Convenient, multitasking, and effective. It’s no surprise that the popularity of beauty devices has skyrocketed in recent years.
These clever tools offer an alternative to expensive spa treatments or surgical procedures and allow us to take control of our skincare routines from the comfort of our own homes.
An advanced device that stands out from the myriad of tools on the market is the one that offers not one, not two, but six different modes to target a wide range of skin troubles. Let us introduce you to YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP.
To find out just how effective the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP is, Daily Vanity invited 10 readers to try the skincare device for one month. Spoiler alert: the average verdict for the device is 4.6 out of five stars!
About YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP
From clogged pores and acne to wrinkles, pigmentation, and facial sagging, YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP is able to tackle a multitude of skin concerns. That’s because it taps into the power of radiofrequency (RF), which delivers heat to the deep layers of tissue.
When applied to the targeted area, it causes heat-producing molecular friction that contracts our collagen fibres, thereby giving the skin an instant tightening effect.
This way, RF can soften the look of fine lines and even firm your facial contours both instantly and over time, which explains why aestheticians and dermatologists adore the treatment.
For those who’d rather indulge in its collagen-inducing benefits at home, consider YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP. It combines professional-grade technology in a single device, making it easy to incorporate into our skincare routines.
Let’s take a closer look at the different modes:
- CLEAN mode with ION cleansing: Great for clogged pores, blackheads, and textured skin. For optimal results, use it with RF Booster Pad, which is made with ultrafine fibres and contains cleansing ingredients to remove dirt and dead skin cells.
- NEB mode with deep iontophoresis: This hydrates dry or oily skin and uses Dynamic Hyper Pulse (DYHP), which is developed to enhance the penetration of beauty ingredients in your skincare products.
- NEB mode with (W) on: Best for pigmentation or dull skin. You can pair it with whitening products to target pigmentation even further.
- EMS mode: It helps to tone and lift the facial muscles, giving a more youthful appearance. This mode is perfect for sagging skin and a puffy face.
- COOL mode with blue LED: This mode is ideal for those with acne-prone skin as blue LED light has anti-bacterial properties, which help to kill acne-causing bacteria. It also reduces redness and inflammation, leaving the skin looking clear and healthy.
- Eye Care mode: Gently warms the eye area with RF and microcurrent to depuff and reduce fine lines.

Since using the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP, I’ve noticed that my skin feels softer, smoother, and more moisturised. It also looks brighter, and my eyes appear less puffy.
I particularly enjoy the Eye Care and COOL modes as they have helped improve my puffy eyes. It will beep when it is time for you to change sides, which is also helpful.
A month later, I noticed that my dry skin feels much more hydrated, and my skin feels firmer. Additionally, my face looks more lifted, and I appreciate that the device is gentle on my skin.
Overall, I believe that this device worked very well for my skin type, and it has been more effective than other skincare devices I’ve tried in the past.

Skin concerns: Dull skin, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation/dark spots, sagging skin, dehydration
The YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP looks really sleek and felt easy to hold. It was slightly heavier but it’s understandable since it’s an all-in-one device with so many different modes to choose from. It was pretty easy to use too.
After the first use, my skin looked smoother and felt softer. I was surprised as there are times when my skin might flare up after using a new product or device. My face didn’t look as puffy as well in the morning!
I would use the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP at night only as I have no time in the morning. I use it with the RF Booster Pad after cleansing my face, and surprisingly there is actually dirt on the pad – even after double cleansing!
I like the COOL mode as it helps me relax after a long day and the device just makes it feel like a spa experience. Plus, my eye area usually feels the driest and the most tired as I wear lenses for more than eight hours a day. The eye mode really helps ease the tightness and calm the eye area.
After using it for a month, my skin feels so much softer and moisturised, and I don’t have to worry about it feeling dry or tight anymore. Plus, my dry skin is now super hydrated, and my skin feels cleaner and less clogged.
My skin looks calmer and less red, and my pores appear tightened. Not to mention, my skin looks brighter, and pigmentation and dark spots have lightened, leaving me with a beautifully even complexion.
I must say it really gave me the full facial experience. From the holding of the device, to the feeling of the device on my skin, to even the buttons and display. Plus, its effects seemed to last longer than usual devices, for example, I observed visible results the next morning.

Skin type: Normal
Skin concerns: Uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation/dark spots, dehydration
Previously, I tried another skincare device, but I didn’t feel like it made a difference in my skin.
With YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP, I used the RF Booster Pad as part of my double cleansing routine and the NEB mode to lift and brighten my skin.
When I checked in on my skin the morning after using the device for the first time, I noticed that my skin felt brighter, cleaner, and lifted, with no breakouts on my chin.
A month later, my skin looks brighter and my face looks more lifted. Pigmentation and dark spots have lightened too. I could feel the difference, and my colleagues were also curious about what I had done to my face recently.

