The foundational idea behind these patches is both straightforward and biomechanically intuitive. They operate on the principle of physical restraint. Many facial lines, particularly on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, are initially formed by repetitive muscle movements—frowning, squinting, and smiling. By applying a specially shaped, adhesive patch over these areas during sleep, the underlying muscles are gently restricted from making full, crease-forming contractions. Over time, this practice aims to encourage the facial muscles to “unlearn” the habit of tightening into pronounced expressions, thereby allowing the skin above to remain in a smoother, flattened state. It’s a method focused on prevention and training, rather than correction after deep lines have set.
