Facial taping

A person’s eyes can say a lot; eye color and shape are inherited.
With the help of contact lenses you can change the color of your eyes, but not only the color, but also the shape can be transformed thanks to special innovative cosmetological methods.

One of all, over the last period of time, has begun to supplant all plastic surgery, because this method is considered the most effective and non-surgical anti-aging method.

What is this cosmetic procedure, what are its features and essence, why has it become so popular in our time here and abroad?

Taping: general information

The method was developed and first tested in 1973 by an American reflexologist of Japanese origin, Kenzo Kase. The methodology is based on data on bioactive points, as well as various technologies of relaxing and restorative massage, which helps maintain range of motion, avoid congestion and swelling of injured tissues.

Despite the fact that initially the technique was of a purely practical nature and was used exclusively for the functional restoration of damaged muscles, today it is actively used in cosmetology. Of course, in almost 50 years the technology itself has changed significantly, its scope of application, variability and effectiveness have expanded. However, as before, the essence of the procedure is to correctly fix certain areas of muscles and skin to change the contours of the face and body.

The term “taping” itself comes from the English word “tape”. Using patches with excellent fixing ability, different sizes and shapes, areas of “problem” skin on the face and body are fixed in the correct position for a certain period of time. The duration of one procedure can be from half an hour to five days. The fixation in this case is not rigid, due to the high elasticity of the material, the mobility of the facial muscles and their dynamics are preserved.

How then is a clear outline formed? First of all, due to muscle “memory”, stimulation of blood supply and lymphatic drainage, impact on bioactive points and correct tension of the tape.

The technique is quite effective not only for age-related and post-traumatic changes; a course of aesthetic facial taping significantly reduces the manifestation of the consequences of visceral, neurological and microcirculatory problems.

What are tapes

Popular facial taping - what is it? An innovative method or a time-tested and experience-tested way to maintain youth and health? To understand the essence of the impact of the procedure, it is worth learning more about what tapes are and what types they come in.

Tape refers to special dynamic cotton patches in the form of ribbons of various lengths, widths and shapes. In terms of elasticity, the material resembles human skin, and it is also highly breathable, eliminating the formation of irritation and diaper rash in the area of application. The patches are completely hypoallergenic, have a dense and durable structure, tolerate water well and do not hinder facial expressions at all. Due to their density, tapes can withstand tension of almost any force allowed for the procedure.

At the moment, the following types of tapes are used for aesthetic facial taping:

narrow, only 1 cm or wider (up to 2.5 cm) tape for contour correction;
lymphatic drainage tape 0.5-1.5 cm wide, improving lymph outflow;
cross-tape - a tape that is used as a stabilizing option, as well as when the effect of traditional taping is weak;
shaped tape for applying to areas with pronounced relief.

A synonym for the term “taping” is the concept of “kinesio taping”. In essence, these are the same thing; a certain difference can only be noticed in the choice of material: in the first case, the tape has less elasticity and greater fixing abilities. In the second, the patch is more elastic and has greater breathability.

Split language

If you are an advanced yogi involved in breathing practices, or are not involved in the body fashion movement, it is difficult to explain the bifurcation of the plate. They say that the “snake” tongue is an excellent tool in sexual practices, although it is known that if you do not master the skill, the means at hand are ineffective.

However, those who crave thrills often turn to medical services. The surgeon performs scalpeling and tying with thread. A bloodless laser cut is popular. There are no side effects if the recommendations are followed correctly. After a couple of months, the tongue is half fused. The cost of the procedure is low.

Facial taping: features of the procedure

Unlike more conventional, as well as more expensive and radical methods of facial rejuvenation, such as surgical lifting, injections or hardware therapy, taping can be used even in cases where other procedures are contraindicated. The method is truly gentle, not only in terms of its effects on the body, but also in terms of price.

Facial taping: what is this procedure, how effective is it and who needs it? Only specialists can answer these questions. Despite the fact that independent “home” taping is gaining popularity, it is unsafe to use tapes without the necessary skills and knowledge. The fact is that even the tension force and direction are important when applying the patch. Thus, tension from top to bottom ensures muscle tone, and from bottom to top - their relaxation. It is also important to know how to remove patches correctly, otherwise you may damage your skin. And, of course, it is difficult for a non-specialist to correctly determine the exposure time of the tape. But in our center, the procedure will take place with maximum comfort and the expected result.

The procedure involves several stages. The specialist performs a number of mandatory actions:

determines the location of bioactive zones, as well as the main massage lines;
selects ribbons of the desired size and shape;
thoroughly and carefully cleanses and moisturizes those areas of the face on which tapes will then be applied;
applies and fixes the patch, determining the strength and direction of tension;
determines the duration of the session and the duration of the course;
After the procedure is completed, remove the tape.

Eye reshaping

Changing the shape of your eyes is as easy as changing their color, but lenses are not enough. Canthoplasty corrects the angle of the palpebral fissure, which allows you to forget about the ethnic cut, small expressionless eyes or goggle-eyed eyes. Stay in the clinic is limited to a few hours. In the next 2 weeks you will have to deal with dryness and irritation of the mucous membrane. But what is temporary discomfort if after the rehabilitation period you can look at the world with wide eyes for just $1000.

Efficiency of application

In the complex of rehabilitation therapy, plasters allow you to fix the affected area, providing the tissues with maximum protection and rest for the entire period of rehabilitation. The soft and gentle effect of the tapes ensures stimulation of metabolic processes, lymph outflow, intense blood microcirculation in tissues and, as a result, rapid regeneration.

