The thread delves into the fascinating and somewhat controversial realm of bioelectric patterning manipulation, bioelectricity in general, and its potential impact on our appearance.

For the past 65 years, the focus of developmental biology has been on DNA as the carrier of biological information. Researchers have typically assumed that genetic expression patterns alone are enough to determine embryonic development.
To Levin, however, that explanation is unsatisfying. “Where does shape come from? What makes an elephant different from a snake?” he asked. DNA can make proteins inside cells, he said, but “there is nothing in the genome that directly specifies anatomy.” To develop properly, he maintains, tissues need spatial cues that must come from other sources in the embryo. At least some of that guidance, he and his team believe, is electrical.
In recent years, by working on tadpoles and other simple creatures, Levin’s laboratory has amassed evidence that the embryo is molded by bioelectrical signals,
“This electrical signal works as an environmental cue for intercellular communication, orchestrating cell behaviors during morphogenesis and regeneration,”
"That’s what led Levin and his colleagues to start tinkering with the resting potential of cells. By changing the voltage of cells in flatworms, over the last few years they produced worms with two heads, or with tails in unexpected places. In tadpoles, they reprogrammed the identity of large groups of cells at the level of entire organs, making frogs with extra legs and changing gut tissue into eyes — simply by hacking the local bioelectric activity that provides patterning information."

The video showed a frog embryo busily dividing to become a tadpole. Then, this tiny, smooth blob began to light up. Electrical patterns flashed a series of unmistakable images across it: two ears, two eyes, jaws, a nose. These ghostly projections didn’t last long. But 2 or 3 hours later, exactly where they had glimmered, the real things appeared: two ears, two eyes, jaws, a nose. Here, at last, was the proof she had been after in her role on a decade-long project undertaken by Michael Levin at Tufts University in Massachusetts. It showed that electrical patterns provide a blueprint that shapes a developing body, coordinating where to put its face and grow its other features.
Astounding as this sounds, it is just one of many roles that electricity plays in biology. There is mounting evidence that, as well as instructing development, electricity influences everything from wound healing to cancer. “Bioelectric gradients and communication are fundamental to being alive,” says Levin. If we can map this “electrome” and learn to decode it, some astonishing consequences for our health would only be the start.

And he thinks that we have another underlying network that is about our shape, and that this is bioelectrically mediated in really important ways, which impacts development, of course, but also wound healing. Because if you think about the idea that your body understands its own shape, what happens when you get a cut? How does it heal it? It has to go back to some sort of memory of what its shape is in order to heal it over. In animals that regenerate, they have a completely different electrical profile after they’ve been—so after they’ve had an arm chopped off.

"If you look at the early embryo as it's putting its face together, for example, you'll see something we call "the electrical face"... which is basically that prior to all of the genes being turned on to make different face components and so on, and certainly prior to the anatomy, there is an electrical pre-pattern in that region that basically looks like a face."
"You can see where the eyes are going because the voltage is different, you can see where the mouth is going to be..."
"...If that pattern (the electrical pattern determining how a face will look) is instructive, then you ought to be able to do two things, you ought to be able to mess it up, and thus disrupt that electrical pattern, and thus get defects in craniofacial patterning"
"...the more exciting thing you might be able to do is to get those electrical patterns and move them elsewhere"

Developmental bioelectricity is the regulation of cell, tissue, and organ-level patterning and behavior by electrical signals during the development of embryonic animals and plants.
en.wikipedia.org
Morphogenesis is the biological process that causes a cell, tissue or organism to develop its shape.
Evidence:
- Research on tadpoles and other simple organisms suggests electrical patterns precede anatomical development.
- Manipulating voltage in flatworms and tadpoles led to dramatic changes in morphology, like extra limbs and organ reprogramming.

Researchers are building a case that long before the nervous system works, the brain sends crucial bioelectric signals to guide the growth of embryonic tissues.

The amazing ways electricity in your body shapes you and your health
Your cells crackle with electric signals that guide embryonic development and heal wounds. If we can learn to tweak this “bioelectric code”, we might be able to prevent cancer and even grow new limbs

Hypothesis And Implications On Looksmaxing:
- Our unique bioelectrical pattern dictates morphology (how our bone structure, eye area, and other parts of the body is shaped, not size, but shape.)
- Our unique bioelectrical pattern isn't genetically inherited! But, it serves as a template for how our faces are shaped. Different bioelectrical patterns is the reason why you look like you and not like an exact replica of @Blackgymmax (bone structure wise)
- Could we tweak this bioelectrical morphological pattern to modify our appearance?
- We could use electricity to possibly grow taller, modify our bone structure, features, etc. at home with possibly high precision, etc.
- We could use bioelectricity and use those bioelectric patterns to change our own face into that somewhat influenced by someone else's bioelectric patterning (and in turn, actually morphing yourself with someone)
- We could use this to create new hair follicles wherever we wanted?
- Stimulate hair growth?
- Enhance skin quality (collagen and elastin)
- Anti-aging of the face.
- Recruit stem cells.
- Fix facial asymmetry?
- Microcurrent devices are an established and scientifically proven way to enhance facial muscles size and growth, sculpting, toning, defining and contouring your face by administering micro shocks.
- And much more!
Way to make your nose smaller without surgery
So I feel like when it comes to noses on this forum everybody just points straight to rhinoplasty as opposed to all the DIY looksmax things we all do for just about everything else. It's actually possible to permanently reshape your nose without surgery and I'm going to a post a link to...

Limitations:
- Some of the things said above are hypothetical and haven't necessarily been proven and may be wrong.
- Much of this is in the early stages of research, and some claims are purely hypothetical.
- The technical challenges of precise control and potential side effects remain significant.
