Look younger without plastic surgery: hardware facial massage - biomechanical stimulation

What does "LPG" stand for?

The development of such a massage was carried out by the Frenchman Louis-Paul Guitey - it was his initials that were used in the name of the procedure. This man was in a car accident, which turned his whole life upside down, depriving him of the ability to move normally. His injury forced him to do various exercises and massage sessions every day, so one day the idea came to his mind to develop a device that could help the body get back in order after injuries of various types. Now this development is used to correct stretch marks, “orange peels” and improve the health of facial skin.

Previously, this type of massage was used to restore the body.

What is hidden behind the letters "LPG"

The developer of the method is the Frenchman Louis-Paul Guitey. The initials of his full name became the name of the method. After the car accident, Louis was deprived of the ability to move normally. Every day he was forced to resort to special exercises and massages in order to experience a minimum of hardship. He constantly thought about how to get rid of the damage. And so he began developing a device that would allow the body to recover from the effects of injuries. But the system he invented was also used to reduce stretch marks, heal facial skin and get rid of “orange peels”.

You can often find such names for LPG massage as:

• Liftmassage;
• Non-surgical LPG face lift;
• LPG endermology;
• Endermolift;
• Cosmechanics;
• Endermological lipomassage.

To carry out all these procedures, a device manufactured by LPG Systems is used. Some other companies are trying to copy or improve this device, but the original is better than the copy and it is difficult to believe that their equipment is effective.

For LPG massage of the body, face, and décolleté, different attachments are used. These are Endermolab, Integral, Lift, Keymodule Cellu M6. The models are constantly being improved and currently look like this:

Features of this procedure

This method is called differently - liftmassage, cosmechanics, endermolift. During the procedure, a vacuum-pinch action occurs on the skin, reaching its deep layers. Even deeper tissues can be treated.

As already mentioned, the procedure was developed in France by a man who, due to an accident, could not move normally for a long time. The patient did not like the way the specialists handled their duties during the massage process, so he had to independently invent a device for these manipulations. Over time, it was called LPG.

At first, the device for LPG massage was intended to be used in the rehabilitation of people after certain traumatic injuries - for example, to smooth out scars after operations. The resulting effect is many times greater than that obtained with manual massage techniques. In addition, the results last longer. Over time, LPG began to be used to improve skin health, increase its elasticity, smooth cellulite and correct stretch marks. It is advisable to use LPG massage to remove excess fat. Thus, the scope of use of the device is quite wide.

LPG massage is often used to eliminate cellulite

This cosmetic procedure will allow you to correct the shape of your face thanks to the effects of a vacuum and a roller. The impact occurs with several manipulas intended for the face or body. For example, a facial device is designed to draw in an area of ​​skin and subcutaneous fat using a vacuum. Retraction frequency is from 4 to 16 per second.

This service is provided by many cosmetology clinics. The manipulation device is configured to operate automatically, which is suitable for a specific client (this is chosen by the cosmetologist). The procedure allows you to correct facial skin imperfections. Any impact does not cause pain.

This massage does not cause pain

Efficiency of the method

The vacuum-roller method, repeatedly tested by cosmetologists around the world, is significantly superior to the manual method. This is proven by statistics:

1. renewal of collagen fibers increases by 27–120%;
2. the lifting effect reduces the skin area by 20%;
3. skin thickens by 53%;
4. subcutaneous fat disappears by 48%, after the procedure the process of its reduction is still ongoing;
5. there is an increase in arterial blood inflow by 5–6 times, venous outflow by 20%;
6. lymphatic drainage is activated 2–3 times.

Facial massage using the lpg device reveals the hidden reserve forces of tissues and activates the work of fibroblasts. It eliminates the cause, not the consequence, of age-related skin problems. LPG massage copes with all types of wrinkles. Epidermal wrinkles, which look like a fine mesh, disappear completely. Dermal wrinkles are formed due to the effect of free radicals on collagen fibers, and deep wrinkles are formed at the level of subcutaneous fat. The number of the last two types of wrinkles decreases by 34%, their depth and length decrease by 23 and 15%, respectively.

