Facial exercises: If you deadass want the easiest looksmax buy a PAO machine knock off. The pao machine was tested for 30 seconds twice a day for 8 weeks: "The cross-sectional areas of the zygomaticus major and digastric muscles increased significantly (...) while the midfacial surface distances in the middle (...) planes as well as the jawline surface distances (right: P = 0.004, left: P = 0.003) decreased significantly after FME using the Pao device. The lower facial surface areas (right: P = 0.005, left: P = 0.006) and volumes (right: P = 0.001, left: P = 0.002) were also significantly reduced after FME using the Pao device." Basically everythign that we would want. Read the study here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5888959/. Another study, not using the Pao device took a sample of middle-aged women and wanted to see if the facial exercises "reversed aging". Basically meaning that they are training the muscles -- the muscles become stronger and therefore reinforce the structure of the face and the "sagginess". See results below.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): These arent expensive and there are many studies to back them up. You can buy them cheap on Amazon for less than 100$.
One study from 2024 applied high‑frequency facial NMES on one side and standard care on the other for 8 weeks. The NMES-treated side showed significant improvements in:
Skin elasticity and wrinkle depth (p < 0.05)
Jawline angle (p < 0.01)
Submental and cheek volume (p < 0.05)
Nasolabial fold depth (p = 0.03)
Blood flow (p < 0.05)
You can access this study here: https://www.researchgate.net/public..._Beauty_Device_on_the_Facial_Skin_Improvement.
Another study took women (mean age ~44) who used a facial NMES device 20 min/day, 5 days/week for 12 weeks. They saw a: 18.6% increase in zygomaticus muscle thickness (p = 0.0001). In addition ≥ 80% of users noted improved firmness, tone, and lift (control < 5%) (p < 0.001)
Lipus Machine: None of you are getting this but its by far the best one. I made a thread on it before it promotes growth and the differentiation of osteoblasts and stem cells. It activates Integrin–FAK–PI3K–Akt pathways which are crucial for bone remodeling and bone growth and also Wnt/β-Catenin signaling which promotes osteogenesis and more. Look at the studies yourself its clear it works.
Hard Chewing: Obviously its well known just wanted to provide some evidence that it does work. Ill go through this one quickly: In cases with craniofacial deformities studies show masticatory stress promotes mid‑face growth and forward shifting of the maxilla (https://journals.lww.com/jcraniofac...anges_after_trans_sutural.30.aspx?)...studies show that softer diets reduce stress on jaw bones, resulting in smaller mandibles and maxillary arches up to ~10% less growth, compared to hard diets (https://www.sleepclinic.be/wp-conte...raniofacial-growth-in-a-retrognathic-face.pdf) opposite can be implied that eating/chewing hard foods would result in more growth in the mandible and maxillary arches. A 2021 study on adolescents (ages 12–18) with anterior open bite reported 3 months of muscle training normalized chewing/swallows and improved craniofacial muscle balance key for facial harmonization (https://bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12903-021-01605-0).
I made this thread in like an hour so ill think and see if i can remember anything new, formatting is ass so imma get a LOT of dnr's but this is high quality.
