People try to prolong the youth of their skin in different ways. Some do this with the help of creams and masks, others go for procedures, give injections and even undergo plastic surgery such as. But few people know that there is a set of physical exercises that increase tone and improve the condition of the skin and affect the shape of the face. And the name of this method is revitonics.

It is a whole set of special exercises specifically designed to eliminate not only the effects of skin aging that affect the appearance, but also the causes of aging itself, as a result the face becomes fresher and younger. Revitonics makes all the muscles work, which in ordinary life practically do not tense on the face.

The author of this technique, revitonics, was Natalya Osmina. Developed back in the mid-90s, the technique was refined and researched so that the method became super effective, scientifically proven and completely safe.

Revitonics exercises became known in our country in 2010, although in many countries it has already reached the peak of popularity. Women in Europe and the Baltics (the birthplace of revitonics) have long been using it to preserve youth.

Exercise system

The idea of ​​the revitonics system formed the basis of a set of exercises. The essence of the revitonics approach lies in the relationship between the musculoskeletal system of our body and the condition of the whole person, including the condition of his skin.

The main causes of aging are swelling, muscle spasms and fascial pulls. Let's take a closer look at these causes of aging.

• Fluid stagnation

Leads to the appearance of a disease - lymphostasis. Lymph stagnates, blood circulation and blood supply to tissues are disrupted, and there is insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrition to skin and muscle cells. Because of this, the skin becomes sagging, its tone decreases, and slow metabolic processes lead to the deposition of fat, on the face this manifests itself on the cheeks and chin.

• Muscle spasm

When constant stress occurs in the muscles, they are in a tense state, and this is called a spasm. An increase in muscle size in a spasmodic state leads to the skin being stretched, and this stretching of the dermis leads to a loss of tone and the appearance of sagging. Revitonics will teach you how to completely relax your muscles, give them the necessary rest and recovery.

• Fascial traction

This terminology is not familiar to everyone, let’s figure out what it is. Fascia is the name given to the membranes of muscles; all muscles are connected to each other and due to this, the so-called soft human skeleton is formed. Therefore, if you have pain, then these fasciae tighten in the area of ​​pain, but they also pull their counterparts on the neck, and they, in turn, pull the muscles and skin of the face. Classes using the revitonics exercise method can remove fascial tension and minimize their consequences.

Revitonics for the face - types

There are two types of revitonics exercises:

• vacuum fitness,
• sculptural fitness.

Vacuum revitonics

For vacuum fitness you need a set of three jars of different sizes. The smallest one is designed to work with small areas on the face: nose, area around the eyes, lips. The medium-sized jar is intended for medium-sized areas, and the largest will help to work on large muscles and even their groups.

Normalization of collagen synthesis in the body, elastin in the skin, general increase in tone, improvement of blood circulation - all this happens thanks to vacuum fitness.

Sculptural revitonics

Sculptural fitness - this type of revitonics includes exercises for the face. During training, muscles are worked out and relaxed, which promotes an influx of nutrition, and therefore improves the condition of the surface of the dermis.

Contraindications

Revitonics in all its manifestations has long been recognized as a successful alternative to plastic surgery. Anyone can master this super-effective method, while revitonics is completely safe and you cannot cause any harm to yourself, since the effect is only physiological.

But, despite all the safety of these fitness activities, there are still contraindications. We will list them. If there are purulent inflammations or lesions on the skin, then classes should be postponed. An obstacle will be the exacerbation of some ailments of the epidermis, as well as the presence of cancer. In case of serious diseases of the nervous system and brain, lymph nodes and blood vessels, revitonics is prohibited.

Feeling unwell is a reason to stop exercising. Lessons under the age of 16 are not recommended.

Unfortunately, youth and beauty are far from eternal categories. Over the years, the skin of the face undergoes significant metamorphoses, causing disappointment and sadness in a person. It becomes atonic, flabby, dry, loses elasticity, shape and contour of the face. However, there is no reason for sadness and despair, since every woman can improve the quality and structure of her skin on her own. There is a magical remedy that allows you to restore youth and beauty. In addition, you don’t have to spend a lot of time, effort and money for this. This magical remedy is called Revitonics - a set of facial exercises that have been widely known for many years.

