Not all women trust anti-aging cosmetics. But there are those who choose not only the cosmetological path to rejuvenation, but also facial massage against wrinkles. Techniques for this have been developed enough to choose the right one and make facial massage your habit. Self-massage at home or in a beauty salon - it doesn’t matter. Don't believe in efficiency? Try it!
How to do a facial massage correctly?
In every cosmetic procedure you can find many nuances to carry out. This also applies to massage. For it to bring the expected effect, it must be done correctly.
Face massage
Hands
The most important rule when massaging with your hands is the cleanliness of the massage “device” (that is, hands), as well as the surface being massaged. Therefore, the list of rules for safe hand massage begins with this nuance:
- wash your hands, cleanse your face in any convenient way (wash with gel, wipe with a sponge and lotion/micellar water, etc.). For greatest effectiveness, you can steam the skin with a warm compress or over steam;
- use a massage oil that will not cause allergies. Do the massage gently, with warm hands and only along those lines and points that are described in a certain technique;
- do not use areas of skin with warts or moles.
After finishing the special massage exercises, it would be a good idea to apply a nourishing cream or serum. You can do a hand massage at least daily, it definitely won’t do any harm.
Massage lines (lymph drainage lines) on the face
Massager
For facial skin, the easiest way is to use roller devices with several rollers that cover different areas of the face at the same time. Before starting massage procedures using a massager, no one canceled the rules of cleanliness:
- Clean the massager with alcohol. “Clean” the massaged surface, steam if necessary;
- apply massage oil (or rich cream), move the massager slowly, apply moderate pressure on it so as not to harm the skin;
- when using the device, take into account the location of the massage lines and move along them;
- After finishing the massage manipulations, wash with warm water and apply cream or serum.
It is not recommended to use massage devices more than 2 times a week. And the course of such rejuvenation should not exceed 1 month.
Anti-aging facial massage techniques (below each technique requires photos. Step-by-step photos are very welcome)
“Minds” of different generations puzzled over how to make massage as effective as possible. Thus, more and more new techniques have appeared that can reduce deep wrinkles, minimize the number of facial wrinkles and tighten the oval of the face. It is worth conducting massage sessions from the age of 28, if necessary - a little earlier (when age-related changes in the skin are already visible). Just like that, at a very young age, massage manipulations are not recommended.
Facial renewal after massage courses
By the way, almost all types of facial massage described below are aimed at an anti-aging effect. Techniques allow:
- increase skin tone, prevent the appearance of new age-related wrinkles;
- improve lymphatic drainage and blood supply;
- tighten the skin on problem areas of the face “affected” by age-related changes;
- rejuvenate the skin, relieve puffiness of the eyes;
- correct the oval of the face;
- get rid of a double chin;
- reduce layers of subcutaneous fat.
Facial massages will also help slow down the aging process so that new wrinkles appear as late as possible.
Classic facial massage
Regular sessions of classic massage will help get rid of the signs of skin aging and achieve significant results in just a couple of months.
It involves alternately operating with the following techniques: kneading and stroking, “finger” patting vibration and rubbing. The pads of the index and middle fingers are involved.
Directions of movements along massage lines:
- corners of the mouth - the upper part of the earlobe;
- the middle of the chin is the earlobe;
- wings of the nose - the top of the auricle;
- upper eyelid from the inner corner to the outer corner;
- middle of forehead - temples;
- lower eyelid (outer corner) - to the inner;
- corners of the mouth - the upper part of the earlobe.
Directions of movements along massage lines
Massage sessions should be carried out in courses - 15 - 20 sessions with an interval of 1-2 days. The course can be repeated after 1.5-2 months.
Japanese massage Tsogan and Asahi
The essence of the massage is applying pressure to special points of the face (where the lymph nodes are located). Such actions promote the outflow of lymph from the dermis, resulting in detoxification and strengthening of the muscles. With this Tsogan (Asahi) massage you can achieve the following goals:
Massage manipulations are suitable for both twenty-year-old girls and older ladies. Some Japanese technique exercises can be skipped or not done daily, but focus on problem areas.
Tanaka Yukuko, the founder of the Asahi technique (also called Tsogan or Zogan), identifies separate exercises for different areas of the face. But the most important thing is the final one:
- put 3 fingers together (i.e. “middle” - except for the little finger and thumb) and press on the lymphatic area near the ears, smoothly go down to the neck, then towards the collarbone.
