My thoughts are that all this slapping and facial manipulation/stimulation causes temporary swelling of tissues, resulting in a Fuller, firmer face. The key word here being TEMPORARY.
Agreed!!!
I use the Silk'n Titan RF, LED, IR machine. I have been doing it for 2 months and it has made very little difference in my face. However, immediately after a treatment, my skin has swollen slightly which gives me a better look. So I can get the same look with my device which costs less than one of those treatments. I think Dr. Linkov makes a great point about age. I am in my early 70's and I am thinking that's why I have had poor results with the Titan. I will say it has lessened the crow's feet and my skin feels firmer, but really doesn't look it. I will keep it up, as my skin continues to age.
It think it only looks like "slapping" because the tissue swings back and forth. But as she said in the video it was more of a fast gliding motion that did not hurt or feel uncomfortable. If the slapped her so hard, that her face would swell, she would be red afterwards. But she wasn't. To me this belongs in the realm of placebo.
I use it on my my throat down ward and I noticed that I drain alot from the nose
Came here to comment exact same thing!
I've gone on a huge binge of everything on your channel over the past few days and I have learned so much its insane! Love how educational and informative all of your videos are, and your level of professionalism even on these little reaction videos is so refreshing.
same here!! thanks to Dr. Gary
Thanks for this vid! Can you do more evaluations of facials and other non-surgical treatments? Like micro needling, lasers, etc?
Yep!
I'm 53 and well into the saggy and wrinkly bits of aging and am horrified by plastic surgery, but I do love this channel! You're such an honest and intelligent guy and you remind me of my father - he had alopecia too, as well as my aunt. I love the positivity you teach as well as all the great medical information (I'm a nurse). Wonderful stuff!
Ain’t nothing wrong with wrinkles!
“Debunking” videos tend to do super well on youtube (see Ann Reardon, Dr. Chris Raynor, or the “tech support” vids on Wired.) I think it might be a good type of content for you to explore further beyond this video, because you come from a place of some authority on these topics. Great video!
Good point, thanks. I try to do that without calling it debunking. Will continue to explore that genre.
@@drgarylinkov that makes sense, no reason to create controversy with other creators👍
Im a cosmetic nurse working at a med spa and we always let patients know that results from our lifting facials are temporary!
Good for you, Sue.
Idk if its just me but I find your voice and demeanor so incredibly comforting. I would love to hear you read positive affirmations or motivational quotes.
I’m not a doctor but upon seeing this sinuses bit I couldn’t stop laughing 😆
as someone w chronic sinusitis with polyps(under control now thanks to a great surgeon🙏🏼) id love some ent content. I know its not as appealing as plastic surgery but im theres a lot of people suffering w sinus issues and tons of pseudoscience and scams are pushed their way
Yes! more ent stuff! I thought my nasal airway issues were normal for years because I just didn't know that I was supposed to be able to breathe through my nose.
Your genuine candor and gentle humour, why we love you so much! Thanks for your comments which crack us up while you teach us things!
Interesting treatment! I’m sure it feels nice and maybe it leaves the face feeling fresh like actual exercise would, but I can’t understand paying so much for something that’s not proven to do anything long term! Great response video as always
The Skin IV machine is literally a JetPeel with the FaceGym branding plastered over it.
Correct!
Thanks Dr.Linkov for busting some of these short term aging fixes, beauty tools, and skincare (myths) alternatives. 😊👏
I'm really satisfied on how you explained each on point.👍🏻
Thanks!
Your videos are very therapeutic! I initially got into them because I am going into dermatology, but at this point, I play your videos on repeat because they're so relaxing lol
You are a highly respectable professional! Thank you!
thanks for saving me $325 king 🙏
you always provide great content. love your videos! 😊
Love your honest reactions. :) Happy New Year!
Bro you're in my "honest youtube channel" list. Your videos are funny, professional, and positive at the end of the day.
In theory, there are two things that I believe could have long term results. One is isometric mimic muscle training, which could build up some fullness without causing wrinkles. And the other method is basic soft tissue massage to “iron” out any folds that are already there.
