Can this vibrator for your face truly work wonders? Yes, yes, yes!

There are hundreds of beauty gadgets on the market, and I’ve tried many of them in the name of work.

Yet when a clinician demonstrates the new Cutis 2.0 contouring tool at the By Dr Vali wellness centre — gliding its two silicone prongs over my facial muscles — it’s a sensation I’ve never felt before.

Set to the most powerful of its five modes, it delivers more than 14,000 oscillations a minute (300 times faster than any other at-home device).

Despite the intensity, my brain becomes quiet, and I feel relaxed enough to close my eyes. After half my face has been worked over, I’m told to take a peek at the result: this side appears noticeably more snatched — and it’s only been a few minutes.

Cutis 2.0: The Ultimate Microcontouring Tool

Cutis

★★★★✩

Cutis has been developed by cosmetic dermatologist Dr Vali with settings to de-puff, brighten skin and ease tension. Used a few times a week for up to 10 minutes — building up to daily — it is said to train the facial muscles to give a lifted appearance. In layman’s terms, the Cutis is a vibrator for your face (Dr Vali has joked about “keeping it hygienic”).

But its nearly instant effects are definitely no joke; after only a week, my tight jaw was palpably more relaxed. A month in and my brows look more lifted and my under eyes less puffy. Give me 12 weeks, and I reckon I’ll be a daily devotee — and all the more taut of face for it.
