Face Exercises Work

I am posting pics to show that face exercises work...

  • 18 Sep 2012

I am posting pics to show that face exercises work . I have posted these pics especially for nadiahoney (as she wanted to see them). I wont leave them up for long and intend to take them down in 2 weeks.

I didn't buy any face exercise program. Instead I scoured the internet looking for free exercises. They helped me become aware of my own facial muscles and how they move. I then developed my own exercises. my face is now wrinkle free and toned. If you look at the "before" pictures you can see my face was flattening and drooping. My cheeks are now lifted. My lips are fuller. My nasolabial folds have more or less vanished. :)

I am mistaken for someone in their early twenties all the time. I am 41 years old.

Please dont waste your time on botox, fillers and facelift surgery. Give your face 15mins a day and work on different parts of it. So Monday work on eyes. Tuesday on forehead. Wednesday on cheeks. thursday on lips. friday on neck and chin. saturday work on the scalp muscles.

Your brain just needs to be reminded that the muscles are still there. You dont need to spend loads of time on face exercises.

Before I started the face exercises I bought a face muscle electronic stimulator (tua viso). It was very time consuming and yielded very little results. I felt it was a complete waste of money.

Face exercises cost nothing. (unless you buy a face exercise program, which I did NOT bother with).

I am not selling anything. I want to help all those people who are getting depressed looking at their faces aging and think the only solution is to spend thousands and make the cosmetic surgeon richer.

surgeons and doctors (et al) were very discouraging and told me I would end up with lots of wrinkles. They told me to go down the botox and filler route. Costs, long term would have been in the thousands. Then because the botox would have caused my face to sag even more I would have ended up having to fork out more thousands for facelift(s).

Hey Honey beee, thanks for all the info! It's unfortunate I missed the before and afters. Have you thought about posting cropped pics of specific areas of the face so that you are not showing the whole face ? That would help with the shyness and it would also help us late to the party :) no pressure just a suggestion.

Ive read nothing but negative reviews on this product. People have complained about it being a flimsy, over-priced, piece of plastic that doesn't work! I also read that it actually gave some smokers lines! In addition to it breaking all the time, the customer service sounded terrible. Those who requested their money back, from a "money back guarantee" never got their money back! Ive seen a similar device to this called "The Facial Flexer". I think HSN was selling it a few years ago. It looks like the Flexaway is a copied version of this one. Looks pretty scary to me, I think I ll stick with facial exercises!

I have also read negative reviews about it and the customer service. Also the fact that it works just the mouth muscles and its related muscles makes me think that is why it has been said to give "monkey mouth" since only muscles in close proximity to the mouth get exercised. I don't think you can get an elegant build of the face if you work only some facial muscles and not others. Since all muscles are interconnected, I believe the entire "network" needs to be exercised so everything ties in together nicely. Libby555 have you used it and do you have before/after photos you could share?

This just one of the strange reviews I read on Amazon about this product..... 10 of 13 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product but the Seller Is Selling Stolen Goods, December 29, 2010 By Beverly Hanna "Beverly Hanna" (Jackson, MI, US) - See all my reviews This review is from: Flexaway System Facial Exerciser Kit (Health and Beauty) I am the inventor of the flexaway System of Facial Exercise. I own the patent and the trademark. Due to a dishonest employee who failed to ship product on a timely basis I was told that I do not meet the standards of Amazon. I appealed but again was turned down. I have not sold product on Amazon since then (October of 2010). I recently learned my product is being sold on Amazon but when I tried to protest I received a long form letter with a list of requirements for misuse of my trademark. NO SUGGESTIONS ABOUT HOW I CAN FIND THE THIEF. The items are packaged and sold by an Amazon seller called Ink-Link. Anyione with a suggestion of how I might stop this unlawful trading in stolen goods, please email me at bibes3@comcast.net Beverly Hanna Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

Beautycurious, would you be so kind as to share before and after pics? I can send you a private message with my email address. I don't doubt at all that the lower face, chin and neck may get toned from the Facial Flex. I just don't know how the upper cheeks, eyes and forehead can get a workout from this. But I am open to learning something new. I know how exciting it is to see an improvement and so I am sure your before/after pics will be a good testament to your success with it. How long have you used it for? Do you still use it for maintenance? May I ask how old you are?

