. Sofwave, for example, which Kim Kardashian is also a fan of, can cost up to $4,000 per treatment! To be fair, there are more affordable treatments (I've enjoyed Skin Laundry's Signature Laser Facial for less than $275), but you still can't avoid having multiple treatments if you want to have the best results. In this economy, who has the money for that? I would much rather invest in something I can use at home on my own time — especially if it works. A year before the NIRA Pro+ came out, I got my hands on the NIRA Precision, and it quickly became one of my beauty tools. It softened the fine lines beneath my eyes, and I wasn't even consistent with it. The NIRA Pro+ Laser and the NIRA Precision on my bathroom counter. Holly J Coley Obviously, I had high hopes for the NIRA Pro+. How does the NIRA Pro+ Laser Work? The NIRA Pro+ Laser uses a 1450nm non-fractional laser, which is a strong enough wavelength to penetrate the epidermis to produce collagen. Unlike fractional lasers, which can deliver a 10,600nm wavelength, the Nira Pro+ is far gentler. Dermatologists routinely work with other non-fractional lasers of the same power for in-office treatments, and it's a wavelength that's been clinically studied for effectiveness in the treatment of photoaging. The laser's nozzle is roughly the size of a silver dollar and targets the heat on the surface you press it on. Hold the device on your skin for a few seconds, wait for it to beep, and then move on to the next section. Its front has a large button to power it on and off, as well as to control its five power levels. First Impressions I hate anything that requires me to read a novella on how to use it, so I was pleased to discover how simple the Nira Pro+ Laser was to operate out of the box. A USB cord is included, and I charged it right away. Once that was through, I washed my face, allowed it to dry, and then stood in front of my bathroom mirror to evaluate where I wanted to target — everywhere. As per the instructions, creams or serums should be avoided before using the laser. After is fine. Unlike the NIRA Precision, which requires you to press a button every time you're ready to treat another area, the NIRA Pro+ automatically begins the treatment as soon as it makes contact with skin. I'm not saying pressing a button is difficult, but I loved this tiny upgrade. Streamlining at its finest. Another cool thing I noticed (I guess you can call it a safety feature) was that whenever I tried to double treat an area in a row, the laser would make a different sort of beep — sort of like the R2-D2 — to push me to move on. Because I'm a daredevil, I tricked the machine by lifting it from my skin and then going back to the same spot multiple times. (Editor's Note: DON'T DO THIS.) Did anything serious happen? No, other than slight redness. However, I really liked this fail-safe to prevent overdoing it, as people like me (obsessive and dysmorphic) are prone to do. I've learned through my adventures with at-home microneedling that less is truly more with anti-aging devices, so don't be a test dummy. That's what shopping editors are for. If you don't place the nozzle properly on your skin, it will also give that funny little beep, which happened to me more than once as I became comfortable enough with the device to move from my bathroom to the couch, where I could do my treatments while watching TV. Unlike microneedling, microcurrent or other lasers I've tested out, the NIRA Pro+ was the most user-friendly. After a few days, I was able to walk around my apartment while using it with no problem or mishaps. Another aspect of the laser I noticed was that it's incredibly lightweight. It's also small enough to tuck into a medium to large makeup bag and is cordless. For someone who always packs at least one skincare device when she travels, I appreciate this type of design. Previous 1 of 3 Next My travel bag, complete with the NIRA Pro+. Holly J Coley The laser is about as small as a can of mousse and nearly as light. Holly J Coley Advertisement Like so many devices, the laser can work in conjunction with an app where you can upload photos to track your usage and skin progress. Real talk, I didn't bother with it. Even though I'm a millennial and supposed to love techy stuff, I dislike the majority of things that require me to add my email, phone number, location, and photo. The good news is you don't need to use the app to fully experience or operate the laser. If you're the type of person who wears an Apple or Garmin watch, you'll probably enjoy the app feature. But if you're like me and rather just get down to business, you'll be set. Testing the Device: How to Use the Nira Pro+ Laser Testing the NIRA Pro+ Laser didn't require much of anything on my end, other than to use it every day. As per the instructions, I washed my face, patted it dry, and then moved the device over each section of my face and neck. The laser can also be used on the chest and hands, but except