FACEFORMER therapy is effective against snoring and sleep apnea
StudiesIn a controlled study (pilot study), the success of FACEFORMER Therapy in patients with snoring and sleep apnea will be evaluated. For a three-month phase, a daily therapy of 4 exercise units is required. One exercise unit comprises 20 repetitions of the basic exercise and 20 repetitions of at least one pull exercise. After approx. 3 weeks, when improved nasal breathing can be felt as a result of training, the FACEFORMER is also applied at night. The goal is to get used to nasal breathing.