Since the main age-related problems of the skin and facial muscles are a decrease in their elasticity, noticeable deformation and changes in the color of the skin, taping is excellent for eliminating all these shortcomings. Thanks to the strengthening of regenerative processes, even one session can restore the oval, significantly rejuvenate the face and return the skin to a healthy shade. In this case, no traumatic manipulations are required.

The result of use is noticeable after the first session. This is why the procedure is so popular among clients who urgently need to transform themselves before an important event. For a long-lasting effect, the procedure should be carried out in a course and with a certain regularity.

The positive results of using the technique will be:

tightened facial skin without signs of sagging and fatigue;
reduction in the number of wrinkles;
elimination of stretch marks and double chin;
stimulation of regenerative processes and skin rejuvenation;
effective facial contouring;
improving blood and lymph circulation;
acceleration of metabolic processes;
reduction of swelling.

Innovative ingredients

The composition includes 6 active ingredients that affect collagen and elastin. However, the quality and strength of each is different. Each element works on its own level. The synergy of these components allows you to truly activate the work of skin cells and tissues.

The task of the active ingredients of Ovalift (Ovalift) is to restore collagen synthesis, structure tropocollagen, and ensure the consolidation of collagen fibrils.

Key ingredients of Ovalift (Ovalift):

Collagen – Collagen CLR tm (Collagen Type 1) contained in the formula restores the structural collagen of the skin that we lose as we age. It also promotes the correct structuring of existing triple helix collagen fibers.
Idealift - Idealift tm - affects the synthesis of elastic tissue elements and promotes their fusion.
Collagener - Collagener ® - works as an agent that restores the production of collagen lost over time and controls existing reserves.
Majestem tm – Majestem tm is an antioxidant that protects the collagen reproduction system.
Tightenyl tm is a precursor of some of the main elements of the extracellular matrix, polysaccharides and proteoglycans, which contribute to skin elasticity. This component is able to restore elastic fibers, homogenizing the diameter of collagen and improving its organization.
Actifol tm – Actifol tm is a precursor of primary synthesis, prevents the destruction of collagen as such, and also preserves its correct structure and organization.

Indications and contraindications

Despite the careful effects and procedures, it has its own list of indications and contraindications. The method is effective for:

facial asymmetry;
severe swelling;
age and facial wrinkles of any depth;
ptosis (drooping of skin folds);
“blurred”, unclear contours of the face;
pronounced nasolabial folds and tear grooves.

The list of contraindications for facial taping includes the following diseases and conditions:

oncological diseases of any localization;
predisposition to thrombosis;
violation of the integrity of the skin;
the presence of foci of inflammation on the skin in the area of intended exposure;
diseases of the cardiovascular system;
pregnancy at any stage;
presence of hematomas;
frequent and prolonged migraine pain of any etiology;
allergic reaction to any of the components of the material;
exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases;
facial nerve paralysis.

Extreme way to lose weight

A patch made of medical plastic, from which meshes for hernias are made, will help you gain weight. The flap is tightly fixed in 7 places to soft tissues for a period of 30 days. It cuts into the tissue and paralyzes the movements of the tongue. The process of eating food becomes torture. The diet contains only liquid food. It takes 13 kg in a month. A slim waist will cost $1,600.

Age restrictions for the procedure

There are no special age restrictions when carrying out the taping procedure. However, it is worth remembering that the main effect of the method is associated with the correction, first of all, of age-related changes, so performing the procedure for aesthetic purposes for patients under 25-28 years of age is inappropriate. The exception is cases when correction is required as a result of neurological disorders and for other medical reasons.

There is also no upper age limit for facial taping. The decision on the necessity and effectiveness of its implementation is made by the doctor based on the results of the examination. It is important to know that with significant signs of skin aging and a significant loss of elasticity, the effect of the procedure may be different from what was expected.

Artificial terrain

To get an athletic torso, you don't have to work hard in the gym. Silicone implants under the deltoids and calf muscles give them volume. Using identical technology, biceps and triceps are enlarged. A couple of months after surgery, you are allowed to return to an active lifestyle. Apart from the aesthetic effect, the procedure does not bring any benefit. Bodybuilders claim that artificial forms are visually different from natural ones. Self-admiration will cost from $7,000 to $14,000.

Types of facial taping

There are several options for facial taping. They differ not only in the techniques of applying tapes, but also in the end result:

Corrective taping is used for lifting and contouring the face, eliminating asymmetry of any severity, as well as reducing the manifestations of ptosis.
Lymphatic drainage taping helps get rid of puffiness, significantly reduces nasolabial folds, and also helps to form a clear oval face.
Art taping is a combination of preventive, therapeutic and aesthetic functions directly during the procedure. It involves applying tapes according to a specific pattern.

Before deciding on aesthetic facial taping, you need to consult with a specialist and learn in detail about what it is. You can receive comprehensive consultation from specialists during your initial appointment.

Feet under heels

If removal of the lateral bone near the big toe is justified, only the desperate can decide to correct the length of the foot. During the half-hour operation, the surgeon cuts off the excess bone without touching the horny plate and removes the middle parts of the fingers. Until the bones heal, the patient wears orthopedic boots ($20,000).

In order to constantly wear heels and not experience pain, injections with hyaluronic acid are injected into the feet. Soft cushions on the foot ensure comfortable wearing of uncomfortable shoes for up to six months. The price of the injection is from $500.
