Sculpting a new look: all about sculptural facial massage

Representatives of the fair sex are ready to make almost any sacrifice just to preserve the beauty and youth of their facial skin. Modern cosmetology is developing quite rapidly, inventing all kinds of transformation methods. One of the popular and effective methods has become sculptural facial massage, which gives amazing results comparable to a complex of plastic surgeries and beauty injections. We talk about this method in more detail, and also describe the results that sculptural facial massage is ready to offer you!

What is facial sculpture massage?

Sculptural massage is an innovative facial care technique that can be used to restore clear contours, smooth out contours, restore elasticity to tissues and relax muscles. This type of massage is called an advanced technique for non-surgical skin tightening, although it was originally used for therapeutic purposes to restore facial muscle mobility in stroke patients. During the procedures, a “side effect” was noticed from the massage: the skin became more toned, wrinkles were smoothed out, and the oval of the face was strengthened. It was then that cosmetologists adopted sculptural massage and included it in the list of services.

The author of the sculptural facial massage was the French biochemist and cosmetologist Joëlle Siocco. She combined several types of effects during her performance: classical massage, lymphatic drainage, Japanese, osteopathic, acupressure Shiatsu, Jacquet and Tibetan. As a result, every muscle and cell of the face was worked out, the fatty and outer layer of the skin is affected, blood circulation is activated and the lymphatic drainage effect is increased. The cosmetologist literally “sculpts” new contours on your face, shapes your cheekbones, and gets rid of a double chin. Your face can even change its shape, not to mention the fact that you will forget about your wrinkles.

The duration of the procedure usually varies from 30 to 40 minutes. To achieve a visible and lasting result, it is recommended to do 10-15 rounds of sculptural facial massage. It is recommended to visit a specialist 2-3 times a week, and after completing the course, you can go for a massage 1-2 times a month to maintain the effect. The optimal age when you can do a sculptural facial massage: from 25 years old. It is at this time that the first wrinkles begin to form, and the skin loses its former elasticity.

Many people ask the question: “How long does the effect last after a sculptural facial massage?” Here we can draw an analogy with playing sports: after the first workout, you feel tone and tension throughout your body, but after a few days everything goes away. There will be visible results only when you train regularly and systematically. The same is true with a sculptural facial massage: after the first session, you will see that the skin is tightened and the face has changed significantly, but the effect will disappear after 4-5 days. That is why it is recommended to perform sculptural massage as a course - after it the effect lasts up to 12 months, especially if you do not forget about maintenance sessions.

Plastic massage price

The average cost of the procedure ranges from 1,000 – 2,500 rubles. For noticeable rejuvenation, cosmetologists recommend taking a full course of therapy, which consists of 10–15 sessions. At the end of the course, the skin should rest for 2 months. After this, the procedure can be repeated.

Its main purpose is rejuvenation.

• eyelid ptosis;
• age spots;
• folds;
• shaved;
• facial contour blurred over time;
• unhealthy skin color;
• a pronounced nasolabial triangle with all its mournful folds.

Execution technique

1. A nourishing cream is applied to the skin (initially it was assumed that this would be a product from the same cosmetic company that ordered the massage, but now, as part of home execution, you can use any).
2. In a certain sequence, starting from the forehead and ending with the neck, you need to make soft, light, smoothing movements along the massage lines.
3. There is no pressing or pinching here. The purpose of massage is to provide physical and aesthetic pleasure.
4. The action time is about half an hour.

At first glance, it may seem that the rejuvenating classic French massage from Christelle Guinet is very easy to perform and does not require any effort. However, as you master the technique of performing it, you will understand that everything here is not at all simple: you need to know the sequence of movements and their exact trajectory in order to achieve results.

• after 35 and up to 50 years of age, there should be 2–3 courses per year, 12–15 procedures each;
• from 50–55 years old, the course should last 12–15 procedures with a frequency of 3 times a year; In this case, structuring massage should be carried out every other day.

