‘My wrinkles are almost gone after just 3 weeks’: The best neck toning devices for a firm décolletage

Score: 87/100

We’ve tested a lot of tech in our beauty lab and rarely do devices achieve unanimous verdicts across multiple categories. But every single tester found this device easy to use and clean, comfortable to wear, and, most importantly, they said it left the skin on their neck much firmer, smoother and healthier by the end of the trial period.

"It was mega comfortable to wear," said one panel member, while another added: "It was so easy to use and felt great quality – it even comes with a neat little storage bag." It mainly lost points for the lack of alarm to let you know when the 10-minute treatment time is up, but you can easily get around that by just setting the timer on your phone.

If that's not tempting enough, Good Housekeeping readers can now get £50 off on this device with the code 'GH50'.

Currentbody just gets it when it comes to beauty devices, but its Neck and Dec Perfector (V2) really is head and shoulders above most of the competition. It uses 50 LEDs to emit the three most clinically-acclaimed wavelengths for anti-ageing; red light, which stimulates collagen production to plump skin, smooth wrinkles and even out hyperpigmentation; near-infrared, which works to energise the cells below your skin for a tauter, smoother and brighter complexion; and deep near-infrared, which targets areas where signs of ageing are more pronounced, promoting collagen production at a deeper level.

Everyone who tried this said their neck looked firmer and smoother, with a visibly improved appearance after the trial period – proof enough for us that the device really works. One said their "wrinkles were almost gone after only three weeks", while another noted that their colleagues started asking whether they’d done something different to their skin, suggesting they might have had work done. Every single person said they’d continue to use the device based on their results – this feels like a real win for a non-invasive, at-home treatment.

The only grumbles were about the strap it came with, which many felt was unnecessary and found a bit of a pain in the neck (sorry), and some said the Velcro caught in their hair when they tried to put it on. We’d ride these gripes out for a smooth and soft décolleté, any day though.

In the brand’s before and after pictures, taken during its own panel tests, you can see a significant decrease in lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Our testers corroborated this, with the majority telling us they were satisfied with the results and that they would happily continue to use the product after the trial period.

The bib-like design was a hit, with everyone finding it super comfortable to wear and walk around in – the long cord between the controller and the mask helped. It also held its charge well according to our panel, but a few groaned about the Velcro fastener being tricky to strap together. Generally, though, they were all impressed with this high-quality device and how convenient it was to use.

Microcurrent devices should never be used along the front of the neck because this is where the thyroid gland is located, and you risk interfering with the hormones it produces. However, what these tools are both safe and fabulous for is firming the sides of the neck and below the chin to snatch the jawline (goodbye saggy jowls). “I love how small and neat this device is – it’s really portable,” raved one at-home tester.

“I followed the treatment plan for four weeks and noticed such a difference to my neck. I like that treatments are short as I never have much time for self-care,” added another. Some also praised the “great” battery life. There were complaints about having to connect to the app to get information on how to use the device, but we found this relatively easy to do.

This is another microcurrent device that’s good for targeting jowls and jawlines. Panellists told us it was lightweight and easy to hold, which is a big plus point given the 10-minute treatment time – nobody wants an achy arm. There were lots of positive comments about the “good vibrations” – not a Beach Boys reference, but more a general feeling that the device was doing something. ‘I felt like there was a difference in my jaw line whenever I used it,’ said one. In fact, a few told us it garnered ‘noticeable results’ for them, which is impressive at the price point.

A couple of panellists weren’t impressed with the lack of detail in the instructions – "I wasn't sure how often I was meant to use it or the benefits of using it," said one. We’ve asked the brand, who told us they recommend using it daily for the first two weeks, then three times a week ongoing. It's best used alongside a serum or cream, and it promises firmer skin in four weeks for just £54.

Most of the comments about this one focused on how convenient it was to incorporate into people’s routines, which is exactly what you want from a beauty tool – as with anything, if it’s easy to stick to, you’re more likely to make it a habit. "At only 10 minutes, three times a week, this treatment was super convenient," said one tester. "Each session was short and sweet, so totally doable," agreed another.

Every single tester said the mask fitted well and was comfortable to wear, with no slipping or disconnecting during treatment. It was also easy to walk around the house with and it didn’t get too hot. As for those all-important results, most were satisfied and said they’d continue to use it after the trial period, though a few told us that although it was comfortable and convenient to use while multitasking, they suspected it might take longer than four weeks to firm up fine lines.

A few complained that it doesn’t come with a hard-shell case, but this was a hit overall.
