What are the benefits of classic facial massage?
Classic facial massage is a combination of various techniques and techniques that create a gentle effect on the skin using your hands.
Movements are smooth and superficial. The emphasis is placed primarily on working on the skin; deeper tissues are minimally affected. The procedure is performed with fingertips, which move across the face with smooth and sliding movements. Stroking with periodic pressure is acceptable, as well as patting and vibrating movements. To make it easier to glide, reduce friction and stretch tissue, the skin is moisturized with special products before the procedure. Usually it is cream or oil. To achieve results, massage is performed along massage lines. They are special vectors along which the skin resists stretching more strongly than others. With the help of a classic facial massage, you can achieve visible and lasting results, as well as reduce the severity of various skin problems:

Jade facial massager
Jade is a cold stone, so it does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. Jade massagers can be used regularly at any time. Use to prevent skin aging, as well as to minimize shallow wrinkles.

What are “beauty points”?
Massage with a Guasha scraper and roller affects biologically active points located on the face. These points are also called “beauty points”, which help the skin renewal process to proceed faster. Biological points are associated with acupuncture massage techniques; they represent a small area of skin and subcutaneous structures that are connected to each other. Due to their structure, these areas are able to release an increased amount of active substances, creating a depot - the condition of the skin improves.
Features of beauty points:

- There is increased oxygen consumption in this area;

Challenge on using a gua sha roller for the face
You know, don’t feed me bread, let me get involved in some new challenge. March was no exception for me. For 30 days I tested a facial roller made of natural stone on myself.
Now this cosmetic device is at the peak of popularity. Major bloggers constantly post stories from the bathroom, where they roll out nascent wrinkles and fight puffiness. What's worse about me?
About a month ago, a friend gave me a whole set of quartz: a scraper and a Guasha massager. According to her, these things helped her look prettier for a couple of years. Now it’s my turn to rejuvenate. My friend, by the way, really began to look fresher. I also decided to try it. What if the remedies really work?
I asked my friend what exactly, how and with what frequency she did to do the same. For a month, I set myself a condition: to start and end the day with stone massagers. I am happy to share the results.
Roller massage technique
Using a roller massager is only effective if you follow a few rules.
It is recommended to start the massage from the neck to improve lymph flow.
Place a large roller under the ear and roll 5-10 times, first on one side, then smoothly move to the other.
As soon as you finish the downward movements in the neck area, begin movements towards the ears from the center of the neck - to the sides and up, as if lifting the skin.
Facial massage starts from the center of the chin and moves upward towards the ear. At the same time, making smooth movements and repeating 5-10 times for each side.
Then a massage of the lips and cheeks is carried out. First you need to massage your lips and then start massaging up and out towards your ear. Massage on the cheeks follows the same principle: up and down the ear. It is performed from the inside, that is, from the nose to the ears.
You can also make movements with the roller from bottom to top, moving the roller away from the jaw with a light tap on the cheekbone. Thanks to this technique, you can significantly improve the appearance of your cheekbones and improve your facial contour.
When massaging the forehead, place the roller in the center between the eyebrows. Make movements up the eye area and towards the hairline. Repeat 5-10 times for each section until the entire forehead is massaged.
The next step is to move towards the ear to release toxins to the lymph nodes behind the ears. Then the massage is performed in one wide movement from the sides of the jaw to the base of the neck, which must be repeated 3-5 times.
Massage the area around the eyes starting from the inner corner of the eyes to the ear. The movements are gentle, without pressure, as this area is sensitive and delicate.

Laser lifting
Laser lifting is one of the types of lifting with thermal loading - a laser beam selectively burns dead cells. Against the background of exposure to the beam, blood circulation increases, and dead cells are quickly separated from the dermis. Recovery processes proceed quickly, the rejuvenating effect is noticeable after each session.
After the procedure, wrinkles become less noticeable. Active collagen production begins and elasticity returns. The laser does not cause discomfort, and recovery is relatively quick.
This type of lift can be done at any time of the year, because active sun does not affect the result. The procedure is suitable for any skin type, even the most sensitive. Laser can rejuvenate both large areas of the dermis and act selectively, for example, to remove a scar or scar.
Laser lifting is carried out using the following types of lasers:
- Neodymium. Eliminates vascular patterns.
- Diode. Used for skin tightening.
- Fractional. Deep peeling.
- Erbium. Elimination of fine wrinkles and smoothing of deep wrinkles.
Age
As a rule, laser rejuvenation is recommended at the age of 30-35 years - the production of one’s own collagen is still sufficient, wrinkles are shallow and the laser can effectively affect them. Each of us has an individual skin condition, so at the first meeting the cosmetologist will draw up an individual course program and choose a laser.
RF lifting
RF lifting is the effect of radio frequency on the superficial and middle layers of the skin. At the beginning of the last century, scientists discovered that diseases can be treated with high-frequency currents. In the 2000s, this technology began to be used in cosmetology, where it still produces amazing results.
Cosmetologists use two types of RF lifting devices:
- Lifting based on the principle of diathermy. The current passes through the metal electrodes and heats the skin.
- Lifting using the UHF method. The skin is heated using an electromagnetic field. The electrodes are covered with a dielectric - a coating that weakly conducts electric current.
During an RF lifting session, currents reach the deep layers of the dermis, warming it up to 50 °C, which leads to the destruction of the protein layer of the skin and strengthening of collagen fibers. Blood circulation increases, the fat layer decreases. Expression wrinkles gradually disappear.
Possibilities
RF lifting gives excellent results with visible changes in the skin, will get rid of scars and wrinkles on the face, and will make the skin more elastic and smooth.
After 50 years, the duration of the course increases. At this age, the body produces much less collagen than before, so experts recommend increasing the number of sessions to 8-10 and combining RF lifting with other anti-aging techniques, for example, biorevitalization or mesotherapy.
