With age, small wrinkles appear on the face, the oval of the face changes, and the skin loses its firmness and elasticity. Vacuum facial massage is a cosmetic procedure aimed at preserving the youth and beauty of the skin.
Vacuum massage is one of the types of hardware massage. Its action is based on sequential alternation of air pressure: a special device reduces and increases pressure using an air compressor.
Facial massage is performed strictly along massage lines
Effect of vacuum facial massage
Blood flow in capillaries decreases with age. This leads to changes in skin color, decreased turgor and the appearance of wrinkles. The effect of vacuum massage is aimed at improving blood circulation, which leads to better skin nutrition, saturation of the skin with oxygen and increased elasticity.
Result:
- elimination of wrinkles, small scars and acne;
- normalization of skin-fat balance;
- appearance of skin elasticity;
- correction of facial oval;
- elimination of flabbiness;
- elimination of swelling;
- facial skin is smoother and tighter.
This procedure must be carried out strictly along massage lines to avoid stretching the skin. A vacuum is created using a special device (vacuum jar or bowl), which is tightly suctioned to the skin. It has a positive effect on the circulatory and lymphatic system.
- The vacuum stimulates the flow of blood, lymph, and nutrients. This leads to the production of collagen, elastin and other substances necessary for the skin.
- Before the procedure, be sure to cleanse the facial skin with a special tonic to remove all impurities, cosmetics and excess production of the sebaceous glands.
- After the skin has been thoroughly cleansed, cream or massage oil is applied to it. With their help, the massage jar will move well and easily over the skin.
- Having prepared the face for massage, the cups are placed on certain areas of the neck, and the massage begins along massage lines from the neck to the face.
As a rule, this procedure is carried out within 5-10 minutes. The effect of vacuum facial massage is comparable to the lifting effect. During the massage, the patient does not experience any discomfort. After the session, the patient is asked to rest a little so that the facial skin begins to recover.
Skin becomes smooth, elastic and silky
Execution technique
The vacuum massage procedure can be performed in beauty salons and at home. Before performing it at home, you need to familiarize yourself with the techniques of classical massage and the effect of vacuum massage on the skin, because the wrong technique can leave bruises and bruises on the skin.
Facial massage with a vacuum can is performed in two ways:
- static;
- kinetic.
During the static method, the bank is placed on the required point (in the direction of lymph flow), the skin is tightened and stretched. Then the jar is placed on the next zone. The intensity is weak, you don’t need to tighten the skin too much.
During the kinetic method, the can is placed on the skin and moved across the face. Movements are performed in the direction of lymph flow.
- The massage begins from the neck area. The movement of the can should be directed from bottom to top, starting from the collarbone.
- Then we move on to the next area - the chin. We move from the center of the chin to the earlobes.
- Smoothly move to the central part of the face. We move along the sides of the face and up, eliminating lymph stagnation.
- The last area to be worked on is the forehead area. We move from the center of the forehead to the temples. Then from the eyebrows to the hairline.
If this is your first time performing a vacuum massage, try it out by massaging your abdomen first. Massage in this area is much easier and safer. It is also recommended to familiarize yourself with the technique of performing classic facial massage.
