As the old adage goes, beauty is pain. But come on. There’s a limit. And for most people, we hope, stretching your face with a bizarre contraption is past that limit.
Why not just get a facelift instead?
Don’t Stretch Your Face
The new “bungee facelift,” designed by a woman desperate to look her best before her son’s wedding without ponying up for an actual procedure, looks more like a modern torture device than skincare. It’s a piece of elastic band attached to two small combs that, when fastened to braids on your head, serve as a way to stretch your face back. But why get a facelift when you can stretch your skin like a snare drum? *Cue eyeroll.*
Just Get a Regular Facelift, Already
A facelift can make an actual difference in the way your face looks. A glorified scrunchie? No way.
There’s no need to subject your skin to this kind of abuse when you could just get a facelift. Seriously, a qualified plastic surgeon will be able to change the appearance of your skin far more than any dollar store contraption will.
A proper facelift can help you combat some of the visible signs of aging, like sagging skin and deep folds. It can also target areas like the neck and eyelids. Can a rubber band do that? Not likely.
To wrap up: a facelift can totally help you look younger, feel better and you don’t have to suck all of your facial features into a tight bun to do it. So can we please skip the gimmicks already?
