Features of Jacques facial massage

Massage according to Jacques is a treatment and prophylactic procedure carried out by plucking technique and prescribed on the recommendation of a cosmetologist. It provides elimination of skin diseases, improves skin condition, has a lifting effect and improves facial contours. Currently, because of its effectiveness, the procedure is very popular.

Women who regularly visit beauty salons for facial massages are accustomed to the fact that the procedure is carried out sparingly and very gently. Professionals cosmetologists have always been very negative about the intense impact on the face. They did not get tired of constantly warning about the negatives that can occur as a result of stretching the skin even with daily care and application of the cream. The appearance in our lives of therapeutic and cosmetic pinch massage according to Jacques made very big adjustments to the understanding of the procedures for working with the face. Intensive stretching of the skin layers gives a significant rejuvenation effect in a very short period of time. It helps to change the contour of the face and the disappearance of facial wrinkles, reduce or even get rid of the second chin.

The technique of applying Jacques massage to the face is now widely used in beauty salons and medical clinics. In addition, such a process, involving the effect on massage lines, is everywhere carried out not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body (back, hips, chest, buttocks).

Even in ancient times in Greece, doctors noticed that the removal of any severe pain or a change in the deformation of the skin can be carried out by strong tingling, intense exposure and enhanced rubbing. In the XVIII century, the French dermatologist Leonard Jacquet, having studied in detail ancient Greek practices, created a methodology for performing intensive facial massage. He very painstakingly studied, worked through, and later described his research in scientific works.

Initially, his practice was intended to treat skin after various dermatological diseases. For several decades, the technique using this kind of strong pinching of the skin, grips and vibration is widely used in clinics of Chinese massage. In China, this massage is practiced throughout the body. In the East, this method has never been used to work with a person. The merit of the French doctor lies in the fact that he first applied his practice to apply massage techniques to the facial lines. Only two centuries later in Europe, the scientific work of Leonard Jacquet was appreciated.

This method is a lifesaver for those who have skin problems. Masseurs who widely practice plucking techniques talk about its effectiveness.

The therapeutic effect of massage is:

• reduction of fatty seborrhea due to improved metabolic processes in the affected area;
• getting rid of inflammatory foci of the skin and epidermis;
• getting rid of age-related age spots and blackheads;
• improving the tone of all facial muscles associated with age-related changes;
• resorption of scars.

Due to the intense effect on the subcutaneous layers, the blood flow to the muscle tissues improves, which enriches the subcutaneous layers and skin with oxygen and enhances lymph circulation. In this way, regeneration processes in places of influence are started.

Due to the intensity of the procedures, there are many contraindications.

It is strictly forbidden to perform pinch massage:

• with open wounds, scratches and other injuries, all kinds of inflammations on the face (such as herpes, psoriasis, suppuration of the skin);
• if there are moles on the face;
• with vascular diseases;
• with oncology and serious blood diseases;
• with inflammatory processes of the facial nerve;
• with progressive infectious diseases;
• with high blood pressure.

A massage therapist must be informed of all your doubts and illnesses before the procedures are prescribed.

The practice of massage includes three stages of exposure to the face of the client: deep grips of the skin together with the subcutaneous layers (carried out by tweaks); strong kneading, contributing to an enhanced study of the subcutaneous layers of the muscles; active, but gentle vibrations with simultaneous pressure.

The procedure begins with exposure to the neck. Active kneading is carried out from the neckline to the tip of the chin, then to the ears and back down to the shoulders and collarbones.Proper study of this area can reduce sagging skin on the neck. The head during the procedure should be strongly folded back.

The effect on the skin is made by tingling from the tip of the chin. Gradually, the fingers of the masseur move up to the auricles. Movements are carried out in the lower jaw. With pinching movements, massage is done from the corners of the lips to the ears, then an active effect occurs in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds. The study of this area of ​​the face allows you to get rid of the second chin and improve the oval of the face.

Promotion is carried out from the lower part of the nose, and then goes to the auricles. Performing massage in this area will return the smoothness of the skin, improve the contour of the cheeks and stop their sagging.

The massage lines are moving from the brow hollows to the eyebrows and then moving to the temples, then moving along the forehead towards the hair growth area. The skin here is very tight, but the kneading process and the implementation of intense vibration are necessary. The study of this zone evens out deep interbrow wrinkles.

The effect in the eye area is carried out very carefully and the movement toward the temples is more effective with an increase in the amplitude of the effect. The upper eyelid (from the inner to the outer corner) gently misses with a slight vibration, and then the lower eyelid in the same direction. Pinching and grabbing tissue in this area of ​​the face is strictly prohibited.

If you observe the process of massage, it may seem that the technique of the procedure is very simple and everyone can do it. In fact, not every experienced cosmetologist takes a massage on Jacques. When teaching pinch massage, a thorough study of each individual technique is carried out.

During the procedure, the masters strongly crumple and pinch the tissues of the entire face. Some of their movements sometimes resemble the process of squeezing acne. They spare only the area around the eyes. Such strong and sharp movements really contribute to the destruction of subcutaneous suppuration and all kinds of inflammatory foci.

During the procedure, breaks in the eel canals often occur and their contents leak out. The process of implementing the tweaks themselves is very fast, but the skin manages to relax and get used to the pain due to the alternation of tweaks with vibration. In preparation for the massage, the doctor-cosmetologist thoroughly cleans the client's face skin. The procedure is carried out without the use of creams and oils, because the skin of clients applying for the procedure using the Jacques technique is susceptible to the release of fat. Beautician uses antiseptic and talcum powder when processing his hands.

The duration of the massage depends on the number of problem areas. More than 15 minutes, the procedure is not carried out.

When conducting the massage yourself, you must consider all the recommendations and study all contraindications. Before implementing this kind of process, it is worth taking training courses. Be sure to pre-cleanse the skin. Remove makeup completely and prepare a steam bath to cleanse your pores. It will be useful to hold your face over a bath of hot water, into which a few drops of essential oil are previously added.

We do the procedure under the covers in the same way as in childhood you breathed over potatoes during a cold. Instead of essential oil, a decoction of pharmacy chamomile and linden blossom work well on the skin.After a steam bath, the face should be wiped well.

The task of the procedure is maximum contact between fingers and skin. After the process is completed, a nourishing cream should be applied to soothe and relax the skin.

According to many clients of the beauty salon, Jacques massage is not a very pleasant procedure. The masseur with his fingers strongly shakes and pinches the face, which causes intense pain. It is also extremely unpleasant when the master works with the area of ​​the eyes and nose.

Nevertheless, the results of the massage exceed all expectations. The oval of the face improves, the second chin is removed. The vast majority of women note the smoothing of facial wrinkles, improving the complexion, its texture.

According to practitioners, therapeutic cosmetic pluck massage according to Jacques is very effective. One has only to pay attention to the fact that it is impossible to independently learn effective self-massage, you can understand only general concepts and apply basic movements. For high-quality Jacques procedures, specialized courses are required.
