The effect of facial chiromassage

How is facial chiromassage performed?

The duration of one session can be from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the problems of the facial skin. First of all, the specialist gets acquainted with the patient’s health status, finds out the type and needs of the skin, as well as the client’s wishes. Chiromassage is performed on a cosmetic chair and includes the following stages:

skin;
applying special oil or cream for massage;
chiromassage;
applying a moisturizing or nourishing cream.

The chiromassage procedure resembles a certain ritual - this massage is characterized by smooth movements of the hands, as if performing a dance. In terms of its effects, it can be compared with gymnastics for the face, but only passive, because... Thanks to the chiromassage technique, the muscles begin to work at full strength.

Spanish chiromassage does not provide clear rules for the use of certain techniques, which allows each specialist to perform them at their own discretion, based on the needs of the skin. In addition, it is recommended to change the massage pattern from session to session to avoid adaptation to tactile influences and to obtain the best possible result.

Depending on the condition of the skin and the age of the client, chiromassage can be performed with the pads of the fingers, the fingers themselves, the base of the palm, and sometimes the forearms and elbows. The following basic techniques and movements can be distinguished in the chiromassage technique:

Recently, to improve the condition of the skin on the face, a new technique has been used in beauty salons and at home - Spanish facial massage. This procedure allows you to ensure proper lymph flow, minimize wrinkles, eliminate skin texture and form a muscle roll. We recommend that you try it too, but in order to perform high-quality facial chiromassage, you will need to complete video training and follow our advice.

Indications for use

Many women wonder what Spanish or facial chiromassage is. We will satisfy their curiosity. These concepts are one and the same. Spanish reaffirming facial massage combines various practices that are based on the knowledge of European, American and Oriental schools of massage. The effect on the skin is carried out using hands, which in the East are called “hiro”. This is where the second name of the technique comes from.

The Spanish massage technique helps not only to cleanse the skin, but also to eliminate numerous problems on the face, making it more attractive and well-groomed. By performing this procedure, you can improve your health, since when exposed to the epidermis, toxins are removed through the sebaceous glands.

Chiroplastic facial massage is indicated for:

formation of facial wrinkles;
age after 30 years;
the appearance of dark circles under the eyes;
the desire to make the oval of the face clearer and the cheekbones more pronounced;
insomnia and depression;
the appearance of edema;
formation of a double chin;
rosacea;
sagging skin of the face and neck.

Interesting point. Although chiromassage is otherwise called Spanish, in fact it combines various practices: Egyptian, Indian and oriental massages. Doctor from Spain Enrique Garcia managed to combine various movements in one complex, supplementing them with manual therapy. Since the doctor was a leading specialist in the famous Spanish school of massage, his technique began to be called Spanish throughout the world.

During chiromassage, various layers of the skin are affected:

epidermis;
circulatory system;
lymph flow;
muscles;
subcutaneous fat tissue.

The basis of this technique is the complete peace of the patient. No painful sensations - only complete relaxation and pleasure.

Efficiency of the procedure

This massage technique has proven itself positively. After completing the course, users note:

removal of toxins by improving microcirculation, which helps smooth the epidermis and acquire a beautiful, even color;
eliminating bags under the eyes, because it affects the channels through which lymph passes;
skin tightening, which is facilitated by pumping up some facial muscles;
double chin care, because active movements help break down fats in the problem area;
smoothing of pronounced nasolabial folds;
excellent cleansing of the skin from the stratum corneum, so it does not become oily or flaky;
minimizing wrinkles;
lip enlargement;
a pleasant mood after each massage session.

Of course, you can master such a technique on your own, but there is no guarantee that you will make the correct movements. If you want to receive a correctly performed massage, make an appointment with a specialist who is fluent in this technique. Remember, the Spanish method is quite complex and involves memorizing numerous manipulations.

Execution Rules

Chiromassage involves a successful symbiosis of several practices: yoga, Buddhist relaxation massage, manual therapy and Indian medicine. In some salons, craftsmen use stones and feathers.

