Abstract

A disposable adhesively engagable neck and facial wrinkle gathering device which in one embodiment includes an elongated fully elastic main strip formed of flexible non-woven hypoallergenic elastic tape adhesively coated on one entire side thereof. This embodiment also includes a non-adhesive fully elastic fabric central strip adhered against and coextensive with a central length of the adhesive side of the main strip. Another embodiment includes a length of slender elastic string connectable at each end thereof to an elastic or non-elastic adhesive strip having one adhesive surface. Both embodiments are structured to extend either partially around to the sides and back of the user's neck from the nape of the neck or downwardly from around the top of the base of the ear along either side of the ear or from the sides of the face around the back or over the crown of the head. When so positioned, with the central elastic portion stretched, the facial or neck skin is drawn back away from the face to stretch and flatten wrinkles and flabby tissue.