Exercises for zones:
- Eyes. Place your middle fingers at the outer corners of your eyes, smoothly move them towards the inner corners. Stop for 3 seconds. Increase the pressure and move under the eyebrows to the outer corners, stop for 3 seconds. Release the pressure and move to the inner corners. Increase the pressure again and return to the outer corners, stopping for 3 seconds. Finish the exercise with a finishing movement. Massage for the eye area
- Forehead. Place your middle fingers in the middle of your forehead. Press for 3 seconds, then move to your temples. Turn your arms 90⁰ and head down. Finish the exercise.
Massage for the forehead area - Nose. Starting from the dimples at the wings of the nose, use 3 fingers to slowly move up to the bridge of the nose and back (5 times). Adding your ring finger, rub the bridge of your nose well and below, smoothly move to your cheeks. Finish the exercise.
Massage for the nose area - Lips. Place your 3rd and 4th fingers in the middle of your chin and press for 3 seconds. Then move towards the nasolabial fold and hold for 2 seconds. Finish the exercise.
Lip massage - Cheeks. Place your hands in front of you: elbow to elbow, palm to palm. Open your palms upward, place their bases near your lips and move towards your nose. Then cover your cheeks with your palms and press for 3 seconds. Finish the exercise.
Cheek massage - Lower part of the face. Press your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers to your chin. With light pressure, move them towards the eyes, turn the brush and head towards the temples. Finish the exercise.
Massage for the lower part of the face
All areas of the face are involved, and the impulses from the massage reach the deep muscles. With systematic exposure, they soften, and the folds of wrinkles decrease or disappear altogether. Massage is performed once a day. You can do it yourself or simply trust a specialist.
Chinese
This type of acupressure slows down the aging process and also helps the skin rejuvenate. And they do Chinese lymphatic drainage massage (it’s also called that) according to the following scheme:
- stand up straight, straighten your shoulders;
- rub your palms so that they become warm;
- move your palms as if you were washing your face several times;
- Perform circular movements with your eyes in one direction - 10 times, then in the other. During the process, you need to blink frequently;
- Turn your hands with your thumbs down, press on the depressions at the bridge of the nose near the inner corners of the eyes;
- use your index fingers to move from the bridge of your nose to the wings of your nose and vice versa – 5 times in one direction;
- With three fingers (2, 3, 4), pat your cheeks moving from the cheekbones to the mouth, at the count of “5” increase the pressure, continue to the count of “10” and ease the pressure;
- tuck your upper lip under your lower lip, then tilt your chin forward a little to tighten the skin underneath. Press with emphasis on the point in the middle with your chin (where the pulse is felt), then move along such points towards the ears;
- massage your ears from top to bottom slowly, spend more time on the earlobes;
- spread your fingers like a rake, touching the scalp and make combing movements from the forehead to the back of the head.
Elements of Chinese massage
This simple massage is recommended to be done every day, once. Only with a systematic procedure can a positive result be achieved.
Massage with spoons
Another type of Chinese massage is with spoons. For manipulations, ordinary stainless steel tablespoons are suitable, and for the area around the eyes - a teaspoon.
Massage tools
For the treatment procedure against wrinkles of various types, you need to do the following exercises:
- Dip a teaspoon into a cool chamomile decoction, apply it first to the upper eyelid, then dip it in the decoction again. Apply to the lower eyelid. Repeat the same steps with the second eye;
Massage with spoons: beginning - heat a little olive oil, dip a tablespoon there and, patting, treat the forehead area, between the eyebrows, then work the same areas with circular pressure of the spoon;
Massage with spoons: continuation - heat a spoon in a hot chamomile decoction and move it from the neck to the chin;
Let's continue... - puff out your cheeks and tap the entire surface lightly with a spoon;
Lightly tap your cheeks with a spoon - Heat a spoon in a hot chamomile decoction and treat all areas of the face with expression wrinkles in a circular motion clockwise and counterclockwise.
Completion
Alternatively, all active zones (massage lines and lymph nodes) can simply be massaged with a spoon. The cosmetic effect occurs with systematic massage procedures.
Pinch according to Jacquet
The pinch technique is quite complex for self-massage, but it is quite possible to master it. Cosmetic oils are inappropriate in this case. Perform a pinch massage along the massage lines, pinching the thumb and index finger.
