Plastic massage of face and body. What is it, technique, training, reviews and video tutorials

Facelift surgery is performed primarily on patients over 45 years of age. It allows you to eliminate age-related changes in the skin, model the oval of the face, and get rid of wrinkles. If there are excess fat deposits in the neck and chin, liposuction of these areas is performed simultaneously with a facelift. As a result of the correction, the patient looks 10-15 years younger. With proper regular skin care, the effect lasts for a long time.

Correct patient behavior in the postoperative period is extremely important to consolidate the results of surgical intervention. Immediately after the facelift is completed, the doctor will apply a special compression bandage in the operating room. For the first two days, you must stay in the clinic under the supervision of medical staff.

The appearance of swelling, hematomas of the face and eyelids, a slight increase in temperature, and pain will accompany the patient in the first 5-7 days after plastic surgery. During this period, a gentle regimen, psycho-emotional rest, and taking medications recommended by a doctor to reduce inflammation are important.

Features of plastic massage of face and body

Plastic facial massage trains muscles, which, as a rule, are capable of regeneration and independent rejuvenation. The plastic massage technique helps to train them correctly and with the required intensity.

The essence of the massage is that those muscles that are tense relax, and those that are weakened, on the contrary, become toned. The result is a tightened facial contour and a reduction in the number of wrinkles.

In addition, this massage improves blood circulation. The incoming arterial blood, together with the skin cells, receives a large amount of oxygen and nutrients.

The aging process slows down, the complexion becomes healthier and more natural, metabolism is normalized, age spots and acne disappear. And facial lifting, which is achieved thanks to the outflow of venous blood, eliminates swelling in the skin.

In addition, such a massage helps relieve tension and fights stress perfectly - it affects the cells of the nervous system. During the massage, happiness hormones (endorphins) are produced, which improves sleep, as well as elevates mood and promotes well-being.

The skin of the face has many biological points responsible for the health of the body as a whole. During the massage, all these points are well worked out, and as a result, not only external, but also internal rejuvenation occurs.

It is better for those girls who are over 25 years old to go for such a massage. Since it is at this age that the first signs of aging begin to appear on the skin.

It can be performed on girls and younger, but only if there are appropriate indications. Girls aged 30+ should include this massage in their regular skin care. The muscles of women of this age become flabby and weakened, and the skin needs additional care.

Why is it needed?

Every person needs a sculptural massage - not only women, but also men. We all want to stay young and fresh for as long as possible. But the frantic pace of life, bad habits, lack of sleep, constant stress and many other negative factors decided otherwise.

Without extra help, your skin can quickly turn into a shriveled raisin. Naturally, you don't want this. So it's time to take care of your beauty.

Don't put off the procedure for too long. If you are reading this article, then the time has already come. The sooner you take care of yourself, the more effective the result will be. It's better to prevent a problem than to deal with it later.

Sculptural massage is, of course, one of the main procedures. But for it to be most effective, it must be used in conjunction with other techniques. You can learn about them at the basic marathon “SmeloNET”. This includes working on posture (on which the beauty of the face and the whole body also depends), and cleansing the entire body, and working with your thinking. At the end of the marathon, you will not recognize the happy, beautiful and healthy woman who will look at you from the mirror.

Areas being worked on

During this massage, all zones and massage lines are worked out:

• the area between the chin and earlobes;
• the area between the corners of the lips and ear tragus;
• the area between the wings of the nose and the temples;
• bridge of the nose;
• the area between the brow ridges and temples;
• forehead and temple area;
• area from temples to cheekbones;
• cheek area;
• from cheekbones to collarbones.

Massage is carried out exclusively on clean skin, always consistently. It begins, as a rule, with stroking the forehead, and then the specialist, going down, works on the entire face.

How to do a manual lifting massage at home

Before you begin learning and mastering self-massage techniques, familiarize yourself with the location of the massage lines. If you make chaotic movements, you will not only not achieve any effect, but also harm your skin.

Stages of manipulation:

• start the massage from the nasolabial fold in the direction of the earlobes;
• use your fingertips to gently move along the center of the chin, and then move in both directions to the earlobes, then to the tragus;
• from the bridge of the nose, walk from the eyebrow line to the temples;
• from the wings of the nose, spread massaging movements to the temples and back of the nose;
• From the center of the forehead, move again to the temples.

If you want to work on your lips, then run your fingers from the top of the lip skin to the temple areas. Then from the lower lip go to the ear tragus.

Remember! No pressing movements or strong pinching should be done - this will provoke the appearance of bruises or hematomas on the face.

