Canadian content creator Cindy Currie, also known as mommycurrie on TikTok, has sworn by silicone scar tape - a self-adhesive plaster which uses silicone to promote the healing of scars and hypertrophic scars.
The 48-year-old explained that the tape - which goes for as little as $12 on Amazon - works by telling your body to 'pull fluid' towards the skin, which results in 'plumping out those lines'.
In a short video posted to her page, the beauty enthusiast unveiled a short tutorial for applying scar tape to the face - and fans branded it 'genius'.
Beginning with a warning, she said: 'You've got to be careful with this stuff because once you start using it, you're gonna want to use it everywhere'.

Next up, she demonstrated how to use the tape, but not before revealing how she first stumbled upon the invention and explaining its use: 'Actually originally I got it for my marionette lines'.
She continued: '[The tape] creates a barrier on your skin and that naturally tells your `body to pull fluid to that area, plumping out those lines before bed.
'Circulation to that skin is actually helping to also create collagen production'.
She then cut the tape up into smaller pieces, tiny enough to cover various patches of her skin.
She instructed viewers to 'smooth out the skin' before applying the tape, before placing some around her forehead and mouth.
Although she advised others not to be overzealous when applying the tape, she admitted to rarely following her own advice and often ended up applying more than was necessary.
She also gave the green light for placing a strip of tape above the lower lip.
Shedding light on the rest of her anti-ageing regimen, she said: 'I do use a collagen H A [Hyaluronic Acid] matrix supplement using castor oil for the last two months, which I love, love'.

Going back to her tutorial, she said: 'If you're not comfortable wearing it overnight, you also can wear it during the day.
'Some mornings I'll wake up and I'll feel like there's a little crease there and I slap a piece on and just leave it on for a few hours.
'You can put it under the eyes [but] sometimes you can get that little creasy crease.
'When you do it consistently it makes everything so much better'.
Before ending the video, she revealed what some may consider the best part about the hack.
'And in the morning you can just take it off because you can put it back in the backer and you can use it the next night'.
The video was met with praise, as well as in influx of questions from viewers who were keen to try the hack.

'That's genius' said one person, before adding: 'But I’m scared that covering my sensitive skin will trigger a fungal acne breakout (from over antibiotic use after a surgery last year'.
Cindy advised the user not to leave it on overnight and instead to 'use it for an hour or two at a time'.
Another person wrote: 'I’m going to try this instead of Botox fingers crossed.'
One person asked: 'How long do the effects last? If I use it consistently but don't wear it at a weekend will the creases be back that day?'
'Oh my goodness, my partner is going to love waking up beside me now! I'm going to do it after he goes to bed too and just surprise!' said another.
Meanwhile, one person dubbed it a 'bandaid', while one unimpressed viewer wrote: 'Oh my gosh girl let your skin breath!'