The massage sacrament begins from the upper part of the face: between the eyebrows, moving to the forehead. Next, head to the eyes: in this area, gently massage with circular pressing movements, alternating with stroking. The massage is further carried out from the nose (from the bridge of the nose to the wings), moving to the cheeks along the massage lines, etc.
Lines for "pinching"
Thai
Anti-aging Thai massage is not very effective when performed independently. To get the greatest effect, it is better to use special products that can only be found in “Asian” salons.
Begin the massage by stroking the neck, moving up to the chin and to the ears. The manipulation continues with circular stroking movements along the cheekbones and cheeks, moving to the area around the mouth, nose, forehead, and temples. Near the eyes, the tactics change: using the fingertips, strokes are performed from the corners of the eyes, heading towards the bridge of the nose through the lower eyelid area. Then return to the outer corner above the upper eyelid. Each zone should be given a total of 5 minutes.
Performing Thai massage
Shiatsu acupressure massage
One of the effective methods by which wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin is tightened is Shiatsu massage (Shiatsu - “finger pressure”). It is built on a targeted effect, after which the rejuvenation effect is achieved:
- press the points for 5 seconds with the pads of your ring fingers, starting from the center of the forehead, gradually moving towards the temples (hold on the temples for 7 seconds);
- Place your index (2nd) fingers under your eyebrow on the outer side, your middle (3rd) fingers in the middle, and your ring (4th) fingers at the beginning. Hold for 7 seconds;
- move your middle finger to the outer corner of your eye and hold for 7 seconds. Then move the same finger again, only to the inner corners. Hold for 7 seconds;
- make a “frowning” grimace and place your thumb on the resulting vertical wrinkles, press for 7 seconds; Performing a Shiatsu massage: steps 1 - 4
- spread your fingers: the 4th on the inner corner of the eye, the 3rd on the upper eyelid, the 2nd on the outer corner. Press your fingers on these points (7 seconds). Do the same with the lower eyelid (place your middle finger on the lower eyelid);
- for the cheekbones: place three middle fingers along their line at a distance of 1.5 cm from each other, press for 7 seconds;
- for the nose: place your index fingers in the dimples near the wings of the nose and press for 5 seconds;
- press above the lips with your middle finger, then under the lips in the center for 7 seconds;
- Place the 3rd and 4th fingers on the hollows of the cheeks, the thumb under the jaw at the site of pulsation of the veins, press for 7 seconds.
Performing a Shiatsu massage: steps 5 - 9
Place your fingers perpendicular to the surface of the skin, and after the massage, moisturize the skin.
Lymphatic drainage
The essence of massage is to improve lymphatic drainage in order to remove toxins from the skin and rejuvenate it. Lymphatic drainage massage includes the following types: Japanese, vacuum, classic. All of them involve manipulation of lymph nodes and currents, along massage lines (along lymph outflow lines).
Diagram of lymph nodes
If you follow these lines strictly and make pinching or stroking movements (as well as using a vacuum device), then the lymphatic drainage effect will be achieved.
Vacuum
This type of massage is carried out using special devices: “grandmother’s” cups, a rubber massager, as well as silicone cups and a device.
Devices for vacuum massage
To do this procedure, you need to follow the following steps:
- cleanse the skin and apply oil or cream;
- place the jar or vacuum attachment of the device on the middle of the forehead so that it “sucks” to the skin (glass units need to be heated from the inside for this) and move it from the middle of the forehead to the temples and vice versa. Next you need to move “vertically” - from the eyebrows to the hairline;
Performing a vacuum massage - then place the jar on the cheekbone and move towards the nose and vice versa, then change direction towards the lips;
- Apply oil or cream generously under the lower eyelid and on the upper eyelid. Select a jar of the smallest diameter and place it at the outer corner, then smoothly move it to the inner corner and vice versa. The same should be done on the upper eyelid, after closing the eye.
This is how they do a vacuum massage
Vacuum massage can also be done in the décolleté and neck area, and for this it is better to choose jars of a larger diameter than for the face.
Vacuum massage of the neck and décolleté.
Contraindications
Despite all the advantages of facial massage, not everyone can do it. General contraindications to massage manipulations are:
- rosacea, an abundance of warts and moles on the face;
- allergic, hormonal and other rashes;
Contraindications for facial massage - “problems” with the lymphatic system;
- infectious diseases;
- wounds, ulcers on the skin;
- recent peeling or injection procedures.
In addition to the listed contraindications, massage should not be given to very young ladies, as well as to ladies with a small layer of fat under the skin of the face.
