Myofascial Massage

Myofascial facial massage

Myofascial facial massage is the most effective technique when working with the muscle and fascial layer since it is the muscles of the face that perform the frame function. Restoration of healthy muscle tone gives a smoothing effect on the face.

Fascia is a kind of frame of our body, a shell of dense connective fibers that permeate the entire human body. By acting on them, you can erase the traces of time from the face, making a person visually younger by about 5 years. It is the muscles that are the point of application of stress. Having worked each facial muscle separately, psychoemotional blocks are removed.

This massage is recommended for weakening and age-related drooping of facial tissues. Buccal techniques restore tone to facial tissues. 

During the massage, not only the blood flow is stimulated, but also an unusual training of the facial muscles is carried out, which regain the lost strength and elasticity. As a result, you will get rid of mimic wrinkles and nasolabial folds, the skin will become softer, healthier, and brighter. Buccal techniques are also very effective for the double chin.

What is Myofascial Facial Massage?

Myofascial facial massage involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching techniques applied to the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. The goal is to release restrictions and improve the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid, promoting healing and relaxation.
