Face Taping: Anti-Aging Miracle or Total Flop? | Funny Medicine Podcast

Is face taping really the next big anti-aging secret—or just another viral beauty gimmick? In this episode, we break down everything you’ve ever wanted to know (and probably didn’t want to know) about face taping and wrinkle patches.

From TikTok face tape trends to Hollywood facelift hacks, we explore the history, science, risks, and medical uses of this wildly popular beauty practice. Whether you’re here because you saw it on Instagram, heard your friend mention it, or you’re considering taping your own face tonight—this one’s for you.

We cover the good, the bad, and the “please don’t use Gorilla tape” side of face taping. You’ll learn about its temporary effects on wrinkles, how it’s used in facial rehabilitation for Bell’s palsy, and what actual dermatologists and medical studies have to say about it.

✅ Topics in this episode include:

• What is face taping and how is it used for wrinkles

• The true story behind Frownies and Old Hollywood tape tricks

• Face taping for Bell’s palsy and facial paralysis

• Post-surgery swelling and scar healing with kinesiology tape

• Real risks: skin irritation, acne, scarring, and more

• Why dermatologists say face tape isn’t Botox

• Myths, misinformation, and what the research actually shows

💬 Whether you’re into anti-aging skincare, kinesiology tape, TikTok beauty hacks, or just love hearing science explained with sarcasm and humor; you’re in the right place.

🎧 Listen, laugh, and learn with us as we answer: Can face taping make you look younger? Or is it just sticky nonsense?