Over the years, when the first signs of aging appear on the skin, each woman resorts to different methods to eliminate them. Some people accept injection methods of rejuvenation, some resort to radical surgical methods, and others use anti-age cosmetics and hardware cosmetology.

However, few people know that there are effective and completely safe methods for rejuvenating the face and neck. Such methods include Revitonics.

Revitonics is a facial massage that involves a set of special exercises that can eliminate age-related skin defects.

However, it should be said that revitonics operates not just with exercises that improve the condition of the skin, it is a unique rejuvenating program, also healing, built on the principle of activating the internal reserves of the body. As a result of this program, metabolic processes in the dermis are improved, skin structures are regenerated, and skin nutrition is normalized. The program is designed in such a way that working with the facial muscles has a rejuvenating and restorative effect.

Methodology of Natalia Osminina

The technique was developed by Natalya Osminina. It was thanks to her innovative technique that the whole world learned about a safe and simple method of rejuvenation.

The author of this technique emphasizes the importance of separating muscles based on their purpose and tasks. For example, muscle hypertonicity can lead to sagging skin and fascial traction, and spasm of facial muscles leads to the formation of wrinkles. In this case, wrinkles appear in the following places:

• on the bridge of the nose;
• on the forehead;
• around the mouth;
• on the chin.

Changes in the masticatory muscles result in:

• deformations of the jaw area;
• deformational ptosis of soft tissues;
• shortening of the jaw arch;
• change in facial proportions.

And deformation of the facial bones of the skull leads to their reduction in size and volume, and also plays a significant role in sagging skin.

An important element of youth is the neck. Many people mistakenly believe that skin aging is only about wrinkles. But this is far from true. Age-related skin changes are evidenced primarily by loss of skin volume and the condition of the neck. In addition, aging of the neck is associated with improper neck posture, the so-called hyperlordosis (excessive curvature of the cervical spine). Such changes lead to the appearance of a double chin and weakness of the neck muscles.

Also, with the help of revitonics, as the main cosmetic and therapeutic tool, it is possible to eliminate an important problem - swelling that occurs as a result of excess fluid in the interstitial space. Since swelling interferes with normal skin nutrition, blood circulation and lymph outflow, solving this problem is of paramount importance.

However, according to the author of the technique, the true cause of aging is not skin problems; on the contrary, changes in the skin are a consequence of aging. The cause of aging is spasms of muscle tissue, as a result of which creases, cracks and sagging appear on the skin.

Natalia Osminina's basic course includes ten classic exercises, each of which is aimed at tightening and rejuvenating facial skin, smoothing wrinkles and even improving facial contours, in other words, eliminating a specific problem.

Why do we grow old?

Many of the greatest minds of humanity are struggling with the problem of aging, despite the fact that the mechanism of aging has been known for a long time. Aging is a process that is determined by a combination of many factors. Which ones exactly?

1. Stagnation of fluid in the body. Excess fluid in the body can lead to a condition called lymphedema. When lymph stagnation occurs, blood circulation and blood supply to skin cells are disrupted. This leads to atony and sagging skin. Also, all metabolic processes in the cells slow down, and the muscles begin to experience stress.
2. Stress. As a result of constant muscle tension, their spasms develop. During a spasm, the muscles increase in volume and experience stress. This muscle condition leads to skin stretching, sagging and atony.
3. Fascial traction. Fascia is the sheath of muscle. In the human body, all muscles are connected to each other. When muscle pain occurs, the fascia spasms in this area. From a physiological point of view, the fascial system is defined as an integral communication system. Fascia envelops our entire body, connecting close and distant areas with each other. By understanding the processes based on the patterns of fascial chains, you can understand not only the reasons that cause the aging of the body, but also model your face, change its shape and features, and consciously take part in the rejuvenation process.

What skin defects can Revitonics eliminate?

The goal of Revitonics is to rejuvenate the face by balancing the relaxation and tension of the facial muscles.