Mimic muscles are so interesting with how one end inserts directly into the skin. But I think isometric training regime could be achieved if you make facial expressions like smiling or lifting your eyebrows while holding your face firmly with hands, and not letting an expression to happen.
I agree like face yoga where your making sure the other muscles don't move
Thank you so much Dr. Gary for educating us. People are so urger to jump into the latest thing without doing their own research. I would never spend 300+ just to get a massage. I’ll add a couple hundreds and get Botox instead. Why? Bc it works!
Thank you for educating us✨🙏🏼✨
Stay mellow! I don’t know any doctors and you’re making me feel comfortable about doctors.
The best surgeon thanks for all
I’m still kind of confused by most medspa treatments 🙃 lol. It’s hard enough trying to understand the different specialities and board certifications of most medical practitioners, let alone trying to figure out the weird names and titles that most beauty and med spas give to their treatments...and thus a ‘rejuvenating facial’ could be anything from red light therapy, PRP or some form of AHA peel.
You are not alone!
I went to esthetician school and never did understand all this stuff!
I had the face gym facial with the electronic machine and gua sha - so good, I looked so sculpted and great for a few days, which was perfect for my friends party. Good for a special event :)
I would love recommendations for “non invasive” methods for avoiding wrinkles and having healthy skin in general :’)
There isn't such a thing. The superficial and deep aging are unrelated and no matter how much you keep your skin looking good the fat pads will diminish and drop lower, the bone will be resorbed and you'll look old. That being said, for superficial signs the best bang for the buck is tretinoin + botox with some CO2 laser for deeper lines.
Love how you talk. I feel like you are beiing more active in your reviews and I just want to say that I love it but dont feel the pressure either it was just great before too!
lol love the facts your dropping when these facial people try to lie to their clients 🤷🏻♂️
Watching you look at the before and after was hilarious
It would be nice if they tried this treatment on someone who actually has wrinkles and saggy skin.
The jet-peel thing looks pretty awesome! I'd love to force my sluggish facial skin to slough and moisturize intensively for a session or two!
As you said - Seems like more of a spa than a gym.
Love how informative your videos are! Would like to know your thoughts on facial cupping please?
Will consider that topic in the future!
This was soo gratifying to watch! I almost bought in to Inge's nonsense lol, I'm glad you can see through the crap (and help us see through it too) . Thanks for making this video. I discovered your channel today, have subscribed and am totally binge-watching your vids. 😁
I love your voice. I can listen to you forever.
I am a 58 year old African American woman and am thinking of facial work ..I will definitely come to you..Dr.Linkov....,,,
Good review reaction Gary 😁 I feel like Laser skin treatment would do more for someone then this Gym facial thingy 🤣
I love Dr Gary ♥️
I LOVE DR. GARY ALWAYS BEING SO DIPLOMATIC AND TACTFUL IN HIS VIDEOS! NO offense here but In What people can believe sometimes. It's like more it's new and expensive so more must be true and work! 😁😁😁. I have been training for the last 25 years and competed as a weightlifting and things I can ear about how loosing weight, got mass, get prettier! Unbelievable Ridiculous sometimes! 🏋🏋😂😂. But I do believe it make the girl in that video feel better in her skin for one day......a very expensive endorphins day! 🙃.
I went to a Korean face spa which did something similar but without the water jet thing. The face “massage” hurt like hell. Not going back.
I often think the before pic is better than the after for facials because a lot of people's skin gets temporarily blotchy from being touched/cleansed/manipulated. Just another reason to wait before taking the "after" shot
I use a vibrating machine on my face and scalp cheap but great!