Indications for use

• the first signs of aging;
• problematic skin;
• unhealthy skin color;
• unclear facial contour;
• swelling;

• presence of a double chin;
• loose skin;
• drooping corners of the lips;
• dark spots.

The face is massaged in several courses. Basically, 8-12 sessions of plastic exercises are prescribed, although changes can be noticed after just a couple of procedures. One massage session takes on average 40 minutes. The number of sessions may vary for each person.

The specialist prescribes procedures based on age and skin structure. The older a person is, the more sessions he will have to undergo, since with age the skin wears out and ages.

Contraindications

• age up to 25 years;
• the presence of pimples, blackheads, comedones and other inflammations on the skin;

• presence of large moles;

Before carrying out the procedure, it is necessary to undergo a high-quality examination by a doctor to identify relevant contraindications. After the examination, if everything is in order with your health, you can go for such a massage. Otherwise, it will only cause harm and aggravate existing diseases.

Plastic facial massage is effective for both a 25-year-old girl and a more mature person.

How a hardware lifting massage is done by a cosmetologist

In almost all beauty salons, the procedure is carried out according to almost the same principle. At the very beginning, the master prepares the client’s skin for subsequent treatment. And then the following sequence of actions is performed:

• the skin is lubricated with a special conductor gel;
• using maniples, a facial massage is carried out, while the specialist can change the intensity of the treatment and the attachments used several times during the procedure - at his own discretion;
• The duration of the procedure is determined individually and can range from 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Professional lifting massage using hardware techniques works instantly. After the session, the skin becomes fresher and softer, swelling disappears, and a healthy glow appears.

Technique for performing plastic facial massage

The technique of performing such a massage is based on pressing, pressing, stroking, intense movements, pinching, vibration, which are performed in strict sequence at certain points.

There are several stages of massage:

• stroking;
• superficial kneading;
• deep kneading;
• effleurage;
• vibration.

After the procedure, the surface of the epidermis is treated with a tonic, after which the face is lubricated with a cream with a lifting effect in order to consolidate the procedure.

Preparing for the session

Preparation for a classical modeling massage session involves the following steps:

1. Select light, relaxing music and completely disengage from the environment - it is better to close the door, put the phone on silent mode and put the animals in another room.
2. The hair is tied in a loose ponytail so that it does not interfere during execution.
3. Remove makeup using a special remover, and also cleanse your face with peeling products.
4. After such simple manipulations, be sure to apply massage oil (for dry skin) or massage cream (for oily dermis) to the skin of the face and neck. This is done in order to better glide the fingers and nourish the epidermis with useful components.
5. Choose a comfortable position for yourself - it is best to lie down on the sofa.

Types of massage techniques: classic technique

The classic plastic surgery technique involves working out massage lines by stroking, kneading, tapping, and vibration. The master affects the deep layers of the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, and even the bone structures of the face.

The lifting effect is obtained both due to special biological proteins of youth, and due to massaging the face and influencing fatty tissue. The classical technique involves getting rid of excess fat deposits (cheeks, chin), modeling the oval of the face.

Unlike chiroplastic, plasticizing and similar rejuvenating massages, classical massage is distinguished by softer, gentle movements and pressure.

This type of massage helps to cope with fine wrinkles and restore skin tone and elasticity.

Thanks to the effect on the skin, blood circulation improves, the complexion becomes healthier, and thanks to massaging movements along the contour of the lips, they become plump.

The classical technique can be an excellent alternative to mechanical cleaning sessions, which are contraindicated for many, since various oils, peelings, etc. are used during the massage process. As a result, the pores are freed and the face becomes clean.

Before the massage, the specialist treats the face with an alcohol solution. The master's hands are also disinfected with alcohol to prevent slipping. After the procedure, the specialist consolidates the effect with a tonic, possibly a herbal decoction, and uses a cream. Lifting masks have a good fixing effect after plastic massage.

Despite the fact that after the procedure a therapeutic effect is noticeable, plastic massage is not classified as a medical procedure. The classic type of plastic massage, in addition to all its rejuvenating properties, will help get rid of scars. In addition, a massage course is prescribed for severe stress or physical activity.

Plasticizing massage

The difference between a plasticizing massage and a classic one is that a classic massage is performed entirely on dry skin, while a plasticizing massage is performed using oils, serums, and creams. Unlike the classical technique, plasticizing massage can be carried out in just 1 session, or maybe 15.

They are prescribed to undergo from 1 to 4 such sessions per week. After that, as a preventative measure, a couple more times a month.

The effect of this massage lasts up to 10-12 weeks.

