Dr I'm a 40 year old Asian male. I had my first frown like a few years ago on my forehead. It happened overnight and I was frightened. The frown line caused a dimple on my forehead if I opened my eyes widely. It was so bad I considered Botox. Therefore I put retin a cream along with ponds lotion and taped my forehead when I went to sleep. 2 years later my frown line is literally gone. I think some things may work for people and some things won't. Those who tape foreheads have seen results. That's why we still do it. It worked like a miracle for me. God bless.
I just tried this, I moisturized my face first then put tape on left it for 10 minutes and my lines disappeared 😮. But I think it also depends on your skin type.
I have started wearing Frownies and then I stopped for a few days. I started seeing my lines again. It's true, certain tapes really train your muscles along with a conscience effort: The difference for me is massive. I'm wearing my Frownies again tonight.
in between of not lifting them… it’s the in between part that helps and why she doesn’t have wrinkles when lifting her eyebrows for demonstration purposes
Dr. Youn, I'm 64 and love your whole channel. I think so much 'damage' does occur when we sleep, that limiting the parts you squash for hours during sleep, helps. If started young, sleeping in healthy positions, avoiding excessive chemical damage, and using good natural products, (like yours!) can reduce the need for tape, lol. I just wish I'd noticed this at 25, instead of 45! Genes help a whole lot, too. You young people will live much longer and look better doing it! Keep making such great content, I share you a lot! Thankyou! 👍💖🥰✌
I use a cosmetic type of tape on my 11's and forehead every night. It does soften lines over time. It stops you from using those muscles in your face at night. Believe me, it works.
Interesting this short showed up in my feed mere minutes after my husband asked me what that patch is on my forehead! (Frownies) Yes, they work, because they prevent your skin from crinkling up while you sleep. I have only been using them for a short time, and notice a difference. I also do facial exercises and have benefited greatly from them. This Doctor makes lots of money, no doubt, on Botox and other “lifting” procedures. Of course (for him), Frownies and other products of that nature “don’t work”.
@@kitanamorgan7491 same and I was kinda feeling bad about that even though I wouldn't want to do something to change them but knowing other people my age have the same makes me feel better.
I made myself learn how to move my eyebrows independently so I could show emotion easier with masks (Also because it's a cool party trick to go along with wiggling my ears and flaring my nostrils lmao)
but in another shorts, doctor said wrinkles can be removed by applying scotch tape. its like fixing the skin bent on a particular area over the period of time
Tape really works but you get results not in just 1 week Kineiosology tapes reduces the movement of forehead muscle and this reall really help in reducing wrinkles I use scarf and tie it around my forehead(lit but tight) so as to stop the movement of forehead muscle. I generally do it at night or when I am studying (cause while I study use my forehead muscle too much) but it really really work These tapes are worth trying they are better than botox
Yep in my early 20s here and honestly just less complaints and spiteful and angry all the time. Instead, be grateful, cheerful and patient always. This make me and everyone I know glow with grace and beauty from the inside out. Wrinkles are only ugly to those who are scared of natural growth.
@@Paramore_your_Decode that’s so rude lmao. You’re sick of people for trying to keep up with beauty standards?? As someone in my twenties, there is CONSTANT reminder around me in media and in daily life that I’m starting to age and that’s terrible and ugly. It’s wrong but it’s a very heavy weight. I don’t have wrinkles yet but I’m literally terrified of it and use a ridiculous amount of skin care to try and prevent it. Be sick of society and the beauty standard. Not the ppl just trying to survive
Hmm, I think it actually CAN help. I used to have "crow feet" but not because of ageing but from sleeping xD... I couldn't control the way I slept and my skin folded when I was laying on the pillow but when I started putting tapes on these areas it blocked my skin from folding and it worked 🤷♀️ no more crow feet 🤩
Just get some clean hair jelly or some healthy sticky residue safe for skin that’s clear and put a like down the middle so if feels like somethings there but you can’t see it so it’s like a constant reminder
I decided not to obsess with getting older and looking older. It’s inevitable and if a man tells me that I need to get procedures done on my face to look beautiful… no thank you! We need to normalize wrinkles, stretch marks, size, and etc. We’re not Barbies.
I def prefer to use frownies instead of regular tape. More comfy and come in specific shapes for the area. This kind of thing works for me because i tend to make some crazy expression in my sleep and i wake up with lines.
my cousin has been doing this for 30+ years. she, at almost 60, is virtually wrinkle free. i am too much of a serum & moisturizer to do this.. or, to use those silicone patches 🤷♀️
I use medical tape for smile lines and I use serum too! I just keep it on the fine lines and not all over my face. It works to help seal/penetrate the product too.
Buy one of those little portable handheld fans people use to cool off and put it by your skin care products, use it to dry the serums before you put on the tape
I think it also depends on how you sleep because if you're like me and sleep with your face smooshed in the pillow it causes wrinkles. Using tape can keep the skin smoothed out in its place so that doesn't happen and it helps.
This is so interesting but real question: how do you moisturize and still get the tape to stick all night and not end up in your hair by morning? Which is more important? Moisturizer or tape?