LPG massage has a relaxing effect on the skin and muscles of the treated areas. The rush of blood to the face sometimes causes a slight tingling sensation. Vacuum roller massage cannot be called a conventional mechanical effect on tissue. It has a complex effect on the body. The synthesis of biologically active substances is activated in tissues, microcirculation of blood, lymph, and interstitial fluid is enhanced. Cell activity is stimulated and new capillaries begin to grow.

The method can be combined with many other cosmetic procedures, except contouring, due to the rapid resorption of products injected under the skin. The effectiveness of a full course of LPG massage procedures is comparable to the effect of plastic surgery. Moreover, the technique is safe and comfortable.

Benefits and results of LPG massage

This procedure has been subjected to a large number of clinical trials to win the love of specialists around the globe. Research has revealed the advantages of such manipulations in comparison with similar procedures that are carried out manually.

1. The volume of subcutaneous fat is reduced by almost half, and this process continues even after the end of the course of procedures.
2. The skin becomes denser by about 50%.
3. Quite a noticeable lifting effect.
4. The amount of collagen increases, and the fiber structure is regenerated.

After several sessions of this massage, a lifting effect becomes noticeable.

It has been experimentally established that one procedure is enough to notice such important results:

• the flow of arterial blood increases, enriching tissues with oxygen;
• the outflow of venous blood is normalized, cleansing the body of unnecessary substances;
• lymph flows out more.

In modern cosmetology, this procedure is the only way to influence facial skin using specialized devices, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed in an authoritative certification system for medical technologies and inventions. The popularity of this massage in the beauty industry is quite high.

This procedure is safe and extremely popular.

Differences between lpg facial massage and manual massage

First of all, the basis of LPG massage is a mechanical effect on the skin. Almost all types of massage require applying creams and oils to the face. But not lpg facial massage, for its effective implementation it does not require the application of moisturizing cosmetics to the face.

When performing manual facial massage, it is sometimes difficult to develop tactics so as not to injure or stretch the skin and at the same time achieve the maximum positive effect. The use of LP massage ensures that the device glides gently over the face, promoting delicate tightening of the skin. LPG massage allows the procedure to be carried out in several modes - delicate, relaxing and deep. The choice of mode depends on the characteristics of the skin and its sensitivity.

Features of rejuvenation using LPG therapy

Of course, the event should be held in specialized clinics. Specialists will carefully examine you, answer all your questions, and help you understand the nuances of the procedure. Although some people still buy a special LPG device with a roller and vacuum, which allows them to do massage at home, so as not to spend money on the services of a cosmetologist.

The frequency and duration of procedures are prescribed by a cosmetologist. If a woman is over fifty and has wrinkled and sagging skin, she needs from 15 to 25 events. If you just need to prevent skin aging or the problems are not so significant, ten repetitions of the massage will be enough. Usually one or maximum two procedures per week are enough.

The number of sessions depends on the condition of the facial skin

Note! One session takes approximately half an hour.

When five or six repetitions of the massage have been completed, the so-called “critical period” may occur, which not everyone can cope with. The skin is deprived of almost all water, sags, and forms folds. Naturally, the appearance is quite unpleasant. But if you continue the procedures, you will be able to notice pleasant improvements.

The sensations during the procedure are related to the pain threshold and the operating mode of the device.

When performing a massage, you should slightly raise your head.

The person may experience mild discomfort during the procedure

Make-up is prohibited for several hours after the procedure.

Important! To prevent the effect from disappearing, experts advise doing two or three massages every six months to maintain skin condition.

Remember: if you want to carry out procedures with an LPG machine yourself at home, you need to have some skills. If you choose the wrong operating mode or use the wrong attachment, you may suffer from bruising. So you need to learn how to work with the device, consult with cosmetologists. If you are afraid that you might make a mistake, it is better to visit a cosmetology clinic.

