CPAP lines in face

[BLKGUY2006]

To anyone who uses the full-face (bane-style) cpap mask

have you found a way to avoid the lines that it leaves in the cheeks?

the full face mask gives me pretty significant naso-labial folds.. which make me look like im in my 50's when im only 34

i dont mind the grannies hitting on me, but i prefer younger women.

is it simply something that will go away as i get leaner? (currently working with Luki to get shredded)

ive found masks that cover the entire face, and even a cpap helmet.. lol

wanting to explore my options here

my Naso-Labial folds are more pronounced when I wear mine too. I also get the lines on my cheeks and temple from the straps. I’ve loosened the straps as much as possible with out blow bye..I also backed the pressure down to a max of 5. It’s embarrassing to have lines and that imprint around your nose. I also notice if I dont wear it they folds are not near as pronounce…. You definitely not alone

lines don’t bother me but I hate the full face mask bc when I drool I wake up with a fucking herpe on my lip.

herpe on my lip

That’s not from the mask

That’s not from the mask

This is what I’m trying to avoid lol

so i've gotten much, much leaner while working with Luki


but the lines in my face persist. i am not at competition-level leanness with a death face, but this shouldnt be required in order for these lines to disappear - since the lines disappear if i stop wearing the mask for a week or so


so, ive ordered the nose pillow mask, breathe right strips, nasal spray, and mouth tape

going to see how this goes

Thats how mine look… a least to me. My dad has the some thing. I want to get it fixed but that seems so gay. Gay in a non-derogatory way.

Curious to see how this works for you. I stopped using my cpap because of the nasolabial folds and other things that were annoying me. However i do notice that i snore very very loud and im not as well rested as i used to be which hinders my recovery from training. I think i will also give the nose pillows a shot....

It also damages your heart and shortens your lifespan. If you have apnea…use your cpap. A face free of wrinkles doesn’t do anyone any favors in the grave

I would recommend trying the Philips DreamWear Nasal Mask. I've tried multiple masks, picked this up a couple months ago and from the very first night, slept the entire night with it on. Other masks I would last 3 hours on a good day (usually less than an hour). I'm also a side sleeper and no issues with it since the hose attaches at the top. No lines in the face and it's not exactly a pillow being shoved in your nostril.

forgoing apnea treatment for reasons of vanity is insane.

Especially considering its effects on BP and the fact that the most prevalent health issue that plagues bodybuilders is elevated BP leading to kidney damage and renal failure.

this mask has been working very well for me

ditched the full face mask

i read a testimony on reddit where a guy said that it took a month or so for the lines from the full face mask to really fade away

Yep, always used the silicone gel pillows. But I was never a mouth breather. Your recommendation is spot on - train yourself to breathe through your nose while doing regular activities and it will be much easier to sleep with it.

That said, I'm 37 but guys still always think I'm in my 40s due to the hair, beard, and effects heavy androgens and anabolic have on the face.

Don’t stress. When ur in ur 50s. People will still think ur in ur 40s