Thus, the exercise complex of this program promotes:

• restoration of posture;
• improving blood circulation;
• relieving neck muscle statics;
• improving the functioning of chewing and facial muscles;
• activation of lymphatic outflow;

Thanks to the above vector directions, the following improvements and changes occur:

• the clarity of the oval face and the clarity of the jaw line are restored;
• stagnant processes are eliminated;
• skin structure improves;
• skin smoothness returns;
• wrinkles are eliminated;
• double chin is eliminated;
• Lifting of soft tissues is provided.

Types of exercises from the Revitonics program

This therapeutic method can be divided into two types:

• sculptural fitness;
• vacuum fitness.

The sculpting method is a set of gymnastic exercises that affects the muscles of the face and neck. This set of exercises allows you to work each muscle, tone it, and then relax it. As a result, spasms, swelling, and swelling are relieved. These exercises stimulate blood circulation, improve blood flow and cellular metabolic processes.

The vacuum type is a hardware method of revitonics, since its implementation requires devices that generate vacuum. Using this method, you can improve blood circulation and cell nutrition. The peculiarity of these methods is that they allow you to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin. When using the vacuum method, jars of different sizes are used, which allows them to be used on different areas of the face. For example, small jars are used on delicate areas of the face: the area around the eyes and lips. Medium-sized jars are designed to target the orbicularis oris muscle and cheekbones. Large cups are used to smooth out wrinkles and stimulate large facial muscles.

Are there any contraindications?

Despite the fact that this gymnastic complex cannot cause any harm to the body, there are some contraindications that should be taken into account:

• inflammation of the skin in the form of acne and purulent rashes;
• dermatological diseases;
• autoimmune and oncological diseases;
• viral diseases (herpes) on the face;
• diseases of the nervous system;
• age restrictions up to 18 years.

Basic exercises from the Revitonics complex

Before starting a set of exercises, you should consult with a specialist who will help you choose the necessary set of exercises to solve a specific problem. Because to solve each problem there is a special set of exercises that allows you to eliminate it and achieve the desired result.

The effects on the skin are performed for no more than 30 seconds, this is exactly the amount of time needed to relieve muscle spasm.

Exercise No. 1

Goal: working out the trapezius muscles to improve blood circulation in the face.

• raise one shoulder up;
• pull the raised shoulder back, trying to direct the shoulder blade towards the spine;
• turn your head in the opposite direction;
• tilt your head and press it to your shoulder;
• remain in this position for 30 seconds;
• slowly return to the starting position.

The dream of any woman is to always remain young and beautiful, but over time, irreversible processes happen to everyone. Somewhere the slender body disappears, the joints begin to deform, the royal posture disappears, unsightly folds, wrinkles and age spots appear. The oval of the face and the skin of the neck are especially modified. Swelling and bags in the eye area, double chin, nasolabial folds increasing every day, all these signs of aging make every woman constantly upset.

The older a woman gets, the more she dreams of returning her former beauty to her appearance. And then everything comes into play: miraculous masks, cosmetic procedures, plastic surgeries, trips to charlatans who promise miraculous rejuvenation in one visit. Sometimes one of the above helps, sometimes it causes irreparable harm to appearance and health. So what should ladies do, whose age is approaching the point after which signs of aging become noticeable to the eye?

It’s not too late to take care of yourself at any time; you shouldn’t give up, believing that only young girls can correct their figure and improve their appearance.

You only need to understand one thing: the older a woman is, the longer it takes to take care of herself.

Fitness will help give you a slim figure; you just don’t need to forget that when playing sports, it’s the system that’s important. Only exercises, the course of which is recommended by an experienced instructor, can help to model a figure after a certain time. It’s also a good idea to think about properly selected diets: a separate nutrition method or a protein diet; each woman herself must determine what best suits her body.

But the main problem of any woman of post-Balzac age is skin aging. Wrinkles around the eyes, loose skin in the neck area, blurred facial contours—these are signs of approaching old age that cannot be hidden under clothes or veiled with cosmetics. First, various expensive creams and anti-aging capsules are used, the course of which costs fabulous money, after which many decide to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon.

