WHAT IS THAT?
The modern market for cosmetic products is very rich in various massage devices. The user can choose the most suitable option for every taste: from a simple mechanical option, to an electronic one, and even a laser option, which can be used to transfer expensive cosmetic procedures from salons to a cozy home environment.
ROLLER
The simplest and cheapest option is a roller massager, in which one or more rollers (of different sizes and shapes) are linked together. Such a massage device is usually made of plastic, wood or stone.
In order to use this device, the rollers must be run over the skin with little effort, which has an excellent massage effect.
ELECTRIC
Electrical devices or so-called myostimulants are devices that are designed to lift (rejuvenate the facial skin). The massager helps remove existing wrinkles, prevent new ones from appearing, and improve blood circulation, all of which helps rejuvenate the skin noticeably. After the first intervention, customers notice an excellent result.
By purchasing such a device, costly and uncomfortable procedures like the introduction of botox and surgical facelifts can be avoided.
ULTRASONIC
Ultrasonic facial massagers aim to get rid of blemishes. The principle of operation is quite simple: ultrasound helps skin cells contract and loosen, which smooths the surface of the face. Also, this device helps remove wrinkles and tone the overall shape.
PULSE
The pulse device cleanses the skin, accelerates the regeneration process and stimulates the blood circulation with short-term electrical pulses. Because this device generates low voltage, it is completely safe for home use.
OXYGEN
The action of this massage device aims to enrich the lymph with oxygen molecules. This effect helps to improve the metabolism and promotes rapid skin regeneration. After such procedures, the facial skin acquires an even color and a healthy appearance.
IONIC
The ion massager is designed for two types of work: cleaning the skin (positively charged ions) and promoting deeper penetration of the applied care cream. One push of a button is enough to change the mode.
JADE
This massager is mechanical and looks similar to the roller. The main difference is that the roller (the surface that is in contact with the skin) is made of a healing stone with positive energy - jade. Such a massage will help rejuvenate, improve the skin of the face, give it a healthy color and relieve fatigue.
VACUUM
This type is one of the most popular among "home" massage device users. The device helps eliminate wrinkles and thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face. After regular use, the face becomes firm, its color evens out, blackheads and puffiness disappear. A vacuum device will also help get rid of a double chin.
Important! This massager has a number of serious contraindications: venous disease, rash, wounds. Before purchasing such a device, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist.
LASER
The action of this device is based on the emission of special soft waves that stimulate the production of collagen (a protein that gives the skin firmness and elasticity), smooth out wrinkles, radiate cheekbones and remove unwanted layers of fat.
HOW TO NOT MAKE CHOOSING A MASSAGER
The massager is a great solution to save time and money as it eliminates the need for expensive procedures and doctors thanks to such a home assistant. However, an incorrectly selected device can not only not give the expected result, but also exacerbate existing problems with the face, or even create new ones.
To avoid undesirable consequences, you should consult a specialist before buying a device. A dermatologist or beautician can correctly determine the skin type and existing problems and recommend the most suitable device.
The main features of the massager are selected by a specialist, but the type and model are the flight of your imagination. In order to select the most suitable device, you need to consider the following important aspects:
- size.Compact models can be conveniently taken with you on trips.
- Eat.The most convenient option are devices that can be powered by both the mains and the battery.
- handle.The device should lie comfortably in the hand and use should be as comfortable as possible.

- Wash your skin with a cleansing lotion or foam.
- steam your face;
- apply a nourishing cream (for use with all massage devices except vacuum).
HOW TO DIRECT THE MASSAGER CORRECTLY
Another important point that has a direct effect on the result is the control of the massage device.Chaotic movements do not lead to the desired result.It is necessary to manage the massager only on the advice of a specialist or to strictly follow the instructions provided with each device.
There are some simple rules that apply to all skin types. Movements are carried out in this order:
- The first movement is carried out from the chin to the ear.
- Next - from the lower lip to the ear. This is how the cheekbones stand out.
- From the right temple to the nose, from the nose to the left temple.
- From the middle of the forehead alternately to both temples.
- From the inner corner of the eye to the temples and back.
- The sinuses are treated last.

- You shouldn't use too much force, you shouldn't press hard on the skin.
- The duration of a session should not exceed 10-15 minutes (depending on the device type).
