How to use different types of massagers

application
When choosing a massager, determine your skin type and purpose of use. This will help you choose the right model.

The roller massager acts mechanically. Its rollers (stone, plastic, wooden) will provide lifting - tightening and elasticity of the skin. The properties of the material from which the massager is made also add a positive effect. Jade rollers are especially prized.
The myostimulator also provides tightening, eliminates facial wrinkles, and improves blood flow. This device can compete with salon procedures, but there may be discomfort when using it.
Pulse works on the principle of electrophoresis, improves blood circulation, accelerates metabolic processes.
Ionic releases negatively and positively charged ions. As a result, the skin is tightened and cleansed.
The vacuum massager not only fights wrinkles, but also pores, removes blackheads, and relieves inflammation on the skin. A fresh look and clear oval face are guaranteed.
Oxygen saturates the epidermis with oxygen, improves metabolic processes, the skin looks healthy and radiant. Preserves the oval of the face and neck lines;
Ultrasonic smoothes the surface, stimulates the production of collagen in the epidermis. It will help get rid of small post-acne scars and stretch marks. Ultrasound compresses cells, so expect a lifting effect.
Infrared is often used on the skin around the eyes. It guarantees the reduction of facial wrinkles and the elimination of pigmentation.
Laser improves metabolism, complexion, and provides lifting even after one use. During the massage, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are produced.

In which direction should you move the device?

IMPORTANT! You can’t just move the device across your face in different directions! Learn the directions of the massage lines - this will help you achieve the desired result from the procedures.

Make movements from bottom to top to tighten the skin.
Movements to the temples are made from the nose, from the center of the forehead, from the inner corners of the eyes;
To the ears - movements from the chin, from the lips.
For the T-zone, use a special attachment.
Massage the nose and wings of the nose last.

Advice. Use the massager gently to avoid stretching the skin. Do not massage one area for more than one minute.

The first procedure takes no more than five minutes. If the body reacts well and there is no redness, next time you can increase the massage time to 10-15 minutes.
