Get to grips with your muscles with our pick of the best neck massagers

While not tons of research has been done on their effectiveness just yet, dermatologists do seem to agree that derma rollers can stimulate collagen production and, in turn, improve the appearance of skin. The practice of microneedling started in dermatologists' offices, but now, derma rollers are widely available for at-home use, too. Based on research and guidelines from dermatologists, we outlined the best derma rollers you can safely use at home to treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, dark spots, and more. The clear favorite is ORA Face Microneedle Dermal Roller System because the needles are just the right size to be gentle yet still effective to help boost the skin's collagen and elastin production. While there are no formal guidelines for how long to use a massager, you shouldn’t use them too long, especially not in one place on your body. “There are reported cases of fascial damage from excessive massager use,” explains Dr. Lev Kalika, owner of New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy. “Patients should understand that massagers are not intended as self-treatment but rather as a supplemental tool. It is very easy to create fascial or cutaneous nerve damage if you use excessive pressure or excessive time under pressure.” Derma rollers create tiny punctures in the outermost layer of the skin, which can lead to the production of more collagen, the bodily protein that gives skin its firmness, strength, suppleness, and elasticity, says Dr. Marmur. They can also help stimulate the lymphatic system, leading to more radiant skin and less puffiness, she adds. And while the devices may be newer, the practice of microneedling itself has been used for centuries, says Dr. Avaliani. Even if you only have a few minutes, you may still be able to get some of the de-stressing and potentially de-puffing benefits. To adjust the strength of the massage, you have to adjust your level of pull on the handles,” explained one of our testers. “The massager is very light, so to get a strong massage, you have to pull the handles with a good amount of pressure, which makes it feel a bit like you have to do some of the work.”

Key specs – Device type: Cane; Massage type: Pressure point; Heat option: No; Intensity/speed settings : None If you look in the mirror and see something you'd like to improve about your skin — whether it's minimizing scars, reducing wrinkles, evening out skin tone, or simply achieving a more radiant glow — microneedling could be the answer. At first, it may seem strange to roll hundreds of tiny needles over your skin. But that's exactly what microneedling devices — a.k.a. derma rollers — do, and these handheld tools have made a name for themselves in the beauty world as a DIY solution to a variety of cosmetic skin woes. The only downside to this derma roller, and all derma rollers from ORA, is that the plastic handle feels a bit flimsy. We wish it felt a little studier in our hands, but the quality of the handle does not interfere with the results so it's not a dealbreaker. Style of massage offered : This can range from light and gentle to deep, shiatsu-style kneading. If you love a deep massage, you’ll probably be inclined to lean into the machine – but that can leave red marks and isn’t the best idea. Excess pressure can also slow the mechanism down, making it less effective.

"I would not universally recommend at-home derma rolling to some of my patients because of these scary side effects," Dr. Marmur says.

Pregnancy massage, including vibrating massage from a device, is usually safe for most people after the first trimester.You can also perform facial massage or facial exercises, sometimes called “ face yoga,” without a roller. You can give yourself an at-home facial without any tools. How often should you use a face roller? Heat : Using a heat setting will help to further relax tight muscles by increasing blood flow to the target area. Massage and trigger point therapy can help through two mechanisms. First, it works through neurophysiological means, as the pressure from the massage signals the muscle to relax and decrease resting tone or guarding,” he says. “Secondly, this repeated on/off pressure from the massage or trigger point therapy helps pump more blood flow into the region, therefore delivering more oxygen and reversing many of the effects of the acidic environment.” There’s no storage pouch provided so we recommend keeping the box it comes in, but for the price, it’s a solid choice for a versatile home massager that can be used practically anywhere on the body.

Your jade roller can also help when it comes to reducing the appearance of puffiness, especially first thing in the morning. We love helping to perk up our puffy peepers thanks to an under-eye massage with a cold jade roller! You should also avoid them if you have a compromised immune system or you're taking medications that suppress your immune system, including medications for autoimmune diseases like lupus or psoriasis, Dr. Avaliani cautions.Place the foam roller vertically on the ground and sit on one end of it, your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Overall the HoMedics sling is easy to use—press the power button once for high intensity, twice for medium, and three times for low. The heated massage is a nice add-on; however, our tester noted that it took a few minutes to heat up. “Once it did,” she said, “that was a nice added feature.” You can lie down on the pillow or attach it to a chair, although some users report that the velcro straps aren’t super sturdy.
