In general, facial fitness is quite safe, but there are some contraindications or situations that require caution. Here are the main ones:
- Recent facial surgeries (less than 3 to 6 months ago).
- Recent fillers or Botox (wait at least 2 to 4 weeks or follow your doctor's guidance).
- Skin infections or inflammation (severe acne, herpes, active rosacea, etc.).
- Joint or muscle problems in the jaw (such as bruxism or poorly controlled TMJ).
- Ocular hypertension or retinal detachment: consult before doing exercises around the eyes.
- Neuromuscular diseases: should be evaluated by a doctor before starting.
✅ Recommendation: If you have any medical condition or recent cosmetic treatment, consult your doctor before starting any physical activity.
