Vogue's Top 8 Face Sculpting Tools for Lifting, Toning, and Contouring
Vogue has published a comprehensive guide to the best face sculpting tools, featuring eight products selected by editors and dermatologists. The tools range from manual gua sha stones to high-tech microcurrent devices, each designed to lift, tone, and contour the face. Notable picks include the Medicube Booster Pro X2, praised for boosting elasticity with its dual-power technology; the NuFace Trinity+ for microcurrent toning; the Shark Depuffi for cryotherapy; the Jillian Dempsey Gold Bar massager; the Mount Lai Gua Sha; the Therabody TheraFace Depuffing Wand; the Get Face Fit Head in Clouds Scalp Gua Sha; and the Ziip Halo for lifting. Experts Dr. Hadley King and Dr. Marisa Garshick emphasize that these tools offer temporary benefits such as reduced puffiness, improved circulation, and enhanced product absorption, but caution against expecting permanent lifting or dramatic contouring. They recommend consistency and realistic expectations. The guide also includes advice on choosing tools based on goals, potential downsides, and safety precautions, such as avoiding use over active acne or with certain medical conditions. Additionally, it provides timing recommendations for using these tools after Botox or filler injections. The article is authored by Audrey Noble and features insights from contributors like Kiana Murden and Veronica Cristino.