But there are methods by which you can give your facial skin a blooming, healthy look and restore lost youth to it, without using the services of plastic surgery.

In science, this direction is called biogymnastics.

So what is it? In simple terms, this is gymnastics for all facial muscles. Many researchers have developed a whole set of special exercises for the eyes, facial muscles and neck - the places where it is easiest to determine how old a woman is. This method of rejuvenation has been known for quite a long time, the exercises, the course of which must be performed, are simple and effective, but one should not forget that here, first of all, the system is important, otherwise the result will not be noticeable. Reviews from those who have mastered the set of exercises and done them regularly are the most positive.

A method called “Revitonika”, what is it?

There are many methods that guarantee those who start using them on themselves an instant result, but the method discussed below does not promise that a miraculous transformation will happen on its own; this method requires people to perform the exercises for a long time and systematically, only in this way thus guaranteeing the result.

The Revitonics exercise system is fitness for the muscles of the face, neck and skin in the eye area, the founder of this direction is Natalya Osminina, a well-known specialist who has long and fruitfully been involved in the rehabilitation of muscles in the facial area. Since 2010, Natalya Osminina has been promoting the method of natural skin rejuvenation using special devices and manual influence on the muscles of the face and neck. The recommended exercises are based on the principle of adjusting muscle tension and relaxation. The method is based on deep knowledge of biomechanics, biohydraulics, manual modeling and rehabilitation techniques.

The motto of this direction in the field of facial rejuvenation can be called the following phrase: “Revitonika, turn back time”, this is exactly what Osminina promises to those who master the whole range of exercises. Like any new endeavor, Osminina’s method has many supporters and opponents, their reviews are diametrically different. To more accurately understand whether it is worth using it, you need to understand what this method is.

Revitonics are special exercises combined into a complex, designed to pump up certain muscles; each specific course of movements performed can solve a specific problem: remove wrinkles, improve lymphatic drainage, tighten the muscles around the eyes. This kind of facial fitness can be done on your own if you carefully study the video lessons, where the basic course of classes is clearly outlined, or by reading Natalia’s books.

What exactly does such gymnastics give?

A system of exercises performed for a month can radically change your appearance; the changes will become noticeable not only to the person doing the exercises, but also to those around you.

Reviews from those who systematically complete at least the basic course indicate that:

• the facial oval changes, it becomes clear, the double chin disappears,
• blood flow improves in all tissues, which leads to the formation of a clear oval contour,
• gymnastics forms a beautiful jaw line,
• bags in the eye area go away,
• wrinkles disappear.

After just a few trainings, everyone who was distrustful of this technique notices an improvement in their appearance. This means that Revitonics, despite negative reviews from some people, can be considered an alternative method of rejuvenation, which is quite capable of replacing plastic surgery. This opinion exists not only among ordinary people, but many doctors confirm that the skin seems to regain its youth after a set of exercises.

What is the method based on?

This technique is based on deep knowledge in the field of osteopathy, used to rejuvenate and restore skin tone. The entire set of exercises, divided into certain blocks, is designed to restart metabolic processes in the body, increase the rate of lymph exchange, resulting in a noticeable tightening of the skin on the face, the effect of these actions is very similar to the lifting effect. With regular exercise, capillaries are restored, swelling disappears, especially in the eye area, bags and wrinkles disappear.

The basic course is aimed at:

1. Restoration of posture and mobility in the cervical spine.
2. Relieving muscle tension.
3. Starting lymph exchange in the body.
4. Stimulation of the circulatory system.
5. Strengthening the muscles responsible for facial expressions.
6. Restoration of masticatory muscles.
7. Unlocking the natural potential of self-regulation processes.

Gymnastics for the skin, principle of action

So, what are the principles of action, and how does the founder of the method see the problem of aging?

Literature worth reading

Anyone who is truly interested in this technique should read Osminina’s books on the topic of rejuvenation.

