Revitonika. A detailed video course of basic exercises from Natalia Osminina, Anastasia Dubinskaya. Reviews of doctors

A set of special exercises for the face (face building) is an effective alternative to plastic surgery methods for tightening the oval and muscle tone, and rejuvenating the appearance.

Numerous original Facebook building courses are available today, sold as courses in the form of video tutorials. One of the most effective is considered to be a course called "Revitonika", developed in the 90s by a Russian doctor specializing in helping to restore the musculoskeletal system and facial muscles, Natalia Borisovna Osminina.

Revitonics - fitness technique for rejuvenating appearance, face gymnastics

Revitonics, first of all, is aimed at a comprehensive tightening of the facial muscles, toning the skin, getting rid of flews, Bisha's lumps, manifestations of signs of aging - deep nasolabial folds, wrinkles and sagging skin.

The author of the methodology scientifically substantiates each set of exercises and the rules for their implementation, which favorably distinguishes this course from many analogues that do not have any confirmation from science and medicine.

Over the years, the technique has been improved, supplemented with useful elements and getting rid of the least effective ones. And in 2004, the final version of it was created, which incorporated the most effective techniques and methods for different age groups of patients.

The revitonics is based on vacuum massage and sculptural fitness. Each of the techniques solves certain problems and is aimed at toning the facial muscles, correcting the shape and oval of the face.

With the help of the technique, such problems are solved as:

1. Swelling. Unfavorable environmental conditions of life, not always a healthy diet and lack of proper rest lead to circulatory disorders of small and large vessels, lymphostasis. The consequence of this is excessive fluid accumulation (puffiness), dark circles under the eyes, deterioration of the general condition of the dermis.
2. Muscle spasms. Frequent stress and tension prevent the muscles from relaxing. Therefore, along with the muscles, the skin is also in tension, which over time stretches and loses its elastic properties.
3. Stretching the fascia. All ligaments in the human body are connected to each other. Therefore, when a muscle spasm occurs in one place, it affects (always to varying degrees) the facial fascia, giving them an extra load. As a result, the general tone of the muscular skeleton of a person decreases.

What revitonics gives

Regular exercises are able to effectively tighten the oval of the face in a short time, get rid of deep facial wrinkles.

After completing the full course, the following effects are observed:

1. Smoothing the relief of the skin and improving skin color.
2. Normalization of facial volume. In places with an increased fat layer (cheeks, chin), its amount will significantly decrease.
3. A clear oval, geometrically harmonious face.
4. Disappearance of swelling, edema. Disappearance of fine wrinkles, reduction of deep ones.
5. Toning the nasolabial triangle.
6. Rejuvenation of the neck, increased elasticity of the skin in this area.
7. Improving the appearance of the eyes. Raising eyebrows and overhanging eyelids.
8. Correction of incorrect posture, strengthening of the upper back.

All of these effects can be achieved to varying degrees. It depends on the age and individual characteristics of the organism. However, a complete lack of result when applying the technique is excluded.

Results: Before and after photos

The photo (below) clearly shows the result after a 3-week course. Decreased overall facial swelling (especially in the area of ​​the nose and eyes). Bags and dark circles under the eyes began to stand out much less. The chin and neck were lifted.

Prolonged training in adulthood helps to get rid of such serious problems as flews, flabby, sagging neck skin, strong facial asymmetry. In the photographs presented, the woman looks 10 years younger. There are no deep wrinkles on the forehead, the nasolabial fold is strongly smoothed.

The results from facial fitness are amazing, they are indeed, in some cases, an alternative to plastic surgery.

Are there any negative reviews

Doctors of various specializations in the majority approve and support Osminina's method, since its concept is based on carefully developed medical information about the structure and work of the whole body (and mainly the musculoskeletal system).

Negative reviews in the overall percentage are negligible. These are people who lacked regularity and conscientiousness, they did not get the expected results.

There is a separate category of people to whom revitonics brought discomfort or severe pain. This is due to ignorance of the state of your spine and the fact that the system has contraindications.

For example, it is forbidden to do exercises for those who:

• there are congenital or acquired deformities of the spine and head;
• high blood pressure;
• inflammation of the facial or trigeminal nerves;
• serious chronic diseases and pathologies of any organ system;
• increased fragility of bones (osteoporosis).

If applied, this category of people will only aggravate their condition. Therefore, if it is impossible to clearly determine the presence of problems, it is important to consult a doctor. There may be several of them - a neurologist, an osteopath, an orthopedic surgeon, etc.

Complete basic course

The basic course includes 40 different exercises that affect and train all facial muscles and ligaments to varying degrees. The main exercises that are useful to master first are shown in this table.

Facial massage to reduce wrinkles

Vacuum fitness is a massage with small vacuum cups. It helps to reduce facial swelling, improve metabolism at the cellular level, as well as complete facial rejuvenation. The most effective massage is combined with sculptural fitness.

Before starting the session, you need to cleanse your face and smear it liberally with cosmetic oil. The skin should be warm (for example, after a light hand massage or a hot shower).

Vacuum massage can be static or dynamic. With static, the cans are attached to large areas of the facial skin (cheeks, forehead, chin) for a period of 5 seconds to a minute (no longer recommended).

With dynamic massage, the vacuum should be very small, the time of static exposure is minimal. The diameter of the can is average - 2.5-4 cm. This will help to avoid bruising and unnecessary stretching of the epidermis. Do not vacuum the delicate skin around the eyes.

When massaging the cheeks, start from the middle of the nasolabial fold (laugh line) and slowly lead the jar up to the cheekbone and temple. Do not grab the skin over the cheekbone with the jar.

The jaw line massage takes place in two approaches. It is necessary to conditionally divide it in half and place your finger in the middle. The movement of the can should be from finger to chin and from finger to ear. Thus, by holding the skin, excessive stretching is prevented.

The chin area is massaged in a circular motion, without gripping the corners of the mouth. In the forehead area, you first need to draw a line from the bridge of the nose up to the hairline. Then from the center of the forehead to the temples. Each manipulation is carried out no more than 5-7 times, until the skin becomes reddened. During the first session, up to 3 times.

The massage is performed within 15-35 minutes. After the session, it is important to cleanse your face again by thoroughly rinsing off the oil. The massage course consists of 8-12 sessions, which are carried out at intervals of 2-3 days, no more. A second course is possible in a month.

Important! Before starting a vacuum fitness course, it is important, on your own or with the help of a doctor, to exclude the presence of diseases or factors in which this type of massage is prohibited.
