The 70 Best Beauty Gadgets and In-Office Treatments of 2025

A tool to thicken your hair? A device for fuller lips—without the filler? A gadget that de-puffs your entire face? These aren’t beauty fantasies—they’re real, editor-approved winners from our second annual Tools and Treatments Awards.

To find the best picks, the ELLE beauty team started by combing through hundreds of options, from a microneedling alternative that uses high-pressure jet technology to an hourglass-shaped hair dryer specifically designed to diffuse curly hair. Then, we tasked 28 ELLE staff members with testing out the most promising entries and detailing their experiences. Would they use this tool or get this treatment again? Would they pay for it themselves? Would they recommend it to a friend? On a scale of one to 10, how much did it hurt? How did their results compare to everything else they’ve tried?

After vigorous experimentation, we found the 70 most-effective at-home tools and in-office treatments on the market right now. Below, find solutions for your hair, face, and body—all vetted by ELLE.
