Is your face actually sculpted by facial compression bands?

Everything that offers that desired, chiselled look is something we love to try, from facial yoga to gua sha massage and face cupping. Kim Kardashian introduced a seamless sculpt face wrap under her SKIMS brand since she understands how enamored everyone is with sculpted faces.It should come as no surprise that facial compression bands, which promise tighter skin and a sharper jawline, are currently the hottest fad. It's good to consider whether they actually produce effects and, more crucially, whether they are safe to use before hurriedly adding one to your cart. Let's ask the professionals.Elastic wraps applied over the chin and jawline are known as facial compression bands, face-slimming bands, or V-line lifting bands.

According to India Today, Dr. Ruben Bhasin Passi, dermatology consultant at CK Birla Hospital in Gurugram, says the goal is to temporarily tighten the skin, support lymphatic drainage, and lessen puffiness by applying continuous pressure. "Some versions claim to train the skin and underlying muscles into a slimmer contour," she continues.If you've been wondering why everyone in your feed is using compression bands to attain that V-shaped, sculpted jawline, it's because they promise to be a quick, non-invasive method that doesn't require fillers or surgery.Dr. Passi claims that the craze for lifted features and sharp jawlines on social media is what's driving the trend. Why is it so attractive? It is simple to apply at home, reasonably priced when compared to cosmetic procedures, and seamlessly integrates into the enduringly popular K-beauty regimens. Furthermore, compression bands are frequently promoted as a quick fix to tighten skin, define the jawline, and minimize puffiness, according to Dr. Shireen Furtado, senior consultant, medical and cosmetic dermatology, Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru. "The idea of getting quick results at home makes them attractive, especially for those who do not want cosmetic procedures," she informs us.