This massage has more contraindications than the classic one. In addition to the above contraindications, pregnant women and those who may be allergic to cosmetics used during the procedure should not undergo it.

The basis of plasticizing massage is vibration, tingling and impact on biological points, activation of metabolic processes.

Plasticizing massage activates blood circulation, adjusts the functioning of the sebaceous glands, normalizes lymph flow in tissues, and breaks down subcutaneous fat.

The result can be seen after 1-2 sessions. But you shouldn’t stop there, you should undergo a full course of massage prescribed by a cosmetologist. Since the effect of 1-2 sessions will not last long, consolidation is necessary.

Indications:

• loose skin, wrinkles;
• pronounced subcutaneous fat;
• swelling on the face;
• tense muscles.

How many procedures need to be done and how often

The number of procedures is selected individually, based on the indications. In some cases, only 2-3 sessions are enough. For more advanced conditions, you will have to take one or more courses. For complete changes and elimination of existing defects, it is recommended to undergo 7-10 sessions.

In this case, the number of procedures per week should not be more than 1-2. You are allowed to take no more than 1-2 massage courses per year.

Chiroplastic massage

Plastic facial massage, the main purpose of which is to awaken receptors on the surface of the skin, is called chiroplastic. The cost of such a procedure ranges on average from 1000 rubles, depending on the choice of specialist; more experienced and professional ones can charge more.

One massage course includes from 10 to 20 sessions, taking into account the condition of the patient’s skin surface and his age.

Chiroplastic massage is a complete cosmetic procedure. It is carried out using oils, nutrients and other cosmetics. After the procedure, the skin is cleansed with tonic or lotion. This type of massage has virtually no contraindications.

The only case when chiroplastic massage is prohibited is the presence of skin rashes that have become inflammatory.

Reviews from patients after the first chiroplastic massage procedure
Before	After
The surface of the skin is dry, peeling in some places	The surface of the skin becomes softer and more pleasant to the touch
Presence of shallow wrinkles	Wrinkles become almost invisible
Swelling around the eyes	Swelling decreases
Skin color slightly grayish	The skin becomes healthy, pinkish in color
There are bags under the eyes	Bags under the eyes disappear

Chiroplastic massage is also reflected in therapy. With its help, you can cure scoliosis and osteochondrosis. In addition, this massage helps athletes recover from injuries. Chiroplastic massage makes the ligaments elastic, helps overcome pain and relieve tension.

Number and cost of session

The number of sessions in one course varies from 8 to 13. The number of required procedures is determined by cosmetologists depending on the client’s problems. Of course, if he has a double chin, jowls, sagging cheeks and many wrinkles have formed near the eyes, the maximum number of sessions should be performed. After two days, you can go to an appointment with a cosmetologist for another dose of a relaxing corrective massage.

It is recommended to conduct at least 2 courses per year.

Modeling massage has proven itself positively. The cosmetic procedure allows you to get rid of all signs of aging.

This type of massage can be performed both in the massage therapist’s chair and at home. The cost of services in the salon is affected by:

• cosmetics used before and after the session;
• professionalism of the master;
• execution technique;
• prestige of the institution.

On average, prices for one massage session vary between 1000–3000 rubles.

Myoplastic technique

Myoplastic facial massage helps to cope with wrinkles and sagging skin that occurs as a result of aging (elastin and collagen levels decrease). In addition, myoplastic massage regulates blood supply, outflow through vessels, and eliminates spasms.

With the help of this massage, you can even achieve correct alignment of the cheekbones and lower jaw if their location has changed with age.

Most of the girls who underwent the procedure noted that the myoplastic technique is the most effective among other types of plastic massage, and cannot even be compared with medications. Unlike chiroplastic and plasticizing massage, the effect of the myoplastic technique lasts for a longer period.

Pros and cons of myoplastic massage

Positive sides	Negative sides
Makes the facial contour symmetrical, close to ideal.	It is impossible to do it at home correctly. A professional approach is needed here.
Lips become plumper and firmer, and the lip contour becomes more pronounced.	The cost of one procedure is not comfortable for all segments of the population (from 800 rubles and above).
The complexion acquires a healthy shade, acne and pimples disappear, pigment spots become less noticeable (and weak spots disappear completely).
The technique removes small wrinkles (large ones shrink and become less noticeable) and prevents the appearance of new ones.
Dark circles under the eyes and other problems are also eliminated.
The skin becomes soft, bright and toned. Its elasticity and tone improves.
By stimulating biological points, vital energy, mood and overall well-being increase.

