WHAT IT IS
The modern market for cosmetic products is very rich in various massagers. The user can choose the most suitable option for every taste: from a simple mechanical option to an electronic one, and even a laser one, which will allow transferring expensive cosmetic procedures from salons to a cozy home environment.
ROLLER
The simplest and cheapest option is a roller massager, which is a handle with one or more rollers (of various sizes and shapes) connected to each other. Such a massager is made most often of plastic, wood or stone.
To use this device, it is necessary to drive the rollers over the skin, applying little force, which has an excellent massage effect.
ELECTRIC
Electrical devices, or so-called myostimulators, are devices that are designed to perform lifting (rejuvenation of the facial skin). The massager helps to get rid of existing wrinkles, prevent the appearance of new ones, as well as improve blood circulation, which contributes to a noticeable rejuvenation of the skin. After the first procedure, clients notice an excellent result.
Buying such a device helps avoid costly and unpleasant procedures such as Botox and surgical facelifts.
ULTRASONIC
Ultrasonic facial massage devices are aimed at eliminating skin imperfections. The principle of operation is quite simple: ultrasound helps skin cells to contract and unclench, which helps to smooth the surface of the face. Also, this device helps to get rid of wrinkles and tighten the overall shape.
PULSE
The impulse device cleanses the skin, accelerates the regeneration process, and also stimulates blood circulation through short-term current pulses. Since this device produces a low voltage, it is absolutely safe for use at home.
OXYGEN
The action of this massager is aimed at enriching the lymph with oxygen molecules. This effect helps to improve metabolism, promotes speedy skin regeneration. After such procedures, the skin of the face acquires an even color and a healthy appearance.
IONIC
The ion massager is designed for two types of work: cleansing the skin (positively charged ions), and promoting deeper penetration of the applied nourishing cream. One button press is enough to change the mode.
JADE
This massager is mechanical and has a similar appearance 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 massage will help to rejuvenate, improve the skin of the face, as well as give it a healthy color and relieve fatigue.
VACUUM
This type is one of the most popular among users of "home" massagers. The device helps to get rid of wrinkles and deeply cleanse the skin of the face. After regular use, the face becomes taut, its color evens out, blackheads and swelling disappear. Also, a vacuum device helps to get rid of a double chin.
Important! This massager has a number of serious contraindications: vein 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 provides strength and elasticity of the skin), smooths wrinkles, as well as highlight cheekbones and remove unwanted fat layers.
HOW TO NOT BE MISTAKE WHEN CHOOSING A MASSAGER
The massager is a great solution to save time and money, because thanks to such a home assistant, there is no need to visit expensive procedures and doctors.
