Frownies patches. Creation

The Frownies anti-wrinkle patch is created on the principle of a regular bactericidal patch. Let's go back a little into history and look at the chain of appearance of adhesive products that fight age-related changes in facial skin.

So, Germany 1828. Scientist Paul Karl Beusdorff dipped a small piece of linen rag in rubber, pine resin and zinc oxide and dried it. I realized that the resulting creation is sticky and there is an option to apply a layer with a composition on one side of the product that will promote recovery without resorting to bandaging.

Naturally, Paul tried the first healing, self-adhesive bandage on himself when he accidentally injured his hand. Having patented the adhesive bandage, already called a plaster, the scientist sold it to Oskar Troplowitz, a Jewish scientist who had his own pharmaceutical company, Beiersdorf.

A little later, the enterprising Oscar moved to the USA, where he continued his business of improving the adhesive bandage. And then, he sold a stake in his company to a cosmetics company that dealt with a line of products for facial rejuvenation. And based on the adhesive bandage of Paul Karl Beusdorff, the Frownies wrinkle patch was invented.

Description and use of Frownies patches

The patches are flesh-colored, round in shape and of different sizes. There are huge ones, 15x5 cm, covering the entire forehead, and there are small ones - for difficult areas. For example, between the eyebrows or the bridge of the nose.

There are embossed ones - for removing wrinkles under the eyes and the crow's feet area. They look like thick paper, light brown in color. One side has an adhesive edge. They can not only remove wrinkles, but also moisturize the area being used, make the skin matte, and nourish it.

Use for best results at night.

Before use, clean the skin, wipe with tonic or lotion, and apply nourishing cream.
Let the cream absorb.
After removing the remaining cream from the face with tonic, prepare a patch. To do this, the adhesive side must be sprinkled generously with either water or the same tonic.
Wait 10-15 seconds.
The surface will become wet and very sticky.
Gently, using two fingers, smooth the skin in the area where the patch will be glued, and apply it there.
We press. Hold for 1-2 minutes. Let's go.
Blot excess moisture with a napkin or towel.
The area is fixed and, thanks to the patch, becomes immovable.
Leave it like this all night.
In the morning, we don’t try to take it off right away. You will have to soak the patch before removing it.
Spray your face generously with water and easily peel off the patch.
The area that has been fixed will retain its shape for a couple of days.
Facial expressions are not lost.
It is recommended to use the patch once every 2-3 days.

How many units do you need?

The number of wrinkles and their severity determine the number of Botox units. For some, 5 units are enough, for others, 30 are needed.

On average, up to 25 units of the drug are needed to correct eyebrow wrinkles with Botox.

No other cosmetic procedures are performed during the rehabilitation period. Your doctor may approve light face masks. Home care may also need to be adjusted. Do not hesitate to ask questions to a specialist. This is the key to the most effective transformation!

Phiten patches

Second in the ranking, after Frownies patches, are patches from Phiten. A little about them.

A company with a cosmetic focus was formed in 1983, that is, it is quite young, but the nanotechnology of scientists from Japan is amazing; they managed to create patches with titanium and gold oxide. The cost of patches is high, but they are worth it. Titanium oxide can slightly whiten areas of the skin, such as dark circles under the eyes. And gold can add shine and eliminate many problems, for example, microcracks in the skin.

Plasters from Phiten are round, sold in 70-140 pieces. You can use them in the same way as Frownies 2-3 times a week. The result of use is good. Wrinkles are smoothed out and freshness appears. Also, the development of some elements in the composition of the product allows you to relieve puffiness and moisturize the skin. Can be used on the face and on the skin around the eyes.

The company's products are actively used by the famous Japanese actress and fashion model Ebihara Yuri, who, at 39 years old, looks 23 years old. And the new product from Phiten, energy patches with a titanium ball, is simply a miracle!

They can be used not only in the fight against wrinkles, but also against fatigue. You just need to stick it on energy points. Also, if you overworked or pulled a muscle, a titanium ball will save you. Pain relief is immediate. The analgesic effect lasts for two days. But, let us remind ourselves again that any, even the most proven remedy, can cause an allergic skin reaction in the form of rashes or itching.

Before use, first test it on the inside of the elbow. If after several hours of wearing the tape, the skin does not turn red, you can safely apply it to the skin of the face. And we make sure to comply with the conditions for removing it from the face. We irrigate generously with water and only after getting wet remove the patch. Unfortunately, Phiten brand patches cannot be purchased in retail, be it a cosmetics store or pharmacy. But it can be ordered on many websites and directly from the supplier.

Can a regular patch be used to combat wrinkles?

Is it possible to replace a cosmetic anti-wrinkle patch with a regular one? Many options will immediately flash through your head, both in favor of a regular patch and against it. Arguments in favor of a conventional bactericidal:

Fixes firmly.
It contains a composition that relieves inflammation.
He is a medical doctor and nothing bad will come from him.
I'm pleased with the price.

These arguments suggest that you can try using a regular patch. What's against using medical?

What is facial taping?

The concept of “taping” came to cosmetology from sports medicine. Kinesiotherapy is responsible for the restoration of muscles, joints and ligaments of athletes by applying elastic patches to damaged areas.

Relatively recently, the use of adhesive-based elastic bandages has found its place in the cosmetology industry. The essence of applying tape is that a glued and slightly stretched patch lifts the skin above the muscles.

This ensures the following results:

The muscles relax because they do not need to perform the function of supporting tissue.
Under the raised skin, the space increases, in which blood and lymphatic fluid begin to circulate freely.
Wrinkles fixed with adhesive tape gradually straighten out, as a result of the impossibility of creases forming.
The facial contour is smoothed out, thanks to the formation of new muscle memory.

It is not directed, and therefore does not help

Let's look into the situation. The fixing properties of the bactericidal patch are really pronounced. Therefore, it does not need to be glued to the area around the eyes. But for deep wrinkles - please! Do not leave it on the skin all night, but not more than 10 hours, as an allergic reaction may develop. It often occurs in people after surgical interventions, when such patches are kept on the skin for more than a day.

Judging by the reviews, it works no worse than its directional counterparts. The content of impregnation such as chlorhexidine, brilliant green or furatsilin negatively affects many parasitic microorganisms, thereby healing the skin where there are abrasions or microcracks. That's a plus.

And of course, the price of the issue is very positive for the potential buyer. After all, in comparison with a cosmetic patch, a regular one is 10-15 times cheaper. The question arises, why overpay?

So, we bought a regular patch at the pharmacy. What's next?

Having previously prepared the skin and applied a nourishing cream, we prepare the patch for work: we cut it into small squares, this is for the area of the nasolabial folds.
For wrinkles on the forehead, you can use it entirely.
Carefully remove the gauze layer.
Dry your face with a towel, removing any remaining cream, and holding the skin taut, apply a patch.
Leave for 8-10 hours.
We remove it, as in the first two cases, generously sprinkling the face with water.

Such manipulations can be carried out at least every day, if there is no allergic reaction. Don't forget about the allergy test.

Bottom line

You can use any patches, because judging by the reviews on the Internet, they are all effective. The effect of the first two cosmetic patches will appear much faster due to the composition of the impregnation. And of course, an ordinary patch will never replace the magic of titanium balls and gold. But not every woman can afford these, and they can’t be bought everywhere. And the usual bactericidal one is available in every pharmacy, even in the most remote village, and attracts with its cheapness. It also kills bacteria and germs. The controversy over the use of patches will never die down. But there is no need to argue, you need to try it from your own experience! There is no need to be afraid of innovation and stay away from the latest products in the beauty industry. Be beautiful!
