Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: need info on how to reverse/stop mid-face/neck sagging

Face exercises are a series muscle building techniques that are supposed to lift, firm, and build up the underlying sagging muscles of the face and neck. Providing that lost volume we notice as we age. Face exercises are not supposed to be just about wrinkles, but about droopy, sagging facial contours.
Face exercise instructors state that all the muscles of the face are internconnected and by working one (let say the upper cheek) you also firm those that are connected to that cheek muscle.
They also state that by these specific exercises your stimulating collagen production due to the massaging effect on the skin.
An example of a face exercises - for the upper cheeks - would be to place two fingers on top of the upper cheek. Then smile while using those fingers to push or keep that muscle from rising upward. Sort of like an isometric workout.
Different instructors have different exercises - but from what I can see - they all seem to target the same muscles.....some more aggressive than others.
I really don't know for sure how effective they are. I've been doing them (several different ones) off and on for over 15 years and I feel that they might be in part responsible for how I look (not too much droop yet :-) at age 53......)
However, I'll never know - because it could be my face structure, genetics.....etc.... I have naturally high cheek bones and was told that this type of face shape doesn't show age as quickly.
I can tell you that the people who do the exercises regularly - especially the instructors - look fantastic for their age. So, I do think that maybe they work - but I think the key is - you have to do them on a regular basis.
Sarah - I'd love your opinion? What say you about face exercises?
Thanks
