Japanese Asahi facial massage is a unique oriental technique aimed at maintaining skin youthfulness and preventing the first signs of aging. The technique is considered an affordable and effective alternative to hardware methods and facial plastic surgery. Rejuvenating Japanese Asahi massage can be done both by people themselves and by taking a course of procedures in a cosmetology salon. The visible effect can be achieved by regular self-massaging combined with high-quality home skincare.
How it works
Japanese Asahi facial massage is aimed at a deep impact on the musculoskeletal system and bone structures. It can act as a substitute for intensive face fitness because it gives an excellent lymphatic drainage effect. The procedure is based on ancient Japanese techniques that have been practiced for centuries. During the massage, the tone and tightness of the muscles are returned, blood supply and metabolism in the deep layers of soft tissues are improved. Massage movements help to eliminate the toxins and fluid excess. Unlike other techniques, Japanese massage is performed with sharp, intense actions, so it may not be suitable for women with a low pain threshold and very sensitive skin.
Indications for the procedure
It is recommended to take a course of Japanese Asahi massage in case of the following indications:
- facial wrinkles, skin creases;
- Deep nasolabial folds;
- ptosis of the skin, oval face clarity loss;
- face edema;
- Bags under the eyes;
- second chin;
- skin flabbiness.
It's recommended to take Asahi facial massage to women in their 40s. During this age period, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, the metabolism slows down, and the muscles begin to lose tone. At the same time, if you have a thin face and no tendency to edema, it is better to choose another, more delicate massage technique.
Japanese Asahi massage contraindications
It's contraindicated to take the procedure in case of the following conditions:
- lymph nodes and blood vessels diseases;
- malignant neoplasms;
- rashes or an active inflammatory process in the area where the procedure is supposed to be done;
- infectious diseases accompanied by high body temperature;
- pathologies of the blood clotting system;
- severe course of sugar diabetes;

If there are contraindications, it is better to choose another method of rejuvenation that will not harm your health, liquid nitrogen massage, for example. The cosmetologist will tell you in detail what benefits cryomassage has and how to perform this procedure.