You need to learn how to use such a device before starting procedures at home.

Important! Before the massage, be sure to drink two glasses of clean water, since the procedure affects the removal of moisture from the skin.

Carrying out the procedure at home

Experts advise to carry out massage in salons, trusting a professional in their field. But by purchasing a special device, you can avoid going to specialized institutions and carry out the procedure at home.

The technique used in the salon and at home is identical.

• Cleanse the skin of makeup and impurities.
• Wipe your face with cosmetic tonic or milk.
• The device has several programs. Choose one of them according to your individual preference. But still, cosmetologists recommend starting the procedure with a gentle regime.
• Use light circular movements to move the device along the massage lines. It is necessary to treat the area of ​​the forehead, cheeks and lower part of the face.
• To avoid damaging the delicate skin around the eyes, you should change the device attachment to a special one designed specifically for this area of ​​the face. This area should be worked with soft, progressive movements.
• The massage procedure must be completed by applying a moisturizer suitable for your specific skin type.

Before deciding to carry out the procedure at home, experts advise consulting with cosmetologists.

Indications for the procedure

Fibroblasts are cells that affect the youth of our skin, making it firm and elastic. From the age of 25, the production of collagen and elastin decreases because the cells do not work as actively as before.

The skin of the face is quite delicate, and in response to a lack of these substances, it becomes wrinkled, sags, and its color becomes unhealthy. The procedure we are considering is precisely designed to activate these cells, giving the skin a youthful appearance.

This procedure can be done at any age

Note! This massage can be done at any age.

Massage with LPG machine

The hardware used is considered advanced in the field of cosmetology. A modern LPG massage device was invented based on the features of the basic one.

Modernization and improvement of the classic LPG device took place in Israel. The effect allows you to correct sagging, sagging skin, smooth out stretch marks and wrinkles. The undoubted advantage of the devices is the fairly quick implementation of the procedure and excellent effectiveness.

The LPG massage device is constantly being modernized

Note! Many other methods of hardware cosmetology will allow you to notice any result after several repetitions of the procedure, and an advanced LPG device will provide visible results after a single session.

The advantage of a massage device is that a person does not suffer from pain or bruises. To do this, they use special attachments that act more gently than others. In addition, the device itself allows you to set a gentle program that will not harm the skin.

You can set the settings for each specific client

What types of LPG massage are there?

There are several types of this massage. Each of them is designed to correct the client’s skin imperfections, and they all have their own nuances.

LPG massage with lifting effect

Skin lifting can be done in different ways, and one of the methods is LPG massage. The skin is subjected exclusively to mechanical stress, and it regenerates spontaneously, without the addition of additional substances such as fillers or surgical intervention. In other words, the procedure affects exactly the cause of problems, and not only removes their manifestations. The skin becomes healthier as the work of specialized cells is stimulated.

Thanks to this procedure, you can achieve a lifting effect on the skin of the face and neck.

The desired youthful effect can be achieved quite quickly:

• beautiful facial contours are formed, cheeks and chin are lifted;
• Age-related skin sagging is removed and “gravitational ptosis” is corrected;
• Excess fat in the cheeks and chin area is perfectly removed;
• excess moisture is removed, swelling disappears;
• the skin becomes more elastic.

Important! It is worth noting that the procedure has an effect not only directly on the problem area, but also on the entire body. After such a massage, clients say that they feel relaxed and their emotional background improves.

After the procedure, you can continue to lead your normal lifestyle.

The massage does not provide for a further recovery period, and you also do not need to limit yourself in anything, you can return to your usual way of life.

LPG anti-wrinkle technology

This procedure is recommended for people of all ages to smooth out wrinkles. Massage prevents any changes in the structure of the skin associated with age, and also tightens it well.

With LPG massage you can get rid of wrinkles

The procedure device can cope with the following types of wrinkles.

