Modeling facial massage: main types and their brief characteristics

To preserve and maintain beauty, many women prefer modeling facial massage. This type of skin treatment is an excellent alternative to surgical interventions. Buccal facial massage is fitness for the skin of women at different ages. Experienced modern cosmetologists note that the procedure differs significantly from the classic options for sculptural massage on the facial area. Performing this procedure regularly is necessary for the face to improve the oval shape and give the skin a healthier appearance.

Effect of the procedure

Modeling manual facial massage is aimed at increasing the elasticity of the dermis and creating a pronounced, clear facial contour. Properly performed manipulations will help achieve beautiful relief, relieve increased muscle tone, and enhance the production of collagen and elastin structures.

During the procedure, not only the facial skin is massaged, but also the collar area, neck area, and décolleté. Manual massage combines plasticizing and lymphatic drainage techniques, the pinch method against deep wrinkles, as well as micromassage. High efficiency is achieved through localized deep treatment of problem areas that are most affected by age-related changes.

• Lifting effect. Deep study of the facial muscles contributes to the formation of a reliable frame, thanks to which the facial skin is tightened, the oval becomes clear, pronounced, and the double chin disappears.
• Improved blood circulation. Active microcirculation provides high-quality nutrition and oxygen supply to the skin. Thanks to this effect, the dermis is noticeably rejuvenated, looks fresh, radiant, and attractive.
• Normalization of lymphatic drainage. After the manipulations, lymphatic drainage improves, fluid stops accumulating in soft tissues, swelling and puffiness of the face go away, bags and bruises under the eyes disappear.

Varieties of techniques

There are various techniques for performing modeling massage. Each of them is aimed at solving specific problems. The cosmetologist decides which type of technique is most suitable in an individual case after a preliminary examination and determination of indications.

The most effective and popular types of modeling massage are:

• Italian. During the procedure, the massage therapist uses his palms, connecting them in a certain way. The essence of the technique is to stimulate biologically active points, which promotes more active synthesis of collagen and elastin. These proteins form the basis of human connective tissue, providing it with strength, firmness, and elasticity. After a course of therapy, the condition of the skin noticeably improves: fine wrinkles, dryness, peeling disappear, local immunity increases, skin color improves, the microrelief is evened out, and the oval becomes clearer and tighter.
• Spanish. A distinctive feature of this type of massage is that movements of the same type are not repeated twice. The master performing the manipulation must be fluent in this technique. Manual effects on soft tissues help improve microcirculation of blood and lymph, activate regenerative processes, and form stable local immunity. The procedure can be prescribed to patients with pronounced signs of age-related changes. A Spanish massage course will help delay radical surgical rejuvenation procedures.
• Manual. This type of massage can only be entrusted to an experienced specialist with a medical education. During the procedure, not only the upper layers of the epidermis are affected, but also the subcutaneous fatty tissue, the volume of which decreases over time. The massage therapist carefully works on problem areas strictly in the direction of the massage lines. Such manipulations improve blood circulation, normalize lymph flow, strengthen facial muscles, and have a beneficial effect on the general condition of the skin. After a course of procedures, reliable reinforcement of the oval of the face is ensured, but in addition, the characteristic signs of skin aging disappear: facial wrinkles and folds, dryness, peeling, dull color.
• Moroccan. The technique involves active impact on the skin with the pads of the fingers and the edge of the palm. The main task of this type of modeling massage is the formation of a pronounced facial contour, reducing the layer of subcutaneous fat located in the chin area and on the cheeks. Facial modeling massage is carried out using natural essential oils, which are selected by a specialist taking into account skin type and the severity of age-related defects. After a course of rejuvenating techniques, the double chin disappears, a strong muscle frame is formed, signs of gravitational ptosis are reduced, wrinkles in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle and on the forehead become almost invisible.
• Japanese Zogan. The effect is comparable to plastic surgery. The essence of the procedure is to actively influence biologically active points located on the head. Stimulation of the points alternates with lymphatic drainage techniques and deep treatment of the facial muscles. At the end of the massage, a warm-up is performed to promote the active removal of toxins and decay products from soft tissues. A course of procedures launches regeneration processes, improves metabolism, provides reliable reinforcement and rejuvenation of the skin.
• French. The essence of the technique is high-quality treatment of superficial tissues, while the facial muscles are not affected. All manipulations are carried out with the fingertips and palms bent into a boat. Particular attention is paid to working on the area of ​​the forearm, neck, cheeks, and lymph nodes on the chest.
• Lymphatic drainage. The main goal of the technique is to normalize lymph flow. During manipulations, the massage therapist uses his thumbs. Pressure is applied strictly in the direction of lymph movement. After a course of procedures, swelling, puffiness of the face, bags and bruises under the eyes disappear. In addition, the facial contour becomes more prominent and pronounced, wrinkles and congestive spots disappear, and the activity of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