With age, natural aging processes occur and facial skin becomes sagging, excessively dry, pigmented and wrinkled. Beauty salons offer many anti-aging procedures, but not everyone can afford the cost. Experts recommend using an excellent alternative - a facial massager, which will help restore the smooth surface of the skin at home.

Advantages and disadvantages of facial massagers
The advantage of using a massager against wrinkles on the face is the ability to use it at home, which allows you to carry out anti-aging procedures at any convenient time and the required number of times. But besides this, experts highlight several more “advantages” of facial massagers against wrinkles:
- the range of equipment of this type is quite large, you can make a choice in your favor both in terms of cost and the principle of effect on the skin;
- It is very easy to use the devices, you do not need to have any specific knowledge - just carefully study the instructions;
- financial investments need to be made only once when purchasing a massager, and you need to use it regularly and upon request;
- it will be possible to refuse Botox injections and other injection rejuvenation procedures, which are considered potentially dangerous to beauty and health;
- With proper use, it will be possible not only to rejuvenate, but also to solve other dermatological problems.
But despite the fact that most anti-wrinkle facial massagers have quality certificates and are approved for use by cosmetologists, they also have disadvantages:
- relatively high cost for some equipment models;
- no guarantee of results;
- high risk of side effects;
- presence of contraindications.
And here is more information about how to effectively remove wrinkles under the eyes.
Will it really help against wrinkles, for skin tightening?
Cosmetologists believe that home-use massagers help improve facial skin tone and smooth out wrinkles only if the aging process has just begun to develop. Therefore, they are recommended for use as a prevention of the early appearance of age-related changes on the skin of the face - the skin on the cheeks “sagged”, small wrinkles formed in the outer corners of the eyes (“crow’s feet”), and barely noticeable pigment spots began to appear.
It is important to understand that rejuvenation occurs only with comprehensive and regular facial skin care. And this means that you need not only to perform massage with a certain frequency, but also to use various cosmetics - scrubs, lotions, moisturizing and nourishing creams, masks that are optimally suited to a specific type of dermis.
Best option for home use
You can independently use the following types of massagers to care for the skin of your face:
- Roller mechanical. This is the simplest design, involving a mechanical effect on the skin. Externally, it looks like two rollers of different sizes connected to each other, mounted on a thickened manipulator handle. Such a massager can be made of plastic, wood or stone; it begins to work when you move your hand along the surface of the face in a back-and-forth motion.
A roller mechanical massager is capable of influencing the deep layers of the dermis and has a lifting effect. The result is an increase in the elasticity of the skin and a general facelift.
- Vacuum. This is one of the most popular types of massagers for home use, because it not only smoothes out wrinkles, but also cleanses the surface of the skin and pores from impurities. The vacuum type of equipment makes the dermis elastic, smooth, with high tone - it has a general tightening effect, small wrinkles are smoothed out.
If there are rashes on the face, foci of inflammation or any dermatological diseases with localization of symptoms in this place, then this massager is contraindicated.
- Myostimulators. This is an electrical type of device that has an effect on the dermis identical to professional lifting.
Blood circulation improves in all its layers, and the lymphatic drainage system begins to function at an accelerated rate. This eliminates facial wrinkles and fat deposits in the cheeks and neck (double chin correction). Cosmetologists claim that muscle stimulants can replace Botox injections.
- Ultrasonic. The massager “supplies” ultrasonic waves into the skin, which help eliminate any defects that disrupt the smoothness of the surface. During the procedure, dermal cells “compress” and “uncompress” - such training automatically evens out the structure of the skin. Additionally, the processes of production of natural collagen and elastin are improved, preserving youth.
- Oxygen. The amount of oxygen that comes from the massager, properly distributed over all layers of the skin, normalizes metabolic processes at the cellular level and improves regeneration. The complexion acquires a natural shade.
There are also massagers with infrared radiation and laser. The first option is optimal for treating the skin around the eyes - it is very thin, sensitive in this area and should not be injured, overly stretched or compressed. Laser equipment increases and accelerates the rejuvenating effect - the results of smoothing and tightening will be noticeable literally after the first procedure.

Preparing the face for the procedure
For facial skin care with a massager to be truly effective, you need to prepare the dermis for the procedure:
- the face is steamed under the hot streams of a shower or using a steam bath, to the water of which you can add a decoction of chamomile, calendula or sage flowers;
- The skin is wiped with lotion appropriate for its type.
