To reduce my upper eyelid exposure I am applying the eyelid pulling method, and I wondered what was the most effective method to do it.
In this regard, I found a medical-scientific article that could explain how eyelid pulling could work, of which I quote:
"when the skin is stretched to a constant distance, tension initially rises and gradually decreases over time, resulting in stress relaxation. Repeated stress relaxation causes permanent elongation of the skin. These biomechanical mechanisms enable skin stretchers to transcend the limitations of traditional sutures".
The fundamental question is to find the ideal stretching time and strength since, again quoting the article:
"excessive stimulation can cause tissue damage, loss of mechanical properties, decreased cellular responsiveness, and apoptosis".
What do you think about it? Do you think it is better to pull harder for short periods of time, or to do a lighter but prolonged stretch?
Or maybe alternate both?
