Points on the face for massage for rejuvenation

A targeted effect on special reflex zones of the human body activates internal vital energy, directing it to the healing of specific organs or systems. Acupuncture facial massage demonstrates an impressive effect, restoring former beauty and health. This will be discussed in this material.

The procedure, created by healers of the Ancient East, consists of local exposure to biologically active areas with fingertips. The main goal of the technique is to relieve tension and relax the facial muscle frame as much as possible. But besides this, massage has a positive effect on other aspects.

The acupressure technique is used along with classical, lymphatic and other rejuvenating methods of manual therapy, popular among women.

Worth knowing: acupuncture massage for facial wrinkles is additionally used for healing and treating certain diseases. It is practiced during the fight against pain, migraines and angina attacks.

Operating principle

Stimulation of reflex zones activates the circulation of vital energy, which, according to the creators of the method, occurs in a person along with other systemic processes.

1. slowing down body aging;
2. metabolism stimulation;
3. accelerating the removal of lactic acid from muscles;
4. stabilization of blood circulation in problem areas.

The positive effect is on the condition of the skin and organs, so don’t be surprised to find an improvement in your overall health.

The regularity of sessions and their correct implementation guarantee:

1. muscle strengthening;
2. smoothing wrinkles of any depth;
3. slowing down age-related changes;
4. normalization of sebum secretion;
5. increased skin turgor;
6. improvement of the color and condition of the epidermis.

To move on to the practice of acupressure facial massage, you should first study the layout of biologically active areas and their projection on the body.

Location of reflex zones

The face is the center of active points (more than 114). The diameter of each varies depending on the physiological characteristics - from 1 mm to 1 cm. To put it simply, their map is a collection of nerve appendages, the impact of which causes aches, mild pain and mild “electric shocks”.

Area around the eyes and cheekbones:

1. Between the inner ends of the eyebrows, 1 cm above the bridge of the nose.
2. In the inner corners of the eyes, closer to the bridge of the nose*.
3. The middle of the brow arch, guided by the pupil*.
4. 1 cm from the outer corners of the eyes to the temples*.
5. Under the cheekbones, along the line of the pupil, guided by the lower edge of the nostrils*.
6. Under the lower eyelid, 1 cm from the eye, towards the cheekbone*.

1. Under the lower lip, in the hollow of the chin.
2. 1 cm from the corners of the mouth*.
3. In the center of the nasolabial fold, above the upper lip.

Temporal and frontal areas:

1. Near the outer ends of the eyebrows, 1 cm closer to the temple*.
2. Above the middle of the eyebrow arch, 1 cm from the hairline*.
3. 3 cm above the outer corner of the eyes*.

When performing acupressure at home, you can influence reflex points with your fingers.

But other methods are also known in cosmetology:

1. thermal;
2. acupuncture;
3. laser: infrared, ultraviolet;
   
   
   
   
4. magnetic;
5. vacuum.

The duration of exposure to each point depends on the chosen method, but ranges from 3 to 5 seconds.

Important! Proper nutrition and skin care with cosmetics will enhance and prolong the effect

Projection of internal organs

In addition to the face, acupuncture points affect several organs. Back in the last century, the famous neuropathologist Ged identified areas of the skin on the head and neck that signal pain in diseases of the internal organs. Later, doctors appreciated their diagnostic significance. It is not practical to describe each of them now, so we provide only a brief graphical map.

If you identify any area that gives off unusual sensations, you should take care of your health.

Types of acupressure techniques for facial massage

Based on the rules of specific practice, clicks are carried out with an acceptable error or require clarity. It can be performed with the index, middle or thumb, and paired reflex zones are processed synchronously.

Dynamic Chinese massage is aimed at getting rid of age-related signs on the face and improving health. Over the history of the practice, results of getting rid of chronic diseases that could not be overcome by traditional treatment methods have been recorded. Depending on the severity of the problem, some patients only need a couple of sessions to obtain the desired result, while for some, a full monthly complex is not enough.

Zhong implies a simplification of classic acupressure and consists of stimulating only the points necessary to activate the function of specific organs.

The session is carried out slowly, in a calm atmosphere. The technique is quite simple and you do not need long training to master it.

The practice involves a number of movements to stimulate reflex zones, but the most commonly used are tapping with the tip of the index finger or circular stroking with the bent thumb. In addition to the selected point, it is recommended to massage the area around it. The massage therapist himself determines the treatment time by how quickly the skin temperature rises in the massaged area.

Japanese massage used along with traditional medicine. The technique is safe, effective and accessible. Masters assure that the only reason for the lack of effect is the incorrect use of the technique.

Su-jok techniques are available at home and do not require special skills other than knowledge of the correct impact and location of reflex zones. In the practice of su-jok, there is a separate technique for the face, which is designed to rejuvenate not only delicate tissues and facial wrinkles, but also the entire body in particular.

The simplest and most accessible set of movements aimed at rejuvenation and natural lifting of the skin. One of the few techniques that can be performed daily, and not a couple of times a week. Therefore, a significant result will be noticeable after just half a month of regular sessions.

Shiatsu is divided into three types:

The reason for which the patient came in plays a major role in choosing the intensity of pressure and localization of the impact.

Important: during the session it is unacceptable to feel any discomfort or pain

The impact is on tsubo points, which trigger self-healing and self-rejuvenation of the body.

Please note that the maps of reflex zones in the photo are similar to maps of other methods. The fact is that the roots of all types of acupressure go back to the era of the Ancient East. Now the methods of influence are being modified, but the map of points itself does not change significantly, except for the location according to the individual physiological characteristics of the facial structure, which allows for a displacement of up to 1 cm.

Indications and contraindications

The main indication for acupressure, from the point of view of traditional healers of the East and masters of manual therapy, is an imbalance in the energy field. Since few people believe in this, and people are increasingly basing their needs on the actual state of their health, it turns out that this type of massage has no direct indications or contraindications. Acupuncture is equally effective in combating serious ailments and cosmetic problems.
