Most Americans are obsessed with looking young. Growing numbers of people work out, eat right and do what they can to fight aging. While winning the battle of the bulge, many people forget to pay the right kind of attention to one set of sagging muscles-their facial muscles.
The muscular structure that makes up the face starts to lose its tone at about age 35, resulting in sagging tissues and the start of wrinkles.
In an interview with Vogue Magazine, Dr. Wilma Bergfeld, director of research at The Cleveland Clinic and past chairwoman of The American Academy of Dermatology, was asked how to stop sagging facial muscles.
Her reply was "exercise."
A recent development makes facial exercise easier than ever. An innovative new device, Facial-Flex®, works from the inside out to restore and maintain the original shape and contour of your facial muscles. It is these muscles, combined with your skeletal structure, that largely determine the way you look naturally.
Research has shown that muscles not exercised against resistance lose their strength, shape and tone. Except during changes in facial expression, the muscles of your face are not exercised at all.
Facial-Flex was developed to treat patients with facial trauma, but its developers quickly saw that it could help firm sagging muscle tone in the faces of healthy users.
The light-weight, crescent-shaped device is placed in the corners of the mouth, where it maintains a constant outward resistance. When used in exercise, it is compressed and released repetitively against the force of an elastic band.
Two minutes of facial exercise twice a day is all it takes to make such a dramatic difference that some women can postpone or avoid plastic surgery. The device can lift, shape and tone without the risks of plastic surgery.
Available through mail order, Facial-Flex sells for about $70. For more information, call