Features of Spanish massage:

universal action, which is aimed at distributing lymph flow, pumping up muscles, breaking down the fat layer and improving microcirculation;
the impact can be made in various ways - with the knuckles, the edge of the palm, the pads of the fingers, the entire palm, the arm from the wrist to the elbow;
intense pressure in this technique is unacceptable, movements should be smooth and relaxing;
the same technique cannot be repeated more than twice;
activation of nerve endings at the back of the head helps to relax the entire body, in particular the facial muscles.

Important point! Due to the fact that during a Spanish massage each movement is not performed several times, the skin does not have time to get used to the massage, and therefore becomes sensitive to every touch. Thus, unlike other techniques, the dermis does not get used to the massage at all, which affects its effectiveness.

Basic Rules:

Movements must be carried out strictly along the massage lines so that the lymph flows correctly through the channels.
The manipulations are performed smoothly, without haste, because the patient should feel real relaxation.
Warming is carried out with the fingers and palms.
The eyelid area is very sensitive, so the intensity of pressure in this area should be minimal.
Various effects on the skin should be applied - tapping, pinching, pressure, vibration.
After the procedure, it is recommended to apply a healing mask, apply an anti-aging cream or distribute a serum with a lifting effect on the face. Beforehand, remove any remaining oil used by blotting with a dry towel.

Preparatory stage

Regardless of which Spanish massage technique you choose, Before carrying out the procedure, be sure to cleanse your face of any remaining makeup. When performing self-massage, you can try holding your face in a water bath to steam it with herbal decoctions and open the pores. Also remember to cleanse the neck, back of the head and shoulders. Such manipulations are extremely necessary, because during movements, various bacteria and microorganisms can spread throughout the skin and penetrate deeply into its layers, which will only worsen the situation.

Some cosmetologists apply a special antiseptic compress for 5–10 minutes. As a rule, sage, chamomile, and string are brewed. The temperature of the decoction used should not be very high - 35–45 degrees.

The dermis is then coated with oil to make the hands glide better over the skin. The movements cannot be strong, because preliminary relaxation of the muscles is required. That's why we recommend using:

aroma oils;
yoga;
classical music;
lit candles.

During the massage, the master reaches the bone tissue through special kneading.

Types of massage

There are various massage techniques. As a rule, during the treatment, not only the face is involved, but also the neck, the back of the head (withers), the décolleté and even the shoulder girdle up to the elbow.

Once you have thoroughly relaxed your muscles, begin the lymphatic drainage massage. To do this, use your fingertips. Along the massage lines, which start from the center to the periphery, the cheeks, chin, forehead, lower and upper eyelids are worked in small dashes. First, they activate the skin areas on the cheeks, then move to the eye area, then proceed to the forehead, and smoothly move down along the oval of the face to the chin area.
A facelift is performed using smoothing techniques.
Finally, you can close the pores by rubbing ice cubes made with a herbal decoction over the skin.

Activate the lymph nodes on the neck by stroking from bottom to top.
Warm up the face: in the area of the neck and cheeks the movements should be tonic, and in the forehead area - relaxing. The master performs them in parallel or crosswise.
After warming up each individual zone, it is immediately worked out with more active movements in order to distribute the lymph through the channels and prevent swelling.
To improve turgor in the cheek area, pinching is done.
Relax the neck, forearm and back of the head, combining movements with the palm and fingers.

Neurosedative facial massage

This technique is used to normalize the functioning of the nervous system, eliminate stress, apathy and insomnia. It was developed in the famous Spanish school of massage. It involves influencing the points responsible for the functioning of the central nervous system. Sometimes during the procedure a person falls into a state of drowsiness, which is associated with a change in the activity of the hemispheres.

Interesting point. Light monotonous movements are very relaxing. Kinetic trance, relaxing passes and simultaneous stroking of the limbs awaken tactile sensations in a person, as if the first touch of a mother.

When to expect results

The number of sessions is selected by the massage therapist strictly on an individual basis. This is influenced by problem areas, the number of nerve endings, and the patient’s age. The procedure is allowed to be carried out no more than 3 times a week, the minimum number of sessions in one course is 7. After two months, you can repeat the anti-aging therapy again.

At the age of 25 to 30 years, one course of massage per year will be quite enough. As soon as you overcome the 30-year mark, you need to seek the help of a specialist twice a year.

