Briefly describe the Patakara method

With Patakara, we train the facial muscles eccentrically, toning them through gentle resistance while maximizing muscular response and restoring the neuromuscular connection at the same time. We do not know of any other method as effective as Patakara, capable of acting in such a short time and restoring the different facial tissues so quickly.

What are the main goals of using Patakara?

• Restoration of normal facial muscle tone.
• Improvement of macro- and microcirculation in the face and neck.
• Restoration of lymphatic flow.
• Recovery of proper tongue posture and nasal breathing.
• Improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the face.
• Correction of posture and movement patterns through additional techniques.

Together with certain complementary exercises (if necessary), the following effects can also be achieved:

• Improved lymphatic drainage in the clavicular lymph nodes.
• Improved blood circulation in the thyroid gland.
• Improved cerebral blood circulation.

What material are Patakara and Fit-Pull made of?

Both Patakara and the Fit-Pull elastic band are made of a high-quality, hypoallergenic and biocompatible polyester elastomer used in the medical and cosmetic fields. They can even be used in certain skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis.

Why do we need the Fit-Pull elastic band?

To increase the effectiveness of training with Patakara. As described in our instructions, the supporting hand must apply a certain amount of pressure to the face or neck, depending on the posture. Fit-Pull prevents the supporting hand from sliding over the skin and helps stabilize specific muscle areas during the exercises.

I have a small mouth. How can I know whether I need a Patakara for Children?

With your mouth open naturally, without forcing it, measure the vertical distance between the lower edge of the upper lip and the upper edge of the lower lip, as well as the horizontal distance between the corners of the mouth. If both measurements are at least 4 cm, you should use Patakara Premium (for adults). The use of a Patakara for Children by adults is extremely rare and usually occurs only in people from Southeast Asia.

Does Patakara help with TMJ dysfunction and the asymmetries associated with it?

Yes, very significantly. In most cases, when the origin is not related to structural bone issues, facial asymmetries are caused by imbalances in muscle tone. Patakara is highly effective in helping restore proper muscular balance.

Our body has many mechanisms of self-regulation and self-recovery — we simply need to help support them. With the Patakara facial trainer, we work simultaneously on the muscular, circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems. This offers hope for improved health, better quality of life and preservation of facial youthfulness for people affected by facial muscle and nerve problems, as well as TMJ dysfunction.

How long does it take to achieve the full effect?

It depends on your starting point, age and lifestyle. If you practice according to the instructions (4–5 times a day), maintain a healthy lifestyle and engage in physical activities such as biodynamics, Pilates or dynamic yoga, you will generally need at least 6 months to achieve good results. In older individuals, the process may take up to 1 year.

Based on our personal experience and that of our clients, results may continue to improve for 2 to 4 years. After that, progress usually slows down, and it may become necessary to complement the training with additional techniques if certain areas still require further work.

Which facial area improves most quickly with Patakara?

The area in which muscle tone has been least affected and where fibrosis is less pronounced.

Each face is unique, and every body has its own imbalances. Posture also has a major influence on the condition of the neck and, consequently, the face. The lower part of the face is usually the most difficult area to restore when significant structural changes are present. This area is also frequently associated with the formation of nasolabial folds and tension around the mouth and chin.

Can Patakara be used during orthodontic treatment?

Yes. Not only can it be used, but Patakara can also be an excellent complement to orthodontic treatment. Tooth movement may become faster and more comfortable, while the muscles may remain more relaxed during the reorganization of the bite.

You simply need to pull your Patakara slightly outward so that it does not come into excessive contact with the brackets, for example. It is also important to make sure that the surface of the trainer does not become damaged or scratched.

In addition to Patakara and certain massages, what else is recommended for treating bruxism?

1. Stress reduction.
2. Control of facial tension and expressions.
3. Proper oral and bite care.
4. Neck exercises.
5. Good postural habits.

Does the absence of molars influence the formation of nasolabial folds?

Of course — it is one of the possible causes. Instead of injecting fillers into this area, it is often preferable to restore missing teeth (with implants, for example) and combine this with regular Patakara training.

Can I use Patakara if I have recently undergone biorevitalization treatment?

Can I use Patakara if I have had Botox injections?

Yes, you can. However, the effects of Botox may wear off more quickly due to the activation of the facial muscles and the improvement in lymphatic and blood circulation promoted by Patakara.

Can Patakara and the Fit-Pull elastic band be affected by exposure to sub-zero temperatures during winter?

The material used to manufacture both Patakara and the Fit-Pull elastic band is resistant to cold temperatures. Therefore, neither product requires any special protection in winter environments.