This face gym is silly- massage and pinching don't make you younger. I actually do face exercise- I'm 58, started at 55 when I went sudden rapid raging- (scary, it seemed to happen overnight!) and do literal exercises worked out by someone who has studied the muscles- it based on doing reps while holding areas of the face stil- to not wrinkle and use as a weight. Anyway- turned my down turn mouth up again, filled area under my eyes, lifted brow, lessened wrinkles, firmed jaw- slimmer neck... got rid of jowls, turkey neck...- it has taken 3 years and half an hour 5 times a week hard exercise. Truly- years off, I look good, everyone is impressed- and I had really flopped face wise. I've put back the youthful frame- still have wrinkles but- they are not offensive as they were 3 years agp and have totally got rid of wrinkles around mu mouth- plus plumped that entire area- the muscle there had shrunk a lot, it's now quite large. (it's sphincter- as you know doctor- and working on it has worked) my cheeks are higher, bigger and firmer.. I also use tretinoin- but that doesn't lift the muscles, the exercise has. It really has- the exercises I do have been absolutely tested by the person that invented this method.
. This 'gym' is bunk. I can't see how any of it works! Massage isn't 'exercise' and pinching doesn't tone muscles! But the right exercise does- by the way- it's really hard to learn- like learning ballet! They have to be done in very specific ways with hands holding very specific parts.
What is the name of the method and who is the person that invented it?
@@TheSwauzz Facearobics, invented by a lady from South Australia- Peta. It's great, you have to start from the beginning- but the difference in my face is wild! After 3 years I am looking great at 58, and I looked pretty old at 55. She's on youtube.
I love microneedling and am a firm believer in it now but still wary about radiofrequency as high heat can burn fats and cause fat loss and so gauntness for older people and make them look even older.
I bought a NEWA (radio frequency and heat) device way back in 2014 before it really became popular, and I swear it gave me the beginning of a turkey wattle under my chin. I was horrified. I stopped using it completely, and after years of tretinoin I managed to reverse most of the damage. I get very concerned when I see so many people buy a NEWA these days with radio frequency being so popular in med spas.
@@ALT-vz3jn Oh my gosh that is scary! Thankfully you stopped using it. Yeah got to be careful with every heat device. I love my microneedling and microcurrent Myolift QT but I am really finding face exercises help me see best result in lifting cos the muscles get toned, but must be consistent.
@@ALT-vz3jn what do you think about micro current
@A LT yes, it made my face worse. Gave me cheek wrinkles l
I've been seeing so much content on face yoga...intuitively I feel like you'll get MORE wrinkles from exercising your face. What do you think?
That’s what I think
@@drgarylinkov I'm showing this to my sis who does this everyday (face yoga🙄) and wonders why she looks so much older than me. (Only 2 yrs older)
I think the biggest positive to working out the face muscles is to balance out features due to uneven use of the muscles. For example, I wasn't able to chew on the right side of my mouth for years and my face was lopsided looking because of it. I have an implant and can chew on that side again. Now my face is more proportional. However, I don't see the point in exercising all face muscles.
could you talk about "Mewing" hopefully you have heard about it being a ENT Doctor.. id really like to see you react to it.
Love your videos. I love your explanations! I know it's not about looks, sorry to be shallow, but you ha e a wonderful smile and you are also very handsome. 😊
The girl is young , if she keeps up the routine and she looks like the same at 50 years old , then I would believe their treatments but it seems they did way too much . I’m 40 years old and still look the same as I did in my 20’s and not have had any Botox or facials . Exercise and facial Moisturizer works amazing 🤩 and you really don’t need to do all that lol
It’s hard to have any ‘anti-aging’ credibility when you’re in your 20s. The founder looks great, but it’s probably from Botox, filler and good hydration…
Kinda off topic but i've never heard of guasha before it went viral.... and i'm chinese. Also i really love your video, keep up the excellent works! 💖
I am chinese too. I don’t known gusha as a beauty treatment. But it is a traditional method to reduce fever. When I was young my parent will do that with a spoon on my back. It hurts a bit as it’s bruising your skin to increase circulation which allow more heat to leave via skin to cool down body temp. Will never be down to face.
@@jingtv in my family, we use a coin or plastic bottle cap to achieve the same thing. It leaves behind bruises all over the back and is said to release the build up wind inside the body and improve blood circulation.
