They’re like a super strong tape you put on your forehead and 11 lines. The idea is they stop you moving your forehead I think lol kinda like Botox but cheaper ! I
Anyone used them ?

Presumably they are just the same as silicone wound tape. I did try that as it's supposed to act like botox but got fed up. You have to leave it on for hours or overnight and it only starts working after weeks of persevering apparently (I didn't perservere).

No, they are quite expensive and the reviews were really mixed with lots of people saying they keep falling off. I got some face tape recommended by a mumsnetter instead. Got two rolls for £6. Been using it about two years now. I already had ‘static’ 11 lines but it’s softened them and meant they have not got worse and it’s stopped me developing lines elsewhere on my forehead. ( I use it over all of my forehead). I put a piece over my 11 lines, then a horizontal strip above it, then a vertical strip over both of these.

I’m surprised how well it’s worked.

I have been toying with the idea of a bulldog clip at the nape of my neck rather than a neck lift 😂

Can you let me know the name of the recommended tape please?

I would also be interested to know the tape you use @Rainonwednesday

I don't have forehead lines in my 60s but my neck is pretty awful. I tried a gaffa tape style necklift once with silicone sticky neckline bands from Amazon. They didn't work slid right off. I'm going for a deep plane facelift and necklift in Lithuania next year. Nords clinic. Botox was OK for a while but I need a proper job done now.

I tried them, they were absolutely shite. Didn’t stick. Same for Wrinkles Schminkles

I use them, I just have the one frown line, so I use only one each night. It doesn't move at all whilst I'm sleeping (I sleep like a corpse). Definitely improved my frown line, that I have had since I was 25 (45 now)