1. Superficial, similar to a small mesh. In large quantities, they give the skin a parchment structure. They are usually formed due to a lack of moisture in the skin.
2. Medium-deep, touching the middle layer of facial skin. Their formation comes from ignored superficial wrinkles. Collagen fibers are damaged by free radicals, and the formation of “youth cells” is inhibited.
3. Deep, formed with the participation of subcutaneous fat. They are characteristic of natural folds of the skin, for example, in the nasolabial triangle.

Note! If you complete a full course of massage, it is quite possible to completely “erase” surface wrinkles. The number of medium-deep and deep wrinkles is reduced by approximately thirty percent. They become less deep (20%) and not so long (15%).

Of course, you won’t be able to get rid of deep wrinkles in one course of procedures, but you can “erase” superficial ones

In addition, the LPG massage device has a positive effect on the facial muscles and normalizes the blood supply to the tissues. This is very important to prevent the occurrence of gravity wrinkles. Fibroblasts begin to work intensively, producing collagen and elastin. It is worth remembering that a person also develops dynamic wrinkles - a consequence of natural facial expressions. So you need to choose the right method and intensity of the massager - any mistake can worsen the current situation.

LPG equipment in the fight against sagging skin

This skin is not elastic enough and lacks tone. In cosmetology, this problem is called “atonic skin.” The skin is wrinkled, saggy, dry and unhealthy in color. Typically, sagging is affected by decreased tone of the facial muscles, aging processes, genetic predisposition, various diseases, and constant stress.

Using this technique you can make your skin less sagging.

Typically, such a skin deficiency appears around the age of forty, when a lack of elastin and collagen in the body is noted, so it is best to start courses of preventive massage after 25 years. Remember: it is better to prevent any skin imperfections than to try to correct them later.

Note! If you have problems with skin tone, the procedure can reduce the area of ​​the problem area by about 20%.

The skin requires some time to restore its previous properties. Do not be discouraged if, after visiting a cosmetologist once, you do not notice any positive changes - any problems can be solved if you influence them systematically.

You'll have to wait to see significant results.

LPG technology to get rid of acne marks

Post-acne is the result of acne. The skin becomes pathologically thickened and scars appear on it. The color of problem areas may even change. The pores also expand, and a network of blood vessels under the skin is formed. Of course, this spoils a person's appearance.

Such skin cannot be restored - it needs to be renewed. No amount of superficial, smoothing or exfoliating peels will save you. That is, you will have to help the skin renew itself to its previous state.

Using LPG massage you can get rid of acne marks

LPG massage is a great way to solve this problem. Thanks to it, skin renewal processes are activated, the work of “youth cells” is stimulated, which synthesize collagen and elastin - important participants in the process we need.

Collagen is the main factor in skin youth, as it affects its elasticity, firmness, density and turgor. If you regularly use a special device on problem areas, you can do a good job of removing the marks left from acne.

It is worth carrying out the procedure regularly to obtain a lasting effect.

Mechanisms of influence on the body

Cosmetology devices affect the body with microcurrents, radio frequency waves, ultrasound (ultrasound), laser, vacuum, and electroporation. All types of hardware massage strengthen and tighten the skin. The effectiveness of any method depends on the individual characteristics of the epidermis. Sometimes an unexpected reaction occurs from the most gentle manipulations.

You need to start with a specialist to understand how the procedure is tolerated. If the result is positive, you can do hardware facial massage at home, but little skill is required.

Some types of hardware massage will be described below.

Ultrasonic massage

The most popular procedure is lifting. Lymphatic drainage ultrasound massage is a painless and, to some extent, pleasant procedure. It polishes, creating a lifting effect. The skin is smoothed and its condition is delicately improved.

The most important advantages of ultrasound:

• No damage to the skin.
• Suitable for any skin type.
• High efficiency.
• Practically, there are no contraindications.

For facial massage with ultrasound, sound vibrations of high frequency but low power are used. Therefore, ultrasound massage is also practiced on very delicate skin areas (lips, eye area, eyebrows).

