Intensity and technique
Use your fist (knuckles) or another hard/heavy object to hit your facial bones. Do at an intensity that basically is the maximum that you can tolerate, your tolerance will increase over-time due to increased bone density and reduced nerve sensitivity (the same adaptations that happen to muay thai/kickboxing trainers who condition their shins).
Duration and frequency
Hit a certain area for 1-2 minutes at a high intensity (feeling pain). Start off doing this 1-2 times a week and gauge recovery of your skin and how long the area remains sensitive to touch. Increase the frequency towards every other day as you see fit in order to maximize both scar tissue and bone growth.
Bracing
It is extremely important to brace in order to minimize brain movement during bonesmashing. The only reason fighters end up with CTE (chronic traumaticencephalopathy) is because of the movement of their head when punched which causes their brain to rattle around in their skull.
When you are going to begin a bonesmashing session, brace at the very least against your other arm/hand. Optimal bracing is against a seat that supports your head, or bracing by lying down in bed. Bracing against your hand and a hard wall is also effective. This is the part people underestimate.
Mechanism via Fibrosis
Correct application of fibrosis can result in 3 mm+ of thickness and visually widening cheekbones, jawline, temples, etc.
Meanwhile actual bone growth from bonesmashing is
1. Much slower
2. Much smaller
3. Barely visible without imaging
This is why fighters, boxers, and martial artists often look like their bones grew while in reality it’s MOSTLY thickened, fibrotic soft tissue over the bone. Realistically, facial bones would never grow 3–5 mm in a few months. Fibrosis can, and it CAN be permanent. Fibrosis can make the face look harder, wider, and more angular, but it can also become uneven, lumpy, chronically inflamed, and stiff.
