Myofascial face massage: features and rules

It is difficult to find a person who would not like to prolong his youth. This question is especially acute for women. Each time, approaching the mirror, the fair sex notice changes in themselves with age and are desperately trying to regain the beauty of their youth. Some resort to expensive drugs, injections and even plastic surgery, not always getting the result they wanted to achieve. But there are those who lead a healthy lifestyle and do not accept chemicals and surgery. They would definitely choose a natural alternative to botox and scalpel. And modern cosmetology has such a remedy!

An alternative to surgical intervention is myofascial facial massage. The procedure is only gaining its popularity in Russia, so we propose to figure out what it is.

Eating a diet and exercising regularly will, of course, help keep your body looking young.

The face is your calling card to the world of youth. Every day we experience stress at work, but our psychological state also directly depends on the perception of the world around us and the state of our body. The tension in the muscles of the face depletes the skin over time, making us look older. Therefore, it is necessary to help our face to maintain youth.

When the body ages, there is a partial stop of metabolic processes, the circulation of nutrients in the blood and lymph slows down, and cell renewal deteriorates. If we talk about Botox, then it partially stops the flow, which, with prolonged use, can lead to atrophy of the facial muscles.For women, a longer lasting effect without harm to health and consequences is important when they talk about their beauty.

Myofascial facial massage is a professional manual effect on the connective tissue (called fascia in medicine), and not on the skin and muscles itself.

The state of spasm negatively affects the metabolism and leads to the 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, the connective tissue becomes more elastic, vibrant, and also helps to improve the condition of the skin. Blood and lymph flow is accelerated, leaving the skin beautiful and healthy. After all, blood delivers nutrients and nourishes muscles, and lymph is responsible for detoxifying waste at the cellular level.

Myofascial facial massage is often compared to contouring or facelift due to its positive effect on the skin.

The procedure is one of the ways to prevent age-related skin changes. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other anti-aging procedures, as well as for rehabilitation after surgery. After such a procedure, the skin of the face becomes taut, elastic and tender. The face becomes relaxed, the tension subsides and makes it possible to feel more attractive, which has a positive effect on our psychological health.

Myofascial facial massage is a complex procedure, although many people try to repeat a similar procedure at home using video tutorials. Still, you should entrust your beauty and health to professionals, since it is important to know the anatomy well and make clear and correct movements when performing. The result will not be long in coming.

The main indications for the procedure:

• loss of tone and elasticity of the muscles of the facial skin;
• swelling and lethargy;
• deep wrinkles on the forehead, crow's feet, pronounced nasolabial folds;
• enlarged pores;
• sagging skin;
• excessive fat deposits on the face or double chin;
• rehabilitation after surgery.

Myofascial facial massage is not suitable for everyone, so you should consult with your doctor before signing up for this procedure. In addition, salon specialists should familiarize with contraindications and clarify if you have any of them.

The main contraindications:

• active herpes;
• rosacea;
• eczema;
• scratches or open wounds on the skin;
• allergic rashes;
• infectious diseases;
• large moles and papillomas;
• skin cleansing or peeling procedures immediately before the procedure;
• increased body temperature.

As we have already noted, it is better to entrust the procedure of such a massage to professionals in order to get the maximum effect from it. Before the procedure, the specialist will check the condition of the muscles of the face to determine the spasmodic places. Immediately before the start of the procedure, make-up removal is performed; in the process, the skin is not moistened with oils and creams, but, on the contrary, is sprinkled with talcum powder to dry the skin. Next, there is a warm-up with special working movements of the hands, starting from the chin and gradually moving along other points on the face and neck.

The massage is done strictly with two hands in the direction of the muscle fibers, one hand holds the skin for resistance, and the other makes pulling movements.Due to this method, the connective tissue becomes more elastic and thickens the muscles, which acquire beautiful relief outlines.

The myofascial face massage service can be found in larger chains of beauty salons or clinics throughout Russia. The cost of the procedure ranges from 1,300 to 3,500 rubles, which is much lower than the cost of plastic surgery. Prices in different regions of the country differ slightly, so you need to clarify the exact cost in your city. The difference in cost depends on the location of the salon or clinic, the duration of the session and the qualifications of the specialist. For example, the cost in Moscow is from 1200 to 4000 rubles. In St. Petersburg, the price is 1300-2500 rubles. The cost is more often indicated for a time from 90 to 120 minutes.

As already noted, myofascial facial massage in some cases can replace plastic surgery, make your face look younger and fit.

The massage is performed by a specialist who, by deeply working on the connective tissue, can restore and improve blood flow and metabolism, as well as relax the facial muscles. Active and correct work of the body without stress and spasms is the secret of youth today.
