What do you think about using an electrical stimulation machine to firm up facial muscles? I'm on a facial exercise regimen - which I'm going to try for 4 mos & I also have a electrical muscle stimulator - which I'm using on my facial muscles - we'll see what happens.

Answer: Electrical stimulation There are some studies showing improvements albeit mild on patients who do certain facial excercise over a long period of time. Electrical stimulation may mimic such excercises by stimulating muscle contracture. But it seems like a arduous way to seek very mild rejuvenative benefits, i.e. a long run for a short slide.

Answer: Electrical stimulation with at-home therapies will not work A TENS unit or (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine may be good for chronic condition such as back pain or with help in facial nerve disorders after injury to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), however, to my knowledge, there has been no randomized controlled study to show any efficacy in tightening the muscles or skin of the face. The muscles and their covering the SMAS need lifting and repositioning. The overlying skin will need tailoring and any areas of excess fat will need to be sculpted. This is traditionally done, in my practice, through a high-lamellar or deep plane facelift whereby the retaining ligaments of the face are lysed and the mid face as well as lower face can be rejuvenated. Please consult only with board-certified facial plastic or plastic surgeons when having someone perform this operation.

Answer: Unlikely to work It would be best to save your money. Stimulating your face with a machine will not likely work. Thanks
