• Smooth out superficial wrinkleslocated on the most sensitive areas of the face. For example, the area under the eyes, eyelids, nasal folds and so on.
• Ensure the deepest penetration of the cosmetic used for the massage process.Cosmetologists recommend using a moisturizing serum, as it not only contributes to the deep nutrition of the skin, but also does not leave an oily sheen after use.
• Eliminate inflammation.Some types of massage devices, which act on the skin with high-frequency signals, remove excess fluid from the deep layers, thus helping to relieve swelling and reduce the size of bruises under the eyes, if they are not caused by the structure of the face.
• Improve blood circulation.Not only mechanical facial massagers normalize blood and lymph flow, but also manual, for example, jade or mesoscooter.
• Increase the elasticity of the skin.This is especially true for mesoscooters, which, with the right selection of cosmetics used in combination, can provide a woman at home with a result that is not inferior in quality to the results of a course on toilet operations for a similar purpose.
• Narrow pores.Especially suitable for those with oily skin.
• Saturate the skin with oxygen.Oxygenated skin has an even tone and is not sensitive to pigmentation and breakouts.

Facial massagers for wrinkles, like other forms of skin care, have their pros and cons.

The positive aspects of such inventions are:

• Possibility to perform operations at home, regardless of your current financial situation, focusing on your temporary capacity. This point is especially important for women who, due to life circumstances, are forced to spend most of their waking hours at work.
• A range of facial massagers available.This allows every woman, regardless of financial ability, to choose a device that suits her needs.

• Ease of use for the type of device in question.To give herself a massage, a woman does not need to have special knowledge in the field of medicine or cosmetology, since the manufacturer has detailed instructions with his device, after studying, anyone can perform the treatment.
• Availability of this type of care.If the cost of facial simulation is divided by the average number of procedures within one course, the price for 1 session will be at least 2 times lower than the salon price.
• Ability to completely stop injecting botulinum toxin over timeor other "beauty injections" that are officially recognized as potentially dangerous to women's health.
• Possibility of getting rid of other skin problems, as well as the presence of wrinkles. For example, reduce the number of rashes or narrow pores, eliminate oily shine.

Cosmetologists include the following disadvantages of this type of technology:

• High cost of really high quality massagers that can give their owner visible results after 10 sessions, done 1-3 days apart. The specific length of the course and frequency of operations is determined by the woman's initial data, as well as the type of device itself.
• Although there are officially confirmed cases of visible transformation of women's facial skin after regular use of massagers, not one manufacturer provides guarantees that would apply to everyone.
• There is a risk of side effects, which most often appear in the form of skin rashes, an increase in the depth of existing wrinkles and allergic reactions.
• There are a number of absolute contraindications.

Can everyone get a facial?

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 tumors (the ban on using massage devices in this case is because any stimulation of lymph flow and blood flow stimulates tumor growth and creates the risk of the tumor changing from a "benign" to a "malignant" state);
• diseases of the cardiovascular system (regardless of the complexity of the pathology);
• pregnancy (from the first trimester);
• breastfeeding (facial massage helps to remove waste and toxins from the body, which means that waste products can partially pass into breast milk, which can harm the baby);
• thyroid disorders;
• hormonal imbalance;
• tuberculosis;
• diabetes;
• open skin lesions;
• psoriasis;
• skin rash caused by viral infections in the body.

If the recommendations of experts are not followed and care methods of this type are not carried out, a woman risks not only worsening the current condition of her skin, but also having a negative effect on her health in general.

If there is any doubt about an existing disease, it is recommended to consult a doctor, dermatologist or an approved cosmetologist with medical training. Doctors, in some cases, by ordering an additional examination, will be able to determine exactly whether a facial massage at home will harm a particular woman.

Types of anti-wrinkle massagers

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

• A vacuum.Officially recognized as the most effective in the fight against wrinkles on aging skin. They are used not only to smooth out problem areas but also to cleanse the skin. With regular use of a vacuum massager, a woman will be able to open the pores, "pull out" the impurities contained in them and then increase the production of collagen and elastin. Absolute contraindications in this case are pregnancy, from the 1st trimester of pregnancy, high blood pressure, kidney diseases and venous diseases.

• Mechanical roller.They are the simplest design, the principle of operation based on the mechanical surface effect on the skin. The device itself usually looks like a solid roller (in some cases there may be several) attached to a special handle. The most popular and effective are rollers made of wood, stone or plastic.
• Muscle stimulants.An electric massager that affects the skin with micro-frequency. This type of device is particularly popular because of its device-like operation. The advantage of muscle stimulants also lies in the fact that they not only smooth out the woman's skin, but also eliminate fatty deposits in the cheek area, thus highlighting the oval face.
• Ultrasonic.The principle of using ultrasonic massagers is the penetration of ultrasonic waves into skin cells, which causes their regular compression and relaxation. As a result of such movements, the skin becomes more elastic and the volume of collagen and elastin produced independently by the body increases.
• Oxygen.Their effect on human skin is absolutely painless, but no less effective. This type of device saturates the layers of the skin with oxygen and thereby achieves deep moisture, improves complexion and smooths 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 using them.

Beauticians advise following this algorithm:

1. Completely remove existing makeup.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 drying until the cotton pad is white after facial treatment.
2. Apply day or night cream evenly and thinly, depending on what time of day the skin care procedure is performed. Using massaging movements, you need to massage the composition until it dries completely on the skin. If the cream, despite massaging movements, is not completely absorbed, remove the excess with a cotton pad and then dry the skin.

3. Give your skin a rest10-15 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 mixture brew.
5. After the specified time has passed, a cotton pad must be moistened with chamomile infusion and then the face should be thoroughly dried.The liquid should be hot. Alternatively, you can make a chamomile compress by placing a gauze pad soaked in the herbal mixture on your face for 10 minutes.

How to use the massager yourself

It is necessary to use facial massagers in strict accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer and experienced beauticians who understand the physiological processes that occur in tissues when exposed to the skin of a massager, regardless of its type.

Among them:

• follow the sequence of actions when using the device directly, recommended by the manufacturer of the device;
• If the massager has the possibility to change the rotation direction of the nozzle, it is recommended to set it up so that the massage movements are always directed from the nose to the sides of the face. If a woman uses a hand massager, movements should also be directed from the center of the face to the edges, in accordance with the main massage lines;
• The duration of the procedure must be increased gradually, from 5 minutes, eventually moving to a massage that lasts 15-20 minutes (if you do the massage for a long time after the first procedure, the risk of mechanical damage to the skin increases);
• The usual 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 massager.

As assistants in the fight against wrinkles, it is recommended to use face massagers after 35-40 years. For young girls, these devices can be useful for others - they tighten pores, stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, and also even out the complexion, smoothing out traces of acne and other rashes.

By 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 (considering the price of 1 home massage session compared to massage in a salon).
