The Vanessa Megan Beauty Vibe Micro Vibration Wand can help boost serum and moisturiser absorption, improve circulation and reduce puffiness for a quicker, temporary glow. Below I outline how vibration aids penetration, what results to expect, the correct motions to use and basic cleaning and safety tips.
Top Insights From This Guide
- Use the wand after serum or facial oil to help actives absorb and boost radiance.

If you like skincare gadgets, this wand is an easy add-on that pairs with your serums to give an immediate glow and de-puffing effect. Regular, consistent use may help skin elasticity over time, and simple post-use cleaning keeps the tool hygienic and effective.
With a tonne of beauty tools on the market, it can be a little hard to identify which tools actually work, and which ones are just a gimmick. Often they come with an expensive price tag, so you want to be sure they'll actually benefit your skin, right?
I'm a sucker for a skincare tool, and will jump at the chance to try anything once. I've pretty much got the full collection of FOREO products, a dermaroller, a jade roller, a gua sha and an LED light. Excessive, I know - but I love all of them.
So when Vanessa Megan Beauty Vibe Micro Vibration Wand landed on my desk, I quickly took it out of the packaging to investigate.
What Does A Micro Vibration Wand Do?
No, not what you're thinking... but you can find those kind of products here. This particular wand is designed for the face.
Vibrational tools for the skin are designed to boost circulation and increase blood flow to the surface of the skin, NYC dermatologist Anne Chapas tells Elle. "Anything that warms up the skin and gets the blood closer to the surface will enable molecules in serums and moisturisers to penetrate more efficiently."
As a result of this increase in circulation, the Beauty Vibe Micro Vibration Wand may also give you a temporary boost of radiance, and if used consistently over time, may also help to improve elasticity. The vibrations of this tool can also help with lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and combat dullness.
Oh, and if you've ever had injectables, this tool might look familiar. Vibrating tools are used by some injectors to trick the brain into blocking the feeling of pain that can be associated with injectable treatments.

How To Use:
Following the application of your chosen moisturiser, serum or facial oil, apply the treatment head of the wand directly onto the skin using upward and outward strokes on your forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck and décolletage. For crow’s feet and the under-eye area, use small, inward motions.
As the wand is waterproof, we recommend rinsing the head of the wand under warm water after use and wiping with a clean towel. You can use the wand as part of your daily skincare routine to compliment your topical skincare products.
