Types of anti-wrinkle massagers

Anti-wrinkle face massagers, depending on their main purpose, can be of several types:

• Vacuum.Officially recognized as the most effective in the fight against wrinkles on aging skin. They are used not only to solve problem areas, but also to clean the skin. With regular use of vacuum massage, a woman will be able to open the pores, "draw out" the impurities in them, and then increase the production of collagen and elastin. There are absolute contraindications in this case of pregnancy, starting from the 1st trimester, high blood pressure, kidney pathologies, and venous diseases.

• Mechanical cylinder.These are the simplest design, whose principle of operation is based on the mechanical effect of the surface on the skin. Usually the device itself looks like a solid cylinder (in some cases there may be several of them) attached to a special handle. The most popular and effective are rollers made of wood, stone or plastic.
• Myostimulators.Electric massager that affects the skin with micro-frequencies. This type of device is particularly popular due to the similarity of its operation to salon devices. The advantage of myostimulators is also that they not only tighten a woman's skin, but also eliminate fat deposits in the cheek area, thus drawing out the oval of the face.
• Ultrasonic.The principle of operation of ultrasonic massagers is the penetration of ultrasonic waves into skin cells, which stimulates their periodic compression and relaxation. As a result of such movements, the skin becomes more elastic, and the amount of collagen and elastin produced by the body increases independently.
• Oxygen.Their effect on human skin is completely painless, but less effective. This type of device saturates the layers of the skin with oxygen, thus achieving deep hydration, improving complexion, and smoothing facial wrinkles.
