Description

The method relates to medicine, in particular to cosmetology, and is intended to rejuvenate the face, neck and body. Age-related changes in the skin of the face and neck are a projection of the general condition of an aging organism, leading to psychoemotional discomfort, so an intensive search for new methods to eliminate these signs is ongoing.

Numerous methods of plastic surgery are known, aimed only at the visual effect of skin rejuvenation, not affecting the structure and healing of the skin, including a method of skin rejuvenation by implantation of gold threads and / or biopolymer gel in the dermis in the direction of wrinkles and skin folds and under them with the purpose of filling them, paragraphs No. 2135122С, IPC A61F 2/02, A61F 2/10, A61B 17/00, 08/27/1999.

A known method of rejuvenation of the face and neck using electrical stimulation of the muscles of the face and neck, providing a healing effect on the whole body, paragraphs. No. 2033141, IPC A61H 39/00, A61N 1/32, 04/20/1995, which allows you to form the correct oval of the face, eliminate swelling on the face, increase turgor and elasticity of the skin of the face and neck, accelerate blood circulation, increase tissue metabolism. This method is effective in working with people up to 50 years of age with a loose type of face, requires special equipment and special preparation for the procedure.

A known method for the prevention and treatment of age-related changes in the skin of the face and neck by stimulating local blood circulation by redistributing blood flow in the pools of the external carotid arteries in a certain mode, pl. No. 2237463, IPC A61H 7/00, 10/10/2004, which does not affect the muscular system and does not remove pathological muscle memory.

Known devices for vibro-acoustic massage, accelerating the movement of lymph, blood and other fluids in various tissues, paragraphs. No. 2022551, IPC A61H 23/00, 11/15/94, paragraphs. No. 2413493 IPC A61H 23/00, 03/10/2011. Some of them work in a limited area from 10 to 5000 Hz, others within the infrasound range (0-19 Hz), that is, do not affect the flight area (from 7000 Hz and above), which is widely known in vocal practice and is able to enhance vibration, stimulate blood supply, which is noted visually, as the complexion instantly changes and turns pink. A device is known that operates in an extended zone from 1 Hz to 10 kHz with a smooth supply of resonant frequency signals from a controlled generator, pp. No. 2197217, IPC A61H 23/00, 01/27/2003. This invention has a limitation in the high-frequency zone, which is able to perceive the human ear (20 kHz) and respond to the effect from the point of view of auditory and bone conduction. In addition, the smooth delivery of signals does not fully solve the problem of finding the optimal modes to achieve a healing effect and does not completely exclude the modes of adverse effects at individual frequencies.

Known methods of vibrational manual massage as an alternative to plastic surgery for non-surgical face lifting, paragraphs. No. 2388449, IPC A61H 7/00, A61H 23/00, 05/10/2010, formation of the cheekbone and oval face, paragraphs. No. 2471470, IPC A61H 23/00, 01/10/2013, which use the original power effects, a significant drawback of which is the long duration, energy consumption and multi-stage restoration work (for example, 89 steps). There is a method of eliminating defects in the face and neck, aimed at burning subcutaneous fat and reducing muscle mass, restoring the elasticity of the muscles and ligaments of the soft tissues of the face and neck using high-speed spiral-shaped grindings up to 200-250 movements per minute, pp. No. 2086222, IPC A61H 7/00, A61H 23/06, A61K 7/48, 08/10/1997. This method uses oil-based cream suspensions. As practice shows, the use of creams gives a quick effect, but often disrupts the respiration of the skin, as it leads to depletion of tissue resources, disrupting the natural metabolism of tissues.

There is also a method of eliminating wrinkles using techniques according to the method of Dr. Artemov, which is carried out using myofascial relaxation, paragraphs. No. 2295325, IPC A61H 1/00, 03.20.2007. The additional technique proposed by the inventor for relaxing facial muscles by palpating and stretching tissue with twisting movements requires high qualification, since it can lead to overstretching and sagging skin, can only be performed by a specialist trained in this type of massage with a medical background and additional osteopathic training. In addition, the horizontal relaxation technique, when the patient falls asleep, does not solve the problem of overcoming gravity in the conditions of the vertical wakefulness position, in which we have to spend a very long time, in which the muscles of the face and body take the usual “drooping” position during the lowering effect of gravity which increases with time.

The closest is a method of facial rejuvenation, which provides tension of the skin-muscle tissue of the face up and back against the lowering effect of gravity using massage techniques of stimulation that affect the skin and muscles of the face, head and neck, paragraphs. No. 2369375, IPC A61H 7/00, 10/10/2009.

