Additional influences are exerted by the environment, hard water when washing, and other factors. Cosmetics filled the shelves of stores and beauty salons, but this is not enough. Dermatologist Jacquet came to this conclusion, with which modern cosmetologists agree. His healing and healing method consists of stimulating cells through a special effect: this is a pinch facial massage.

Several sources were taken as a basis: research by a scientist in dermatology and observations of ancient Chinese healers. Between these methods, Jacquet found a middle ground: the peculiarities of tissue restoration after dermatological diseases were taken into account; instead of pinching the entire body, the doctor concentrated on the face. Jacquet massage has received wide recognition and has brought many benefits to women who take great care of their appearance.

Recommendations
Many techniques for performing pinch massage have been developed. However, regardless of the chosen technique, to obtain the desired result you follow basic rules.
Cleanse your skin
When performing a massage at home, do not forget to cleanse the skin. Half an hour before the manipulations, you can make a mask from herbs, take a steam bath, or simply put a terry towel soaked in warm water. Also take into account the remnants of cosmetics on your face, which you wash off thoroughly.
Also, pay attention to your fingers. If there is dirt even under the nails, there is a risk of infection in the open pores, which is fraught with inflammatory processes and, as a result, the formation of acne and purulent wounds.
Giphy
Additionally, you can use effective skin cleansers, but just act smoothly and gently, without trying to rub your face too much.
Such procedures will not only cleanse, but also warm up the dermis well and contribute to the maximum opening of pores. When massaged, the skin should be soft so that it is easier to handle.
Keep it regular
It is not enough to perform the procedure 1-2 times and expect improvements. When choosing a similar technique, you do massage periodically, since regularity is important here.
For a positive result, the minimum recommended session time is 5-7 minutes, during which you repeat the required movements. The skin has time to warm up and relax as much as possible. With this approach, it is enough to perform the technique 2-3 times a week.
After achieving a positive result, you take a break for a month and then repeat again. The course is calculated individually depending on the characteristics of the body, age, gender and other factors. In addition, the selected methodology is of paramount importance, since each has its own time intervals and frequency.
Change techniques
There are several techniques for performing pinch massage. Although they are all designed to improve skin health, there are some differences.
For example, with the sculptural or Italian method, special attention is paid to deep muscle development, which you may not be able to withstand. At the same time, facial massage helps smooth out nasolabial folds and folds between the eyebrows, eliminating wrinkles around the eyes in a lighter form, i.e. hand movements are smooth and relatively calm.

Contact the salons

Specialists know about all the intricacies, and they select in advance a technique that will give the most maximum result. In addition, the master performs a massage taking into account the characteristics of the body, which eliminates the risk of undesirable consequences.
Don't ignore contraindications

Pimples, acne and other skin aggravations are just minor troubles. There is a risk of infection, stretching the dermis, and injuring nearby capillaries, which will require you to seek medical help.
When choosing a technique, remember that pinch massage is not only a cosmetic way to improve the condition of the skin. This is also a therapeutic complex of manipulations developed by specialists, taking into account possible contraindications and side effects. You shouldn't risk your health.
Choose oil and lotion
When performing a pinch massage, pay attention to oil, cream or facial lotion. The product must match your skin type. To make sure there are no allergic reactions, you can first apply a few drops to the dermis, rub and wait. If there are no consequences, use oil for the procedure.
You should not carry out manipulations on dry skin, since you will only stretch or damage it.
Don't overdo it
Believing that maximum effort will give results much faster, you risk encountering the opposite effect. In addition to possible disturbances in the structure of the skin, hematomas, stretch marks may appear, and complexion may change. Remember that everything should be in moderation. Therefore, strictly adhere to the execution technique and do not overdo it.
Pinch facial massage is an effective procedure that will help improve skin condition, normalize blood circulation, remove wrinkles and restore the color of the dermis. However, only a professional approach and adherence to basic rules will give a positive result.
Contraindications
Despite the many positive aspects, there are contraindications for pinch massage. They should be carefully studied and adhered to.
- Mechanical damage. Scratches, open wounds and other microtraumas will not allow you to carry out the procedure comfortably; the tissues will not heal properly. The risk of infection increases;
- Inflammatory processes. In case of relapse of herpes, acute dermatitis and purulent rashes, you will have to wait for recovery. If the disease does not subside, it is advisable to see a doctor;
- Diseases. Severe colds and acute respiratory viral infections are also taboo: the immune system is weakened, the muscles are less responsive, massage will not give the maximum effect.
Regularity is important, but if you feel unwell, it is better to postpone the session. And also the procedure is stopped if there is severe pain or dizziness. Self-care should bring positive emotions, bring only benefits.
Cost of facial slimming massage
