Around menopause, Mallika Some often sees more facial wrinkles, thinner-feeling skin, sagging cheeks, downturned mouth corners and under-eye bags. She teaches Face Yoga in that window because the face is rarely exercised and lymphatic drainage is sluggish — and she has seen visible transformation within about two months in students who stay with the practice.

Among the women Mallika has taught, those whose menopause is about to start — or has already arrived — often notice facial change first. Wrinkles appear more. Skin can feel very thin. Muscles lose tone. Saggy cheeks, lip corners and under-eye bags show up more often.
For those, Face Yoga is very necessary. Since lymphatic drainage doesn't happen properly — because they don't really do exercises on the face — Face Yoga becomes highly necessary. And they also improve very quickly.
She has quite a few students in this stage. With regular practice, she has seen a quite significant facial transformation within two months — visible change, not a filter. That is classroom observation from nearly 25 years of teaching, offered honestly as experience rather than a guarantee for every face.
Questions students actually ask
Does Face Yoga treat menopause?
No. Hot flushes, bone health, bleeding changes and hormone therapy belong with a doctor. Face Yoga is a supportive facial practice beside medical care.
