Significance
-
Your face and neck contain many muscles, which can become weaker as you age, contributing to sagging skin and wrinkles.
Benefits
-
Facial Concepts, the distributor of the Facial-Flex, claims that with eight weeks of use, you can get "up to a 250 percent increase in facial muscle tone and a 32 percent increase in facial skin firming."
-
Use
-
The Facial-Flex is placed between the corners of your mouth. You then flex it by pressing and releasing, for about two minutes. It uses elastic bands available in different levels of resistance, so you can increase the resistance as your muscles become stronger.
Therapeutic Uses
-
The Facial-Flex was originally developed to help burn patients regain control of their facial muscles. The device is also used for speech disorders involving weakness or lack of coordination.
Considerations
-
While the Facial-Flex may help with toning muscles, such devices are unlikely to help with other causes of sagging and wrinkles, such as loss of collagen and loosening of ligaments, says Judy Foreman on MyHealthSense.com.

Interesting post about the original possible therapeutic benefits (if "administered" by a professional). I've never used Facial Flex, but please be aware that some who have used the product have claimed that it actually gave them new lines on the face.
