In this brief segment, Shereene Idriss dismisses the idea that a red‑light massage device is necessary for jowl improvement. She explains that facial massages work by temporarily moving pooled lymphatic fluid caused by gravity, offering short‑term relief. Idriss recommends simple, low‑tech methods—using your hands or even a kitchen spoon—to perform the massage, emphasizing that these DIY approaches are sufficient.