Types of sculptural facial massage

French sculptural facial massage is one of the popular types of sculptural massage. Its peculiarity lies in the intensive study of important points and muscle joints. Massaging the facial and chewing muscles is done on both sides: internal and external. After influencing the muscles, they quickly become toned, tissue nutrition and oxygen supply improve. During a French sculptural facial massage, the master must use several techniques and combine them in combination. It is also important to know the structure of the skin, muscles, and type of aging in order to massage the skin correctly.

Myostructural sculptural facial massage was created about 15 years ago by Spanish professor Enrique Castells Garcia. The technique is based on chiromassage and sculpting techniques. Myostructural facial massage not only affects the skin, tissues and muscles, but also affects joints, cartilage and bones. This type of massage can also be applied to the entire body, as a result of which not only significant rejuvenation will occur, but also the functioning of the circulatory and nervous systems will be normalized, tissue regeneration will increase, and turgor will be restored. Depending on which area needs to be worked, the massage is performed with the elbows, fingertips, fingers, and hands.

Liposculpture facial massage (also called the Asahi and Zogan Methods) is a type of massage that works on capillaries, skin receptors, lymph nodes and adipose tissue. In the process of exposure, tissue metabolism improves and fat breakdown occurs, which leads not only to a facelift, but also to a significant reduction in its volume. During the massage, the temperature in the treated area increases, lymph and blood circulation increases, and waste and toxins are removed. The complexion improves significantly, the synthesis of collagen and elastin increases, due to which the skin tightens, becomes firm and elastic.

Liposculpture facial massage is performed using pinches, grips, pressure of varying intensity, kneading, rubbing and patting.

Sculptural-buccal facial massage is one of the most popular types of massage, which can cause some discomfort during execution. It's all about force and fairly active kneading of a certain area. The first session of buccal sculpture massage lasts no more than 15 minutes - the patient must get used to the effects. With each subsequent session, the time increases and can ultimately reach 40 minutes. Massaging begins with warming up the facial muscles. All movements are quite smooth, in the direction of the massage lines. The specialist changes the pressure and intensity. After a session of sculptural-buccal massage, discomfort is replaced by pleasant fatigue in the muscles - this indicates high-quality performance.

Features of the technology

A sculptural lifting facial massage was developed by the Frenchwoman Joëlle Siocco. With three degrees in chemistry, biology and botany, she has worked in the professional cosmetology field for 35 years. She became the author of numerous natural-based cosmetic products.

Thanks to her achievements in the field of preserving female beauty, she received the position of international expert at L'Oréal Paris.

Joelle Siocco's calling card is massages with a unique technique and effective results. These include sculptural and buccal facial massage.

It was originally developed for people who have suffered a stroke, with the goal of returning muscles to their former shape and functionality. It was then observed that patients received smooth contours and healthy-looking skin. Therefore, deep tissue facial massage has moved from the therapeutic category to the cosmetic category.

Facial sculpting is a technique that combines effective movements from various techniques:

• classic;
• Japanese;
• French;
• Tibetan massage;
• lymphatic drainage

With this massage, the cosmetologist (massage therapist) literally “sculpts” the patient’s new face. During the procedure, the deep layers of muscles and subcutaneous fat, lymphatic pathways and tissue junctions are worked out.

Attention! The technique is quite aggressive, and the patient may experience pain after the session.

Technique for sculptural facial massage

Many people ask the question: “How to do a sculptural facial massage?” During a sculptural massage, it is necessary to use various massage movements: pinching, kneading, patting, pressing, rolling between the fingers, etc. Experts often use emollient creams and oils to facilitate gliding and nourish the cells with beneficial ingredients.

Sculptural massage begins with cleansing the skin of cosmetics and other impurities. If necessary, you can steam your face, apply oil and begin the actual massage. Sculpting begins with working out the back and side parts of the cervical-collar zone, then moves to the front part and moves towards the area of ​​the second chin. Initially, the face is simply stroked and kneaded.

