FACE Method®

Your face can be trained.

Targeted muscle-building training for face and neck, individually tailored to your facial structure, your starting point and the result you want to achieve.

In brief

You are not simply at the mercy of the changes in your face.

The FACE Method® is targeted muscle-building training for the deep mimic muscles of the face and neck. Selected muscle areas are built up precisely and with increasing intensity. This creates fullness, shape and visibly firmer contours with your own muscle strength, without injections or surgery.

I am 60 years old and have been training my own face for almost three decades. My face shows what consistent muscle building makes possible in the long run. But you do not need to have started 30 years ago.

As with strength training for the body, muscle can still be built up significantly even if you start later. Women who begin consistent strength training at 55 or 60 can have visibly more muscle and a noticeably firmer body shape years later. The FACE Method® uses the same basic principle for the face and neck: even a later start can lead to visible muscle growth, fuller facial areas and more firmly defined contours.

What matters is not whether you started earlier. What matters is that you start today, in a targeted way.

In my work with more than 1,000 women, I have continuously developed and refined the FACE Method®.

The mechanism

Bodybuilding for the face.

Skincare works on the surface. No cream in the world can stop the aging process. High-quality skincare that is matched to your individual skin and well tolerated can protect the skin barrier, preserve moisture and keep the skin supple. But it cannot build muscle or lost bony support structure.

The face does not age at the skin alone. The facial skeleton changes too: areas of the eye sockets, the midface and the lower jaw lose bony substance and support over the years. When this foundation changes and the muscles decline at the same time, the face loses fullness, support and clearly defined contours.

The body follows a fundamental principle: what is persistently underloaded loses substance. What is loaded in a targeted way can adapt and build up.

The FACE Method® therefore works on the structure you can actively train yourself: the deep mimic muscles. Selected muscle areas are built up precisely and with increasing intensity.

This creates visibly more muscle volume, fuller facial areas and more firmly defined contours, exercise by exercise and individually tailored to your face.

Why it happens

Aging does not begin at the skin.

The face changes from the inside out. Over the years, the entire facial skeleton undergoes remodeling and resorption processes. The bone structure loses volume, projection and support, across the entire bony foundation, though not everywhere to the same extent.

At the same time, muscles decline when they are not specifically challenged. The overlying soft tissue changes as well. As a result, the cheeks and midface lose fullness, the eye area changes, and the jawline and chin lose definition. The face increasingly loses shape, tension and youthful contour.

Injectables, implants and surgical lifts can change one's appearance considerably. However, they intervene in delicate vessels, nerves and tissue, and in some cases bony structures, and they carry considerable risks. They cannot stop the progressing aging process of bone, muscles and tissue.

The FACE Method® therefore works on the structure you can actively train yourself: the deep mimic muscles. Targeted muscle building creates more fullness and shape as well as firm, defined contours.

The developer

Christine Scheib, the woman who shapes faces.

«No two faces are alike. That is why no two get the same training plan.»

In the mid-1990s I began training my own face in a targeted way and studying methods for building the facial muscles in depth.

Strength training has been part of my life since I was 18. So I knew from my own experience how muscles respond to targeted load, build up and change the shape of the body. I consistently transferred this basic idea to the face and neck.

From this work the FACE Method® emerged: a precise muscle-building training tailored to facial structure, musculature and the desired result. I have personally guided more than 1,000 women. The experience from this work continues to shape the further development of the method to this day.

The FACE Method® is a training programme, not medical treatment. The results shown are individual cases and not a promise of any particular outcome. Every journey is different.

What happens next

Your first step: a personal conversation.

With me or a FACE trainer near you whom I have trained: by phone, WhatsApp or video call. Then you decide in your own time.

FAQ

What you want to know.

What does the FACE Method® cost?

The basic program costs CHF 1,500 and includes the personal facial analysis and four individually selected FACE exercises. Each additional exercise costs CHF 350. Payment in installments is possible by arrangement. To the packages

Who is the FACE Method® for?

The FACE Method® is aimed at women from about 35 who want to specifically counter the age-related changes in their face and build, shape and stabilize their face. What it takes is the willingness to train the individually selected exercises regularly and precisely.

Where does the training take place?

The personal guidance takes place at my studio in Bettlach or online via Zoom. You learn the exercises directly with me and then train them at home.

How quickly will I see changes?

Targeted training changes the muscle areas being trained. The change can be felt and becomes visible. Always. For some, the first changes appear very early; for others, the build-up takes a little more time.
