Hello all, this is my first post and I want to share my regimen for reducing nasolabial folds / wrinkles from the face, with you all.
I am 27 years old and started to notice these "cheek lines" around 25. I thought it was from my beard or something, then I saw pictures with me with huge nasolabial folds, compared it with old photos and saw how these lines went on my face.. with age. I was a constant alcohol drinker in the past and I suspect this caused my collagen breakdown aswell.
I started researching everything about aging, collagen, facial fat, etc since then and I had a choice, either inject collagen fillers constantly that would cost me tons of money ( I live in Austria ) or try to fix it by myself. So this is how I reduced my nasolabial folds 80% in 3 months.
I look 10 years younger, and almost 0$ spent. However, it's not easy, it's painful and if you can't handle pain, just go inject fillers. Lol
What to do :
On my research I came across few studies where doctors admited that collagen injections can fix nasolabial folds/ wrinkles even without fillers in it !
do you realise what this means ? just the trauma of introducing a needle in the skin and causing damage there, can make the collagen/fat reproduce faster and also resetore the volume.
So , we have one important step here and : Trauma.
You have to do trauma to the skin somehow for the skin to resetore it's look.
I did 4 sessions (each monday night) of 30 min of slapping my cheeks per month.
The slappings were done with clean palms, clean face, I started slapping easy than increased the slapping power, just in the area of nasolabial folds, closest I could to the nose. I increased the power of the slapping at the end of the session to hardcore slapping, I guess slaps were around 500-600 ? the pain would be to the limit of how much you can handle. But the harder the slap, the harder the trauma, the better the process of resetoring the skin look.
At the end of a session my face would be totally swollen, huge, and red, but by the mornig, there was no sign/swolling/color change/etc. In the day of slapping (monday) I consumed 50% of methyl blue bottle (maybe 2 -3 teaspoons size) mixed with water and also after slapping I would put methyl blue on both nasolabial folds after putting hot water on cheeks (to open pores).
About methyl blue and skin : https://www.nature.c...598-017-02419-3 .
In this 3 months period I also took daily korean ginseng supplements,
Burdock Root supplements, ginko biloba, and cinnamon extract supplements, all known to resetore collagen production / skin etc. After 3 months my face looks totally changed, I suspect I have also fat increase / volume from the trauma done from slapping.
I`m sure one can do the same for the rest of the wrinkles of the face/ etc. but this must be studied better, if any ideas of how to augument this technique/regimen with something to improve it, make it better, please post ! Give it a try if you want, I will continue doing it to resetore face look.
Cheers
