In general, facial muscle laxity can be improved through exercises such as cheek puffing and facial massage, or via medical aesthetic treatments including hyaluronic acid injections, Thermage, fractional laser, thread lifting, and facelift surgery. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and proceed under the guidance of a qualified physician.

The cheek puffing method typically involves inflating the cheeks as if blowing up a balloon, repeatedly puffing and inhaling air, for 15–20 repetitions. The facial massage technique involves gently pressing on the face with fingers, repeated 6–10 times daily. This helps promote local blood circulation, tighten facial muscles, reduce fine lines around the eyes and other minor wrinkles, and achieve a certain cosmetic effect.
