Cupping facial massage nasolabial folds

Facial massage with vacuum cups has proven itself in the fight against age-related changes. Rejuvenates the skin, smoothes wrinkles, eliminates some facial defects. At the place where the jar is placed, the regeneration of skin cells improves, the activity of the circulatory and lymphatic systems increases. With its help you can remove circles under the eyes and get rid of puffiness of the skin.

. The facial muscles become toned, and against the background of visible positive changes, internal restructuring of the body occurs. With accelerated blood flow, the metabolic processes of the skin are normalized, subcutaneous fat is produced normally, and toxins are eliminated faster. The top layer of skin is restored, pigment spots disappear

Vacuum facial massage with cups: basics

Before the start of the health complex Let's take a look at the contraindications:

1. Violation of the integrity of the skin (wounds, cuts).
2. Inflammatory processes occurring in the body in the acute stage.
3. Inflammatory processes on the skin of the face, so that the creation of a vacuum does not contribute to the penetration of infection into the deeper layers of the skin.
4. Inflammation of the facial nerve.
5. Tendency to form blood clots or the presence of blood clots.
6. Third degree hypertension or hypotension.
7. Poor blood clotting.
8. Somatic diseases are colds, poisoning.
9. Inflammatory processes of the facial nerve.
10. Fatigue, bad mood. It is advisable to carry out all procedures whose goal is the beauty of our body in a good mood.

This procedure requires a careful and careful approach. The vacuum jar should be removed easily, without any effort, tearing it away from the face. Properly conducted sessions give good results.

Jars for vacuum facial massage can be purchased in pharmacies and online stores. The right choice is the main component of a good result. The very first thing you should pay attention to is this is the material from which they are made. Glass ones with a rubber bulb, which creates a vacuum, or silicone ones work well.

Pharmacies sell sets of silicone jars with a diameter of 1 cm to 5 cm. If it is possible to buy not a set, but individually, then this is an ideal option for saving money. To conduct the session, you will need jars with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm; we use them around the eyes, nose area, and near the lips. Jars with a diameter of 2-3 cm provide dynamic massage in the area of ​​the cheeks, forehead, and chin. Large diameter - 3-5 cm - suitable for static massage of the neck and décolleté area. Cans of this size can be successfully replaced with medium-sized cans.

Types of vacuum facial massage

STATIC - duration is 3 - 5 seconds. We are very careful, especially during the first sessions. Areas of application: cheeks, forehead, chin.

DYNAMIC — move the installed jar with light, sliding movements along the massage lines.

When using cans of different diameters, a good result is achieved in combination.

A vacuum is created inside the placed jar, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to remove it without any effort! You need to squeeze the rubber bulb harder and remove the can.

Before starting the procedure, you need to disinfect the vacuum jars with alcohol or vodka, and after finishing, rinse them well under running water. If you do not adhere to this recommendation, then the accumulated dirt inside the jar will negatively affect the skin, and the procedure will only cause harm.

The next step is to prepare the face. You can’t steam your face, just take a shower. You can use a decoction of chamomile, string or calendula. Then generously lubricate your face with any cosmetic or even vegetable oil. It should be light and not clog the pores of the face. The applied oil will allow the jar to glide over the surface of your skin, avoiding stretch marks and injury.

. It is important to remember that after the procedure, all the oil from the face must be removed, since its remnants clog the pores, and some types of oils dry the skin after such exposure. At the end of the vacuum treatment, you must thoroughly rinse off any remaining oil and apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream that suits your skin.

Initially, the duration of the sessions is 3-5 minutes, after getting used to it we increase the duration to 10-15 minutes. At the first stage, the addiction stage, 1-2 times a week is enough. Subsequently, we increase the frequency of sessions to 3-4 times a week. When choosing the duration and frequency of sessions, you must adhere to the main rule - do no harm. Over time, experience and understanding of the most comfortable choice of duration and frequency of sessions will come.