for the latter, I mainly focused on my face and my neck. While I'm hyperaware of the way my face has changed throughout the years, I know that I 'technically' don't show dramatic signs of aging. However, I have noticed that my chin, which always dimples when I smile or talk, has become pebbled enough that it now appears in photos and videos. This was the primary area I wanted to target, though I also want to focus on the skin beneath my chin as well (it was looking less snatched) and the sides of my neck (also less snatched). It's recommended to use the machine twice a day but being generally rushed on weekday mornings, I used it at night for one 2-minute treatment session from March to mid-May. If I weren't rushing to do a series of other things before I left for work in the morning, a.m. treatments wouldn't be an issue. But again, real talk — doing anything (even for work) is not a priority when I'm trying to catch the 3 train into Midtown during rush hour. Even though I cut the suggested treatment sessions in half, I found the device very easy to use and pleasant. Unlike other devices I've tested, it didn't feel like a nightly chore. I always do a skincare routine before going to bed — even if that's 5 a.m. and semi-inebriated — and using the laser before my DIY cocktail of anti-aging serums and moisturizers wasn't difficult. NIRA Pro+ Laser Price At $649, the NIRA Pro+ Laser isn't exactly cheap. However, I wasn't turned off by its sticker price. I've tried the LYMA laser, which is triple the cost and takes more time to use for results. Typical in-office lasers cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and you'll have to have multiple visits a year for upkeep. Taking all of this into account, $649 is not much at all. The device also includes a 1-year warranty, and according to NIRA laser reviews, the company has excellent customer service. My Results: Does the Nira Pro+ Laser really work? I started testing the NIRA Pro+ Laser at the beginning of March. While the idealist version of me always hopes that I stumble upon a tool that will make my skin look filtered and radiant, the pragmatic me is just looking for a visible change. While I didn't see much improvement in the texture of my skin, it wasn't even April when I noticed that my chin looked smoother! Previous 1 of 6 Next On the left side you see my chin dimpling as I make a facial expression. On the right (taken a month later), you see that my chin looks smoother, even mid-movement. Holly J Coley I tried to recreate some of my 'less than pretty' facial expressions for my 'after' pics. You can see my chin, though dimpled, has less of a pebbled texture after weeks of using the NIRA Pro+. Holly J Coley Advertisement On the left is a pic of my neck (and its lines) about a month ago. On the right you see the lines are less noticeable. Holly J Coley My skin, no filter or makeup, after testing the NIRA Pro+ for 84 days! Holly J Coley Advertisement This was a huge win for me, as maybe I was already spending my train rides to work searching for the cost of chin botox and filler. I honestly think I can hold off on that now, especially if I start using the device consistently in the mornings, as recommended. I also noticed that the skin at the side of my neck, as well as below my chin, looks tighter. It doesn't show dramatically in photos, but I can see a difference when I look in the mirror. My skin, no filter or makeup, after testing the NIRA Pro+ for 84 days! Holly J Coley So, does the NIRA Pro+ Laser work? Yes, it does. Final Verdict: Is the NIRA Pro+ Laser Worth it? Yes. Truly. Get it. I love the thing and have continued to use it even after I was ready to start writing this review. With its intuitive design and portability, the NIRA Pro+ Laser is easy to use and effective. Along with visibly improving the look of my skin, I loved that it required little to no time commitment, extra serums or other things that make me not want to bother at the end of the day. I didn't experience any negative side effects while using it and I noticed results fast. While I can't promise it will be the same for you, I'm pleased with the device as a whole. For those with beginning to moderate signs of aging, the NIRA Pro+ could be a mighty tool in your beauty bag. How We Tested To test the NIRA Pro+ Laser, I committed to 84 days (that's six days shy of the brand's 90-day results guarantee) to see if the at-home laser was worth the time and spend. Here was the criteria I kept in mind while judging the anti-aging device: User-friendliness: You shouldn't have to be a Mensa scholar to figure out 'how to use' a skincare tool. While testing the NIRA Pro+ I reviewed the ease of instructions, as well as its overall design to see if it was straightforward enough for the average person. I found it to be intuitive, with simple instructions and a non-intimidating, ergonomic design. You shouldn't have to be a Mensa scholar to figure out 'how to use' a skincare tool.

