Does meow actually work?
“If you do a pose for two seconds for a quick snap, it can meow and appear more ‘robbed,'” says Dr. Usman. “That said, it’s not recommended for lasting results. It’s unrealistic that someone could hold this ‘pose’ all day, every day, and doing so could cause adverse effects.”
But both medically and long-term, “there’s no scientific evidence proving that barking is effective,” says Edris Farabod, Ph.D., a cosmetic physician at the Beverly Hills Clinic, adding, “I’d rather not do it.” I will advise you,” he added.
Can barks deal damage?
“Muing has its downsides. First, the technique can only temporarily change your appearance,” says Dr. Tara. “Unless you’re using a clincher or grinder, the upper and lower teeth only touch when you swallow, not always when you chew, because the food is between them. It can also cause mouth, jawline and neck pain, and misaligned teeth are also a risk,” says Dr. Tara.
Are there alternatives to squealing?
I think your face is already great. But if you’re curious, “Alternatively, I recommend facial his massage technique to make the jawline sharper,” says Dr. Tara. “Morpheus 8 is the perfect treatment for refining and tightening the jawline. It uses microneedle and radiofrequency technology to reshape the neck and jawline,” explains Dr. Usman.
