A slimmer-looking face with lifted contours in minutes might sound too good to be true; but it is not impossible.

Especially when you are in the hands of a trained facialist familiar with massage techniques on lymph nodes around the face, and able to get rid of water retention effectively.

Or you could train yourself to pin point the lymphatic areas including the back of the earlobes, under the chin, and along the jawline.

Otherwise, consider investing in a beauty device by Japanese brand ReFa.

The platinum-coated rollers of the ReFa Carat Face (S$279) are ergonomically-designed to mimic the fluid movements of an ethetician’s hands, boosting circulation and lymphatic drainage. The device also taps on a micro current technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production for lifted contours of the face.

Results are immediate (a slimmer face, sharper jawline, lifted corners of the mouth), and last for up to eight hours. Use the solar-charged gadget at least once a day for long-lasting results.

To enhance the effects of the device, ReFa has also recently launched its Face-Up Cream (S$72 for 50g) with moisturising and anti-ageing properties. Containing Vitamins C and A, ceramides, squalane and macadamia seed oil, and crocus bulb extract; it keeps the skin more taut and firmer for longer.

ReFa products are available at Sephora and selected department stores in Singapore.
