Facial masks can cleanse the skin and leave it looking and feeling smooth for a few minutes to a few hours. As the mask dries, it produces a tightening, tingling feeling that makes one think something is happening. There is no scientific evidence to support the claims that facials will prevent skin from aging or reverse changes that have already occurred. No, they do not. The opposite is true.
Facial movements cause wrinkles.
Wrinkles actually flatten out and sometimes disappear in persons whose face muscles are paralyzed because of a stroke or nervous disease. Some physicians use face lifts, dermabrasion, TCA peels , laser resurfacing or collagen injections to smooth out wrinkles. Face lifts, dermabrasions, and laser resurfacing are significant surgical procedures. They are expensive, painful, and require several weeks for recovery. While sometimes these produce a great deal of improvement, this is not always the case.
