Scientifically controlled adaptation
The FaceFormer is made from a flexible silicone elastomer. There are no known allergic reactions to this high-quality material, which is approved for medical applications. The shape and material of the FaceFormer are precisely adjusted to the forces acting on it. They are the result of scientifically controlled adaptations to a large number of patients.
Neurophysiological and cause-oriented
FaceFormer therapy is based on a cause-oriented, functional training program. Such treatment methods have proven themselves in medicine over decades in the optimization of support and movement functions, as well as against pain and for the conversion of incorrect movements and malfunctions. FaceFormer therapy is now used successfully by therapists and doctors worldwide in the treatment of numerous symptoms.
Long-term healthy condition as the goal
Causal therapies, such as FaceFormer therapy, cannot usually produce success “overnight”. The aim of such treatments is rather to achieve a stable, healthy condition in the long term and to be able to dispense with the constant use of medication or aids.
Cause orientation instead of crutch therapy
FaceFormer therapy focuses on the causes and thus differs significantly from assistive devices, which can only have an effect at the moment of immediate use and therefore only influence the symptom. We refer to this approach as “crutch therapy”. “If the crutch is not used, the patient falls over!” The goal of eventually managing without the device cannot be achieved. “The dependency on the crutch remains until the grave.” The lifelong fitting must also be constantly monitored, improved and reinforced. The resulting costs are immeasurable.
Surgical interventions in the mouth, nose and throat also often lack sufficient causal orientation. Corrections using a scalpel, laser or radio waves therefore often achieve only temporary, minor or no success at all. The famous “surgical risk” can also never be ruled out.
Bring about lasting improvement
Causal FaceFormer therapy can usually bring about positive changes after just a few days or weeks. However, further optimization and, above all, stability can only be achieved if FaceFormer therapy is applied according to the instructions over a longer period of time. The therapy is only complete when physiological movement patterns, postures and muscle tensions have been established. In order to automate and habitualize correct movement patterns and muscle chain functions, which is essential for lasting therapeutic success, FaceFormer therapy should be carried out regularly over a period of 6 months. This also applies if the desired success is achieved after a short time.
As the therapy is easy to carry out and requires little time (approx. 7 minutes 3 times a day), this is usually possible without any problems. The prospect of achieving an unencumbered state after a limited time without therapy and aids is an inspiring motivation to persevere with FaceFormer therapy.
