🌱 Why does platysma keep you young?

Darlings, today is another important topic for those who want to improve their facial oval and remove the second chin.

The platysma is the widest of the facial muscles. It is so large in area that it starts in the chest area and runs up the entire anterolateral part of the neck, except for a small triangle in the lower frontal area. It is associated with facial wrinkles, laxity of the neck and décolleté, ‘Venus rings’ and ‘turkey’ folds.

The platysma connects to the masseter muscles and to the muscles that lower the corners of the mouth. It is attached to the lower jaw and fits over the fascia in the ear area. Platysma ‘holds’ the beauty and youthfulness of the lower face, neck, and décolletage. And with all this, it is very vulnerable, as it is quite thin and is located directly under the skin. Plus it is not connected to the bones and loses elasticity faster.

😳 Can you imagine the magnitude of tragedy if the platysma is ‘out of shape’?
⠀
If the platysma and fascia of the neck are compressed and toned, it leads to skin laxity, which causes the skin to sag. The tension of the platysma and superficial fascia of the neck results in the formation of pulls, early wrinkles, folds and ring wrinkles on the neck, cheeks ‘creep’ downwards, the corners of the lips droop, even the breasts droop.
⠀
We do NOT recommend platysma pumping exercises, this can make things worse, especially if there are already age-related changes and a tendency to oedema.

First of all, it is necessary to work with the spine and neck, relieve tension, lengthen the neck to relax the superficial fascia of the neck, platysma, so that the folds in the neck are gone, the chin is lifted, and the oval of the face is clearer.
