Magic Glow Wand helps you achieve your glow potential through lymphatic drainage, as you “put pressure on the skin to help move the fluid away from the skin, so it can be filtered by your lymph nodes,” Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, explains. “The lymph system acts as the waste removal system for our bloodstream. Lymph vessels do not have muscles, so they rely on our bodies’ muscle constriction from regular movements to pump the fluid.”
What’s more is that, according to Vargas, a stagnant lymphatic system can cause puffiness and dry skin, and Zeichner agrees. “If there is a blockage or slow movement of lymph fluid, it can result in lymphedema, or swelling, of the skin. This can result in puffiness and pressure on the skin barrier, which leads to dry and dull skin, or in more severe cases, even inflammation and rashes.” Got it.
The tool itself is designed with a titanium head for sensitive skin and its massage modes, which Vargas says “mimic the wave-like motion of the lymphatic system,” are gentle enough to use every day. Whereas a lot of skin-care tools only offer one function, the Magic Glow Wand stands out with four different modes to address your specific skin concerns. Let’s break them down:
- Hot Mode (102.2°F): Mimics steaming during an in-salon facial, stimulates skin circulation, loosens sebum to deep-cleanse, and eliminates buildup
- Hot + Massage Mode (96.7°F): Helps skin absorb products, like masks and serums, for more effective treatments
- Cool Mode (55.4°F): Mimics cryotherapy, instantly soothes skin, and controls redness and inflammation
- Cool + Massage Mode (41°F): Minimizes the appearance of pores and decreases puffiness through lymphatic stimulation
It didn’t take much convincing for me to try out the Magic Glow Wand for myself. Since Vargas confirmed that was safe to do, I decided to test out all four modes in the same sitting, starting from hot and working my way to cool.
