"..As a Scientist in the field of aging reversal and skin remodeling, I personally want to congratulate Deborah Crowley on her design and development of what     she coined in 1979, Facialbuilding. Her non-surgical Program “FlexEffect Facial Resistance Training” has literally revolutionized Facial Reconstruction Alternatives. When used with proven skin remodeling agents, Deborah Crowley's Facialbuilding program will definitely speed the development of a much more youthful and wrinkle-free face."

"..As a physical therapist for 28 years, I have treated many patients with conditions that resulted in facial muscle weakness or paralysis.  I wish that I had know about the FlexEffect p program years age.  After viewing Deb Crowley's program I realized that my exercise programs for facial muscle training were inadequate and I was under training my patients from the neck up.  Deb's program reminded me that for optimal results, all the muscles of the head and neck must be trained, not just a few.  All the facial muscles work together to maintain the contour of the face and control the movement of the forehead, eyes, nose, jaw and mouth.  Deb's program is easy to follow.  She clearly explains each exercise and demonstrates proper technique."

"... I needed an exercise program to recommend to my patients and my internet search produced eight of them.  Deb's FlexEffect was the program with the best strength training focus.  Combining her bodybuilding expertise with a thorough knowledge of facial musculature, she has developed a program that makes sense  physiologically.   Loss of muscle is not the only cause of aging of the face.  Decrease of fat pads, thinning of the layers of the skin, damage by ultraviolet light, poor nutrition all contribute.  However, Facialbuilding may well be one of the most important ways we can help slow the aging process." 

"...I have been doing FlexEffect for over a year.  My results, to say the least, have been fantastic.  I practice them about 20 -25 minutes almost every day.

From a scientific standpoint, facial exercises unquestionably work.  Much as an applied program of bodybuilding strengthens and enlarges the skeletal muscles, as well as tone and tighten the overlying skin, facial exercises do the same.  The skin and muscles in the face sag with time.  A regular applied program of facial exercise will strengthen and lift them, and tome and tighten the overlying skin as well.

Unfortunately, there are still many surgeons that refute claims of the efficacy of facial exercises.   It may simply be that they are not familiar with the programs or techniques.   It's unimaginable to think, from a physiological point of view, that the effects of weight training stop at the neck."