I have a muscle bump due to concentration and focus, I dont frown a lot, but got it from there, I don't wanna have eleven line so starting today I put kinesiology tape and do face massage hope the muscle will get flat
My mother was always telling me to stop making exaggerated faces, like if I was surprised or angry, instead of knitting or lifting brows, I use my eyes. And she said the same thing, to reduce the possibility of creating wrinkles.
My ex used to tell me this, and i did it until now and will always do, but i told my mom once and she told me to just stop smiling so there'll be no smile line and wrinkles around the eyes 😀
I used to wake up with deepened lines on my face. I just sleep with my face smooshed in to the pillow. Since I use tapes I look much better in the morning and overall. I think taping works as a prevention.
I have triangle shaped wrinkles between my eyes and i have gotten rid of them by taping that spot with fiest aid tape every night at bedtime. Been doing it for about a year and a half now. I am 60 years old and i am very happy with the results!
It works. I do it. It definitely can be preventative. It may not disable the underlying muscles, but the nothing of the actual skin underneath, and not allowing the skin to crease even when your frowning is what give ppl this result. It must be consistent, as long as you tend to frown, you must keep up wearing them. Good training for those muscles for sure.
I do it every night I’m 54. All it does for me is stop me scrunching up my face when sleeping. 30 mins after I take tape off my wrinkles are back as they were before I taped them. Maybe doing taping from an early age early 20’s etc, by the time the persons is in their 50’s they may notice it’s helped somewhat. Doesn’t work for me I just try to prevent the wrinkles I have already from deepening further. Good luck to those if you who it does work for. Wish I’d started in my 20’s but todays videos on such things didn’t exist in my 20’s.
i dont know if you have are aware of it at all but Rammstein made a Song thats basically about plastic surgery. im not sure if this could become a video as it is on german and that might be a language barrier too big to cross hehe. though im almost sure theres translations somewhere, but that might be too much work xD.
@@teichii I'm German too but I wouldn't want to rely on the translation of RU-vid commenters if I were to make content of it. Also in retrospect it's not a good idea to "react" to music or music videos for dmca and copyright reasons alone.
Of course it works. Did you not hear the doctor? He said, "just like botox it reminds you not to move your muscles". Thats what botox does. It paralyses the muscles so they dont move. Muscles have memory and if you train them to stop moving then they will stop moving and stop creating wrinkles. Is it as good as botox? Absolutely not? Is it safer than botox? 100 %. And does it work? Absolutely
I have to disagree bc I used tape and it worked to smooth out my forehead and lift my eye lids everyone noticed , at first it hurt the muscles but now they are used it and look way smoother so Im sticking to it instead of botox
People with heavily hooded eyes who raise their eyebrows every nano second : crying in corner Guys I feel you maybe we’re doomed to have these wrinkles I’m not even a grown up and my fine lines are getting stronger everyday 😭😭😭
Disagree Doc. This really helps. A lot. It’s NOT because it reminds you not to move your eyebrows. Just try it ladies. He’s not giving a “medical “ opinion - he’s guessing, nothing more. It works.
I have 11 lines between eyebrows and it appears at night...so i also use the tape after applying vitamine e oil .. morning the line disappear..but need to do continuously...i use scotch tape..
So right. My 65 yr old mom has been putting scotch tape on her elevens (between eyebrows) for years. It prevents her from involuntarily creating them while she sleeps! But I tried it myself and I have a reaction to the glue used on the tape, sad for my elevens 😮💨
this is so true. I rarely move my eyebrows and have no wrinkles on my forehead. on the other hand I have deep smile lines cause I talk and eat a lot... :(
Is it just me or is the timing of her wrinkle filter off by a few frames? There are a couple of shots where her “wrinkles” suddenly just pops in, then pops out… 🤔
I remember being so vain. Worrying about so many little things is exhausting. Thankfully with age I've come to realize that I don't care what people think about me.
I have thick ass eyebrows, I can't just not use them lmao. Props to you if you don't want wrinkles, but I don't think I could communicate without my eyebrows.
I use my eyebrows a lot w communication but trying to get rid of forehead wrinkles. I watched a video of this woman explaining muscles in your face and she said if you want to reduce forehead wrinkles, use the muscles around your eyes to express yourself
I have a question. Ok so, I have a big lip because i face planted in to a car (on a bike at full speed). It’s been a day and it doesn’t look better, do you have any advice?
I have had luck in minimizing my forehead lines with super-hydration (7 servings of 20oz of water in a day) and moisturizing skin every few hours, combined with collagen supplements
but what about the adhesive in the tape? it is surely not meant to be put on your skin and especially not over night. I think this is still a bad idea and will make your skin break out.
It was an over the top routine for a teenager. You don’t need that many steps in your skincare routine when you’re that age and it won’t make you age slower because your body is still producing ample collagen and can’t form lasting wrinkles before 25.
@@lilballerina you're talking about Sydney Sweeney? She recently started using all those products because while she was a teenager she couldn't find a routine and that made her sensitive skin even worse. So becs of that, her skin barrier is very compromised. She also has to wear heavy makeup now for shooting so she gotta use whatever her derm recommends otherwise her skin will literally peel off. Her skin is finally doing so good tho, I remember a few years ago it was inflamed and blood red and now you can't even tell that she used to have such bad skin. So happy for her!!