The movements are smooth and soft - the skin is being prepared for a deeper effect. Gradually, the intensity, speed, amplitude and strength of the impact increases, the skin is rolled between the phalanges of the fingers, pressure is applied to biologically active points and massage lines are worked out. The force of impact sometimes reaches six kilograms per centimeter of skin. The work is done with the phalanges and fingertips. The sculptural facial massage is completed with stroking movements and vibration with the fingertips. Afterwards you can apply a natural mask.

Sculptural facial massage is an advanced technique for skin rejuvenation and tightening. Regular implementation will lead to amazing results that are comparable to a complex of surgical operations. You won’t recognize your reflection in the mirror, and your friends will be interested in the contacts of the specialist who made such a transformation happen.

Instructions for implementation

The session begins with gentle stroking over the entire area: décolleté, neck, face. Next come the main stages:

1. The strokes become stronger, acquiring a drainage effect.
2. Then, along the massage lines of the neck, “water mill” movements are made (stroking, in which hands alternate with each other) in the upward direction to the chin.
3. Next, the lymph nodes are pumped: retrosternal, axillary, sub- and supraclavicular, occipital, temples.
4. The next stage is stroking with palms (front, back) and forearms.
5. Then - pinching and stroking along the cheekbones.
6. Next, the cheeks and the area around the lips are worked with the same movements.
7. More stroking.
8. The tightening begins with the help of points. At this stage, point pressure is applied along the line of the facial muscles. This leads to relaxation of muscle tissue, which is in constant tone and provokes the appearance of wrinkles. And those muscles that have lost elasticity become toned.
9. With palms bent into a fist, using pinching movements, the area of ​​the décolleté, shoulders and neck is worked out. At this stage, normalization and uniform distribution of hyaluronic acid occurs over all areas.
10. Next, the same pinches are made in the area of ​​the cheekbones and cheeks.
11. Afterwards, the points are “smoothed” with light stroking movements.
12. Circles are drawn around the eyes.
13. And finally, light stroking movements are repeated, as before the start of the session.

Handmade

Massage has been known since ancient times - it was used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
In the Middle Ages, when scientists became actively interested in human anatomy, its basic techniques for the face and body were described and then scientifically substantiated. Today, facial massage is a necessary part of cosmetic skin care. No device can reproduce the feeling of relaxation and calm that the skillful hands of a cosmetologist bring. That is why manual massage is one of the most effective and safe procedures for facial skin. And if you follow the principle of regularity, the lifting effect will be an excellent alternative to cosmetic injections.

— Facial massage today is more fashionable than high-tech serums and creams, —

Confirms Inna Plakhtienko.
“This is the most important step in daily care; it helps improve blood circulation, restore smoothness and healthy glow to the skin, and even solve some age-related problems: smooth out fine wrinkles, for example.
There are different types and schools of cosmetic massage. The choice is so diverse that it can be extremely difficult to settle on the right option. Each variety has its own characteristics, indications and contraindications. Therefore, depending on the skin type, the cosmetologist selects the type of massage and the necessary cosmetic product - an auxiliary tool that will increase the effectiveness of the procedure.

It is ideal if the massage technique and cosmetic product work in the same direction. For example, it is recommended to finish plastic facial massage for wrinkles and decreased skin turgor by applying an active anti-aging serum and a lifting mask on top of it.

Why it can’t be done at home

Under no circumstances should you do this procedure at home, especially on your own. Especially if you are only partially familiar with the proper technique of French chiroplastic facial massage, don't even start. As a result of your manipulations with your face, both the banal appearance of hematomas and inflammation and such a serious situation as tissue asymmetry can occur. It will subsequently be extremely difficult for a specialist to correct such a defect.

The most important thing is to first read reviews about it, and also ask about the availability of a certificate that would give it the right to provide. If his home cosmetology office is clean, his clients are happy and he has a training diploma, feel free to go to this master.
