May 14, 1999 -- Baltimore, MD -- Thanks to the creation of a new and totally non-invasive method of wrinkle reduction, men and women who want to reduce the signs of aging no longer have to resort to expensive, invasive techniques like laser surgery, facial peels or surgical facelifts.
Susan Rosenblatt-Schehr, a local physical therapist with nearly twenty years of experience, has created and refined Refacée (ruh-FAH-say), a revolutionary wrinkle reduction technique that involves re-balancing facial muscles through a gentle process of muscle manipulations.
"Some wrinkles and furrows emerge when the facial muscles become unbalanced," explains Ms. Rosenblatt-Schehr. "This unbalancing is caused by everyday living, including, for example, squinting at the sun or computer screens, facial distortions during dental work, or clenching the jaws because of stress. My new technique essentially repositions the muscles of the face closer to their original, more youthful structure."
Ms. Rosenblatt-Schehr, whose practice is located in Baltimore County, concentrates on the face during her 15-minute therapeutic sessions, realigning the muscles and reestablishing their length. The benefits last, she conclude$, because the muscles have been reset closer to their correct length and thickness, sending a message to the brain. This "Information" is retained by the brain even after the treatments have ceased.
A total of 10-20 sessions is recommended for best results. However, in some cases, more sessions may be necessary and maintenance sessions are recommended two-four times per year, depending upon individual needs. Refacée treats the muscles in the face, not the skin. The process is not cosmetic, therefore this technique does not help skin that has incurred substantial damage from the sun.
Her physical therapy practice concentrates on manual, rather than mechanical techniques, and has allowed Ms. Rosenblat-Schehr to gain a comprehensive understanding of the human musculoskeletal system. In addition, she has conducted controlled studies that have produced positive results for a wide variety of subjects. In this way, Ms. Rose nbl att-Schehr refined the Refacée technique.
The 14 subjects in the controlled studies were between the ages of 50 and 70. They each received 2 or 3 treatments per week for a month. All indicated that they look better and would recommend the treatment to family and friends, One 70-year old woman said the treatments smoothed out lines around her mouth that had been distinct for over twenty years. Participants also described the process as "relaxing."
Results of the treatment may vary depending upon the individual circumstances of the participant. For more information on Refacée, visit the web site at www.refacee.com. |