The book “Resurrection of the Face or an Ordinary Miracle,” published in 2015, explains in detail the author’s position and reveals many secrets of the human body. The miracle it talks about is a description of the hidden capabilities of the body and methods for revealing them.

It is widely believed that facial aging is mainly expressed in wrinkles and folds on the skin, its sagging and loss of elasticity. This is a primitive and superficial view. There are about 60 muscles hidden under the skin, which are attached to 29 bones of the skull. Change starts there, within. And the skin is just the last bastion, losing ground under the pressure of deformation and drying out of the facial muscle corset, poor posture, spasms and tensions caused by stress.

This approach allowed us to take a broader look at the aging process and develop a revolutionary rejuvenation technique that has no analogues in terms of effectiveness and stability of results.

"Revitonika" is a scientific and practical method of rejuvenation and appearance correction, based on:

• equalizing the tension of skeletal and facial muscles;
• restoration of lymphatic drainage;
• relieving spasms of the muscles of the face and neck by regulating emotional tension.

The method is based on 3 scientifically proven principles:

1. Incorrect posture, especially in the cervicothoracic region, directly increases facial deformations (Thomas W. Myers, 2012, Le Louarn C., Buthiau D., Buis J., 2007, etc.). Thus, spasms of the trapezius and occipital muscles trigger excitation of the frontal muscle, stimulating the appearance of wrinkles and creases and provoking frontotemporal headaches (Petrov K.B., Mitichkina T.V., 2010).

2. Facial aging is based on tension in the facial muscles and associated deformation of the facial covering. Analysis of the patients' condition shows that visually assessed age-related changes depend on the degree of shortening, tension and spasm of the facial muscles. (Le Louarn C., Buthiau D., 2007, Mingazova L.R., 2005).

3. A negative emotional background increases tension in the facial and neck muscles (V. Volov, 2014). The mechanisms of psychological defense and protective behavior form “muscle armor” and muscle patterns, expressed in the tension of various muscles (W. Reich, 2000). Experienced anxiety and fear lead to tension in the muscles of the neck, back and abdomen, tight breathing, stiffness of movement, and stooping (Thomas W. Myers, 2012). Emotional tension is also localized at the level of the facial muscles - in the area of ​​facial and masticatory muscles.

Revitonica system

“Revitonika” is a set of techniques and exercises for systematic training to launch the rejuvenation process and restore impaired body functions. Participants carry out independent work to equalize the balance of the front and back surfaces of the body, establish lymphatic drainage, lift the face, restore the capillary network and reduce swelling of the supracranial aponeurosis.

The scientific development of the method is carried out on the basis of the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Medical Rehabilitation, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine under the Moscow Department of Health.

Practical activities are carried out at the School of Natural Rejuvenation “Revitonika” (medical license LO-77-01-011603) on Leninsky Prospekt. Since 2010, Anastasia Dmitrievna Dubinskaya has been the head of the school. The school staff consists of doctors, medical massage specialists, specialists in the field of physical education, and psychologists. Currently, the Revitonics method has been mastered by about 20,000 people around the world.

In 2011, the results of testing Sculptural Fitness for the face were obtained at the Center for Rehabilitation and Kinesiotherapy “KINESIO” (the head of the testing was a doctor of restorative medicine, surgeon Viktor Vladimirovich Kravchenko). According to research, sculptural fitness “Revitonika” is a universal method for preventing cervical osteochondrosis, reducing gravitational ptosis of the lower third of the face, restoring a clear separation between the neck and jaw line, and getting rid of fat deposits in the jaw area. Face and neck lifting is noted as a result of exercises in the vast majority of people undergoing testing.

Differences from other rejuvenation methods

The absence of surgical intervention and associated injuries distinguishes Revitonics from plastic surgery. "Revitonika" acts not on the consequences of age-related changes, but on their cause, prolonging and restoring the natural youth of the face and neck. "Revitonika" keeps the face mobile and alive, with unique individual features. Fitness exercises for the face do not require a recovery period, and the risk of complications is eliminated. One set of exercises can restore youth to several areas at once, which is unattainable with plastic surgery. "Revitonika" triggers the body's self-renewal mechanisms, improving not only the aesthetic appearance, but also your health in general. The method is effective where surgery is powerless: in restoring the shape of the chin, the youthful angle of the jaw, and lengthening the neck.

