Women are ready to give a lot to keep their beauty and attractiveness. Sometimes they have to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon and spend a lot of money on expensive cosmetic procedures. However, it is not always after the efforts that have been made that a woman is satisfied with the result obtained, especially when it comes to expression lines. They can appear even at a very young age, if the girl is too emotional and often grimaces. Previously, many women saw the only way out of hated facial wrinkles - a Botox injection, which, however, could cause an unexpected result. But recently a completely new product has appeared on the Russian market, which allows to reduce age-related changes on the face - a patch for wrinkles. This tool caused a lot of questions from consumers, so we decided to devote this article to it.
Mimic wrinkles: causes of formation
Before figuring out the effectiveness of the patch for wrinkles, you need to understand how these depressing women folds appear on the face. Expression wrinkles are caused by muscle contraction, which is attached to the skull and face skin. Each person has the same amount of these muscles, with the help of which he expresses his emotions. However, some people are more emotional and constantly strain and relax facial muscles. But for others it is difficult to read anything by facial expressions - they are extremely stingy in expressing emotions. Therefore, in some people, wrinkles are formed early and very quickly become deep, and rare lucky ones can boast almost smooth skin on their faces until they are old.

Focusing on this characteristic and the cost per package, you can get some idea about the product itself. The forehead wrinkle patch on the Russian market has several varieties, it is mainly classified by manufacturer:
- Flownies.
- Phiten.
- ordinary Russian patch.
We will tell you about each variety in detail.
Flownies Adhesives: Creation
Like many other ingenious inventions, the Flownies patch appeared completely by accident. It was invented by a woman - Margaret Crossen - about a century ago. The fact is that Margaret did not like that her daughter, professionally engaged in playing the piano, constantly frowned, trying to focus on the performance of the compositions. She began to think about how to rid the girl of premature wrinkles that could ruin her pretty face. At some point, it occurred to her to attach an adhesive tape to her forehead to allow her muscles to relax. And the patch was born from wrinkles on the forehead.
Reviews about this tool instantly scattered across Hollywood and brought Margaret not only fame, but also decent money. Over time, she became the owner of a large company that still produces this product.
Description and application of Flownies
Flownies forehead wrinkle patch is in great demand on the market. Most often, it is with him that women begin to get acquainted with this tool. Therefore, we also decided to describe it.
A patch made of kraft paper is sold in a package of several pieces located on one long tape. Before use, it is necessary to separate the desired number of pieces. In order for the effect to be more significant, the face skin is cleaned with any cosmetic product and an ordinary moisturizer is applied on it with a thin layer. Beauticians advise a light facial massage to improve blood circulation and help absorb the cream more quickly.
After all the manipulations done, slightly moisten the patch with water and stick it on the straightened skin. For better fixation, press the glued piece with a cotton swab or fingers.
Effect and reviews of the patch Flownies
The manufacturer recommends using the patch for at least three hours, it is better to leave it overnight. In the presence of deep facial wrinkles, you can stick several pieces of the product on nearby areas of the facial skin. The patch must be used in the course every day for a month. For prevention, it will be enough two to three times a week.
What effect can be expected from this unusual remedy? Women who use it claim that it completely eliminates the appearance of facial wrinkles in one course. They become less noticeable, and then completely disappear. However, you are unlikely to be able to completely get rid of deep folds, although they also become less pronounced. This effect is especially noticeable the next morning after removing the patch. Many ladies claim that, looking in the mirror, they felt that they were ten years younger. And it was precisely this result that they wanted to achieve.
Keep in mind that Flownies patches can be purchased at pharmacies in your city or through special sites. The average cost of packaging ranges from one thousand two hundred rubles.
Phiten Adhesives
This product has a very wide range and is produced by a famous Japanese cosmetology company. Let's take, for example, a patch from Phiten eyebrow wrinkles.
It is interesting that this product is impregnated with a special composition - aquametal. The latter is a combination of water and metal molecules (silver, gold, titanium and the like). Thanks to this, the product has not only a mechanical, but also a cosmetic effect.
The package contains ordinary pieces and a patch for wrinkles between the eyebrows with a metal ball in the middle. It has an even greater therapeutic effect, which is confirmed by the reviews of women who used this tool.
The cost per package, which is seventy pieces of different sizes, ranges from one and a half thousand rubles.
Plain patch
If you do not have enough finances to buy such a remedy for wrinkles, then use the usual pharmacy plaster. It also proved to be a very effective and inexpensive tool that our grandmothers used.
However, it is worth observing the rules for using the patch, only in this case you will get the desired result:
- Before applying the product, the skin must be lubricated with cream or anti-wrinkle serum, the addition of fresh aloe leaf juice is ideal;
- after a light massage with your fingertips, you can gently straighten the wrinkle and fix it with a patch of plaster;
- do not leave the pad for more than eight hours (the skin under it does not breathe);
- remove the patch very carefully, pre-moistened with water;
- many women have an adhesive layer on their skin, usually after a few hours.
Do not forget that a regular patch is not recommended to be used more than once a month. Otherwise, you may experience irritation and an allergic reaction caused by a lack of oxygen.
Reviews on the effectiveness of the patch
Which remedy is now the most common in the fight against wrinkles? Most women admit that this is a surgical lift and Botox.