The essence of the myoplastic technique, like any massage, is to work out all facial tissues and muscles. The master, working the upper layer of skin with gentle but intense movements, at the same time activates biological points.
And this, as we know, affects human health and well-being. Indications:

• wrinkles, sagging skin;
• muscles are not toned;
• acne, problem skin;
• unhealthy skin color.

Contraindications:

• skin wounds;
• large moles;
• ulcers;
• herpes, rosacea;
• kidney and heart diseases.

There are several levels of myoplastic massage:

• Intraosseous. Massage at the intraosseous level involves the restoration of cartilage and joints after injuries and bruises of the skull. In addition, intraosseous massage affects a person’s energy and mood.
• Neural. During such a massage, the vagus nerves are worked out, which affect the tone of a person’s muscles and his condition. After the massage is carried out at the neural level, the rejuvenation effect continues (i.e. the sessions have already stopped, but the skin is still becoming cleaner, softer, more pleasant and younger).
• Vascular. The main purpose of this massage is to influence the blood vessels of the brain by working out biological points. Blood circulation after such a massage becomes better not only in the tissues of the face, but also in the human brain. This means that the likelihood of depression, stress and other troubles after a session of such a massage is reduced to zero within a few weeks.
• Lymphatic. When massaged at the lymphatic level, the lymph becomes cleaner, which means the tissues become more saturated. Thus, facial skin tissues receive more nutrients.

• Energy. Thanks to special meridians passing through the skin, energy increases, mood improves, a person becomes more efficient and energetic, and healing occurs at the biological level. Myoplastic massage at the energy level helps soften the skin, it becomes more elastic, wrinkles are reduced. Energetic myoplastic massage eliminates tension and shapes the oval of the face.

Results of the procedure

Myofascial facial massage (patient reviews report rapid achievement of visible results) when carried out correctly leads to noticeable results immediately after the first session. However, for a more lasting and pronounced effect, you need to complete the whole course.

Systematic massage will achieve the following results:

• elimination of pain and muscle tension;
• restoration of psycho-emotional state;
• increased muscle tone and skin turgor;
• improvement of facial color and texture;
• elimination of headaches, migraines;
• smoothing wrinkles;
• relieving swelling and other stagnant processes;
• disappearance of dark circles under the eyes;
• correction of asymmetry, sagging, sagging.

The effectiveness of the technique depends on the condition (neglect) of the skin, age and other individual physiological characteristics of the patient. The more significant the changes, the more procedures will be needed.

Facial skin care after the procedure

You can prolong the effect of plastic massage if you properly care for your skin. There is a false belief that you don’t need to do anything to your skin after undergoing procedures. Basically, proper skin care consists of 3 points:

1. Cleansing. It is necessary to cleanse the skin with water 2-3 times a day. It is better not to do this more often, as it can dry out the skin. Every time you cleanse your skin, it is important to massage it lightly. This will improve blood circulation and nutrition of the epidermis. Once a week you should include peeling procedures in your traditional skin care. It is better to do this when the face is well steamed.
2. Toning. You can choose a toner for treating your skin in a store, or you can prepare it yourself. For example, adding a few drops of lemon juice to 200 ml of green tea. Or squeeze the juice from half a cucumber in 200 ml of water. The effect is no worse than from store-bought products. Ice cubes based on herbs also tone the skin well. Chamomile tea is brewed (you can also use a decoction of calendula), then it is cooled and frozen in a special form. You can use these ice cubes in the morning, immediately after waking up. This helps reduce facial swelling after sleep.
3. Nutrition. There are a huge number of nourishing creams and masks. It is better to choose those that suit your skin type and have a lifting effect. This will once again tighten the skin and visibly rejuvenate it. Instructions are included with each cream. If there is none, then you need to apply the cream 2 times a day, morning and evening, to cleansed skin. To make the cream more nutritious, you can add an aevit capsule to it.

Recently, plastic facial massage has completely pushed traditional plastic surgery into the background. Since the consequences after a massage are more satisfactory than after plastic surgery several years later. At least plastic massages have no side effects, but only bring benefits to both health and beauty.

The right choice of funds

The choice of products for the process described in this article depends on your skin type. So, for oily types it is better to use drugs with an antiseptic and drying effect. Here, in most cases, emulsions or talc should be used.

Choose moisturizing and nourishing creams for dry skin. They saturate the skin with beneficial microelements, thanks to which you will get rid of such a common cause as dry face. For normal or combination type, almost all formulations intended for the face are suitable. Also, when choosing cosmetic products, you can ask for advice from a cosmetologist who will accurately determine the right product.