I found it to be intuitive, with simple instructions and a non-intimidating, ergonomic design. Time Commitment: Most people are pressed for time, which can make devices requiring 10 or more minutes of use a turnoff. I found the 2-minute, twice a day time commitment for the NIRA Pro+ a plus, especially for those with busy schedules.

Pain and Negative Side Effects : The NIRA Pro+ markets itself as a pain-free and safe at-home laser. I paid close attention to any unpleasant sensations or bad reactions. Other than very slight tenderness when I purposely over-treated one spot, the laser didn't cause any scarring, peeling, itching or pain. : The NIRA Pro+ markets itself as a pain-free and safe at-home laser.

In terms of effectiveness, I found the machine to boost my collagen production and lessen the look of the lines I targeted. : Safety, as well as whether a device actually works is always at the front of mind when testing any anti-aging tool. The NIRA Pro+ Laser is not only FDA-Cleared but also has built-in safety features to promote proper and safe use. In terms of effectiveness, I found the machine to boost my collagen production and lessen the look of the lines I targeted. Price: The cost of anti-aging devices varies wildly and is largely based on the methodology used to treat visible signs of aging. While reviewing the NIRA Pro+, I compared it to the price of other at-home lasers on the market, as well as to the price of in-office laser treatments. When considering the tool's effectiveness and that it's less than both in-office and other at-home lasers on the market, I would say its price of $649 is fair. FAQ What is better, NIRA or Lyma? This depends on what you're trying to achieve. While both are lasers, the LYMA Laser uses cold therapy, while the NIRA Pro and NIRA Pro+ use on-fractional energy. If you're looking to slightly tighten and lift skin or reduce deeper lines (such as the ones around the neck), I'd suggest the LYMA Laser. As I wrote when I reviewed the device, my skin was more taught after consistent use. However, the NIRA Pro+ also provides these benefits and takes significantly less time, so if you can't sacrifice the daily 15-minute treatments required of the LYMA, the NIRA Pro+ may be more your speed. Its $649 price tag is also more budget-friendly in comparison to LYMA's $2,695 asking price. Which is better, NIRA or NuFACE? Comparing any of the NIRA devices to NuFace is like comparing apples to oranges. Both are anti-aging/preventative beauty devices, but they're completely different tools. The NuFace uses microcurrent to stimulate collagen, while NIRA uses laser technology. I've owned a NuFace mini for years at this point, and credit it to keeping my skin plump. It's a really good tool for those struggling with sagging or puffiness. I'm always recommending it to people as a 'worth the splurge' beauty item. This isn't to say that NIRA's line of products isn't worth the spend as well. Even after years of using my mini on and off, I still had to resort to other methods to treat fine lines and visible elasticity loss. Don't get me wrong, I'm not throwing my mini away, but if I were stuck on a desert island and could only bring one tool, the Nira Pro+ Laser would be it. Is the Nira Pro+ painful? In short, no. Because the NIRA Pro+ is non-ablative, it doesn't damage the skin, so if you're worried, you'll be greeted with the smell of charring flesh; don't be. At the lowest level, I found the laser's heat to be detectable but non-alarming. At its highest (which is where I liked it best), it felt like a brief smack of warmth. The only time I felt a twinge of discomfort was when I was using it on certain parts of my neck, and honestly, I didn't care about that. Like I said, I've stuck tiny needles into my face before, and I wasn't even writing a story about it. If you can tolerate pulling off a wet Band-Aid, you can handle the NIRA Pro+ Laser.
