I've noticed that on platforms like .org, facial exercises are often dismissed as cope. At the same time, under videos like this one , there are numerous reports from people claiming visible improvements.
This raises several questions for me: Are these perceived changes the result of placebo effects? Or could there be underlying physiological mechanisms at play that are currently underestimated or not well understood?
Here are five specific examples from the comment section. I'm genuinely curious whether these subjective impressions correlate with measurable changes, or whether these individuals might be seeing what they want to see. How can this contradiction be reasonably explained?
User 1: “Bro, I stg, I never believed exercises like this could work so quickly, but when I tell you I see a difference in my jawline in literally four days! Y’all have to give these face exercises a try. 10/10 recommended!”
User 2: “Day 5: It’s day five, and my face has changed. My jawline is more defined, and my cheeks are less prominent.”
User 3: “Week 3: My jawline is way more defined.”
User 4: “I’ve been doing this workout for only four days, and there’s a big difference. My jawline is really noticeable now.”
User 5: “Random update, but I’m on my fourth day of this, and the changes, much to my surprise, are quite noticeable. […] Update: It’s been a while, and I’ve been doing this every day except for two days I missed. I can still see an increasing difference. My jaw feels stronger and more aligned now. My jawline is actually much sharper than when I started.”
