How did you get started in FlexEffect?
I began teaching Facial Exercise in 1976. At that time, Isometrics were the only form of facial training known to the public. A year later, still teaching Facial Isometrics Dalvin Tomlinson Shirt , I became interested in weightlifting and soon after stepped into competitive bodybuilding. This move called for a marked reduction in body fat. Consequently, this loss of fat had an aging effect on my face. As a Facial Trainer this was not an acceptable trade-off!
I had no intention of giving up bodybuilding, but determined to remedy my dilemma. On a hunch that resistance training could add fullness to my face in the same way it did to my body, I decided to convert each Isometric exercise into an exercise using resistance. This was the beginning of 'Facial Resistance Training' Est.1979
Knowing what it took to increase muscle density (fullness), I knew resistance training would be far more aggressive than the facial training I had been doing. This took a lot of nerve on my part since I Evan Engram Shirt , too, had been duped into thinking any handling of the face could prove detrimental. When I described my new training technique, which I later dubbed ?FlexEffect? as ?an extension of bodybuilding? or ?facialbuilding?, fellow trainers thought I was out of my mind. Frankly, I wasn?t so sure they weren?t on to something.
Much to my relief B.J. Hill Shirt , my hunch paid off. A very short time proved facial muscles to be every bit as responsive to resistance training as the rest of the body. My face was still thin, but with the extra lift and firmness, I went from gaunt to a healthier more athletic look.
Who would benefit?
Everyone. A better question would be: who would get the most out of it? The answer to this question is the person who starts early, before the signs of aging set in. For them, time stands still. However Will Hernandez Shirt , the majority of testimonials reporting excellent results are not from the early birds; they are from the late starters -- men and women ages 45, 50 and up.
Would you say FlexEffect is better than a surgical face-lift?
FlexEffect is not a magic bullet. There are those with such sun damage and advanced facial aging that they may never be able to achieve all they hope for in training. But that doesn?t mean they can?t get all the benefits that only training can offer.
Cosmetic surgery can alleviate lines and sag but it cannot replace the fullness of the face. In most cases surgery flattens the face, which is why so many women have cheek implants inserted at the time of their surgery. The exact opposite is true of facialbuilding. FlexEffect does a beautiful job replacing fullness, considered to be the most youthful feature of the face.
Those who start facialbuilding while their face is still firm could expect to erase the need for surgery indefinitely. Many late starters with an excessive amount of sun damage and sag may still find they get enough return from their training to forego a major facelift.