Would you make a video about how to choose or find a good plastic surgeon/ aesthetic dermatologist/ specialist? There are so many different professionals offering different treatments/ procedures, and many states in the US do not have much regulation- especially with newer technologies constantly becoming available. Everyone want to have absolute faith and trust in the medical provider you entrust your “look” with but it’s difficult when you’re new to an area or unsure about where to get information from!
If anything, start taking care of your skin younger to help prevent signs of aging as best as you can.
Amen!
I would love to hear about the contraption with 2 silver balls that can lift the face. Like in this vid but w/o electricity. Comes with gel. Nuface is one. Works?😐
it would be nice to see the workout on someone with dehydrated skin instead of supple, good, young skin
I’d love to try all these things but my gosh at $75 to $275 that will stack really quickly.
There are cheaper ways to get slapped! haha
@@drgarylinkov Oh Yeah 👍
I showed This video to my girlfriend,
and told her i could slap her for Free 😂
Thank you so much. Could you do one about face yoga?
I really enjoy your informative videos. I'm a little off subject here but I would love to know your advice on facial exercises? Do they help or give you more wrinkles? There is facerobics where the lady looks fabulous and face yoga
As I mention in this video, I think they might cause more wrinkles. Who knows why that lady looks fabulous? Is it her yoga or is it the botox?
@@drgarylinkov She is the one on Facerobics. She also has no sagging on the face and neck it's remarkable. She says she has no plastic surgery or anything else. You could look at her videos to find out as you would know more about this than me
@@juliarobinson5435 Overall health, diet, amount of sleep and self care, and biggest factors of all: genetics and sun protection. There's sooooo many more reasons a person would look good than one thing.
Doctor Gary: “Do people leave with bruises here!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 all that slapping!!
Hi, doctor, I would like to know what you think of massages with gua sha, is it really useful?
Ok just charge $325 and throw in whatever devices we have 🤣... I think I can do face gym at home too!!! It's much cheaper! 😂. The before look is not much of a difference from the after, cos she still had the after wine glow before treatment. LOL.
I'd be intrigued to know how you feel about face yoga as I know that has more studies behind.
“I mean, the angles are different” -Doc
good video ty
I think you should record it wild you try it and then you could give a review!!
Am I the only one who found it funny how hard he was trying to find the difference to her face? He is too nice for his own good!
It works, not in one session but works
Hi Doctor could we please get a video on the Guasha and how draining the lymphs can be anti aging (allegedly) and if it actually works or not
The gym workout is done by the beautician!
Hi doc, Any new treatment for alopecia for kids that works?
It’s all about the circulation!
Hello!
Can you make a video about "face yoga"/"face workouts for double chin? Are you skeptical about them?
If there are any workouts for double/sagging chin, tell us about them.
I guess the ball is supposed to hit pressure points? Do you think pressure points don't work for sinuses specifically or that they don't work in general?
Interesting and entertaining video as always. :)
There is no proof that applying light pressure on the skin surface will improve sinus drainage.
The pressure in the sinuses changes when pressure is applied. At least in my experience!
What do you think of face yoga scientifically?
This face gym is probably like face massage? I would think it is very comfortable and relaxing but I think I would get worried when she tugs and stretches haha. But I do believe in face exercise cos just as exercising the muscles of the body tone the body, exercising the face muscles can tone the face too and I have personally experience success.
It can provide tone, and it can enhance wrinkles. Pick your poison I guess.
@@drgarylinkov Ah yes 😂possibly especially when not done right. I have personally seen my jowling become better and lower face tighter now, that's the area I focus on for face exercises. But I do still use antiwrinkle injections for other areas of my face such as eyes and forehead areas. I think for face exercises, often things have to get worse before it get better. It takes discipline and perseverance. And great for those who are still young and haven't got wrinkles yet. Many of the face yogis have very toned face, especially the Japanese ones and some are in their forties. :)
@@Dandelion_flight facial volume loss only starts after age 45; you’ll have to see how they look in their 50’s and 60’s once the facial volume loss is well underway. I bet they will go and secretly get filler.