The objective of the invention is to prevent the formation of wrinkles and increase the efficiency of the process of rejuvenating the face and body due to the complex simultaneous stimulating effect of the three active elements of the healing technique - breathing, sound and light vibrational movements. The principle of resonant complex simultaneous effects on the skin and muscles of the face and body is completely new and priority.

The method of light vibration exposure does not require special training and instruction in manual actions. Any musician is fluent in this technique in terms of fluency in playing an instrument and the technique of performing a “tremolo”. Tremolo (ital. Tremolo - trembling) is a technique of playing strings, keyboards, percussion and other musical instruments: multiple quick repetition of a single sound or quick alternation of 2 sounds (intervals, chords).

The task of rejuvenating the face and body is achieved by resonant acoustic massage, which includes massage by a specialist of the skin and muscles of a patient in a sitting position with a straight spine and an even fit of the head, by shifting the muscles of the face until they stretch up to the crown and back to the back of the head by stimulation with fingertips specialist points of the lower, middle and upper parts of the facial muscles, the back and upper parts of the head, neck lift by uniformly pressing the palms of the muscular skin of the anterior part of the w it and the prevention of the second chin by uniform light pressing with the palm of one hand from the bottom of the chin at the junction of the chin and neck, tightening of all areas of the face by uniform light pressing with the fingertips at a speed of 1 press per second, characterized in that each pressing in the stimulated areas the specialist performs with at a speed of 10-15 vibrational movements per second with the fingers and palms of the patient’s hands, simultaneously conducts a resonant acoustic massage lasting 15-20 minutes, including the patient’s voice setting for 2-3 minutes to ensure focusing sound surface clavicular respiratory type, occurrence of overtones in the area of flight from 7000 Hz, the sound vocalization "IJ" simultaneously with the patient on it from one frequency.

1. Voice setup. It takes 2-3 minutes. As a result of the adjustment, the muscles of the neck and chin are tightened, and the lips are enlarged. The patient sits in the usual position for the vocalist, closer to the edge of the chair, without touching his back, which makes the spine naturally straighten, slightly opens his lips invisibly to others and continues to breathe with the combined type of breathing with his nose and mouth, takes a deep, smooth breath towards a hard palate until you feel cold air and a quiet exhalation, on the next shorter breath, pushes the lower jaw forward, raises the chin and opens the mouth, gently closes the lips and exhales air through them so that they became filled and leaned forward, resembling the shape of a tube (blow on a candle). He takes another breath, first he sounds the vowel “I” soundlessly on the exhale, which with the help of the elongated shape of the lips becomes more collected, acquires focus and transforms into the vowel “IJ”, then softly (mp) sings this position in a primary (comfortable) tone, in which both vowels sound simultaneously. In this way, an articulatory position characteristic of professional vocalists is ensured, that is, with two sound supports where the air stream is directed: at the tip of the tongue and in the area of the hard palate. In this case, automatic connection of the frequencies of the flight zone from 7000 Hz is achieved. To control the air stream and sound stream with the help of a hand, their narrow and filigree concentration, to ensure a smooth and economical exhalation, a clear feeling of support at the tip of the tongue or the so-called microcavity, it is necessary to close the first and second fingers of your hand and draw an forward line while exhaling - down 12-15 cm long and up 12-15 cm long, forming a right angle. To more accurately focus the sound and control it with your hand, the silent and sound exercise should be repeated 3 times. If the effect is directly aimed at strengthening the muscles of the neck and lips, the specialist then proceeds to perform resonant acoustic massage, for which he enters into the main tone of the patient, sings with him the sound “I” - “UI” at its frequency for 10-15 minutes . The specialist grabs the patient’s hand on the patient’s fingers with his fingers and draws a straight line towards the patient’s lips without touching the lips, and simultaneously with the vocalization of the vowels “I” - “UJ” begins to perform high-speed vibrational movements (10-15 per second), with which the upper and lower lips, traces the contour of the lips and performs traditional classical massage techniques to relieve tension and tighten muscles with simulated pressing and patting at a distance of 2-3 cm from the patient’s skin.

Voice tuning allows you to relieve tension from the muscles of the lips, make them softer and puffier, reduce wrinkles above the lip, tighten the musculoskeletal tissue of the anterior and upper anterior parts of the neck, remove wrinkles and reduce the second chin. The extension of the lower jaw forward with the simultaneous raising of the head is a natural vocal position and allows you to strain the neck muscles under conditions of sound intonation when the antagonist muscles are included in the work, creating an additional load and increasing the intensity and efficiency of the workout, as a result of which wrinkles and skin are smoothed out turns pink, becomes more youthful and silky.