If the purpose of the procedure is to smooth out wrinkles, then before starting it is necessary to apply a thin layer of moisturizing or nourishing cream to the skin.
How to use the massager yourself
The selected massager is moved over the surface of the face in a circular or reciprocating motion - this depends on the type of device and the instructions in the instructions. The lower part is processed first, then the upper. Movements should be smooth, without any force (with the exception of a mechanical roller massager), without effort or jerking.
The area of the face that already shows signs of aging – wrinkles, sagging, increased pigmentation – is treated especially carefully.
After the procedure, the face should be rinsed with warm water without detergents and dried by blotting with a soft towel. The final stage is applying a moisturizer with an oily structure. You can’t use decorative cosmetics - you need to give your skin a “rest” for several hours, so massage should be done in the evening before bed.
Duration and frequency of the procedure
During the procedure, it is strictly forbidden to act on the same area for more than 1 minute. If a thorough study is necessary, it is better to return to the problem area after a few seconds.
You can rejuvenate and tighten your skin only with proper daily care. But this statement applies only to creams, lotions and masks. As for the anti-wrinkle massager for the face, it should be used no more than once every 2 days; it is better to take a break between procedures of 4 days. As a preventative measure, the frequency of massage is once a week.
The massager can be used in courses - after every 15 procedures you need to take a break for 1 month and only after that you can repeat the process.
Can everyone have a facial massage with a massager?
One of the disadvantages of the equipment in question are contraindications to its use:
- periods of bearing and breastfeeding a child;
- any pathologies of the skin with manifestations in the places where the massage is supposed to be performed;
- rashes on the face caused by infectious or viral agents;
- diagnosed malignant tumors of any location;
- chronic heart and vascular diseases;
- pathological expansion of small blood vessels on the face - rosacea;
- bruises, swelling, any wounds (including abrasions) on the face;
- acute course of a cold;
- increased body temperature for any reason;
- history of insertion of implants under the skin of the face;
- diabetes;
- skin hypersensitivity.
It is advisable to visit a cosmetologist before starting a course of rejuvenation procedures and consult with him about the advisability of this method of restoring the beauty of appearance.

Skin changes can be age-related, associated with unfavorable environmental conditions or diseases, long-term use of antibiotics and poor lifestyle. Special creams, masks and massage techniques will help improve the condition of your facial skin and get rid of wrinkles. Massage sessions can be performed either with your hands or with the help of electric or mechanical massagers.
Effect of massage
An anti-wrinkle massager is a compact device that can be used at home for skin care. It is convenient, easy to use and effective. Sessions are held for:
- Reducing swelling;
- Returning facial skin to a healthy color;
- Muscle relaxation;
- Elimination of cosmetic skin defects;
- Reducing the severity of wrinkles.
During massage treatment the following occurs:
- Improving blood circulation in tissues;
- Saturation of blood with oxygen and nutrients;
- Increasing the speed of metabolic processes;
- Improving the functioning of the skin glands;
- Pore cleansing;
- Relief from pigment spots;
- Relief from inflammatory processes;
- Improving the tone of the facial muscles;
- Tightening the oval of the face;
- Restoration of regeneration processes.
The production of collagen and elastin, which is activated during sessions, leads to a reduction in wrinkles and improved skin condition.
Mechanism of influence on the body
The method of exposure to the skin depends on the type of massager. Before purchasing a device, it is better to consult a cosmetologist to determine the condition of the skin and identify problem areas. Based on your doctor’s recommendations, you can choose the optimal type of massage device.
Roller massage affects the deep layers of the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and improving blood circulation in the tissues. Typically, roller massagers are made of wood, plastic, silicone or jade. Not only the price, but also the efficiency depends on the material. Jade rollers have the best reviews.
Vacuum massagers apply rarefied air to the skin. This leads to increased movement of blood and lymph, activation of metabolic processes and accelerated tissue regeneration. As a result, intracellular metabolism improves, active elimination of toxins occurs, and accelerated structural and functional tissue restoration.
Electric massagers improve the appearance of your skin. They are often recommended for cosmetic problems of the facial skin due to their varied effects. One device may have several attachments for ultrasonic, laser or pulsed action. Myostimulators have a lifting effect, free the face from facial wrinkles by improving blood flow, removing excess fluid from the intercellular space and activating restoration processes.
