Ultra Facial Lifter

Has anyone tried the Ultra Facial Lifter as an embouchure strengthener? It's a spring-loaded exerciser that you hook at the corners of your mouth and squeeze in on. It's marketed to Japanese women as a way to create a tiny mouth. http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Facial-Lifter-Flex-Resistance/dp/B003H2ETWS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1304031510&sr=1-2

There are several YouTube videos, of which this seems the least appalling! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmOTWhm6khc.

Actually, Yehuda Gilad suggests these to students who have embouchure problems (or something similar to it anyway - i saw him at a masterclass) . He advocates using them only briefly each day though, and only to get the student to feel which muscles they should be using.
