Cosmetologists include the following disadvantages of this type of technology:

• The high cost of a really high-quality massager that can give its owner visible results after 10 sessions, carried out at intervals of 1-3 days. The specific duration of the course and the frequency of the procedure are determined by the initial data of the woman, as well as the type of device itself.
• Although there is officially confirmed data on the cases of the transformation of the skin of the face of women visible after the frequent use of the massager, there is no one manufacturer that gives a guarantee that it will apply to everyone.
• There is a risk of developing side effects, which usually manifest themselves in the form of skin rashes, increased depth of existing wrinkles, and allergic reactions.
• There are some absolute contraindications.

Can everyone do a facial?

The anti-wrinkle face massager is forbidden to be used by people who have at least one contraindication from the list below:

• acute inflammatory diseases of internal organs;
• increased body temperature, regardless of what caused it;
• the presence of benign or malignant neoplasms (the prohibition of using a massager in this case is due to the fact that any stimulation of lymphatic flow and blood flow triggers tumor growth and creates the risk of neoplasm transition from "benign" to "malignant" status);
• diseases of the cardiovascular system (regardless of the complexity of the pathology);
• pregnancy (starting from the first trimester);
• lactation period (facial massage helps remove waste and toxins from the body, which means some of the waste can get into breast milk, which can harm the baby);
• thyroid disease;
• hormonal imbalance;
• dry cough;
• diabetes;
• open skin wounds;
• psoriasis;
• skin rash caused by a viral infection in the body.

If the recommendations of experts are not followed and this type of care procedure is not carried out, a woman risks not only worsening the current condition of her skin, but also affecting her health in general.

If an existing disease is in doubt, it is recommended to consult a physician, dermatologist or certified cosmetologist with medical training. Doctors, in some cases, by ordering additional examinations, will be able to accurately determine whether facial massage at home will harm certain women.

Types of anti-wrinkle massage

Anti-wrinkle facial massagers, depending on their main purpose, can be of several types:

• vacuum.Officially recognized as the most effective in combating wrinkles on aging skin. They are used not only to smooth problem areas, but also to clean the skin. With the regular use of a vacuum massager, a woman will be able to open the pores, "pull out" the impurities that are in them, and then increase the production of collagen and elastin. Absolute contraindications in this case are pregnancy, starting from the first trimester, high blood pressure, kidney pathology, and venous disease.

• Mechanical rollers.They are the simplest design, the principle of operation of which is based on the effect of the mechanical surface on the skin. The device itself usually looks like a solid roller (in some cases there may be several of them) attached to a special handle. The most popular and effective are rollers made of wood, stone or plastic.
• Myostimulators.An electric massager that affects the skin with microwave frequencies. This type of device is very popular because of its operational similarities with salon devices. The advantage of myostimulators also lies in the fact that they not only smooth women's skin, but also remove fat deposits in the cheek area, thereby removing the oval of the face.
• Ultrasonic.The principle of operation of the ultrasonic massager is the penetration of ultrasonic waves into the skin cells, causing their periodic compression and relaxation. As a result of such movements, the skin becomes more elastic, and the amount of collagen and elastin produced by the body independently increases.
• Oxygen.Their effect on human skin is completely painless, but no less effective. This type of device saturates the layers of the skin with oxygen, thereby achieving deep hydration, improving the skin and smoothing facial wrinkles.

Prepare the face for the procedure

Facial massagers designed to help women get rid of wrinkles require certain rules to be followed when preparing the skin before use.

Cosmetologists advise following this algorithm:

1. Remove existing makeup completely.To do this, you need to wipe your face several times with a cotton pad soaked in tonic or micellar water. It is recommended to repeat the application until the cotton is white after treating the face.
2. Apply day or night cream evenly and thinly, depending on the time of day the skin care procedure is performed. Using massage movements, you need to rub the composition until it is completely dry on the skin. If, despite the massage movements, the cream is not completely absorbed, remove the excess with a cotton pad and then wipe the skin dry.

3. Give your skin a break10-15 min.
4. At this time, you need to brew chamomile infusion, fill 2 filter bags with grass with 100 ml of warm water, then let the composition brew.
5. After the specified time has passed, the cotton pad must be moistened with chamomile infusion, and then wipe the face generously.The liquid should be warm. Alternatively, you can make a chamomile compress by placing a gauze soaked in the herbal composition on your face for 10 minutes.

How to use the massager itself

It is necessary to use the facial massager in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and an experienced cosmetologist who has an understanding of the physiological processes that occur in the tissue during exposure to the skin of the massager, regardless of its type.

Among them:

• follow the sequence of actions when using the device directly, recommended by the device manufacturer;
• If the masseur has the option to change the direction of rotation of the nozzle, it is recommended to install it so that the massage movement is always directed from the nose to the side of the face. If a woman uses a hand massager, movements should also be directed from the center of the face to the sides, following the main massage line;
• the duration of the procedure must be increased gradually, starting from 5 minutes, finally moving to a massage that takes 15-20 minutes (if you do the massage for a long time from the first procedure, the risk of mechanical damage to the skin increases);
• The standard course of care procedures is 10-12 sessions, performed every 1-2 days. This period is enough for the skin to fully recover and be ready for further exposure to the massage therapist.

As an assistant in the fight against wrinkles, facial massage is recommended for use after 35-40 years. For young girls, these devices can be useful for others - they shrink pores, stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, and also even out the skin, smoothing acne scars and other rashes.

Understanding how to choose the right face massager, a woman will be able to make not only a useful purchase, but also an economically profitable one (based on the price of 1 home massage session compared to a salon massage).
