Facelift? Really?

I am Karin Singleton, and I am a MELT instructor; but I am also a skeptic.

 

I have taught MELT long enough to know that MELT can bring on physical changes in people. I can see it every time when I look over my room of regular students and do not observe those gross deviations that just jumped out at me when I first started teaching. I also hear from people all the time how much regular MELT has become part of their lives and has helped with nagging problems. 

 

But when I heard about an announcement about a 50 second facelift …. It was a “wait and see” for me.

 

I watched the show and tried it myself. Truth be told, I felt more of a difference than I saw one but there was a little more fullness around the cheeks.  I decided to teach it in a class today, and it received a warm reception and a confirmation of my own experience. 

 

Here is a link to more information and the two videos, the 50 second and the 5 minute facelifthttp://www.meltmethod.com/blog/more-about-50-second-face-0. You may need to copy and paste into your browser.

 

The underlying principle makes perfect sense. Gliding and shearing of connective tissue improves the cellular structure by rehydrating it. The locations of the mastoid process (that little bump behind the ear), the temporomandibular joint (after which the painful condition TMS is named) and the temples are locations often associated with stress. How often do we not rub them when we have a headache?

 

I think that this new MELT technique will serve two purposes: it does improve the appearance of the face, but - more importantly – it will help relieve stress in those facial muscles.

 

And that will be twice the reason for a happy smile.
