ABSTRACT:
A facial mask for use in effecting isometric toning of facial muscles comprises a plurality of shaped pressure applicators located to overlie the termination points of selected facial muscles, and an expansible chamber located such that when the chamber is expanded, it causes the pressure applicators to apply pressure to the termination points of the selected facial muscles. The facial mask may further include a mouthpiece to be received in the user's mouth and to be bitingly engaged by the user's teeth for anchoring the user's mastication muscles and for tensioning the user's facial muscles around the lips during use of the device. The pressure applicators may also include surface electrodes for sensing EMG (electromyogram) signals produced by the muscles to provide an indication of whether the proper muscles are being exercised.
