Facial rejuvenation procedures remain some of the most common cosmetic treatments, due, in part, to the fact that everyone will experience the natural signs of aging at some point. But more women and men than ever before are seeking nonsurgical alternatives to the traditional surgical procedures like facelifts, brow lifts, and even eyelid surgery.<\/p>\n

In fact, researchers have begun to test the theory that facial exercises may be able to yield similar results to other methods of facial rejuvenation. But just how effective is facial exercise when it comes to combatting the signs of aging?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Link between Facial Exercises and Facial Rejuvenation<\/span><\/h3>\n

The research, published in the <\/span>Aesthetic Surgery Journal<\/span><\/i>, defines facial exercises as \u201cexercises implying strength, movement, or manipulation of facial muscles.\u201d This excluded alternative medicine practices like acupuncture and acupressure, as well as nonsurgical approaches like BOTOX<\/span>?<\/span>, chemical peels, and laser treatment. Thus, the aim of the study was to really home in on the possibility that non-medical procedures could have anti-aging benefits for your skin\u2019s health and appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Various groups of men and women performed different sets of facial exercises for durations lasting between 2 to 12 weeks. But these groups were relatively small, highly individualized, and were not compared to a control group that didn\u2019t perform any exercises at all. There was some subjective evidence that pointed to a positive effect on facial rejuvenation due to the exercise. However, \u201ct<\/span>he evidence to date is insufficient to determine whether facial exercises are effective for facial rejuvenation\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Aesthetic Surgery Journal<\/span><\/i><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Effective Medical Spa Procedures<\/span><\/h3>\n

While objective clinical trials need to be completed to really determine whether or not facial exercises could play a role in reducing the signs of facial aging, there are a number of tried and true nonsurgical cosmetic procedures that have been proven to be very effective. It also may very well be the case that facial exercises performed in conjunction with some types of medical spa procedures could prove to be beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n
