Skims' Overnight Face Wrap Sells Out as Experts Question Lasting Effects

Doctors say the collagen-infused wrap replicates post-surgical compression without FDA registration, delivering only temporary jaw contouring.

Overview

  • The Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap launched July 29 and sold out within hours, prompting a growing waitlist.
  • Skims promotes the wrap as a collagen-infused “sculpting fabric” designed to lift and support the jawline overnight.
  • Board-certified specialists warn any feeling of lift or contour fades once the wrap is removed and offers no durable cosmetic improvement.
  • Though modeled on post-surgical compression garments, the device lacks FDA registration and is not made with medical-grade antimicrobial or moisture-wicking materials.
  • Experts caution that prolonged wear may restrict circulation, cause facial swelling, skin irritation or discomfort and advise against use by those with TMJ or sensitive skin.