Unlike any other facial gymnastics, Revitonics is based on knowledge about the biomechanics of aging. The method takes into account the differences between muscle types and suggests working with them in different ways. We are against exercises aimed at pumping up the muscles of the face and neck, as this has nothing to do with their youth.

The advantage of “Revitonika” over the use of cosmetic products is that the method is completely hypoallergenic, because it does not involve the use of foreign agents. Our skin receives from the body a unique cocktail of trace elements, enzymes, nutrients and vitamins, which is produced directly by your body. “Revitonika” classes restore the body’s ability to nourish the skin of the face, of course, in combination with the right diet.

Face and neck lifting: anatomical basis of the “Revitonika” method

Our body is anatomically structured by connective tissue - fascia. Fascia is a stretchy connective tissue that envelops your muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves, and, along with aponeuroses, the entire body under the layer of skin.

From a physiological point of view, the fascial complex can be defined as an integral communication system of the body. By controlling muscle tension, fascia entangles our entire body, connecting the head and face with distant parts of the limbs (Fig. 2). A deep understanding of internal relationships, based on diagrams of fascial chains, makes it possible not only to understand the causes of most age-related changes, but also to model our face, change its features and shape, and consciously participate in the process of its rejuvenation.

Figure 1. Fascia of the face and neck

Every “age-related” problem has a cause in the form of a complex fascial disorder of the body. And answers to the questions: Why did wrinkles form on the forehead? Why did nasolabial folds appear? Why did the eyebrows droop and the clear contours of the face oval get lost? do not lie at all in the plane of cosmetology working with facial skin. The face is a natural extension of the body, so most of the causes of age-related changes in the face are precisely in the imbalance of skeletal muscles, the front and back surfaces of the body, the condition of the musculoskeletal system, posture, and neck statics.

For example, one of the most common culprits in the formation of double chins and facial swelling is often spasm (hypertonicity) of the occipital muscle group, which contributes to the disruption of the outflow of fluids and their accumulation in tissues.

By working through the balance of fascial tension, restoring posture, neck statics, blood and lymph flow, we are able to give a new stimulus to the body’s self-regulation mechanisms, and thus get rid of many “age-related” defects. Long-term practice demonstrates that those who practice the “Revitonika” system experience a clear improvement in the statics of the spine, a reduction in hyperlordosis and kyphosis, torsion and other problems of the musculoskeletal system, and as a result, restoration of the balance of the facial muscles, the return of youthful features and proportions.

Development of the method. Massage techniques.

SOEL(Stress Obliteration @ Effective Face Lift) is a method of neuromuscular relaxation that works not only with muscle tension, but also reduces emotional tension. Based on the principle of facial feedback (R. Ekman, R. Levinson, W. Friesen, 1983). The method has been used at the Revitonika clinic on Leninsky Prospekt for more than 4 years.

It is well known that a negative emotional background plays a separate role in the formation of tension in the facial and neck muscles. The experienced emotions of fear are consolidated in the skeletal muscles, which is expressed in constant stooping, tension in the muscle structures of the neck, back and abdomen, constricted breathing, stiffness of movements. Muscle tension is localized on the level of the facial muscles - in the area of ​​facial and masticatory muscles.

Of course, the main female weapon is beauty, which, no matter how sad it may be, disappears over the years. The skin becomes flabby, elasticity is lost, folds and wrinkles appear, and the facial contour loses its shape. However, age is not a sentence, since a beautiful, youthful appearance is accessible to every woman if she strives for it. One of the secrets, or even the magic key, that opens the door to youth is revitonics, which has been practiced for several decades. This article is dedicated to the description of a specific anti-aging event.

Fitness revitonics - what is it?