The duration of one procedure varies from 30 to 120 minutes, taking into account the age and problems of the client. When performing a massage at home, it is recommended to take a ten-day daily course lasting 20 minutes.

Cost of one session

It is believed that after a course of procedures, the effect of massage lingers for several months., so paying for a chiromassage course is a profitable investment in your beauty. Since the Spanish massage technique is very difficult to repeat at home, the salon will charge an average of 2000–2500 rubles for one procedure.

But for women who are inclined to experiment with their bodies, you can try massage yourself. To do this, you should watch a couple of videos of different techniques and choose the most optimal one for yourself. Learn to feel your face, and then even without special courses you will be able to comprehend the basics of Spanish massage.

Precautionary measures

This type of massage has very few contraindications. They come down to various skin problems:

eczema and dermatitis;
neoplasms, as well as papillomas and moles;
herpes;
wounds and microcracks;
allergic rash;
inflamed acne.

It is also not recommended to carry out the procedure during and after acute respiratory infections, influenza and other infectious diseases. Recent injections of botulinum toxin and fillers do not give the green light for Spanish therapy. It is necessary that at least 3 weeks have passed since the administration of the substance.

As for women who are in an interesting position, such a massage is even welcome. Very often during pregnancy, not only the legs, but also the face swell. Removing toxins through the pores minimizes the load on the kidneys, ensuring comfortable fluid removal from the body.

If massage is performed correctly, no complications arise. When a non-professional works, or contraindications are not taken into account, complications may occur due to the exacerbation of existing diseases.

Thus, chiromassage, or Spanish massage, is an excellent opportunity to eliminate numerous problems on the facial skin associated with age-related changes. You will be able to get rid of sagging, facial wrinkles, puffiness and a double chin. After massaging, the skin becomes elastic and acquires an even color, toxins are eliminated, and you begin to feel great.

In addition, during such a massage, the hormone of joy - endorphin - enters the blood, so you will definitely be recharged with energy and will remain in a good mood for a long time.

Chiromassage brings only pleasant sensations and pleasure

If we go back into history, the founder of the idea of chiromassage is the Spanish doctor Ferrandis, who began practicing it back in the 20s of the last century. An “improved version” of his follower, Enrique Garcia, has reached our times. He took the best of the doctor’s experience, adding techniques from Ayurvedic medicine and yogic teachings. Since the late 70s, Spanish chiromassage of the body and face has been successfully practiced. It is aimed at internal deep relaxation and working out the deep layers of tissue. It has a beneficial effect on blood vessels, the nervous system, lymph and the general condition of the body.

Effect

Chiromassage is distinguished by its “plasticity” and ease of impact. The receptions, of which there are more than 100, are carried out carefully and gently. They are practically not repeated during the course of procedures and each session is unique in its own way. This has a more positive effect on the course of the sessions, because the body does not get used to the techniques. And it works more efficiently. The main effect is on the following body systems:

nervous;
muscular;
osteoarticular;
vascular.

One of the most important areas of massage is the development of flexibility and elasticity of the skin. Spanish massage is used in 4 directions: therapeutic massage, aesthetic, sports and preventive.

Chiromassage has a relaxing effect on muscles

It may seem that there is no special external influence, but this is not so. Spanish chiromassage is of a deep nature. Light touches do not have a warming effect, which is usual for classical techniques, but a relaxing one. Thanks to this, the effect goes directly to the nervous system.

You can see how the session goes in the video:

Spanish massage is performed in several different techniques, which give different effects. They are not combined with each other and are used individually. Garcia believed that combining techniques could provoke unwanted consequences, since some are mutually exclusive.

Spanish massage techniques

Chiromassage of the body is performed in several different techniques that have different effects.

There are 5 main techniques of Spanish massage. Each of them relaxes and activates the internal forces of the body, while also having its own unique properties.

Chiromassage techniques are unique and effective. In addition, they are suitable for people of all ages. But this magical technique also has its drawbacks, or rather, contraindications. There are very few of them, but in order not to harm your health, you need to take them into account.

“Hiro” literally means hand. Massage is not performed only with the palms, as in most other practices. The edge of the palm, the back of the hands and even the forearm are involved, depending on the indications and the chosen technique. As masters of chiropractic say, this is a very creative process that is individual to each patient.

