Being physically beautiful, plays an important role in present day society. However, despite all this, one must understand that physical beauty cannot last forever and changes with age, and often the first signs of aging are particularly noticeable in the face, says a professional at the International Medical Clinic in Dubai.
The aesthetic correction of facial aging has long been the specialty of plastic surgeons and Dermatologist in Dubai who perform procedures such as chemical peeling, Botox and dermal fillers, laser treatment, face lifts, brow lifts, and in recent times, eyelid surgery.
The Facial Rejuvenation Clinic in Dubai explains that in recent years a less invasive and less expensive alternative to the medical approaches to facial rejuvenation has been promoted with facial exercises. There are a plethora of resources, books, DVD’s and websites with exercises that involve strength, movement or manipulation of the facial muscles. However, one must ask the question, if these exercises really do work?
The effectiveness of facial exercises has always been a topic of debate as it does raise some conflicting views. As some claim that facial exercises are an effective way to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, others point out that the overuse of facial muscles is often the cause of wrinkles and that facial exercises thus may have the opposite effect from what was intended.
There is very little research being carried out in this area to prove the effectiveness of exercises for facial rejuvenation. However, researchers have performed a systematic review of the medical literature and have identified only a few studies that examined the effects of facial muscle exercises on facial rejuvenation. One of the articles, namely, “The Effectiveness of Facial Exercises for Facial Rejuvenation,” which appears in the January issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, report a very convincing and positive outcome. Despite this, the quality of the available evidence appeared to be insufficient to determine whether facial exercises are effective for facial rejuvenation. The studies did not use a control group and in most studies, there was no objective assessment that took place. It was the authors and/or the patients themselves who concluded that there was an improvement, and it did not go beyond that.
Therefore, before you come to any conclusions about the usefulness of facial exercises, it has to be properly researched and should provide facts and figures to support any claims. Studies should be conducted with larger groups of participants and studies that compare treated with untreated patients and use objective measurements. Studies are also needed that compare various types of exercises, and it should be investigated if it makes a difference, how long and how intense the exercises should be.
The Skin Care Clinic in Dubai, explains that it is possible that facial exercises only work up to a certain age or when the signs of aging are still gentle on the appearance. But despite all this, does facial exercises for facial rejuvenation work? The only answer that the research allows is a 'maybe, but also maybe not, or maybe not always'.
