The peculiarity of this massage is that it is performed when the client is as relaxed as possible, and the massage therapist uses smooth movements, using only the tips of the fingers or the surface of the palms.
In addition, the main feature of chiromassage is the variety of hand movements that are never repeated. With this technique, the client experiences absolutely no pain. During the session, oils, candles and quiet relaxing music are used . It is thanks to these attributes that Spanish massage has a greater advantage than other types.
Thanks to chiromassage, you can even out your complexion in a short time, get rid of fine wrinkles, and also get rid of puffiness.
Basic Techniques
Like the classic method of manipulating the dermis of the face, the Spanish technique has its own special nuances. First of all, unlike any other techniques, where the basis for the implementation is muscle warming, these procedures begin with relaxation. Next, the master moves on to more advanced and targeted influences with the palms and fingertips.

Moreover, the entire procedure should be painless, which is why an experienced specialist constantly has to adjust the pressure he exerts on certain areas of the dermis. A mandatory nuance of any manipulation related to the Spanish method of influence is hypnotic musical accompaniment, as well as aromatic oils and candles.
Massage technique
Let's look at the technique of Spanish facial massage.
- As with any other facial massage, first of all you need to get rid of makeup and wash your face thoroughly (you can use special foams).
- Next, for better glide, a special cream or oil is applied to the face, depending on the patient’s skin type.
- All movements are performed very smoothly and easily using a light touch of the palms and fingertips. During the session, not only the forehead, chin, cheeks are affected, but also the neck and décolleté area.
- To achieve results, it is necessary to conduct a course of 10 sessions 2-3 times a week. Afterwards, you can repeat the course of Spanish massage in six months. If necessary, the procedures can be resumed earlier, but no more than 2 months after the session.
Types of Spanish facial massage
The creator of the complex has always placed special emphasis on the fact that the patient feels only relaxation, delight and pleasure during the massage. Being a physician, the author of the technique, Enrique Garcia, tried to provoke the production of endorphin ━ the hormone of happiness, which ensures the maximum effectiveness of this healing and rejuvenating procedure.
The whole secret lies in the individual approach and variety of techniques used.
Myostructural or myotensive massage
Strengthens the elasticity of muscles, including those at the junction with joints. Stroking movements relax the facial muscles, and the massage therapist’s fingertips carefully work out all the muscular organs of the face, of which there are a lot.
Somatoemotional massage
Trains the nervous system. The essence of the technique lies in the contrast of sensations received by the patient. Sudden harsh impacts on some sensitive areas alternate with leisurely soothing strokes. The master additionally uses fabric, smooth stones, threads, and feathers.
Lymphatic drainage massage
The purpose of the technique is to accelerate the removal of tissue fluid, which releases cellular decay products, toxins and waste from the body. Metabolism is stimulated, the regenerative properties of the skin are increased.
Hemolymphatic massage
Strengthens the vascular system and improves blood circulation, which has a positive effect on metabolism and stabilizes blood pressure. The techniques and techniques of this type of massage are designed to influence the movement of lymph and venous blood, the regulation of which improves tissue metabolism and slows down skin aging.
Neurosedative massage
Acupuncture uses specific areas of the brain. Gently but effectively relieves apathy, stress and irritability, and stabilizes sleep. At the physical level, rebirth occurs, since the technique provokes sensations of the intrauterine state, which the body of each person remembers. Read more in the article: “Neurosedative massage.”
Pilar Correcher technique
Shape-correcting technique for deep treatment of the facial muscles, neck and décolleté. Eliminates hypertonicity, increases tissue elasticity, promotes enhanced cell restoration, activates the production of collagen and elastin. The skin is saturated with oxygen and nutrients. There is an impact on the circulatory and lymphatic drainage systems located in the epidermis.
The procedure lasts a little more than half an hour, taking into account the mandatory use of an alginate mask. The mask is necessary as a fixation of the muscular frame developed by massage. The minimum course consists of 6-8 procedures.
Massage movements of a competent specialist should not cause pain.