Static facial massage

Acupressure or static massage used for problem areas of the face, the double chin is removed, work is done on nasolabial folds and eyebrow wrinkles, jars with a diameter of 4-5 cm are required. Initially, the exposure time will be 3-5 seconds, with a subsequent increase to 30 seconds, but no more . At the initial stage, the pressure in the jar should be minimal, that is, the skin is pulled into the jar by a few millimeters. During the fifth session and subsequent ones, the tension increases. This concludes the first session, the second is held 7 days later.

The second stage is a dynamic facial massage with vacuum cans at home. Its technique consists of the following stages:

1. Preparing cups and face for the procedure.
2. Place the cups on the face, creating minimal tension (the skin is pulled into the middle of the jar by a few millimeters). To obtain a weak vacuum, a silicone jar or rubber bulb is slightly compressed and applied to the face.
3. Light, sliding movements should be used to move across the skin of the face. It is important that folds are not created and the skin is not stretched. To do this, hold adjacent areas of skin with your hand.
4. The jars are removed in the same way as with the static method, slightly loosening the vacuum.

Dynamic massage of all areas of the face

It takes a lot of time to carry out a static test, so it is usually used at home. dynamic or combined.

With a larger diameter, deeper tissue layers are exposed. At the very beginning, you need to relax the muscles of the cheeks, cheekbones, chin, and forehead. All movements are performed from bottom to top.

For the next stage, you will need small diameter jars that act on the upper layers of the skin. Small wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and crow's feet are treated.

1. Massage of the neck and chin area. Get rid of a double chin and sagging skin. This part contains the lymph nodes, larynx, trachea and tonsils. You have to be very careful here. Jars with a diameter of 2-3 cm are used, applying not very strong pressure. Without stretching the skin, the jar is moved with a sliding movement from the neck (left, right, middle) to the chin. Having carefully unfastened the jar, you need to repeat such manipulations 2 times.
2. Cheek massage with a sliding movement it is carried out from the line of the nose to the temple. Then from the temple line to the ear. Do not expose thin skin around the eyes, nasolabial folds and skin around the lips. Each line is drawn separately 2 times.

The movements are repeated 3-5 times.
4. Chin massage. The jar is carried out in a circular motion. When massaging this area, you need to be as relaxed as possible, because the goal is to relieve spasm from the facial muscles.

The eyebrow line must be treated carefully, avoiding the delicate skin of the eyelids. Each massage line must be carried out 3 - 5 times.
7. Massage of nasolabial folds. This type is performed with a small jar. The skin is held on both sides of the nasolabial fold with your fingers. A vacuum jar of minimal diameter is placed at the beginning of the nasolabial fold, and massaged from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth along the entire fold. Manipulations are carried out alternately on the right side of the face, and then on the left. Using small circular movements, the nasolabial fold is massaged in both directions: down and up 2 times.
8. Massage around the lips. The area around the lips is worked along massage lines in both directions. You need to start with a static massage in the middle of the lips, and then a dynamic type of vacuum massage is carried out from the middle of the lips to the corners, with light sliding movements.
9. Crow's feet massage. You will need the smallest jar for facial massage. Using small circular movements, massage the area of ​​the crow's feet around the eyes. It is necessary to move along the massage lines, along the bone, without touching the orbital area. Such actions are repeated 2 times on each side.
10. Massage around the eyes. The smallest vacuum cans are used to treat the area of ​​the upper and lower eyelids. To avoid stretch marks on the thin skin of this area of ​​the face, massage is carried out very carefully. Movements must be careful. You should start by massaging the upper eyelid, moving from the bridge of the nose to the outer edge of the eye. Massage the lower eyelid - from the outer edge to the inner.

Cosmetic jars can be made of either glass or silicone. Pharmacies sell specialized kits, which include jars of different sizes. They are equipped with a small valve or pump that allows the skin to be drawn in. There is a specific jar for each area of ​​the face.
The smallest is approximately 1 cm in diameter. It is needed for massage in the eye area, chin, to get rid of fine wrinkles and nasolabial folds. Affects the upper layers of the epidermis.

2. Skin cleansing. Wash your face with foam or other facial cosmetics.

Jars must be sterile. Before the session, they should be wiped with alcohol or another disinfectant. Do similar actions after the end of the session.

