Wrinkles using hybrid mask

Post by kevc » Thu Nov 24, 2011 10:06 am

Hi. Currently using the Innomed Hybrid mask and noticed that after using it for about a year or so, I noticed that my bottom right chin is a little puffy and wont go away due to the bottom of the mask pressing against the skin. Has anyone experience something similiar or is this the price to pay of using such mask? I ordered the pad a cheek to see if that will work. Thanks.

I have the padacheek liner plus I cut off the chin flap part as it was irritating my chin. Try is first with the liner then if that doesn't work......scissors...carefully

Yes. All around my mouth, and nothing to do with the bottom flap.

Nothing at all that doesn't go away in an hour or two. Much better then any other full face mask. Either put a barrier such as a pad a cheek to prevent irritation or maybe your bottom strap is too tight.
