Smooth, velvety skin and a delicate oval face have long been considered a symbol of youth and beauty, an ideal that every woman strives for. But time plays against the human body. And we are increasingly upset when we notice the first signs of aging: telltale rays in the corners of the eyes, sagging skin, blurry contours. Unfortunately, withering is a natural and irreversible process. You won't be able to avoid it, but you can stop it. Fortunately, there is a facial massage for wrinkles - a simple but very effective way to prolong health and attractiveness for many years.
The most popular anti-aging methods and techniques
Avicenna also said that mechanical effects on the muscles and skin of the face have a beneficial effect on the body as a whole. The great healer characterized massage as a natural restorative and rejuvenating force. Many years have passed since then, but the healing procedure has not been lost over the centuries; on the contrary, new types and techniques for their implementation have appeared, which are extremely popular today.
Classical technique
based on light stroking and rubbing movements with fingertips or palms, performed strictly along massage lines.
Strong pressure, friction or pulling of the skin is not allowed, so the procedure is comfortable and completely painless. Used at the first signs of aging and as an effective means of preventing age-related skin changes. Under the influence of touch, facial muscles relax, blood flow to the epidermis increases, its nutrition and oxygen supply improves. Cells begin to actively divide, exfoliating the upper dead layer. As a result, the skin looks young and tightened.
Contraindications are inflammatory processes, rashes of various etiologies, hypertension and blood diseases.
Plastic or sculpture massage
In terms of effectiveness, it is compared to surgical lifting and is prescribed for obvious signs of aging - deep expression wrinkles, swollen and sagging skin, blurry contours and even facial asymmetry. In addition to elements of the classical technique, vibrations, strong pressure and fixing movements directed along massage lines or in a circular direction are used here.

The procedure has a pronounced drainage and modeling effect. As a result, the facial muscles are perfectly worked out and the epidermis is regenerated. At the end of the session, the patient's skin is cleansed with lotion, and then a tightening mask is applied. The procedure lasts only 20 minutes, and in 15–20 such sessions the contour will return its former clarity and the skin smoothness.
Japanese anti-aging massage Zogan (“face creation”)
It is aimed at working the deep layers of the epidermis, muscles and even the bones of the skull, therefore it implies intense external influence, which causes some pain in the patient. But it’s worth being patient, as the end result exceeds all expectations: swelling instantly disappears, the skin gets rid of toxins and becomes smoother, muscles are tightened.
Interestingly, this massage is performed standing or sitting in a chair with a perfectly straight back. The movements are strictly directed, while the areas of the lymph nodes are treated softly and smoothly, without strong pressure. The final chord is stimulation of the so-called beauty points to fully achieve the lifting effect.
Lymphatic drainage massage
Lymph, which circulates in the vessels, has the ability to collect and remove harmful substances from the body. If for some reason it stagnates, impurities and toxins accumulate, which negatively affects the skin: swelling, unhealthy color, flabbiness and sagging due to excessive accumulation of fats. By making circular movements and pressing along the massage lines, stroking and beating the skin, we thereby remove intercellular fluid, activate the movement of lymph, and tone the walls of blood vessels.
As a result, the body's metabolic processes are stimulated, water balance is restored, the skin is cleansed and begins to breathe freely, and unevenness is smoothed out. The only problem is a large number of contraindications, including diseases of the skin, heart, blood vessels, lymph nodes and oncology.
Pinch (Jacquet method)
It is considered not only anti-aging, but also a therapeutic facial massage, as it normalizes metabolic processes and blood flow, thereby eliminating various skin problems. This is a rather aggressive procedure, during which painful pinching is used: the massage therapist, with his thumb and forefinger, grabs, squeezes and kneads the deep layers of the epidermis.
This technology has many subtleties, without knowledge of which you can harm the patient, so it is not recommended to carry out the procedure yourself. It is important to remember that such a massage is contraindicated in a number of viral diseases, chronic dermatosis, rosacea and inflammation of the facial nerve.
Acupressure
The first mentions of it date back to the 3rd millennium BC. e. Even then, ancient Chinese healers argued that there are special points on the skin that are directly connected to the internal organs of a person. By stimulating them, you can improve your overall well-being and slow down the aging process. And this is not a myth, but a scientifically proven fact. Using our fingertips or palms, we influence points located in the corners of the eyes, wings of the nose, cheeks and ears. It is believed that such a massage restores normal circulation of vital energy in the human body.
Similar techniques exist in other eastern countries: Thai massage and the famous Japanese shiatsu are especially famous. Their essence also lies in pressing with fingers or palms on active points, of which there are 692 in the human body. Experts say that in this way energy channels are cleared, due to which instant rejuvenation occurs, and calm and tranquility sets in. In addition, this type of exposure is useful for frontal sinusitis, sinusitis and headaches.
Italian massage “Gym” (Jim)
Otherwise called fitness for the face. It trains and tightens muscles in the same way that playing sports improves the human body. The procedure is somewhat painful, since the deep layers of the epidermis are worked through using kneading, pinching, intense pressure and active circular movements. This type of gymnastics is recommended for women over 30 years of age to prevent and correct unwanted changes in the skin and facial contour, as it has a pronounced lifting effect.
In the struggle for youth and beauty, as you know, all methods are good. It is better if you select them together with a specialist who will take into account your preferences and individual characteristics of the body.
It is worth remembering that the addictive effect significantly reduces the effectiveness of rejuvenating massage, so you should resort to it only after 30 years, when there is a real need for the procedure.