The procedure has a positive effect at the cellular level:

• Membrane permeability increases.
• Blood vessels dilate.
• Exchange processes become more intense.
• The pH level improves.
• The functioning of the sebaceous glands gradually returns to normal.
• Lymphatic drainage is activated.

Massage with impulsive currents removes fat deposits and toxins through the lymphatic channels. It deeply affects the skin, stimulating cell reproduction. Fat particles begin to move. Cleansed skin produces collagen and elastin faster. Facial muscles are strengthened, contours are tightened, swelling goes away. The complexion takes on a healthy appearance.

Lymphatic drainage massage is beneficial for almost everyone.

Next, a brief description of popular ultrasound devices for home use will be given.

Gezatone Kus 2K

French device for independent and gentle facial cleansing with micromassage. Ultrasonic frequency - 24 KHz. The device is lightweight and compact.

Using ultrasound with a high-quality cosmetic product, the skin will be cleansed, whitened, and fine wrinkles will be smoothed out. The face will become fresh, young, well-groomed.

Facial cleansing with ultrasonics is compared to a mini-wash. Dead scales and microparticles of dirt are washed away.

Using the Gezatone KUS 2K device, you will have the following results on your skin:

• Deep ultrasonic cleansing, peeling, exfoliation of the stratum corneum.
• The secretion of the sweat and sebaceous glands will liquefy, which makes it possible to easily remove impurities.
• The comedones will disappear.
• Pigment spots will lighten, the skin will gain freshness.
• All layers of the epidermis are supplied with oxygen.
• Ultrasound waves enhance metabolic processes in cells, improving their regeneration.
• Blood flow improves, relieving muscle tension. The appearance of small wrinkles is inhibited.
• Intensive lymphatic drainage will remove swelling.
• The device is safe to use.

Gezatone Ultra-Tonic m115

The device combines two functions:

• Ultrasonic micromassage.
• Electromyostimulation.

It contains a special generator of sound vibrations with high-frequency waves of 1 MHz - that’s a million vibrations in 1 second. Facial massage is done at the cellular level, which makes it possible to delicately manipulate the skin. All systems of the epidermis are included in the work. Spasm of facial muscles, leading to the formation of wrinkles, is removed. The depth of wrinkles will decrease.

Thanks to ultrasound, cosmetics penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, saturating it with useful components. The skin is regenerated and rejuvenated.

Electromyostimulation imitates natural muscle contractions, stimulating muscle function. Systematic use of myostimulation will tighten the facial muscles.

Ultra-Tonic m 115 works in three variations:

• relaxing;
• tonic;
• pumping up flabby muscles.

Systematic use of the device will help you avoid surgical tightening. Small wrinkles are eliminated, muscle spasms go away.

Preparation for the procedure

There is no need to prepare specially for a massage. Usually it is advised to drink two glasses of clean water, and also remove makeup and cleanse the skin of excess oil.

The massage should take place on clean and dry skin. Although sometimes the cosmetologist applies special products to enhance the effect of the massage. The client lies down on a bed or chair facing the ceiling; it is necessary to slightly raise his head. Each area of ​​the face is treated by a specialist for up to fifteen minutes. If the skin is too problematic, it may take longer.

You don’t have to do any special preparation for the procedure.

Note! After the procedure, minor swelling and redness may occur. There is no need to worry - this is a completely adequate skin reaction. These phenomena disappear either after a few hours or after a few days - it all depends on individual characteristics.

You may notice changes in your skin immediately or over time. After the first massage, the result lasts for a couple of days. To maintain it for a long time, a course of procedures consisting of at least ten repetitions of LPG massage is required.

Most often, two massages are performed per week. The duration of exposure and its methods are related to the existing skin deficiency and its severity. An important factor is the person’s age and skin type.

Usually two procedures are performed per week

Note! When you complete the full course of massage, the results will last for about a year.

There is no need to take care of your face after a massage. You can use your usual skincare products, go to the gym, sunbathe - in general, live the way you are used to.

