1. Acute infections or inflammations, including facial or trigeminal nerve issues, fever, or high blood pressure.
2. Severe systemic illnesses, like diabetes, autoimmune diseases, vascular or connective tissue disorders, and issues with the lymphatic system.
3. Flare-ups of chronic conditions affecting the respiratory, digestive, urinary, or other systems (if in remission, exercising is not just allowed but recommended).
4. Cancer diagnoses.
5. Neurological or psychiatric disorders.
6. After injury or plastic surgery, wait until you’re fully recovered and consult your doctor before starting.
7. For serious thyroid issues (like cysts or tumors), avoid neck exercises. If your hormone levels are stable and the condition is under control, you can proceed with caution.
Whenever in doubt, consult your doctor and always listen to how your body feels. It’s essential to use common sense and be mindful of your health. Face exercises are safe—as long as you take care of yourself properly.