Skin type: Oily, combination-oily
Skin concerns: Dull skin, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation/dark spots, textured skin (e.g. small, rough bumps), sagging skin, dehydration, visible/enlarged pores, clogged pores, blackheads/whiteheads
The cleansing device I used previously didn’t leave my face feeling clean, but the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP left my skin cleaner and smoother after the first use.
I pair the CLEAN mode with the RF Booster Pad and the Only Minerals Extra Moisture Lotion, and it removes dirt and residue from my face, leaving my skin soft and smooth.
My facial muscles feel tighter, and my eyes appear less puffy. The device also moisturised my skin, resulting in a bouncier, more hydrated complexion.
It has plenty more functions that are easy to use. I would choose the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP over other devices I’ve tried in the past.

Unlike another skincare device I’ve tried that only has one function, the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP offers many modes, so I don’t have to switch devices.
I use it with the Booster Pad, which helps my serum and cream absorb better into my skin. After a single use, my skin felt hydrated, glowier, and tighter.
After using this device for a month, I’ve noticed many positive changes in my skin. It feels much softer and more moisturised, and I no longer experience dryness or tightness.
My previously dry skin now feels much more hydrated, and my pores appear tightened. Additionally, my skin looks calmer and less red, and pigmentation and dark spots have lightened.
I’ve also noticed that my skin looks brighter, and my facial muscles feel tenser. Furthermore, my eyes look less puffy, and my face looks more lifted.
Overall, I believe that this device has worked very well for my skin type and has been more effective than other skincare devices I’ve tried. In fact, I think it’s the best skincare device I’ve ever used!
Although it is on the pricier side, the device is worth every penny.

I like how classy and chic YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP looks.
I always pair the Booster Pad with the CLEAN mode when I use the device – it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth as it removes extra dirt and residue from my face on the cotton pad.
After using the smart device for a month, I experienced several positive changes in my skin. These included increased softness and hydration, less dryness and redness, and a clearer complexion with tighter pores. My facial muscles feel tenser and my face looks more lifted overall, thanks to the EMS mode.
My favourite mode was COOL, because it made my pores smaller and my skin tighter. Overall, I’m pleased with the results and loved the cold function of the device.

Skin concerns: Dull skin, dehydration, visible/enlarged pores, blackheads/whiteheads, acne, acne scars
I like how luxurious the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP looks and feels. From the first use, my skin felt so much cleaner and smoother, and my skin didn’t feel as oily as compared to the day before.
I use the RF Booster Pad at night to ensure that my skin is thoroughly cleansed, and I particularly love the COOL mode for my acne. I typically use this device at night as I prefer to complete the whole cycle utilising all the modes.
I have noticed that my skin feels softer and more moisturised after using the device for a month. It no longer feels dry or tight, and my previously dry skin now feels much more hydrated.
If I use the CLEAN mode, my skin feels much cleaner and less clogged. When I use the COOL mode, my skin looks calmer and less red. Additionally, if I use the EMS UP mode, my skin feels firmer.
I have not experienced any irritation from the device, and I find it to be gentle on my skin. Overall, I think this device worked very well for my skin type.
It is very good to have many different modes in just one device for convenience!

I prefer to use the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP at night and I like pairing it with sheet mask.
After using the device for the first time, I immediately noticed that my skin felt softer and smoother. I also appreciated that the device effectively removed extra dirt and residue from my face on the cotton pad.
What’s more, my skin looked calmer and less red, and my pores appeared tightened. I also noticed that my skin looked brighter and felt firmer, while my facial muscles felt tenser. Overall, my face looked more lifted, and I was eager to continue using this device after my initial experience.
After using the YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP for four weeks, I noticed that my dry skin feels much more hydrated, and my skin feels much cleaner and less congested. My pores appear tightened too.
I’ve found that this device worked better for me than other skincare devices I’ve tried in the past, making it the best skincare device I’ve ever used.

YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP is a sophisticated device that offers modes that I needed.
After using it for the first time, my skin looked brighter and I especially liked the COOL mode. It diminished the acne and soothed my red patch overnight. After a couple of days, the acne was gone and the scars were barely visible.
I use it every alternate evening before going to bed. I start with the CLEAN mode and the Booster Pad followed by other skincare products paired with the respective modes.
YA-MAN Photo Plus Prestige SP has been effective at removing extra dirt and residue, which I can see on the cotton pad. After using it, my skin looks calmer, with reduced redness and tighter pores. It’s also looking brighter and my pigmentation and dark spots have lightened.
I’ve noticed my skin feels firmer and my facial muscles feel tenser, which is great. Additionally, my dry skin feels much more hydrated and my skin is much cleaner and less clogged. Compared to other skincare devices I’ve tried, this is gentler and easier to handle.
Overall, I’m delighted with the results and would definitely recommend this device.
