Facial and neck massage is extremely importantcaring procedure. A good, competent massage improves lymphatic drainage and blood microcirculation, and this helps to relieve swelling, saturate tissues with oxygen, improve their nutrition, as a result of which the face becomes fresh and radiant. In cosmetology, different types of massage are used, and each of them performs its own specific function and is aimed at eliminating certain problems. One of the most effective types of massage is plastic facial massage, which we want to tell you about in more detail.

Facial plastic massage

This type of massage has a significant effectimpact on the tissues of the face and neck. As a result, lymph and blood circulation improves, muscles are strengthened, and skin turgor increases. Indications for plastic massage are flabby, aging skin, excess fatty tissue, and decreased muscle tone. Plastic massage is recommended to be carried out in a course that includes 10-15 procedures. The number directly depends on the condition of the patient's skin. It is very important not to interrupt the course (as a rule, the massage is done every other day). After a full course, it is recommended to do maintenance procedures twice a month. Very often, a cosmetologist alternates plastic massage, which is performed on talc, with cosmetic massage, performed on cream. This is especially effective for people with dry facial skin. The correct technique for performing plastic surgery (meaning plastic massage) plays a very important role. Therefore, this cosmetic procedure can only be trusted to a qualified cosmetologist with a medical education.

Technique of plastic massage

Plastic massage is performed byalternation of pressing, vibrating and fixing movements, which are performed along the so-called massage lines. This is a very important point that must be taken into account in order not to stretch the skin. In general, the same movements are used as in other types of massage, the fundamental difference lies in the kneading technique, which is performed with reciprocating circular movements.

• Plastic massage begins with stroking - we go on massage lines from above, we finish with fixation on each line.
• Superficial kneading of the face is performed:

from the middle of the chin to the earlobe

from the corner of the mouth to the tragus

from nose to temple

from the outer edge of the circular muscle of the eye through the bridge of the nose and along the brow to the temple

from the middle of the forehead to the temple

from the temples along the cheeks to the lower jaw

• Superficial kneading muscles:

from submandibular area to earlobe

from the lower jaw to the clavicle (along the lateral surface of the neck), the subclavian area, the sternum

from the sternum along the anterior-lateral surface of the neck up (toward the lower jaw)

• Deep kneading (performed according to the same scheme as the surface one).
• Stitching (staccato) - on the massage lines from the bottom up.
• Vibration is from the bottom up.
• Stroking is the final stage of plastic massage.

After completing the massage, the facial skin should bewipe with lotion or decoction of medicinal herbs (as indicated) and apply a corresponding mask (depending on the skin type and existing problems). Masks with a lifting effect are very good, which are indicated for almost all patients who need plastic massage. They consolidate the result obtained from the massage. Currently, many advanced salons offer the so-called chiroplastic massage, which is based on the principles of plastic massage, but the technique has certain differences. This technique was developed by the Spanish professor, employee of the Institute of Manual Therapy (Barcelona) Enrique Castells Garcia. According to experts in aesthetic cosmetology, today this is the most effective massage with a pronounced lifting effect. The highlight is, firstly, in very energetic, even sharp, movements, due to which it is possible to achieve increased blood circulation in the tissues. And secondly, this massage is not limited to the face – it is necessary to work on the back and side of the neck, the collar area, the trapezius muscle and the arms (from the shoulder to the elbow joint). The results are impressive.

Results of plastic massage

The very name of this massage containsdeep meaning – an analogy with plastic surgery comes to mind. And it must be said, not without reason. A massage therapist, thanks to a special technique, in a certain sense models the face, improving its contours. And age-related changes require exactly this kind of intervention, which helps restore the oval of the face. How can such an effect be achieved without radical intervention, but only through massage? Deep stimulating work on the muscle frame, affecting not only the facial muscles, which by their nature are already in tone, but also the static muscles, gives an amazing result. Without a scalpel, without anesthesia, without a recovery period (and it is necessary with surgical intervention), it is possible to achieve a lasting rejuvenating effect. So, plastic massage leads to the following results:

• Smoothes wrinkles
• improves microcirculation and lymphatic drainage
• swells go away
• oxygen saturation of tissues increases
• disappear or become less noticeable pigment spots
• narrowing of the pores
• disappear rashes
• the skin becomes more elastic and elastic
• the face oval is restored

From a certain age, plastic massageIt is necessary to include it in the facial and neck skin care program, unless, of course, there are no contraindications to massages as such. The only thing I would like to draw attention to is that this massage requires professional knowledge, in particular on the anatomy of the face and neck. However, any massage should only be performed by a professionally trained person. We recommend reading:
