• Improve blood circulation.Not only hardware face massagers normalize blood and lymph flow, but also manual ones, for example, jets or mesoscooters.
• Increasing skin elasticity.This is especially true for meso-scooters, who, with the correct selection of cosmetic products used in combination, can provide a woman at home with a result that is not inferior in quality to the result of a course of salon procedures for a purposesimilar.

• Availability of this type of care.If the cost of a facial simulator is divided by the average number of procedures within a course, the price for 1 session will be at least 2 times lower than the salon price.

• The possibility of getting rid of other skin problems, except for 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:

• The high cost of really high-quality massagers that can give their 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 procedures is determined by the initial data of the woman, as well as by the type of the device itself.
• Despite the presence of officially confirmed data on cases of visible transformation of women's facial skin after regular use of massagers, no single manufacturer offers guarantees that will apply to everyone.
• There is a risk of developing side effects, which usually appear in the form of skin rashes, increased depth of existing wrinkles and allergic reactions.
• There are a number of absolute contraindications.

Can everyone have a facial?

Facial anti-wrinkle massagers are forbidden to be used by people who have at least one contraindication from the following list:

• 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 the massager in this case is due to the fact that any stimulation of the lymphatic flow and blood flow provokes the growth of the tumor and creates the risk of the transition of the neoplasm from "benign" to "malignant" status. );
• diseases of the cardiovascular system (regardless of the complexity of the pathology);
• pregnancy (starting from the first trimester);
• the lactation period (facial massage helps to remove waste and toxins from the body, which means that waste substances can partially pass into breast milk, which can harm the baby);
• thyroid diseases;
• hormonal imbalances;
• tuberculosis;
• diabetes;
• open skin lesions;
• psoriasis;
• skin rashes caused by viral infections of the body.

If the recommendations of specialists are not respected and care procedures of this type are not carried out, a woman risks not only worsening the current condition of her skin, but also negatively affecting her health in general.

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

Types of anti-wrinkle massagers

Facial anti-wrinkle massagers, depending on their main purpose, can be of several types:

• Vacuum.Officially recognized as the most effective in the fight against wrinkles in aging skin. They are used not only to soften problem areas, but also to clean the skin. With the regular use of a vacuum massage, a woman will be able to open the pores, "pull out" the impurities present 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 pathologies and venous diseases.

• Mechanical roller.They are the simplest design, the principle of operation of which is based on a mechanical surface effect 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.Electric massager that touches the skin with microwave frequencies. This type of equipment is particularly popular due to the similarity of its operation to salon equipment. The advantage of myostimulators also lies in the fact that they not only soften a woman's skin, but also eliminate fat deposits in the area of the cheeks, thus bringing out the oval of the face.
• Ultrasonic.The principle of operation of ultrasonic massagers is the penetration of ultrasonic waves into skin cells, provoking their periodic compression and relaxation. As a result of such movements, the skin becomes more elastic and the volume of collagen and elastin produced by the body increases independently.
• 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, thus achieving deep hydration, improving color and smoothing facial wrinkles.

Preparing 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.

Cosmetologists advise to follow this algorithm:

1. Completely remove the existing composition.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 wiping until the cotton becomes white after the facial treatment.
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 dries completely 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. During this time, you need to create a chamomile infusion, fill 2 grass filter bags with 100 ml of warm water, then let the composition brew.
5. After the specified time has passed, a cotton pad should be soaked with chamomile infusion, and then wipe the face generously.The liquid should be warm. Alternatively, you can make a chamomile compress by placing gauze soaked in herbal composition on your face for 10 minutes.

How to use the massager yourself

It is necessary to use a facial massager in full accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer and experienced cosmetologists who have an understanding of the physiological processes that occur in the tissues during exposure to the skin of a massage device, regardless of its type.

Among them:

• follow the sequence of actions when using the device directly, recommended by the device manufacturer;
• If the massager has the possibility of changing the direction of rotation of the nozzle, it is recommended to install it 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 should be increased gradually, starting from 5 minutes, eventually moving to a massage lasting 15-20 minutes (if you do the massage for a long time since 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 sufficient for the skin to fully recover and be ready for further exposure to the massager.

As assistants in the fight against wrinkles, facial massagers are recommended to be used after 35-40 years. For young girls, these devices can be useful for others - they narrow the pores, stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, as well as smooth the skin, softening the 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 purchase (based on the price of 1 home massage session compared to a massagesalon).