Cosmetologists' opinion
Daria Konovalova, massage therapist
My regular clients quite often come to me for a Spanish facial massage. I believe that it is truly one of the most effective for combating premature aging and also provides great therapeutic benefits. I also recommend using it in combination with a vacuum massage, which uses special jars with suction cups. It is worth noting that when choosing a specialist, you should rely on reviews from friends and acquaintances, since improperly performing a massage can not only be ineffective, but also cause serious harm to the face, making the skin even more flabby and wrinkles deeper and more noticeable.
Victor Pavlenko, massage therapist
In our clinic there are a lot of people who want to try Spanish facial massage, which they read about on the Internet. However, many are irresponsible about this, since they come with completely different diseases, which are contraindications, and insist on a session. Not every specialist will be able to approach their work responsibly and refuse a client, so before attending any procedure, I recommend consulting with your doctor about the possibility of carrying out this procedure.
Reviews
We invite you to read real reviews from people about the Spanish modeling facial massage.
Maria, 40 years old
For the first time I went to a Spanish facial massage on the advice of a friend, who was very pleased with it. This massage was a revelation for me, because after the 5th procedure, the swelling that appeared every time I went to bed late went away, and my wrinkles were noticeably smoothed out, even those that were deeper. I completed 8 sessions in total, and now I can’t be happier with the results.
Victoria, 32 years old
When I read on the Internet about a massage technique that was new to me, I became interested in trying it. I found a master who specializes in Spanish facial massage very quickly, which I soon regretted very much. When I came for the first procedure, I didn’t know how everything should happen, and after I read that my face had to be perfectly clean, but they didn’t even tell me to get rid of makeup. In addition, the very next day I noticed bruising under my eyes and laxity of the skin around the nasolabial fold. It’s a pity that I spent a considerable amount in one session and had to look for a massage therapist again. But in the end, I was lucky and in just 4 procedures I was able to achieve the desired result.
Natalia, 27 years old
I never went to a salon for a massage, but preferred to do it at home using cups. But when I found out about the existence of Spanish massage, I was immediately very interested in it. I managed to undergo only 6 procedures, although it is recommended to do at least 7 procedures, however, due to its high cost, I cannot yet afford it. I really liked this technique because all the master’s movements were quite smooth, I did not feel any pain, and practically fell asleep during the session. I recommend Spanish massage to anyone who wants to get rid of wrinkles, acne or swelling on the face without resorting to acupuncture and other unpleasant sensations.

Features of hemolymphatic drainage of the face
Classic Spanish massage appeared more than a hundred years ago. Enrique Garcia - it is this person who needs to be thanked for the creation and implementation of the well-known technique. After some time, the method received a more scientific name: hemolymphatic drainage, which is also familiar to many people.
Our body consists of liquid for the most part. Enrique took this knowledge as a basis, because his technique consists of actively stimulating the intercellular fluid, which promotes the exchange of substances between cells and blood. Therapist Garcia masterfully combined old techniques with his vision of better stimulation of the body.
Spanish technology included:
- Ancient traditions of Tibet, including its spiritual practices;
- The oldest medicine is Ayurvedic;
- Yoga is the oldest training in mastering your body.
The goal of a Spanish facial massage is to restore the healthy appearance of the skin and increase its elasticity using the method of deep relaxation. Enrique Garcia highlighted the basic principles regarding the procedure of this massage:
- When performing it, a specialist should not combine several types of techniques. The effect of their combination can be extremely unpredictable. Therefore, to obtain the desired result, manual influence must be in one technique.
- The specialist performing the massage must know about all the nuances of the client’s body condition. This is especially true for the presence of dermatological problems and allergic reactions to cosmetic oils.
- Hemolymphatic drainage is performed with a huge number of different movements. There are about a hundred of them in total. Therefore, the facial skin does not get used to the massage and the effect of the procedure can be noticed even after the first session.
- The cosmetologist must work with deep, flexible movements, but at the same time very soft, so that the client does not feel tension or discomfort.
