What Is FaceGym?
FaceGym
I was curious about how this genius idea came to be.
“Prior to FaceGym, I traveled the world trialing beauty treatments,” says Theron.
With that, she created FaceGym.
“FaceGym is unlike any facial on the market.
“Stronger muscles mean tighter, firmer skin and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.”
I say yes to all of the above, so I was 100 percent down for this sweat sesh.
What to Expect at FaceGym
I was fortunate to preview FaceGym before its services hit the U.S.
I walked into the dimly lit room reminiscent of an empty warehouse, and music was blasting.
Not the classical music you’re used to in a facial spa thoughfunmusic.
I sat down, and the FaceGym specialist started going to work on my face.
First up, the warmup.
My trainer used her fingers and knuckles to apply pressure to my face to wake up my face muscles.
By the time she was done, all the muscles in my face felt alert and stretched out.
Afterward, my tight and stressed muscles felt loose.
It was a legitimate detox session that was a little more intense than usual.
I wouldn’t say my skin actually sweat, but it definitely wasn’t relaxing or calming.
It was truly like a workout.
Next was cardio (aka muscle manipulation).
Sidebar: My skin was the most shook during this part of the session.
It was not painful.
It was rather stimulating, actually, and felt like a muscle magnet with slightly more intensity.
Afterward, every part of my face felt lifted.
Afterward, the trainer applied a few oil-based FaceGym serums andmoisturizersfollowed by the electrical muscle stimulation gear.
The noise of the machine was scarier than it felt, which was like gentle electrical shocks.
To be honest, this was the most intense part of the workout.
Finally, it was cool-down time.
The entire process took about 45 minutes.
It was a nonsurgical facelift and contoursans needles and makeup.
I was obsessed and could not stop taking selfies.
I didn’t wear makeup for a whole week because I didn’t need to.
My skin felt firm, strong, and snatched.
My face felt similar to how toned your body feels after a great workout.
“There is theoretical risk of increased wrinkling as increased muscle movement can cause wrinkling.
There is not great scientific evidence backing facial workouts.”
And of course, if you have severely sensitive skin, you’ll want to let your trainer know.
Other than that, there’s no known side effects to face workouts.
“FaceGym workouts stimulate muscle contraction to improve skin tone and facilitate lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and puffiness.
The results are immediate but temporary,” explains Dr. Camp.
The results are not immediate, but are more durable.”
FaceGym sessions are also typically less costly than a single in-office treatment.
Depending on the booking pop in, a session can last between 45 and 85 minutes.

The Final Takeaway
Basically, I’m addicted to the instant effect it had on my face.
I know, I know, I sound like a stereotypical millennial who craves immediate gratification.
But, I’m fine with that because this answered so many of my skin’s prayers.
