General rules
To fully enjoy the results and avoid unpleasant consequences from the procedure, follow certain rules:
- Study the indications and contraindications for the procedure. If there are factors and restrictions for massage, it is better to refuse it and choose another, safe option.
- Master the massage technique, the order of movements during the session, if you decide to perform it at home. It is ideal to attend a master class from a professional.
- Take care to sanitize your hands, because they come into contact with your face.
- Do not deviate from the massage lines, watch the pressure applied so as not to stretch the weakened skin.
- Creams and natural oils are used for massage. Do an allergy test first to avoid irritation or rashes during the session.
- Periodically alternate massage techniques to avoid getting used to this procedure. Masters recommend that after 2 weeks of therapy you begin to alternate fast movements with slow ones.
- Movements should be circular, gentle, along massage lines.
- Massage movements are repeated 2–5 times at first, in subsequent sessions the number of repetitions is gradually increased to 10.
Types of massage
The treatment is usually done by hand, but mechanical massage devices are sometimes used in beauty salons or spas. Popular procedures in beauty salons for non-surgical facelift include different types of massage:
- The most popular is sculptural 3D massage - it is also called “French 3D massage” or simply “sculptural massage”. The essence of the procedure is a soft, deep treatment of the facial muscles, skin and underlying tissues. A small amount of oil or lotion is often applied to ease movement on sensitive areas of the face. The procedure is performed by a specialist without the help of improvised means: the master’s hands begin to move from the neck and chin to the upper part of the face, stroking, kneading and rubbing the tissues. Special attention is paid to the cheekbones and chin to form clear contour lines. In these areas, massage movements are performed a little more energetically. Gradually reaching the hairline, the massage therapist changes the direction of movement in the opposite direction. Sculptural massage largely overlaps with facial exercise techniques called face-forming (face-building). Recommended frequency of French massage: 1 time per week for significant age-related changes; and 2 times a month for mild age-related manifestations. The results of the massage procedure are comparable to regular exercises of a special gymnastics complex for training the facial muscles, which is called face-forming (face-building).
- Japanese Asahi massage is a deeper treatment of the facial muscles and lymphatic system. The movements are performed with considerable force and pressure, which can sometimes cause slight discomfort or pain. This type of massage is not suitable for everyone.
- Acupressure, or acupressure, is also part of oriental therapy and is based on the stimulation of biologically active points on the face, which are projections of internal organs. In the East, it is believed that pressing and stimulating these points releases Qi, or life energy. The impact on such points is carried out with the pads of the index and middle fingers and consists of light pressure and circular movements clockwise. It is important to stay at one point for 10–15 seconds.
- stimulation of points under the eyes (projection of the kidneys) - relieves irritation and eye tension;
- stimulation of the area under the cheekbones (projection of the stomach) - relieves nasal congestion;
- stimulation of the corners of the mouth (projection of the colon) - relieves general stress and tension;
- stimulation of the point between the lower lip and chin (projection of the pelvic organs) - relieves tension in the face and lip area;
- stimulation of the inner corners of the eyes (projection of the kidneys) - eliminates headaches and stress.
Stimulation of biologically active points of the face provides both cosmetic and therapeutic effects
According to experts, the effect of manual massage is not inferior to similar hardware procedures, such as LPG massage, performed by a special device developed by LPG Systems. This device provides a vacuum and vibration effect on skin folds, a tightening effect, improved blood and lymph circulation, and stimulates the production of collagen in the body - a protein that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. The therapeutic effect of the procedure also consists in cell renewal and the growth of the capillary network, which nourishes the skin with useful substances.

Massage lines
Any cosmetic procedure requires that movements of the hands or a mechanical device on the face must be performed in a certain direction. If you massage your face chaotically and haphazardly, an undesirable effect of stretching the skin may occur. As a result, instead of rejuvenation, the face will “sink” even more. In this case, massage lines of minimal stretching of the skin serve as a guide. By performing a massage in the indicated directions, you can not be afraid of disturbing the oval of your face or developing new wrinkles. Where are the massage lines located and in what direction should different parts of the face be massaged?
Facial massage lines are the lines of least stretch of the skin, in the direction of which it is recommended to perform any cosmetic procedures
- Forehead: horizontal movements start from the center and continue towards the temples, vertical movements - from the eyebrows to the hairline.
- Cheeks: massage is carried out along arched lines from bottom to top - from the wings of the nose to the edges of the face, from the corners of the lips to the tragus of the ears. Any movements in the area of the cheeks and cheekbones must be carried out as carefully as possible, slightly lifting the skin.
- Nose: movements start from the tip and move up the back of the nose, then down to the wings of the nose.
- Chin: massage lines diverge from the center to the sides in a semicircle, following the contour of the face.
- Eyes: massage of the upper eyelid is carried out with delicate touches and superficial sliding of the fingertips from the inner corner of the eye to the outer; massage of the lower eyelid - from the outer to the inner corner.
Technique for performing lifting massage at home
The technique of performing manual sculptural massage is based on soft sliding along the massage lines of the face. Hand movements should be stimulating, but at the same time gentle and careful so as not to stretch the skin. Pressing movements should be directed upward to lift the facial muscles, and not to aggravate their sagging. The classic technique of European facial tightening massage includes the following steps:
- Before starting the procedure, you must thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water and wipe dry.
- Sit comfortably on a couch or any horizontal surface. If you have contact lenses, they must be removed. Remove hair from your face using an elastic band or a cosmetic cap.
