There’s always two sides to every story, for me FE actually got rid of my NL’s – albeit unintentionally. I don’t know how old you are, but believe me that’s a factor I consider in how fast/slow results come. I was in my 50’s when I started facial exercises and probably have done them all – and by far I always had kind of resigned myself to the fact that I would have NLs, and they didn’t bother me in the slightest so when the 3rd edition of FlexEffect was published, I had been waiting around for it for quite a while and got it and tried it out and it wasn’t me who noticed by NLs going but my dh. He shocked me one morning with a comment and I ran to the mirror to look and sure enough my NLs had lessened substantially to about half of what they were. They didn’t vanish overnight, but you know they’re gone now and good riddens in my book!
Nonie’s experience was unfortunate but it was prior to the 3rd edition, and also at a time when the forum was in its early stages and not staffed regularly I believe, but just wanted to throw this out there as I know at one point I got scarred reading Nonie’s comments on a different forum, and it did give me doubts but having done CFF, Facial Magic, Eva Fraser and a host of others (including the 2nd edition of FlexEffect) I gave it a try and am so glad I did.
Some programs I found don’t tackle the lower face. For example Ageless was fantastic fro my cheeks but did nada for my lower face. Lou explains why in her book she doesn’t think you should exercise them intensely but for us older gals you need that extra boost sometimes and when I don’t exercise my lower face I can see the difference! Just food for thought and wishing you the best of luck in solving this!

 I'd considered trying FE, but after doing a little research into their program I decided it wasn't for me. Now I'm doubly glad I didn't invest in it.
Any additional input is welcome  |

Thanks for the good wishes. What I'm doing presently is a modified version of Ageless (for the most part) that utilizes isometric resistance rather than dynamic. My face is much happier now, and I've added a killer platysma exercise that I'm in the process of tweaking (I wanted to tone the muscle but was using waaaay too much resistance and got build instead). If I'm still happy with this "program" in a few months, maybe I'll post a description of the exercises for anyone who's interested in trying something new. I've spent countless hours studying facial muscular anatomy to ensure that the exercises do what they're supposed to...so far, so good. *knock on wood* |
I would love to read a description of this exercise you are referring to. Please share it with us when you get a chance. |
