You may have noticed that some people began to wear unusual stripes on various parts of the body. Like a band-aid. This technique is called taping and is extremely popular in improving the body and rejuvenation. Does kinesiotaping really help, or is it just a fashion statement? Let’s figure it out together.
What is taping?
Kinesiotapes were invented by the Japanese Kenzo KASE to facilitate the postoperative condition of the muscles and bone system, to speed up the work with hematomas and edema. Elastic bands are attached to certain areas — tendons or muscles-allowing you to improve their condition. Usually, the tapes were used by athletes, but in recent years they have become popular in many areas. Including in cosmetology.
Thanks to these elastic bands, the muscles return to their tone, properly compress and unclench. So the right facial habits are developed, and this allows you to smooth out wrinkles and creases.
Also, tapes help speed up blood and lymph flow, reduce pain, normalize muscle function, remove puffiness, and improve cell nutrition. In other words, this is the normalization of physiological processes, only without drugs and aggressive techniques.
Benefits of taping
Taping the face allows you to improve the appearance. The most basic: removal of edema. For many, this significantly changes the appearance. But to reinforce the result, you need to use the procedure constantly: otherwise, the effect will not accumulate.
Taping allows you to” retrain ” facial expressions. When placing the tapes on the starting points of the permanent voltage for a certain time, you can remove strong facial patterns. After removing the tapes, the result will be noticeable instantly: the face becomes fresh, smooth. Young skin will last about a day, age-related face-a few hours. At the same time, the result depends on individual characteristics: posture, chronic diseases, problems with the neck or face.
It is most effective to apply taping during sleep, removing nighttime swelling, nervous tension, creases and other problems with the face.
Taping and cosmetology
Taping is suitable for traumatic procedures. It is used as a recovery after a thread lift, volumetric contouring. In all cases, a person faces edema, and the tapes will remove them.
Taping can be used as an anti-wrinkle treatment after sleep. When a person sleeps on his side, the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and cheeks is characteristic. Thanks to this method, it is possible to fix the problem.
Finally, taping can become a “get out” procedure: before an important event, it will not be superfluous to use it, but remember that the effect in this case will only last for a few hours.