- Using a small amount of cleanser (lotion, micellar water, cosmetic milk) and cotton pads, cleanse your face of makeup and any impurities. A small amount of cream, lotion or oil is applied to the face and neck area.
- Start the procedure by stroking your neck with your palms from bottom to top (8-10 times).
- To eliminate a double chin: press the back of your hand to the bottom of your chin and, with moderate pressure, make intense sliding movements alternately with your right and left hands (10-15 times).
To eliminate or prevent a double chin, intensive sliding movements are used with the back of the hand along the lower part of the chin.
- Place the index and middle fingers of both hands on the middle of the chin perpendicular to the lip line and, using stroking movements and light pressure, massage the lower part of the face along the massage lines (10 times).
- To smooth out nasolabial folds, with light pressure, knead the area from the corners of the lips to the wings of the nose (10–12 times) with circular movements of your index fingers.
- The cheekbones are worked like this: with the edge of the thumb, with pressure, describe a semicircle under the cheekbones - from the wings of the nose to the ears.
- To relieve swelling of the eyelids: stroking and tapping movements with the pads of the index and middle fingers are made along the massage lines around the eyes (12 times).
- The forehead is massaged from the middle to the temples with the backs of the palms, using sliding movements (8 times). Second technique: placing your thumbs next to each other in the center of the forehead, perpendicular to the line of the eyebrows, with light pressure, move them towards the temples - this smooths out the wrinkles between the eyebrows (12 times).
You can not be afraid to perform the technique for smoothing wrinkles between the eyebrows with moderate effort.
- At the end, with careful movements of the thumb and forefinger, they knead the rims of the ears, which is very relaxing and pleasant. Massage the area of the scalp above the forehead with the fingers of both hands.
- At the end of the procedure, the face is cleansed of the massage product using a cotton pad and lotion or tonic. You can apply nourishing cream to a clean face.
The skin is noticeably smoother after just 1–2 sessions of sculptural massage
One procedure from start to finish takes no more than 30–40 minutes.

What effect to expect
Lifting facial skin massage is a kind of gymnastics, muscle training, only passive. The benefits of massage movements for the skin are multifaceted - these are:
- reduction of swelling due to increased circulation of lymph and blood;
- the appearance of a healthy, even complexion due to the enrichment of epidermal cells with oxygen;
- stimulation of intensive production of natural collagen and hyaluronic acid;
- increased tone and fiber turgor;
- the skin becomes more elastic, this is accompanied by a lifting effect;
- deep wrinkles are partially smoothed out, and small ones disappear altogether;
- normalization of metabolic processes in skin cells, strengthening them - this way they more actively fight infection, so inflammatory processes and acne fade away; As a result, the skin is resistant to new skin diseases;
- strengthening the facial muscles, which prevents early skin aging and the development of ptosis.
Interesting fact! Massage helps to quickly restore the patient’s emotional state after suffering stress. It has been proven that during the procedure the body relaxes and accelerated synthesis of endorphin (“the hormone of happiness”) occurs.
Preparing for the session
Preparation for a classic modeling facial massage includes the following steps:
- The patient sits comfortably in the cosmetology chair and relaxes.
- A special bandage is placed on the head to secure the hair so that it does not interfere during the procedure.
- The specialist cleanses the skin of decorative cosmetics and other contaminants and removes dead skin cells using peeling.
- Before the manipulations, the cosmetologist-massage therapist lubricates the face with massage oil or cream, selected taking into account the individual characteristics and needs of the skin. This is necessary not only to improve gliding, but also to nourish the epidermis, since massage products contain useful substances, vitamins, and elements.
After all the preparatory manipulations, the master proceeds directly to the massage, observing all the stages and techniques of the individually selected type of procedure.
Contraindications
Massage, like any other manipulation, has a number of contraindications that need to be dealt with.
The first thing you should pay attention to is inflammatory skin diseases. These include even banal papules and inflamed acne. Exacerbation of acute chronic inflammatory diseases such as herpes is also one of the contraindications.
Massage should not be done for any unhealed skin injuries. During the procedure, you can get infected or lead to even more injury.
Do not perform a massage in combination with other cosmetic procedures, as most of them involve microtrauma to the skin. Strong pigmentation may form. This is not relevant for all procedures, so detailed information should be obtained from a cosmetologist in advance.
During a massage session, you need to be especially careful with nevi and other skin formations. Although the effect of trauma on the risk of developing malignant degeneration has not been proven, it is still better not to risk your own health.
Advantages and disadvantages of facial lifting massage
The advantages of the procedure are obvious and undeniable:
- painlessness and safety - unlike injections, some hardware procedures or surgical interventions;
- versatility and simplicity of techniques - procedures can be performed by a salon specialist or at home;
- visible effect after 1 session - the massage is performed in a course, but the peculiarity of this technique allows you to enjoy a noticeable result after the first session of the procedure;
- no need for recovery (as after surgical lifting)
- affordable cost of the procedure.
Lifting massage allows you to rejuvenate your face without the use of invasive lifting methods
The procedure is usually painless and causes only positive emotions. But the degree of intensity of the efforts made may differ among different masters. Like any cosmetic procedure, lifting massage has its disadvantages:
- the next day (after the first procedure) the facial muscles may ache, like the body after fitness;
- too intense an impact on the facial muscles can provoke their excessive tone and the effect of a “haggard face”.
If a woman is planning her first visit to a cosmetologist-massage therapist and her face has not previously been subjected to such procedures, then it makes sense to insist on using gentle techniques with little effort, at least for the first few sessions.