I meant Flexaway ^^. I think I have referred to it as Facial Flex more than once, but I am talking about the gadget made by that sweet-looking lady who is/was in her 80's. The one with rubberbands. (That is what we are talking about, right? :c| )

I'm not bashing this product at all! I'm just going off of reviews I ve read all over the internet about this device! "Buyer Beware" Is what some say. I'm pretty sure their website Isn't going post negative reviews on their own product or no one would buy it! Im sorry but I'm not willing to risk losing $50 on a piece of plastic that received horrible reviews. As I said before, I'll stick with facial exercises...at least they ve been proven to be effective.

Hey everyone- I posted a video in the Botox forum that I think might be of interest to this group:

Facial massage, an alternative to Botox?

Please feel free to watch it and comment in the forum, I'd love to hear if anyone has tried anything similar to this and how long it took to see results.  Check it out!

Technically we don't allow links to be posted on the site.  In this case, because you are just trying to find anyone who has tried this, I'm going to leave it- but just an FYI to everyone!  You can refer to our Terms of Service for more info.

And since I looked at the site- is it just me or do the before and afters look the same from a wrinkle perspective, the only difference seems to be lighting.

The changes in the photos at the top of the homepage are so minimal that we may not see much change, but I don't doubt to the models something feels different--like a firming up of their faces--or they would not have been comfortable to volunteer photos... Nor would Master Tiong be displaying photos that do not show his program as being effective. I don't know how long the models had been doing the program but old faces take longer to respond than younger ones, so that may explain why the subtle changes in the older models aren't obvious. The third lady's face shows remarkable improvement in her bags for instance...which may have happened in the same timeframe as the other ladies. Now at the bottom of the page is the poster model of the program, she has been doing it longer and the changes in her face are undeniable. Tear troughs and bags reduced, face filled out, neck better.... I actually did a comparison of the pictures on another forum to show that the difference in her face color has more to do with the background than lighting. If anyone is interested, send me a message and I will show you what I mean. If you still are not convinced, check out the Youtube videos made earlier at the start of her training vs later and you will see an increased firmness and tone to her face with passing time. There is someone I am friends with who has found the program to improve her eyes and if the change in the younger model on the homepage is a clue, then I know what she means.

Hi Jill, I apologize for posting this link! I had no idea it wasn't allowed. As far as the before and afters on the site, I thought the same thing about the 3 women shown on the top. However, I was referring to the women actually doing the facial massaging. I thought her before and after pics were pretty impressive. That's what actually drew me to the program. However, I did notice the backgrounds were different which I'm not sure if it changes much. This is why I asked for opinions on the program before buying it! :) Thanks

Oh I didn't look at her pics, just the ones at the top.  If you do buy it definitely keep us posted on how you like it.

Has anyone done the face exercises by one of the originals, Senta Maria Runge? I have her book and while lots is very similar to Eva Frasier, some are different. She gives quite a bit of other advice, including instructions on doing exercises 3 months, then taking a month off. Does anyone feel her exercises and advice is still applicable?

Hi KCfroggy: I own Senta Maria Runge's book and a lot of the exercises in her book are found in many of the newer programs because there are only so many ways to work the face. While I haven't done her program since I was already doing another program when I got it and the program had similar exercises, I do think it is a good program. I cannot speak on the 3 month break but when I did Eva Fraser, by the time I had mastered the Advanced program--which was many, many months since starting, I would go for a long spell without doing the exercises--although I cannot remember how long. I think it was in line with the 1991 edition's direction....plus I was young and didn't have any signs of aging. I think one way to gauge if you can afford so long a break is to see how your face looks. Personally if I started to notice things reverting to a look I didn't like, I'd shorten the break.
