Many times, we talk about keeping fit and working out to keep fit and look good. However, whenever it comes to beauty, the first things that come to my mind is often skincare regime, makeup products and aesthetic enhancements. Never would I have imagined that I would be introduced to gadgets that will promote facial fitness (even with the knowledge that we all have facial muscles).
Then comes the question: Do you work your facial muscles (like how you work other body parts)?
Facial Fitness PAO
MTG Pacific Pte Ltd (MTG Singapore) originated in Japan and is committed to bringing out everyone’s maximum potential, through products that complement a healthy lifestyle, and encourage beauty, the natural way. Since its inception in 1996, MTG has been innovative in creating attractive-looking products, bridging the business domains of “Beauty” and “Wellness”. In Japan, the ReFa series (which Jason will be covering in his blog) has sold over 2.5 million units, making it extremely popular!
So what is this gadget all about? Facial Fitness PAO or PAO for short may look funny but a lot of research and work had been done to produce such a gadget to work on the (more than) 40 individual muscles that are responsible for a wide range of emotions that our face make daily. Similar to our bodily muscles, our facial muscles will weaken over time and age, causing us to have wrinkles and droopy expressions.
All you need to do is to put the mouth piece (without the casing, of course) into your mouth and hold it with your lips. After which, bob your head to swing it up and down rhythmically for 30 seconds. All you need is twice a day, or more if you want to. The colourful plates are actually weights (similar concept to progressive overload when you workout) that you can slowly progress with.
3 technologies:
1. Resonance Movement
By just nodding your head up and down, you can swing the weighted ends of the bar extending from the mouthpiece. This resonance movement, generated by the up and down motion of the head produces the a force (load) that exercises facial muscles.
2. Technical Distance The part that you hold between your lips extends 30mm from the center of the bar. Maintaining this slight distance from the exerciser serves to intensify the force applied to the facial muscles.
3. Mouth Hold The “Mouth Hold” refers to the part of the mouthpiece that you clamp between your lips. It is designed to effectively stimulate the muscles with the force delivered to the orbicularis oris muscle.
PAO and us
Jason and I started using PAO for about a month religiously, until we found out that we were using it wrongly. We were biting it with our teeth instead of holding the mouth piece with our lips. We managed to clarify with the partners and corrected the usage and started seeing visible changes and feeling the soreness physically!
After some getting used to, Jason started to increase his sessions up to a min each time. After which Jason managed to feel much more soreness and difference on double chin area. Wheareas for me, I felt a lot of soreness and more difference on the cheeks and jaw. We tried using PAO for a total of 2 months and here are our results! Apologies for the bad photoshop of the background (oops!) but no other editing/photoshop was done besides the background and removal of some pimples!
There was not drastic changes to our face shapes but if you notice, our smile lines were kind of lifted (which makes it easier to smile now)! Well, we were using PAO effectively and correctly only for a month or so then. We shall continue using it and see if there will be more visible differences from when we first started! :)