Only a specialist can perform high-quality facial chiromassage

Important! It is necessary to go for treatments to a master who can provide massage at the appropriate level. To understand the qualifications of the master, you need to study reviews of his work, find out where he studied and work experience. The price for chiromassage varies from 1000 rubles. and higher. Depends on the level of the salon and the city where the procedure is performed. You should be wary of undergoing “at-home” treatments or at too-reduced prices. This does not mean that “expensive means good.” It’s just that in any price segment you can meet both a professional and an amateur. For safety and efficiency, it is better to study the master with whom you will cooperate.

Contraindications

Chiromassage has prohibitions

One of the few types of massages that are allowed for pregnant women. This confirms the high safety of the procedure. A painless, soft, relaxing chiromassage session has a small number of contraindications. You can’t exclude them and you can’t brush them aside either.

The procedure cannot be performed if there are:

Cancerous tumors.
Infectious and allergic manifestations on the skin.
Wounds and burns, damaged skin at the site of the intended procedure.
Exacerbations of chronic diseases.
Excessive number of papillomas and moles.
Fragility of blood vessels.
Fever.

As a result of mixing two practices: Western and Eastern, chiromassage arose. It is sometimes called Spanish chiromassage, as this technique originated on the Iberian Peninsula. Its essence lies not only in obtaining health and beauty, but most importantly - in relaxing the skin and the whole body, in relaxation. This procedure will be pleasant for those who like to look younger while relaxing.

When choosing a clinic or beauty salon, pay attention to reviews. A chiropractic massage therapist must have extensive experience. He will select an individual program for you, which will help you achieve maximum effect. During the procedure there should be no unpleasant sensations, especially pain. All activities are pleasant and aimed at relaxation.

In addition to the fact that massage helps restore skin elasticity and youth, it is also indicated for certain diseases. First of all, all manipulations with the patient’s face have a good effect on the circulatory system, at this time the movement of lymph improves, swelling goes away, cellulite becomes less (this applies to body chiromassage), and tissues are restored.

Chiromassage successfully combines not only the knowledge of past generations, but also new techniques.

Facial chiromassage is used for such phenomena as:

sagging skin, loss of tone and freshness of the skin;
– when a network of blood vessels appears on the skin;
deformation of the oval of the face;
mimic or age wrinkles.

The secret of the popularity of the procedure

Every day, facial chiromassage is gaining more and more popularity in the world among women. There are several reasons for this:

Chiromassage is two in one: on the one hand, a medical procedure, and on the other, prevention of aging of the face and the body as a whole.
There are many massage techniques in this technique; if you combine them, the patient will not get used to the tactile influences and then the effect of the procedure will always be 100%. And at this time the massage therapist will not get tired of work, because the movements will be varied.
For those who professionally engage in chiromassage, there is always an option for professional growth, because this technique is still young, it is developing and has not yet reached its peak.
Usually those who have tried this technique on themselves at least once are so satisfied with the result that they come to repeat the procedure again and again.

Effect of the procedure

If you are not satisfied with the condition of your skin, but you do not want to take radical measures, then the chiromassage procedure is suitable for you. After the session, your wrinkles will smooth out, your skin will look fresh and youthful, and your facial contours will become clearer.

Thanks to chiromassage you can achieve the following effect:

Under mechanical influence, the skin is cleansed of the keratinized layer of the epidermis. This layer accumulates on the surface of the body and slows down all metabolic processes. As a result, the pores become clogged, and the skin becomes dull and breaks out in rashes. After the procedure, the skin begins to “breathe”.
During the massage, the work of muscle tissue is stimulated, due to which the skin becomes elastic, smooth and looks younger. The complexion is restored, swelling goes away, the lymph flow restores its normal function and... All stagnant processes that took place in the muscles are eliminated, the skin receives proper nutrition, receives a sufficient amount of oxygen, is restored, and sebum production is normalized. During this period, tissue regeneration occurs an order of magnitude faster.
Massage also has a good effect on the human nervous system. Inhibition processes are activated, which prevail over excitation processes. And then the person’s emotional state normalizes. After the procedure, he feels like after a good sleep: full of strength and rested.

