Have you realized that when you go for a facial or face spa appointment, the masseuse presses your face at certain points quite a few times? Does it ring a bell? Well, that’s because these points’ help in regulating blood flow, due to which our skin feels brighter and tighter. Not just that, pressing these points regularly can also help in reducing face fat.
How? Well, let’s find out.
According to celebrity dermatologist, Dr Ajay Rana, our face also has numerous lymphatic nodes. The lymphatic system of the body is a crucial part of our immune system. It drains out fluid called lymph to be transported back into our bloodstream. Furthermore, it also removes bodily waste and carries white blood cells that help to prevent any kind of infections.
He tells HealthShots, “Lymphatic massages work well with people dealing with problems like lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions. Our lymphatic system is totally dependent on the movement of smooth muscles to transport fluid through the lymph vessels. Several health conditions can interrupt the normal flow of lymph that causes lymph fluid to build up in a particular area of the body, generally in the arms or legs, where it can cause swelling. This condition is called lymphedema.”
The first step of the massage starts with stretching of the skin and the following is meant to send lymphatic fluid to the lymph nodes. The treatment must be a certified lymphedema therapist.
But the best part is that you don’t have to go anywhere when HealthShots is there to help you out.
