After weeks of digging through medical literature and community logs, I’ve put together a realistic, no-nonsense protocol for using IGF-1 DES to enhance lateral cheekbone projection through targeted localized injections.
This is not for systemic growth. This is for bone remodeling via localized IGF-1 stimulation in the zygomatic area.

Disclaimer: This is a personal experimental protocol based on theory, anecdotal reports, and indirect scientific data. Proceed at your own risk. Tldr: I’m not a doctor bla bla
Objective:Increase lateral zygomatic projection (cheekbone width/structure/oge curve) through subq or IM injections of IGF-1 DES


Protocol Overview
Compound: IGF-1 DES
Dosage: 30–50 mcg per side (total 60–100 mcg/day)
Frequency: Once daily to Twize daily
Injection site: Directly lateral to the zygomatic bone, slightly under or posterior to it (depending on your own facial structure)
Cycle format:4 weeks on 2 weeks off

Cycle repetition strategy [(My hypothesis)(based on individual response)]:
Response | Recommended cycling In future |
No sides | Continue cycling until your goal is reached |
Mild sides | only do 1-2 cycles max, to see how your body responds |
Moderate side effects | Stop after the cycle/ir it’s getting worse |
Extreme sides | stop immediately if you don’t want to rope |
Note: Bone remodeling is slow and delayed. Visible effects can continue to develop weeks after discontinuation.Also yuo could try to bonesmash during the cycle, for mechanical tension.
Btw that’s my first thread of this kind and took really long.
Lmk if I’m in the wrong in some cases, or missed anything. If any one reads till here, tysm, for your attention.