This type of massage can be used not only as a treatment, but also for the purpose of prevention.

Contraindications to the procedure

Before starting the procedure, MirSovetov recommends that you visit a good cosmetologist or dermatologist who will tell you in detail about contraindications to chiromassage.

So, you should refrain from this procedure in the following cases:

if you have acute infectious processes in your body;
there are any kinds of rashes, in particular;
there are wounds or burns on the skin;
fragile vessels;
increased body temperature;
exacerbation of chronic diseases;
There are many or papillomas on the skin.

Facial chiromassage technique

Depending on the skin problems, one chiromassage session can last from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Before starting the procedure, the massage therapist examines the patient’s skin, identifies all her problems and takes into account the woman’s wishes.

The skin is thoroughly cleansed.
Massage oil is applied to moisturize the skin.
Chiromassage.
Nourishing cream is applied.

With his movements during the session, the doctor resembles a sculptor who sculpts a face. With smooth, but at the same time precise movements, the massage therapist kneads the muscles so that they work at full strength. There is no clear methodology for this procedure. The massage therapist himself determines which movements and with what intensity will give the maximum effect.

Among the most popular movements are the following:

the skin is stroked and smoothed with fingertips;
Gently knead the nasolabial area with massage movements;
then there is a massage of the cheekbones;
the eye area and eyelids are treated;
the chin warms up;
Neck massage is mandatory;
tapping the fingertips on the skin of the face;
slight tingling;
wave-like movements.

After chiromassage, the body is more resistant to. In addition, during the procedure, pleasure centers in the brain are stimulated and endorphins are released. To achieve this, the massage therapist’s movements must be uniform, rhythmic and continuous.

Massage is also used for hemolymphatic drainage, which affects the human venous system. In this case, the practitioner acts on the peripheral capillary network. He very slowly makes undulating and pulsating movements. By the way, chiromassage is not only a mechanical effect on the skin, but also a powerful energetic one.

During the session, the massage therapist uses the pads of the fingers, the fingers themselves, the palm and its base. Wonderful muscle gymnastics occurs, therefore, first of all, this massage is recommended for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle and do not play sports. Athletic people, as a rule, do not need a facelift.

Chiromassage is indicated at any age, but the sooner you start doing it, the better. For women who have crossed the threshold of 35 years, the number of courses should be three times a year, and between them it is necessary to carry out support procedures. And up to 35 years old, massage is done 1-2 times a year. One course includes 10 procedures, 2-3 times a week.

Chiromassage at home

In principle, it is allowed to perform chiromassage yourself at home. To do this, you need to study the technique and basic principles, and listen carefully to how the body reacts to the procedures. There shouldn't be any discomfort. If the skin becomes red or irritated, stop the massage immediately.

Before starting the massage, you need to thoroughly clean your face and hands. Since during the procedure the pores will open, and an infection can get into them with dirt.

For a better effect, you can make a hot herbal compress for the face, then the muscles will thoroughly warm up. Make sure that no hair gets under your fingers during the massage; it should be tucked under a cap.

Apply cream or massage oil to your skin and test it on your wrist first to make sure you are not allergic. Perform movements only along massage lines, because it is along them that lymph moves. If the massage is done randomly, you can achieve the opposite effect.

You can achieve tangible results from chiromassage at home if you do it for 10 days in a row for 20 minutes. The course can be repeated in a week.

Magical, miraculous, rejuvenating – whatever they call this massage technique. It originated from Asia and is considered one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the East. Facial chiromassage is a general concept that includes manipulation of the skin using certain hand movements.

What is facial chiromassage

Professional massage therapists say that there is no such separate concept as chiromassage of the body or face. In translation, “hiro” means “manual”, but despite this it is often confused with the muscular-structural technique. It is considered basic, because it is the muscles that are responsible for the loss of facial turgor and changes in the oval.

How does muscular chiromassage differ from most well-known techniques:

More than 100 techniques are used during the session. The simplest of them are light frictions with your fingers on massage points. The most difficult ones include skin stretching and muscle-vascular kneading;
This technique allows you to influence not only the muscles of the face or body, but also the internal organs and nervous system. With the help of targeted movements, a specialist will be able to relieve neck pain, eliminate swelling, improve mood and normalize sleep;
This manual technique is also called “plastic facial massage”. During the session there are no unpleasant sensations, but the muscles tense and become toned. As a result of regular procedures, you can get the same effect as a surgical lift. At the same time, it is quite stable - the effect is noticeable for several months after the end of intensive anti-aging therapy.

