Sagging Cheeks
Nuvicor device for pulling up cheeks muscles - Musculus Buccinator
Cheek MUSCLE TRAINING (BUCCINATOR MUSCLE)
Benefits of Training
- Helps reduce cheek sagging and puffiness.
- Helps create a slimmer, more toned look.
- Helps maintain a sharp, defined facial contour.

About the buccinator muscle
Location
Inside the cheek (Fig. 1)
Physiological function
Presses the cheeks against the teeth.
Step 1: Device Setup
1
Insert the batteries into the Nuvicor device.
2
Open the Nuvicor app on your phone.
3
Make sure the device is connected (a rapidly flashing indicator light confirms the connection).
Step 2: Preview
1
How to engage your cheek muscle: Put your finger in your mouth and press it against the inside of your cheek, stretching it slightly (see Fig. 2A). Try to tense your cheek, pushing back against your finger. This is what provides the necessary tension in the cheek muscle.
2
Positioning: Press the two metal contacts to the skin as shown (Fig. 2B). Keep your finger pressed against the contact on the device's housing at all times (B). Keep your finger pressed against the device's contact at all times (C).

3
Visual Feedback: Tense your cheek muscle and watch the red bar on the left (Fig. 3). It rises as the muscle tenses and drops when relaxed. Repeat this slowly a few times to ensure proper form.
4
Press "OK" to begin the exercises.

Step 3: Test
1
Purpose: The test is performed before exercises so the app can automatically adapt to your physical capabilities.
2
Preparation: Clean your skin with a tissue and position the device correctly on your face.
3
Execution: Follow the voice commands. Once the test starts, tense the muscle with maximum effort three times in a row. The onscreen graph should match the provided illustration (Fig. 4).
4
Completion: Repeat the test if necessary and save your results. Your test results from each session serve as the primary objective indicator of your muscle improvement.

Step 4: Exercises
Exercises #1: Restoring Muscle Volume
1
Clean your skin with a tissue and position the device correctly on your face.
2
Verify that the red vertical line on the left is at the bottom when your muscles are relaxed and rises when you contract them (Fig. 5).
3
Action: Press START. Follow the voice prompts to perform five muscle contractions. Aim to push the graph above the red line, as shown in the figure.
4
Repetition: Repeat the exercise after a short rest.
Figure 5
Exercises #2: Restoring Muscle Strength
Your goal is to control muscle tension so that the graph passes gradually through all the colored squares. Straying outside the squares is considered an error.
1
Press "START", listen for voice commands, and monitor the graph on the screen (Fig. 6).
2
Repeat the exercise after a rest period.
Figure 6
Focus on precision and maintain firm device contact.
Exercises #3: Restoring Muscle Tone
In this exercise, a video will be displayed instead of a graph.
1
Action: Press "START" and maintain a constant, steady muscle tension.
2
Biofeedback: The video will play only when muscle tension is sufficient (Fig. 7A). If tension drops, the screen will go black (Fig. 7B). Simply increase tension slightly to resume playback.
3
Intervals: A break is provided every 30 seconds. Repeat the cycle after resting. You can customize your experience by selecting your own videos via the "VIDEO" button.

Results Window
After completing the exercises, the session results screen will appear. It summarizes the performance of the trained muscle during the test and across all exercises (Fig. 8). You can save this screen as an image to your photo gallery by pressing the SAVE button.
The END OF SESSION button ends the session and returns you to the home screen (or main menu).
