Plastic face massage: technique and description of the procedure

Every person dreams to keep youth as long as possible. But the modern rhythm of life and the degree of contamination of cities significantly affect the health of our skin, make it lifeless and dull, immediately adding to the age of several years. Of course, you can improve the appearance with the help of special injections. However, there is a fairly large percentage of people who for one reason or another refuse such a method. An alternative and quite effective way to tighten the skin of the face is plastic massage.

Sculptural facial massage together with general skin care allows you to achieve excellent and lasting results. Regular use of modern techniques helps significantly tighten the shape of the face, making it clearer. And also to relieve tension of mimic muscles, bring them into tone.

The essence of the procedure is a special impact of fingers and palms on the skin of the face, which leads to the desired results, improvement:

• blood circulation in the layers of the epidermis;
• cell regeneration;
• lymph drainage;
• the sebaceous glands;
• complexion;
• elasticity and smoothness of the skin and so on.

The vast majority of people who are interested in plastic facial massage, are already in adulthood. Therefore, it is fair to consider age as one of the main indications for such a procedure. However, it is difficult to name specific numbers, since the skin condition of different people can vary considerably. This is due to differences in lifestyle, nutrition, heredity, climate conditions and the like.

We list more specific parameters that indicate that you need to think about plastic massage:

• the oval of the face became blurred;
• face and neck skin has lost its firmness and elasticity;
• there were deep age and / or facial wrinkles;
• chronic swelling appeared under the eyes.

But also such a massage is recommended to patients after plastic surgery on the face. And also to those people whose profession involves a daily heavy load on the facial muscles (actors, presenters, and so on).

Despite the fact that the sculptural facial massage is quite a useful procedure, some contraindications for its implementation still exist.

These include:

• any inflammation on the skin - eczema, dermatitis, acne, purulent rashes, and so on;
• the presence of large moles, papillomas, tumors;
• problems with the facial vascular system - rosacea, rosacea, etc.;
• all sorts of allergic reactions;
• acute respiratory infections;
• swollen lymph nodes;
• excessive skin sensitivity;
• problems with blood clotting.

This is not a complete list of contraindications that can make the execution of a facial massage impossible.

The technique of plastic facial massage is different from the classic. The difference lies not only in the final effect of the procedure, but also in the features of its implementation. In particular, the sculptural massage requires maximum clarity and rhythm of action. And also during the processing of tissues no cream or lotions are used, only special sterile talc is used, which covers the face and neck completely.This helps to achieve stronger contact between the hands of the specialist and the patient's skin. So, the effect of the procedure will be better.

The movements are carried out in the direction of the massage lines, concentric circles. Thus, fabrics are not subject to excessive stretching and are not displaced. A professional makes deep, energetic palm movements. However, this does not cause unpleasant or painful sensations. The main techniques in performing the sculptural massage are: stroking, vibration, kneading, tapping. Each movement is repeated three times and is performed on 4 or 8 accounts.

Theoretically, plastic massage is quite possible to do at home, and not in the salon. However, such a decision requires tremendous responsibility. After all, it is not easy to perform the right actions to yourself. Even to completely relax the muscles of the face and neck during self-massage is no easy task. Only a lot of experience and daily practice will help you to achieve noticeable results from an independent plastic massage. Of course, it is better to entrust such a procedure to professionals, so as not to doubt the future result. But independent daily exercises can also bring a good cosmetic effect.

It is enough just to massage the face in line for 5 or 10 minutes daily or a couple of times a week. The rules are the same as for the procedures in the cabin. Consecutive massage movements should be carried out from the middle of the forehead to the temples, then to the temples of the same, but from the nose. Next, go to the movements from the lips to the ears and from the middle of the chin to the ears. Movement should be soft, rhythmic and repetitive. And upon completion of the manipulations, a cool compress or mask should be applied to the skin of the face. Compress is best done on the decoction of herbs, and the composition of the mask should be suitable for your skin type. This will help reduce puffiness and increase the effect of the procedure.
