Revitonics - face building, face gymnastics. Exercise, anti-wrinkle fitness, for elasticity of the skin, muscles of the neck and face

Revitonics helps to cope with one of the most disturbing problems associated with the aesthetics of the human body - aging, withering of the skin. To slow down this process, various masks, creams, massage have always been used, and now revitonics.

Fitness revitonics for the face - what is it

Revitonics means a specially developed technique, the main action of which is aimed at eliminating wrinkles, tightening the skin and improving the face contour. At the same time, work is being done on all facial muscles (since the functions and role of muscles differ, an individual approach and special exercises for each muscle of the face are important).

The founder of Revitonics is Natalia Osminina.

What revitonics gives

This set of exercises for the neck and face helps to normalize muscle function, which includes:

• improving blood flow in the vessels;
• removal of muscle spasms;
• "Creating" the correct posture of the neck;
• directly work with different types of muscles (facial or chewing).

With regular revitonics, you can observe the following improvements:

• elimination of wrinkles (medium and small);
• smoothness and tenderness of the skin (folds and irregularities disappear);
• the skin becomes firmer and tighter;
• beautiful oval of the face (clear chin, cheekbones, forehead);
• the inflammatory processes on the skin decrease or disappear.

Revitonics system (Natalia Osminina)

Natalia Osminina developed a facial fitness system (revitonics) back in the first half of the 90s. Then it was a completely new phenomenon in cosmetology (both in Western and Eastern countries).

According to Natalia, the main reason for the appearance of wrinkles, aging and fading of the skin is not age, but, first of all, disorders in the work of muscle tissues. As a result of such violations, fewer essential nutrients enter the cells and tone is lost over time.

Another reason contributing to the deterioration of the skin condition is fluid retention.

Because of this, lethargy, flabbiness, sagging, bruises under the eyes, and swelling may appear. Natalia Osminina's system is aimed at eliminating these problems, in addition, it is effective for muscle spasms.

The founder of the technique has formed her basic course, which includes 10 basic exercises. Each of them is aimed at the work of a specific facial muscle, elimination of specific problems.

Revitonics: types of gymnastics for the face

There are two types of gymnastics in revitonics:

• vacuum;
• sculptural.

These varieties can be used individually or in combination. Often, experts use two types at the same time to achieve the best result.

Sculptural fitness

This type of facial fitness is used to restore proper function of the muscles of the face and neck - to normalize the tension between the muscles. It consists of a system of exercises, the action of which is aimed at:

• elimination of muscle spasms;
• improved neck posture;
• improved blood flow;
• elimination of swelling and edema;
• normalization of the work of the masticatory muscle group;
• launching lymph drainage in the skin of the face, neck;
• elimination of inflammation.

Sculptural fitness is based on several principles. Among them:

1. Many exercises are based on the 30 second principle. This principle is that the effect on a tense muscle lasts for half a minute. During this time, the body copes with muscle spasm.
2. Another rule of this fitness is stretching. It happens slowly and carefully. Stretching is necessary for the muscle to resume its structure (length) after a spasm.
3. The next step is pre-tension. This stage is preparatory. When prestressing, the muscles are slightly pulled towards each other or in different directions. Duration - until the muscles begin to relax.
4. Next is commit. When fixing, the muscle is held in the desired position for 5 to 7 seconds. This is necessary in order for the muscle to "remember" the new position.
5. The last stage is loading. The pressing force under load is minimal. Its weight is no more than 10 grams.

When carrying out exercises, you should adhere to the correct technique:

• Do not press on the skin, do not stretch it, do not pull. All movements should be smooth, accurate, unhurried.
• At the same time, the penetration of the fingers into the skin is deep (in order to affect the desired muscle). It is necessary to hold the fingers at the starting point on the skin for a few seconds, and then smoothly "submerge" the fingers "inside the tissues."

As a result of gymnastic exercises, the skin becomes smoother and healthier (due to better blood flow, oxygenation of cells).

Vacuum Fitness

This type of revitonics helps with problems with the skin of the face: fine and medium wrinkles, flabby and sagging skin. For procedures, special vacuum jars of different sizes are used.

After just a few "exercises" the skin condition improves noticeably - wrinkles in the forehead and mouth area disappear or decrease, the skin becomes smooth and silky, in addition, the shape of eyebrows and eyes becomes clearer and more beautiful.

The size of the jars used varies depending on the type of cosmetic problem:

• small ones are necessary when processing small areas on the face (nose, lips, near the eyes);
• medium size - for problems with the skin on the cheekbones, near the mouth;
• large ones are used in the presence of wrinkles, processing of large muscles.

Vacuum revitonics is effective:

• with problems with blood circulation (the flow of blood and oxygen into the blood vessels improves);
• lethargy and sagging skin (more collagen and elastin are produced).

What is liquid fitness?

Cosmetologists use special creams for liquid fitness procedures. They are applied using a mesoscooter with gentle massage movements on the surface of the skin of the face and neck.

Thanks to the massage, the beneficial substances from the creams penetrate into the deep layers of the skin.

The result is soft, hydrated skin without irritation and inflammation.

Revitonika: reviews of doctors. Are there any negative

The doctors' comments on this procedure are positive. Specialists from different fields of medicine - neurology, plastic surgery note the good effect of revitonics both in the treatment of diseases of the nervous system (and often such diseases are associated with disorders in the work of the facial and cervical muscles), and during plastic surgery, in the postoperative period.

Most experts agree that the basis of revitonics is quite scientific, and its effect on slowing down the aging process, restoring the normal state of the skin, and muscle work is obvious.

Some doctors claim that revitonics helps only completely healthy people who do not suffer from any diseases. In such cases, facial fitness will be effective. And for those who have swelling, inflammation, spasms of the facial muscles caused by diseases of internal organs or systems, revitonics will be useless.

Contraindications to practicing revitonics

Revitonika is effective not only as a treatment for already obvious problems, but has also proven itself as a preventive method (against the appearance of the first wrinkles, deterioration of the skin condition).

Fitness for the facial and neck muscles is recommended for women of all ages.

At the same time, it does not matter what type of skin.

Revitonics is not desirable for girls under 16 years of age (at this time hormonal changes occur in the body, which often affect the condition of the skin; but over time, such changes on the skin pass on their own, without procedures).

You cannot do the revitonics procedure for those women who have:

• oncological diseases;
• diseases of the lymphatic system;
• high blood pressure (hypertension);
• endocrine system diseases;
• purulent inflammation of the skin;
• malfunctions of the nervous system (brain);
• congenital malformations of the neck;
• general weakness and malaise.

Before deciding on fitness for the face, consultation with a specialist is mandatory (regarding possible contraindications, individual characteristics of the body).

How facebuilding works - muscle gymnastics

Face building is a combination of massage and exercise for the neck and face at the same time.