Technique

The massage is carried out strictly along massage lines. The movement occurs from the center to the periphery.

Cheeks — the middle bank is drawn from the nose to the temporal lobe, then from the smile line to the ear. Having reached the end of one line, the can is removed and moved to the beginning. Each line must be walked 4 times;

Chin — the procedure is performed in a circular motion. The muscles should be relaxed. Repeat 4 times;

Double chin - walk strictly along the massage lines with the middle jar 4 times;

Forehead — with a medium jar the forehead is massaged, starting from the central part, then from the bridge of the nose up and to the hairline. Then, following the massage lines from the center to the sides to the temples. Repeat 4 times;

Perform vertical movements up, then down. The forehead is pre-wrinkled;
With one hand they fix the skin of the forehead, with the other they hold a jar with a diameter of 33 mm from the center to the temple area, alternately to the right and left. Then they replace the jar with a smaller one and, using straight-line movements, complement the spiral ones, working on each wrinkle separately;

The center of the forehead (transverse, coronal bone suture) is massaged longer, since with poor blood circulation and contraction of the forehead muscles in this area, vertical wrinkles form due to persistent spasm when the forehead wrinkles. You can move the jar with arbitrary movements;

A jar with a diameter of 22 mm is moved along the eyebrow arches and the bridge of the nose. It is shifted slightly upward from the bridge of the nose, up diagonally to the line of the center of the right eyebrow, then in the other direction - to the line of the center of the left eyebrow. The skin is not stretched, which is achieved by fixing the skin on the opposite side with your free hand.
The corners of the eyes are massaged in semicircles, stretching the skin with the fingers of one hand.

To eliminate tissue ptosis, jars with a diameter of 33 mm are placed on the cheekbones. Direct movements along the muscles of the cheekbones from the corners of the lips towards the temples. Record the pressure at the point of protrusion of the cheek bone, and at the end of the movement for 1-2 seconds. The lips are held with the free hand using the palmar surface of the finger joints. The same is repeated when smiling on the lips.

To work the masticatory muscles, you first need to open your mouth and make downward movements, grasping the skin above the lower eyelid. The jar is passed along the cheek to the angle of the lower jaw, then towards the chin. Where the jaws meet, you need to fix the jar for 1-2 seconds, then massage up and down. All these manipulations are repeated with the mouth closed.

To prevent sagging of the tissues of the lower jaw, it is necessary to fix the tissues of the chin, and the jar is moved with the other hand along the arch of the jaw from below towards the ear tragus. The massage is carried out on both sides alternately.

Next, the opposite zone is worked on: along the lower arch to the chin from the jaw joint. To get rid of fat deposits and wrinkles under the chin, perform short circular movements.

In the corners of the mouth and above the upper lip, vertical wrinkles are eliminated by massaging the round muscle. To do this, the muscle is tensed, opening the mouth. Movement is recorded in the wrinkle area for 1-2 seconds. Improves lymphatic drainage in the nasolabial fold area. To do this, smooth and slow movements are carried out along the nose from the corner of the eye, continuing along the nasolabial fold to the submandibular lymph nodes, moving to the neck.

Starting from the wings of the nose, from the corners of the lips along the cheeks, cups are applied along massage lines, fixing at the center of the ear.

1. Nasolabial folds - Gently hold the skin at the nasolabial fold with your fingers. Use a small jar to move up and then down along the fold in small circular movements. Repeat 2 times.
2. Lips - slide along the massage lines in both directions, holding the skin of the corner of your lips with your finger. Repeat 2 times;
3. Crow's feet - also use a small jar to massage the area of ​​wrinkles in a circular motion. Hold the skin with clubs. Repeat 2 times;
4. Around eyes - since this is a very delicate part of the face, massage should be done carefully, holding the skin with your fingers, without creating pronounced negative pressure in the jar (do not suction the jar too much to the skin and lift the skin!) Upper eyelid: the bridge of the nose - the outer edge of the eye. Lower eyelid: outer edge of the eye - inner. Repeat 5 times.

If during the session there is severe pain or redness of the skin, which does not go away for a long time, the massage should be stopped.

How often can I do it?
