In pursuit of beauty and eternal youth, girls resort to various procedures, often without thinking about the possible harm hidden behind the external result. Recently, many cosmetologists advise their patients to choose the most gentle care procedures and products. In connection with this trend, ultrasonic facial massage has become popular, which in the field of cosmetology is often called phonophoresis or ultra-phonophoresis. What is it, how much does it cost, what do professionals and visitors say about such a massage? You will find answers to all these questions below.
What is this procedure
Ultrasound has long been used in cosmetology. With its help, specialists have been performing lifting, superficial peeling, lymphatic drainage and many other procedures for many years. Ultrasound has an anti-inflammatory effect, has a positive effect on the subcutaneous tissue and facial muscles, frees the skin from dead cells, allowing beneficial substances to penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis.
All these beneficial properties of ultrasound are used in facial massage: the skin becomes smoother, tighter, and better perceives the effects of creams and masks. It is for this reason that specialists often combine ultrasonic facial massage with other care procedures using cosmetics.
For a positive and noticeable effect, it is necessary to carry out at least five to six procedures. An ultrasound massage course most often takes 12 sessions. It is best to schedule appointments with a cosmetologist so that you can visit him at least two to three times a week. Suitable for any skin type, which is its undoubted advantage over many other procedures: it is used for both acne-prone teenage skin and wrinkled skin of older women.
Lymphatic drainage massage - reviews
And of course, to understand whether facial lymph massage really works, read the reviews.
Natalya , everyone notices changes on the face: the skin loses tone, the oval of the face seems to be blurred. These are, to put it mildly, unpleasant changes. Whatever you cover it up with, no cosmetics will hide it. I can't constantly go to salons and do expensive procedures. So, making an effort to try to maintain freshness and youth at home is very important for me.
Svetlana : I massaged my face at home. In the video, the girl does not put much pressure on her face, but this massage involves massaging with the entire palm. I did it conscientiously: my face was swollen, my cheeks seemed to be puffed out, there were puffiness and dark circles under my eyes. Maybe this is all because I did it wrong?
Margarita : I decided that it was time to start changing something in my face when I noticed: tired skin, swelling. I started looking for techniques and techniques for facial massage. I found Zogan. I liked the video because of its quality and the fact that the creator of this method herself demonstrates how to do everything correctly. She looks simply stunning.
Lyudmila : Two folds appeared from the nose to the lips. I'm 25 and this really spoils my youthful face. I really hated these folds. I fought them with creams for 2 years and nothing. I had already resigned myself, and then I started doing this massage. The result after a week pleasantly shocked me.
Alla : My husband downloaded this video for me. I watched, studied additional videos and began performing daily lymphatic drainage facial massage at home. It's really nice. I had a massage in the morning - it invigorates. The feelings are interesting, as if my face is clay from which I mold whatever I want.
How is ultrasonic facial massage performed?
This procedure is absolutely painless. The cosmetologist performs an ultrasonic massage with a special device, which, using ultrasonic waves, penetrates the skin to a depth of seven centimeters.
At the very beginning of this massage, the specialist will cleanse the skin of makeup and external impurities. Then he will either steam the skin or perform a gentle peeling - these measures will greatly increase the effectiveness of ultrasound. Next, the cosmetologist will select a product that will promote deeper penetration of ultrasonic waves.
After all the preparatory steps, the master will begin to gently move over the face with a special device: movements should be smooth, progressive, preferably so that contact with the skin is not interrupted. At the end of the procedure, a nourishing, moisturizing or antibacterial mask is applied to the face, depending on the result you want to achieve.
Vacuum facial massage technique
To get the effect and not harm your health, it is recommended to adhere to the correct technique when performing a vacuum facial massage. If you make mistakes, you can leave bruises and other imperfections on the skin.
Before you start doing facial massage with vacuum cups, you need to cleanse your skin of cosmetics and impurities. For this, standard cosmetic products are used, such as facial wash, gels, lotions or regular soap. Wash your face with cool water. The muscles must first be warmed up by applying oil or cream to the surface of the skin.
When the preparatory steps are completed, you can begin performing a vacuum cupping facial massage. It needs to be done along certain lines. The jar sticks to the skin and moves smoothly along a given path.
During a forehead massage, movements are performed from the central part to the temporal region, and then from the eyebrows to the hairline. In this case, jars of sizes 22 and 33 mm are used (first large, then small). Massage lines also run along the eyebrows. Do not massage the eyelid area.
To work on the chin area, vacuum jars of 33 and 22 mm are used. For the perioral zone, a container measuring 22 mm is used.
To correct the oval of the face, a 33 mm can is used. Massage lines run from the nose, lips to the cheekbone, reaching the auricle.
The treatment of the wings of the nose is carried out with an 11 mm vacuum jar. Massage lines along the nose are containers with a diameter of 22 mm. Working on the temporal area (from the outer tip of the eyebrows down along the temple) – 22 mm jar.
Movement along each massage line is performed about 4 times. As you get used to it, the duration of the procedure should be increased to 15 minutes. 3-4 sessions per week are enough, but for minor problems you can get by once a week.
Indications for use
Ultrasonic facial massage can be an excellent weapon in the fight against wrinkles. It works especially well on facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds.
Also, do not forget that ultrasound itself has an antiseptic effect, which greatly helps in the treatment of acne and post-acne, especially in combination with antibacterial agents.
Ultrasonic massage is also good in cases where there are scars, dermatitis or pigmentation on the face. The same applies to the treatment of allergic reactions to various irritants.
Ultrasound is also used as part of a comprehensive treatment for problems such as a double chin and aging and dull skin. True, before doing an ultrasonic facial massage, you need to understand that it is not able to radically solve the issue. The main elements of therapy will be the transition to a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle in general.
Last, but not least, the reason for prescribing ultrasound massage is rehabilitation after plastic surgery.
