I didn't expect to leave a review this soon.
*I really wish sellers wouldn't ask me to review purchases I can't possibly have used long enough to actually see any results. Cut it out!!!*
After using this for about a week and a half, I went through drive thru at the pharmacy to pick up some medications. I go to the pharmacy once a month, nearly always the drive thru, where they have those horrible, low quality video cameras. Even worse, my own image is shown right back to me. I hate seeing my face in those cameras! I always hope I don't really look at bad as that!!!
So I was at my regular pharmacy in the drive thru sitting in front of that camera, avoiding looking at my image when I caught a glance of myself. This time, I didn't look away in horror. I was amazed to see that I looked so much better. No make-up that day, no contouring to disguise the jowls. My hair was pulled back so I could clearly see all of my face. I actually stared at my jawline. It was definitely not wishful thinking. I'm my own worst critic.
I've been using a spa quality at home micro-current device for 3 years now. I've had exceptional results in the eye and forehead area. I've been very happy with that part of my face.
To get any real results below the eyes takes a huge amount of time daily, much much longer than 2 minutes. I do a lot of other things to my face including derma planing, derma rolling, red light therapy, masks, etc., etc..... Doing all of of things takes significantly less time than one session of micro-current on every part of my face below the eyes for barely noticeable results. I just don't have time to do all of that on a daily basis.
This device has cut down A LOT on my anti-aging routine, less than half the time I use to put into my face to get real results. And a lot more convenient. I can throw it in my purse if I'm running short on time.
I'm very happy with this purchase and very glad I bought it.
I'm not ready to post before pictures, but I will after I feel enough time has passed, but mostly when I'm ready to give my jawline another hard look.
A note about my before and after pictures.
I've noticed that all 'before and after' pictures I've seen are in different lighting, the person is not wearing make-up in the before, the image quality is different, better in the after, the angle is different. In my opinion, this isn't a reliable comparison. I'm taking my pictures in my closet with the door closed. Same horrible light, same camera, same image quality settings, no filters. All variables exactly the same, including where I am positioned in relation to the light source. I even made a note of the light bulb itself in case it burns out!

How To Use Facial-Flex
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Step 1After cleansing your face, apply a moisturizer to your face, chin, and neck. This will help condition your skin for the exercise and enhance the effects of the device. |
Step 2Place the Facial-Flex device horizontally between your lips, resting the plastic ends in the corners of your mouth. Make sure the wider part of the white mouth piece goes inside of the mouth and not on the outside. Also, make sure the Flex-Band is placed properly on the mounts. Never put the device completely inside your mouth. |
Step 3Lean slightly forward and lift your chin until it is level. This will extend the muscles of your neck under your chin. |
Step 4Shape your lips into an oval, flattening your upper lip so it covers your top teeth. Fully compress the device, and then gradually release the compression, allowing Facial-Flex to fully extend by pulling back the corners of your mouth. Recommended to spend just 2 minutes with our mouth exerciser in the morning and at night. |
Select the Right Band Resistance
Flex-Bands are available in 6 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. As you become comfortable with the face-toning exercises, you will need to transition to a higher resistance to continue seeing improvement. Changing to a higher resistance challenges your muscles, increasing their strength and face-toning capability. For optimum results, the Flex-Bands must be changed weekly. The bands fatigue and the resistance decreases with use. Do not use more than one Flex-Band at a time.
Best Practices for Usage
Facial-Flex is carefully calibrated to achieve maximum results in a minimum amount of time. Do not exceed the 2-minute exercises morning/evening regimen. As your facial muscles become firmer and stronger, use a higher level of Flex-Bands for optimal results. Also, remember to change the Flex-Band each week.
Important Tips
- Exercise slowly, keeping your teeth separated about one inch and your lips away from the metal bars. Your mouth should be an oval.
- Keep out of reach of small children.
- Never use while driving or in a moving vehicle.
- Use care if you have chapped lips or cold sores.
Additional Tips
- Facial-Flex is a personal exercise device—do not share with others.
- Avoid “puckering” your upper lip when compressing the device into the shape of an “O.”
- Stop exercising when your facial muscles feel tired and sore.
- Replace the Flex-Band every week to maintain a consistent level of resistance.

A great product!!!!
This product is great! At first I thought this product wasn't going to work or not live up to the expectations but I'm shocked to say that it's quite the opposite. I started to use the Facial Flex as soon as i got it and let me just tell you two minutes of using this product-you will start to feel the burn in your cheeks, jaw and neck!! However, do be mindful that you have to use the Facial Flex for 60 days and do it twice a day before you can see any results!I'm also happy to say that they will give you extra bands (Awesome!!!!) since you have to change the bands once a week.Overall, I highly recommend to use the Facial Flex, if you wish to tone your face and prevent wrinkles or loose skin around the neck You will see a difference along with other facial exercise and proper dieting.
