It is difficult to find a person who would not want to prolong his youth. This issue is especially acute in women. Each time, approaching the mirror, the representatives of the fair sex with age notice changes in themselves and desperately try to restore the beauty of their young years. Some resort to expensive drugs, injections and even plastic surgery, not always getting the result that they wanted to achieve. But there are those who lead a healthy lifestyle and do not accept chemicals and surgery. Of course, they would choose a natural alternative to Botox and a scalpel. And modern cosmetology has such a tool!
Features
An alternative to surgery is myofascial facial massage. The procedure is only gaining its popularity in Russia, so we suggest finding out what it is.
Compliance with diet and regular exercise, of course, help to keep your body young.
The face is your business card to the world of youth. Every day we experience stress at work, and in fact our psychological state also directly depends on the perception of the surrounding world and the state of our body. The tension of the muscles of the face over time depletes the skin, making us look older. Therefore it is necessary to help our face to keep youth.
When the body is aging, there is a partial cessation of metabolic processes, the circulation of nutrients in the blood and lymph slows down, cell renewal worsens. If we talk about Botox, it partially stops the influx, which with prolonged use can lead to atrophy of the facial muscles. For women, a longer lasting effect is important without harm to health and consequences when they talk about their beauty.
Myofascial facial massage is a professional manual effect on the connective tissue (in medicine called fascia), and not on the skin and muscles.
The features of this type of massage is complete relaxation of the muscles that are in a state of spasm.
The state of spasm negatively affects the metabolism and leads to degradation of muscle fibers.
The specialist has a direct manual effect on the fascia, thereby restoring them and making them more flexible. With a professional deep massage, connective tissue becomes more elastic, vibrant, and also helps to improve the condition of the skin. The bloodstream and lymph flow are accelerated, making the skin beautiful and healthy. After all, blood delivers nutrients and nourishes muscles, and lymph is responsible for detoxifying waste at the cellular level.
When the spasm of the facial muscles and fascia blood and lymph can not move, nourish and cleanse the tissue, which leads to sluggish skin, wrinkles, dilated pores and loss of a clear contour of the face.
Myofascial facial massage is often compared with contouring or face lifting due to its positive effect on the skin.
Indications
The procedure is one of the ways to prevent age-related skin changes. It can be used separately or in conjunction with other anti-aging procedures, as well as for rehabilitation after surgery.

Performance technique

Before the procedure, the specialist will check the condition of the muscles of the face to determine the spasmodic sites. Immediately before the start of the procedure, make-up remover is performed, in the process the skin is not moistened with oils and creams, but, on the contrary, is powdered with talcum powder for dryness of the covering. Then there is a warm-up with special working movements of the hands starting from the chin and gradually moving to other points on the face and neck.
During the procedure, the patient needs to fully relax, take a slow breath and exhale to give the muscles to stretch freely.
The massage is done strictly with two hands in the direction of the fibers of the muscles, one hand holds the skin for resistance, while the other produces pulling movements. Due to this method, the connective tissue becomes more elastic and tightens the muscles, which become beautiful relief shapes.
