Hello Visitor and Welcome

I would like to take this opportunity to make a few very important points.

When you are involved in a field that is as controversial as facial training you simply are not allowed the luxury of ridicules hype or unfounded claims.  As the originator of Facialbuilding®, 1979, I have learned only too well the importance of being able to backup every claim I make regarding FlexEffect®.  Please take some reassurance in knowing that everything you see and read on this website I stand behind one hundred percent as do the many professionals you will also find here supporting FlexEffect®.

The most common argument regarding Facialbuilding® is that facial muscle is not the main culprit in facial aging but rather the loss of facial subcutaneous fat.  I must admit subcutaneous fat plays a huge roll but... the bottom line is this...

When it comes to elastic fiber, subcutaneous fat, and facial bonefacial muscle literally calls the shots.

Only when facial muscle begins to lose its proteins (protein fills the individual fibers of the muscle giving it size) will a domino effect take place…  When facial muscle atrophies, you begin to lose elastic fiber because the demand for such an abundant amount of elasticity is no longer needed for the stretching
of muscle and skin … the skin becomes slack.  Once the elastic fiber begins to break down (fibers become rigid due to lack of use and photo damage) a loss of subcutaneous fat takes place simply because it is stored between the fibers of the elastin, collagen, and to some degree within the muscle itself.  Just as important… the atrophying of muscle will also bring about the loss of bone… another reason for a flattening of the face as we age.

Bottom line
:

The longer you   keep facial muscles strong and highly elastic they will ...

(1) continue to put stress on the bone, retarding bone loss. 
(2) maintain the demand for supple healthy elastic fiber (elasticity)
(3) slow down the loss of subcutaneous fat and collagen.  

It’s a proven fact, (see my research page)  when you rebuild muscle you do much to replace elastic fiber, collagen, and subcutaneous fat.    

So… When a person's face begins to fill-out due to Facialbuilding that person is not just looking at underlining muscle, he or she is also looking at everything that has been lost over the years.

Does it take more than Facialbuilding? Ooooooh Yeah

Skin care regime: Whatever works well for you.  When something new comes out, I want to be the mouse!  I'm always changing mine.

Remolding agent: Such as Retin-A or Copper Peptide.  I use both.

Sunblock:  An absolute must.

Vitamins - Minerals:  I take just for skin alone,  MSM 6 grams a day / Vit. C 6 grams a day / Fish Oil (omega 3) 4 grams a day  Folic Acid 8mg twice a day.