Oxygen and ionic massagers work on a similar principle: improving recovery processes, increasing hormone production, cleansing the skin and saturating skin cells with oxygen. The effectiveness of an ultrasonic massager is based on high-frequency sound vibrations. Cells respond to sound waves with increased vibrations and alternating phases of contraction and relaxation. Ultrasonic massage can be combined with infrared exposure. Many massagers combine ultrasound and infrared radiation, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure.
Laser massagers treat the skin and subcutaneous layers with cold laser beams. Its frequencies increase the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, which has a positive effect on the condition of the skin. Laser devices are recommended to eliminate sagging, signs of premature aging and to combat age spots.
The pulse device acts on the skin with alternating current. As a result, blood circulation and metabolic processes improve, and excess fluid and toxins are removed from the intercellular space.
Indications and contraindications
Massage devices bring not only benefits. And they can cause harm if they are used incorrectly or if doctors’ recommendations are not followed.
Devices are used for skin rejuvenation, to eliminate swelling, wrinkles, and age spots.

Improper use or too active use of the massager can lead to itching, bruising, and open wounds. It is forbidden to treat the area of moles with any type of device - this can provoke the development of papillomas.
Massage techniques and techniques
Before performing a massage, the skin must be cleaned of cosmetics. To do this, it is better to use special products (milk, scrubs, micellar water, tonic), and then apply a rich cream to the skin. After 5-7 minutes, remove the remaining cream with a napkin. If additional recommendations are not given for applying cream before treatment, the skin is left dry.
Classic study
How to properly massage your face with an electric massager:
- From the chin, movements are directed towards the earlobe;
- From the central point under the lower lip - to the middle of the ear;
- From the base of the wings of the nose to the temple and back;
- From the corners of the lips to the central point in front of the auricle;
- From the bridge of the nose along the eyebrow line to the temples;
- Along the bridge of the nose to the hairline;
- From the center line of the forehead to the temples;
- Along the front of the neck from the base of the chin to the collarbones.
All movements should be slow, smooth and upward. The left and right sides of the face are worked on alternately. The number of repetitions of each exercise is from 7 to 12. The exception is the neck and décolleté area - massage is performed for 5-7 minutes.
Jade technique
A regular roller or roller is a simple and good facial massager. It is popular among mechanical models, and a separate technique has been developed for it. The method can be used for jade, as well as wooden and any other roller massagers.
The treatment takes place along massage lines and the direction of lymph movement. Sequence to work through:
- The bridge of the nose and glabella - from 8 to 15 movements;
- Forehead - from 8 to 15 movements over the entire surface. Start from the eyebrow line;
- Left and right cheek in the middle part - from 10 to 15 movements;
- Zygomatic and upper cheek - from 10 to 15 movements;
- The wings of the nose and the bridge of the nose - from 7 to 10 movements;
- Nostrils and nasolabial folds - from 10 to 15 light movements without pressure;
- Chin - from 10 to 15 movements;
- From the chin to the earlobes, carry out 10-12 times.
To improve the effect, the massage device can be preheated in a water bath or under running hot water. Before using the device, the skin must be additionally lubricated with anti-aging cream or any natural massage oil. Using a roller massager after sleep will help get rid of dark circles under the eyes, improve your complexion and give clarity to your eyes. Carrying out the procedure in the evening promotes relaxation and better sleep.
How often should I use it?
To maintain the beauty and health of the skin, comprehensive daily care is required, which includes applying cream and cleansing, nourishing masks and massage treatments. If there are no contraindications, then you can use the massager daily. The time of exposure to the local area should not exceed 1-3 minutes.
The total procedure time depends on the type of device, skin condition and expected result. But massage therapists do not recommend sessions lasting more than 30 minutes. Prolonged training can lead to microtrauma, poor circulation, muscle spasms and bruising.
Massage procedures for therapeutic purposes for mature skin should be carried out no more than 4 times a week.
This is explained by deeper processing and the need for cells to rest. A preventative course for young skin consists of 10-15 sessions, and the number of procedures per week is up to 2.
The choice of a massager for home use depends on skin type and age, the desired result and the recommendations of a cosmetologist. It is not advisable to buy a device yourself: an incorrectly selected type of influence will only increase the problem. Also, before purchasing, you need to familiarize yourself with the contraindications and restrictions. Some massagers have replaceable attachments, and such devices can be used for a variety of procedures: infrared and ultrasound, laser and ion. To maintain the effect, short massage sessions should be performed daily, and the first positive results are noticeable after 5-10 procedures.
