Is facial treatment necessary when using Athira?
The reason why facial exercise can have little to no benefit is because loss of muscle tone is not a major cause of wrinkles or sagging skin. The 4 major factors are deteriorated collagen and elastin (due primarily to sun damage), depletion of the skin’s fat layer (a factor of genetic aging and gravity), repetitive facial movement (particularly true for the forehead frown lines and smiles lines from the nose to the mouth) and lastly, muscle sagging is due to the loosening of facial ligaments that hold the muscles in place. No research or studies demonstrate facial exercise as being helpful because it would create more wrinkling and increase the loss of elasticity in the skin.