It is necessary to start with the fact that sooner or later the skin of the face becomes soft, flabby, wrinkles and other signs of aging appear, and for this reason every woman strives to stop degenerative processes. Some use skincare cosmetics for these purposes, applying creams and tonics to the skin, while others visit salons in order to achieve maximum results using physiotherapeutic procedures. The most desperate even go under the knife, using plastic surgery as an anti-aging tool.

However, few people know that there are more effective and safe methods that not only improve the condition of the skin and facial contours in general, but also stimulate internal metabolic processes that are responsible for rejuvenation. Revitonics is one of these techniques of eternal beauty. Speaking in general terms, revitonics is a facial massage, which is a set of special exercises aimed at correcting appearance.

It should be noted that these are not just exercises that make you look good - such a statement would be misleading. This is a completely unique rejuvenating, and most importantly healing program, built on the principle of activating the internal potential of the body, as a result of which metabolic processes are normalized, the synthesis of restorative components is improved and the nutrition of the integument is improved.

Revitonics exercises are carried out independently at home, although you can resort to the help of specialists. As part of the procedure, special points are massaged according to the principle of energy centers, and the load is also distributed in a special way to certain muscle groups. Only if the muscles of the face and neck are in good shape will the skin have a pleasant, toned contour and color.

Revitonics system by Natalia Osminina

It is important to note that such an event as revitonics facial fitness is the “brainchild” of Natalia Osminina, who developed it in the first half of the 90s. At that time, the future innovator was looking for the secret of eternal youth, being a specialist in the field of hardware cosmetology. And by the will of fate, Natalya opens her own business and begins a practice that spreads throughout Western Europe, and then comes to Eastern Europe.

Revitonics took root in our country not so long ago, since the method underwent clinical trials for a long time, during which the benefits of the procedure for the face were studied. It is important to note here that the described procedure is virtually harmless, and therefore it is very difficult to come across negative reviews related to revitonics.

The author claims that the true cause of aging is not skin problems at all, here it’s the other way around, skin problems are a consequence. The root cause is a spasm of muscle tissue, as a result of which kinks, wrinkles and sagging appear on the face. Thus, if you tone your facial muscles, you can forget about the signs of age that scare every girl so much.

The basic course that Natalya describes consists of ten classic exercises, each of which has a specific meaning and is aimed at combating specific problems. The main types of massage effects will be described in more detail in the following paragraphs, but it is important to understand what levers Natalia Osminina’s system affects.

The first problem that can be solved using revitonics as the main cosmetic and therapeutic tool is stagnation of fluid in the cells. Due to stagnation of fluid, the nutrition of the skin, muscles and other tissues in the body is disrupted, as well as swelling of the face and bruises under the eyes. The described system is used for fascial traction (damage to the soft surface of the muscles connecting them to each other). And of course, a specific method is most relevant when fighting muscle spasms.

Types of gymnastics for the face revitonics

Revitonics has several directions that can be implemented simultaneously, and therefore this method of physiotherapeutic influence can be divided into two types:

• sculptural fitness;
• vacuum fitness.

Sculptural revitonics is a set of gymnastic exercises that allow you to concentrate the impact on the muscles of the face and neck. A complex of such processes allows you to use every muscle, first toning it, and then relaxing it, relieving spasm, swelling, edema and inflammation. These manipulations are designed to stimulate blood flow to the skin and improve cellular respiration of the integument.

The vacuum type of revitonics is instrumental, since its implementation requires special devices that allow creating a vacuum. Using these effects, you can significantly improve subcutaneous blood circulation and, accordingly, stimulate the nutrition of the integument. The peculiarity of these targeted cosmetic processes makes it possible to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which is characterized by a significant effect.

The main tools of the described type of revitonics are vacuum jars of different sizes, which makes it possible to solve various cosmetic problems. Small jars are designed to treat small areas, such as lips, nose, and the area around the eyes. Medium therapeutic cups make it possible to restore the orbicularis oris muscle, cheekbones, etc. Accordingly, the largest size of special devices allows you to smooth out wrinkles and stimulate the largest muscles of the face.

A set of exercises for cheekbones, lips, skin around the eyes and forehead
