The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $189, this Solawave device is the priciest in the brand's set within this silo. The 4.0 rating from 260 reviews is the lowest among Solawave's three models here, which is worth noting when the brand's other models at lower prices each earn 4.2. A 4.0 is not a poor result, but at this price some buyers may expect more from a premium-positioned product in the lineup.
The 1.0 ounce size listing is atypical for a standalone electronic device. This suggests the SKU may be bundled with a serum, activating solution, or similar product. Solawave does sell bundle formats that pair the wand with their Activating Serum. If so, the $189 price partially reflects consumable content rather than the device alone, which would reframe the value comparison.
No skin type is listed, and no monthly purchase volume was recorded. The smaller review pool relative to Solawave's other models here suggests this may be a newer addition or a less frequently purchased configuration. Buyers should compare this explicitly to the $169 model before deciding.
Pros
- Solawave brand carries credible market presence in multi-modality devices
- 260 reviews provides a sufficient base for a directional read on buyer experience
- May include serum or accessory content based on the size spec, adding value
- Unscented format appropriate for a device-centric product
Cons
- 4.0 rating is the weakest among Solawave's three models in this silo
- Higher price than better-rated models in the same brand raises value questions
- No skin type, technology, or modality specs listed in available data
- No purchase volume recorded suggests lower organic demand than brand peers

Performance notes
As with other Solawave models, this device likely combines red light therapy and microcurrent to support the appearance of skin tone, texture, and facial contours over consistent use. If this model includes a serum component, the serum would serve as the conductive medium for microcurrent delivery and may also support the appearance of skin through topical action. The 1.0 ounce size spec points to something beyond a device-only listing, which may partially explain the price premium over the $169 wand. Consistent use several times per week is typically required before changes to skin appearance may become noticeable.
What buyers say
A 4.0 from 260 reviews is a cautiously positive signal. The score is adequate but falls below the brand's own 4.2 ratings at lower price points, and at $189 some buyers may expect to see results that fully justify the step-up cost. It does not indicate a flawed product, but the gap in satisfaction between this and the cheaper Solawave models is worth factoring in.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this Solawave model have a lower rating than the cheaper options in the same brand?
Rating variation within a brand's lineup can reflect different buyer expectations at higher price points, minor feature or quality differences between models, or a smaller review pool where individual critical reviews carry more weight. With 260 reviews versus 861 for the $169 model, the sample size difference alone can explain some of the gap. It is not necessarily a quality indicator, but it is worth factoring into your comparison before deciding between Solawave models.
Does the 1.0 ounce spec mean this includes a serum?
The 1.0 ounce listing is unusual for a standalone electronic device and suggests this SKU may be bundled with a serum, activating solution, or similar product. Solawave sells bundle formats that pair the wand with their Activating Serum. If confirmed, the $189 price partially covers the consumable, and the effective device-only cost would be closer to the brand's standalone wand pricing. Check the current product listing for the most accurate bundle contents before purchasing.
Is this the right Solawave model to start with?
For first-time Solawave buyers, the $169 model with 861 reviews and a 4.2 rating may be a better starting point based on buyer confidence alone. The $189 model is worth considering if the product listing confirms additional content or features that specifically match your routine needs. Starting with the better-reviewed model and upgrading later is a lower-risk approach at this price tier.