2. Acoustic and vibration massage. It takes 10-15 minutes. The patient sits in a natural position for the vocalist with a straight spine, an even fit of the head and a generally accepted articulation setting that provides a yawn and a slight internal and external smile, lifting the cheekbones, breathing superficial clavicular breathing. After 2-3 minutes of tuning the voice to a primary (convenient) tone, the specialist increases the tone of the patient’s voice by a third or a quarter to enhance vibrational sensations and increase the frequency amplitude in the flight zone, depending on its voice capabilities and intonation features, by means of a chromatic move in semitones . In the absence of hearing, a specialist helps to raise the tone using any musical instrument. Then the specialist draws a 12-15 cm long up and down line, forming a right angle, with the patient’s hand, from this point draws a line to the stimulated area and proceeds to perform resonant acoustic massage: he begins to vocalize the high-frequency sound with the patient "UJ" for 10-15 minutes, providing sound resonance, and at the same time with the fingertips or the palms of the patient’s hands makes light vibrational contact pressures at a speed of 10-15 movements per second in the stimulated area during 5-10 seconds, then the fingers move along the length of the wrinkle, continuing sound and vibration processing. This technique can be performed on any part of the patient’s body. Vibration pressures with a speed of 10-15 movements per second or 600-900 movements per minute significantly exceed the speed of the vibration manual massage in the known method, reaching 200-250 movements per minute, pp. No. 2086222, IPC A61H 7/00, A61H 23/06, A61K 7/48, 08/10/1997.

The technical result of this invention is the provision of a facelift, skin-muscle tissue located along the line of the lower edge of the lower jaw is pulled, excess volume is removed from the lower part of the face, skin sagging “rumbled” along the sides of the chin is removed, the line of the face oval looks distinctly clear, the upper lip and the weft of the mouth are lifted upward, providing strengthening and tightening of the muscles on the sides of the chin, excess volume and wrinkles at the corners of the mouth are removed, nasolabial folds are less pronounced, muscle tissue of the sides of the face of the face tighten, the back and tip of the nose are much narrower, the bags and wrinkles under the eyes decrease, the upper eyelid rises and the skin “hoods” above the eyes are removed, the muscle clamps are removed and the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the nose and forehead are smoothed out.

The achieved results are saved and can even be slightly improved provided that special vocal and respiratory exercises are performed independently to strengthen facial muscles. To maintain results, choral singing is recommended.

Vocalization of the sound of “UI” on a primary (comfortable) tone using the chest type of breathing helps to strengthen and develop the pectoral muscles, vocalization of the sound of “UI” below the primary (convenient) tone by a third or a quart using the lower silver-diaphragmatic or abdominal types - strengthening and lifting abdominal muscles, a paradoxical type of breathing - to strengthen the muscles of the back.

Thus, this method provides relief from muscle tension, wrinkle reduction, neck tissue tightening, long-term preservation of the achieved effects, the ability for the patient to independently perform at home, including, in addition to the face, on other parts of the body.

An example implementation of the method.

The patient is 38 years old. The skin is well-groomed. She regularly uses natural-based cosmetics and the latest hardware-based facial and body skin care systems. Diagnosis of the condition of the skin of the face was carried out on 2 devices: 1. Soft Plus for the diagnosis of facial skin and hair. 2. DUB ultrasound scanner for non-invasive skin examination. Results before and after resonant acoustic massage (see Figs. 1-9). One session completed. The duration of the session is 15 minutes. Voice tuning - 5 minutes, stimulation of wrinkles in the corner of the right eye - 5 minutes, wrinkles in the center of the forehead - 5 minutes. Visual change in the color of the skin of the face and neck, increased elasticity and visible tension of the skin, the appearance of shine on the surface of the skin in the area of the treated area.

Hardware studies using Soft Plus (Fig. 1) recorded an increase in facial skin hydration by an average of 65%, an increase in skin fat content by 26%, an increase in elasticity by 2%, an increase in pH by 13%, i.e. the skin became less acidic (with With age, there is an increase in the acidity of the skin surface and a decrease in pH), narrowing of pores of the maximum diameter by 24%, average diameter by 29% (enlarged pores are a sign of skin aging), a decrease in the length of wrinkles at the corner of the right eye by 6%, and width - by 67% , depths - by 300%.

The DUB diagnostic ultrasound scanner did not “see” the wrinkle in the corner of the right eye after the session. Automatic measurement of forehead wrinkles (Fig. 2) using a scanner showed a change in skin thickness over the entire area of the wrinkle. The thickness of the skin became more uniform, as the maximum thickness decreased by 19% and the minimum increased by 7%, the skin density factor increased by 43%, which is very important, since loss of density is a sign of aging.
