New wellness brand
Drawing from Dr. Vali’s two decades of dermatological and medical expertise, expect skin care tech that really works.
Dr Vali herself is a twice medically board-certified dermatologist; her Cutis: Ultimate Micro-Contouring Tool helps to de-puff, whilst lifting, tightening and radiating the face. Her skin care range, although small, takes biohacking to another level, promoting skin healing and regeneration, using your own cells to help fix skin.
Head to Selfridges London on Oxford Street for the By Dr. Vali 360 Experiential Centre. It’s set to become the leading destination for cosmetic dermatology and personalised wellbeing programmes, so it’s definitely worth a visit.

New wellness technology
If your digestion is holding you back; perhaps you suffer from IBS or SIBO, then measuring how well you digest foods using this advanced breath testing device, can help you manage symptoms. Monitor your meals, stress, sleep and symptoms and test your fermentation level with personalised, real-time results.
You can purchase an Intolerance Kit (£39) too, which contains packets of lactose, fructose, sorbitol, and inulin; four key ‘trigger’ foods. For three hours, you’ll need to measure your breath every 15 minutes, so it does require some commitment; however, it’s no doubt a useful tool.
