Massage.  How antiaging is it?

As an antiaging esthetician I couldn't live without Facial Contouring Massage(tm), or FCM.  I know that massage is a great way to bring a youthful, rested look to my clients’ faces. A few years ago I had the opportunity to perform FCM to my mother-in-law, and the results were stunning.
 
My mother-in-law had aged quite a bit since I had seen her last. She has bad knees and had stopped daily exercise.  You could really see it in her face.  She was looking for a way to restore her youthful appearance. I suggested we do Facial Contouring Massage.  I explained that the process involves gently massaging the face, neck and chest to release fascia, purge lymph and toxins and smooth out wrinkles.  (We also used LED and the Clareblend Mini, but the massage was the star of the show.)
 
The process is quite relaxing and a version of it can be done at home.  Not all facialists offer this, so the Anma is the next best thing.  The Anma is specifically designed for this purpose and uses gua sha massage techniques, which are known to help release wrinkles and sagging facial muscles. It also helps bring hyaluronic acid (the stuff in expensive injectables that is a natural part of skin) to the surface of the skin for fresher, more plump, and healthier skin.
 
After three FCM treatments, my MIL's results were very noticeable.  Her face looked brighter and younger. Her wrinkles had been smoothed out and she had a more rested and youthful appearance. She was so pleased with the results that she has asked me to do this service for her every time she visits from Trinidad.
 
If you haven’t been able to find a facialist that does Facial Contouring Massage, then you can try the Anma at home. It is easy to use and can help you achieve a more youthful, rested look. Just remember that the lighter you massage the deeper the release of the fascia. With regular use, you will notice a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your face.
 
Facial massage is a great way to restore a youthful, rested look to your face. The Anma device is a handheld tool that uses gua sha massage techniques to gently massage the face and release fascia. This can help smooth out wrinkles, bunching, sagging, and overall tired facial muscles. Additionally, it brings natural hyaluronic acid to the surface of the skin for fresher, more plump, and healthier skin. The lighter you massage the deeper the release, so be sure to use gentle pressure at first. With regular use, you will notice a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your face.