What is hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation

Hardware cosmetology combines rejuvenating and healing manipulations, which are carried out using special equipment. The advantages of this technique include:

• high efficiency;
• impact not only on the superficial layers of the skin, but also on the deep structures, subcutaneous tissue;
• complete absence or low degree of pain during the session;
• almost instantaneous manifestation of positive changes;
• versatility - hardware cosmetology allows you to solve many problems with the skin of the face or body;
• no need for long-term recovery (as after surgery).

The main disadvantages are side effects (most often minor - peeling, swelling, redness), as well as the need for a short rehabilitation period or compliance with certain rules. In addition, there is a high risk of contacting not a professional doctor, but an amateur, whose manipulations can lead to complications. You can learn about the types of facial peels in cosmetology here.

Operating principle, result

Hardware cosmetology is based on the ability of microcurrents, laser beams, light, ultrasound or radio waves to penetrate deep into the skin, followed by stimulation of hidden reserves and activation of regenerative properties. The result of this effect is tightening the contours of the face, smoothing its relief, evening out the tone, eliminating facial or age-related wrinkles, folds, and bags under the eyes. The action of the devices is also aimed at capillary walls and improving microcirculatory processes, which allows you to remove dark circles under the eyes and eliminate signs of hyperpigmentation.

To enhance the effect and prolong its durability, it is recommended to combine traditional cosmetology techniques with hardware methods.

Indications

Hardware lifting techniques can be recommended by a cosmetologist for:

• decreased tone, dullness, aging of the skin;
• the appearance of small wrinkles;
• uneven skin texture;
• aggravation of the severity of existing wrinkles or facial folds, vertical furrows;
• the formation of bruises or bags under the eyes;
• jowls;
• double chin;
• enlarged pores, acne, post-acne;
• rosacea;
• freckles or age-related hyperpigmentation;
• presence of scars, scars, stretch marks.

The main goal of hardware lifting is to regenerate the skin, giving it freshness and elasticity. Therefore, after 25 years, it is possible to carry out preventive procedures that will maintain the normal condition of the skin. You can learn about removing skin tumors in this article.

Despite all its effectiveness, the active influence of hardware devices has a number of contraindications, which include pregnancy with lactation, serious neurological or mental disorders, the presence of chronic pathologies, autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, infectious or oncological processes, and the presence of foreign bodies in the body.

Customer reviews about the procedure

Natalya, Moscow

“I really tried a lot of different cosmetic procedures. What I liked most was the LPG technology. The quick effect is pleasing - the face has become toned, the oval has become more beautiful. And it didn’t take many procedures! Of course, I will repeat this massage so that the results last for a long time.

Maria, St. Petersburg

“I did the LPG massage on the advice of a cosmetologist. I don't have any wrinkles yet, but lack of sleep has significantly worsened the appearance of my face.

I advise you to try this method, just consult a specialist first.”

Katerina, Sergiev Posad

“I still don’t understand what the point of LPG massage is. It seems that I did everything that the specialist told me, I completed the full course. And what happened? Yes, absolutely nothing.

Perhaps I just don’t need this method of rejuvenation yet.”

Note! Often negative reviews about such a cosmetic procedure are probably associated with the use of low-quality equipment in cosmetic clinics.

• forehead, bridge of the nose and eyes,
• cheeks and upper lip area,
• from the lower lip to the décolleté.

On average, 10-15 minutes are allotted for each impact zone, but if there are particularly problematic areas somewhere, more time is given to them.

After endermolifting there are no special care recommendations; usual care creams and products suitable for your skin type will do, you can sunbathe, and physical activity is allowed.

Cost of the procedure

We will indicate the average cost of the procedure in different cities of Russia. Let us clarify that it depends on the specifics of the clinic, the experience and qualifications of the doctor, the equipment used, and the duration of the session. We advise you not to go to clinics and centers where the cost of the procedure is too low - perhaps they do not use a real LPG massage device, but a fake one that will not be able to affect the skin as necessary. Because of this, at best, you will not see any results at all.
