Tape for glabellar wrinkles

A vertical wrinkle between the eyebrows often appears in people who have the habit of frowning. Such folds can be present even at a fairly young age due to hypertonicity of the paired muscle. Over the years, under the influence of the aging process, the skin of the face becomes dehydrated and lacks collagen cells, so wrinkles become deeper and more pronounced. The defect can be eliminated with Botox or hyaluronic acid injections, laser resurfacing and plastic surgery. There are also less painful techniques, for example, aesthetic facial taping.

The procedure involves applying cotton or silk tapes on an adhesive base in the direction of the massage lines. The tape reduces tension in the facial muscles, improves blood circulation and lymph movement, which helps smooth out wrinkles, and also prevents the occurrence of swelling and fluid stagnation in the tissues. The skin acquires a healthy color and becomes more elastic (read more about reviews and the principle of operation of the kinesio tape patch in this article).

The aesthetic taping method is used to correct eyebrow and nasolabial folds, lift the forehead and eliminate crow's feet. There are various tape techniques to sculpt the face and reduce double chin. A full course of several sessions helps strengthen muscles and prevent the occurrence of new irregularities.

How to perform facial taping

Correction tapes are made from natural material, which has such advantages as breathability and the ability to transmit moisture. Throughout the entire period of wearing the strips on the skin of the face, they do not cause any discomfort and allow you to lead a normal lifestyle. Quick-drying acrylic-based adhesive securely holds the tape, prevents it from moving and ensures continuous action on muscle tissue. The substance does not dissolve in water, so you can wash your face and go to the pool with the tapes on your face or neck.

In order to apply the tape correctly, you need to understand the structure of the facial muscles. The direction in which the tape is applied depends on the selected area and the problem being addressed. In case of sagging skin and the formation of a double chin, modeling facial taping will help. To smooth out unevenness on the forehead, the tape is applied from the area between the eyebrows to the hairline. Transverse wrinkles can be removed using several thin tapes applied horizontally.

The cause of facial wrinkles is excessive tension in the facial muscles, so an elastic strip is applied in the direction of their movement to relieve some of the stress and relax the internal tissues. Myofascial application during taping helps eliminate spasms and pain by releasing blood vessels from pressure, after which the skin becomes smoother and the facial expression becomes calmer. The tape immobilizes the muscle and prevents it from contracting, which prevents the formation of wrinkles. This taping technique is also used for neuritis of the facial nerve at the initial stage of the disease or during its chronic course.

Selecting and using tapes to correct the area between the eyebrows

Facial tapes are made from soft and safe premium materials - eco-cotton of natural origin and artificial silk, which you can purchase in the Buy kinesio tapes section of the website. The strips do not cause discomfort even when applied to sensitive areas and have an effective effect on muscle tissue. Both narrow and wide patches are optimal for facial taping, which can be cut to perform a lymphatic drainage procedure. The split tape is applied in a specific pattern to improve fluid circulation due to additional pressure.

There are different taping techniques to reduce wrinkles between the eyebrows. The paired muscle can be fixed using one or two narrow vertical strips. During this procedure, the tape is placed horizontally, in the direction from the nose to the side of the forehead. The application is glued without tension onto smoothed facial skin.

At the same time, X-shaped tape, which consists of two strips, will help eliminate unevenness between the eyebrows, as well as lift the forehead and around the eyes. The tapes are applied diagonally across the entire face, precisely bending around the correction zones and creating a curved contour. Cosmetologists recommend combining techniques to achieve the best effect.

How to do facial taping at home

Gluing tapes using a complex technique to tighten large areas should be entrusted to a specialist who will apply the strips in the right direction, taking into account your individual anatomical features. It is not difficult to correct wrinkles between the eyebrows on your own after familiarizing yourself with the structure of the muscles and studying facial taping schemes; it is also advisable to take a full training course. To achieve long-term and high-quality results, it is necessary to carry out several daily procedures. Gluing strips to one area will not take much time. The tapes should be worn for at least 30 minutes; they can also be left on the face overnight, since if the taping technology is followed, the patches will retain their original position even after 12 hours.

In order for the strips to adhere securely and provide maximum effect, the skin must be dry and clean. Do not apply moisturizer or serum to your face, otherwise the tape will quickly peel off. A small tape applied without tension will further keep the muscle from tension, and the wrinkle will gradually smooth out. Rub the patch thoroughly after application to heat and soften the adhesive layer for better fixation and maximum adhesion of the strip to the skin. Removing soft tapes for aesthetic facial correction does not require much effort - just moisten the tape with a special oil-based liquid and remove it with a gentle movement.

1. The use of tapes has noticeable advantages over other procedures for improving appearance. For example, compared to plastic surgery, it is safer and suitable for those people who are afraid to go under the knife.

Therefore, regularity is important here, and this is perhaps the main and only drawback of anti-aging aesthetic taping;
2. According to experts, taping is a multifunctional procedure that not only significantly combats age-related changes, but also removes swelling and hematomas. In addition, tapes lift the skin, which allows lymph to move freely in the body;