@@ALT-vz3jn Possibly. I think I lost mine earlier than that and I already have a skinny face to start with. Filler is great if used aptly.
That facial is nonsense! I feel sorry for people that get duped by this stuff, good one for you to rebuke!
Do you do Inmode treatments
This seems gimmicky/ like a marketing ploy. I wonder if the price of 325 is comparable to the price of these treatments individually? The only way I would be the only way I would go to them is if their staff also had the specific training to use the various apparatuses and were qualified to do so (but please don’t slap my face because I bruise like a peach. I have had 6 total micro needling treatments for acne scarring and a small burn scar on my leg (scarring is completely gone and my skin texture is improved). I still do micro needling 2x per year for the anti aging benefits. Is there any specific benefit to finding a med spa that offers RF micro needling?
Need to be careful with RF, it has the potential to cause problems. Know your provider very well before going.
@@drgarylinkov thank you for the reply and for the great content. Loved your video with the medical esthetican in your office on skincare.
i can see that it is so effective .
She lost 20 years off her face 👍
Do you think that facial yoga works?
It doesnt I think cloe thing did video about it, she had no results
Maybe for general relaxation
The funny thing you could do this yourself and grab a glass and put water in it and drink .
Listen to the Doc
Please don't waste your money. Ladies & Gentlemen x
Not for me. I would have a bruised face. Maybe the ball works on pressure points.
I think that’s wishful thinking lol.
Find the 7 differences 😅 I couldn't find one.
You should check out Japanese facials. They work on one side of the face and you can see a difference between the two. I doubt it's long term though.
As the pinned comment mentions, I think it's swelling.
My anti aging method of choice is when you hit 20 start looking for a good deep plane face lift surgeon so you'll know where to go in 20 years time xD
Detox water?? Is that like "Ranch Water" that is advertised during Yellowstone? 😆 🤣
You’re like the jewish doctor my mom dreams of as a son in law! Thanks for the informative and fun video!
I don't see any meaningful difference between before and after to be honest. The coloration is exactly the same. Texture I cannot really tell from the far, but it doesn't seem to be drastically different. And lifting: As Dr. Linkov said, she has slightly different angles and expressions. In the after picture she seems more proud for having completed the program and full of positive expectation, so that mood change alone will slightly change the activity of her facial muscles. Maybe the radiofrequency and vitamins will have an effect on metabolism of the skin for a few hours after the appointment and I'm sure it is relaxing. But to me, it does not seem worth 300$$ at all. It's more of a frivolous thing for people looking for ways to spend their superfluous money. Maybe if you go every other day consistently long-term, it might have an effect after some time. I think the main function of such treatments is psychological. In absence of any hard evidence, people still pay for the suggestion that they are actively doing something against the aging process. It temporarily shifts their mindset to one of control over their fate instead of helplessness. And that provides relief from stress and anxiety around aging and appearance. There honestly was no visible difference to me. You could have swapped the before and after pic.
People are such suckers. I'm saving my money to get a face lift by Dr. Gary!😅
Stay mellow doctor, please!
Straight cringed when the “masseuse” stretched the delicate skin around her eyes in that rolling pinch motion. Ahhhhh!
The one thing that was permanently
lifted is money from one's wallet 💸💸💸
Wow I was horrified by how ruff they were on the under eye area such a delicate area on your face for them to be pulling and tugging. I’m 55 soon to be 56 and by the grace of good genes and my perseverance of good skin care regimen I have very few , slight crows feet around my eyes. I feel that treatment would completely kill my under eye area.😖
you need to watch: Golki facial
It's a shame that they slap on this layer of pseudoscientific beauty BS because I'd love to try some of these things just because it seems like they'd feel nice.
Love this type of content! BUT the picture of your OWN before/after was not in the same face expression, with make-up etc. Soooo I think you made the mistake here you judged two min after
I do it daily! Common sense says it works… also the practitioner looks AMAZING! Natural not PLASTIC!
The swelling it must cause after 😱