Classic chiromassage can remove facial wrinkles almost after the first two sessions; deep folds will disappear after just 6 procedures. Besides technology also has such advantages, How:

Lifting the contour of the face, tightening the skin, restoring normal turgor;
Evens out skin color and cleanses pores. Of course, massage will not replace facial peeling, but it can significantly improve the quality of “self-cleaning” of the epidermis;
Improving metabolic processes, increasing blood flow;
Removing toxins and harmful chemical compounds from cells;
Slowing down the aging process;
On the body – prevention of cellulite and varicose veins, strengthening of muscles and blood vessels, restoration of joints after injuries.

Indications and contraindications

Reviews claim that chiromassage has no categorical contraindications - it can be performed even during pregnancy. Of course, experts recommend refraining from performing the procedure during an exacerbation of chronic skin diseases, inflammatory processes on the epidermis or open lesions.

When is chiromassage needed:

For pain in the joints, swelling of the fingers and limbs, circulatory problems;
If your complexion has changed, age spots or redness on the skin have begun to form;
It is very useful for acne and teenage rashes. Unless they are the cause of demodex;

It is important to thoroughly cleanse the skin of cosmetics and secretions. For this, either oil solutions or micellar waters are used. Under no circumstances should you use alcohol-containing tonics and lotions - they will dry out the epidermis, which can affect the results of the massage;
This lymphatic drainage massage is performed with oils - light and aromatic mixtures are excellent for chiromassage. For example, grape seed, orange or lavender. For greater efficiency and muscle relaxation, esters can be slightly warmed up;
Any contouring using massage techniques begins with a light warm-up of the skin. This technique is also called the sedation technique. The pads apply light friction along the contour of the oval, to the neck, upward to the chin and a little further to the nasolabial fold. Afterwards, the fingers “run” higher - to the nose and cheeks, and rise along the temples to the frontal protrusion;
After the movements, they become a little more sweeping and you need to move across the face not with your fingers, but with the ribs of your hands. The palms are turned outward and placed edgewise on the massage lines. These are the wings of the nose, cheekbones, eye sockets and the center of the forehead;
The movements shouldn't be fast, but you shouldn't slow down too much either. Try to maintain a certain pace;
Particular attention is paid to the lymph nodes. It is important to work not only slowly, but also gently. Massage therapists recommend imagining a viscous liquid flowing under your fingers. The more carefully your hands move, the more excess goes away;
After the muscles have relaxed and blood has flowed to the skin, the stage of lymphatic drainage or muscle technique begins. The fingers grab a small area of skin on the cheeks and the fingers begin to move progressively towards the nose. From the nose they return to the cheeks, after which they move to the eye sockets and eyebrows. After the eyebrows, plucking is carried out on the frontal part of the face. Along the contour you need to go back down the oval and continue the actions on the chin and neck;
To make this massage not only structural or relaxing, but also lifting, after the stimulation part the tightening stage begins. Its technique varies significantly depending on the artist, but the most common option is pulling small areas of the skin. For convenience, lifting is performed first on one half of the face, then on the other. It is important to remember that this is not a buccal massage; the tightening should not be painful or uncomfortable;
To complete the session, you can perform a cryomassage with herbal ice. This will help close the pores and remove the redness from the face once the blood flow is activated.

The salon may additionally offer a rejuvenating mask or other final procedure. In terms of time, facial chiromassage, like hardware massage, takes from 15 to 30 minutes, and body massage from 40.

There is another massage option that involves the neck and décolleté areas, as well as the scalp. It is able to relieve tension and fatigue, as well as energize. Of course, this does not exclude its anti-aging properties.

The peculiarity of this facial chiromassage technique is a short “warm-up” time and a long lymphatic drainage phase. Only in it, pinching and friction are carried out not along massage lines, but along the entire plane being treated. From the outside it may seem that this technique is rude, but in fact, it is incredibly pleasant and effective.
