The glabellar wrinkle confidently leads the rating of the most unpleasant age-related defects. Cosmetologists claim that it can only be removed with the help of botulinum toxin. But I know, friends, another high-quality and safe method, and I am ready to share how I deal with this defect myself. Today I will give competent three-step plans with me. We will master effective techniques. Ready? Then let's begin. [applause] What is a glabellar wrinkle? It's simple. It is an indentation of the skin in the globellar zone, or simply between the eyebrows, most often vertical. We don't like this wrinkle because it's unsightly. The glabellar wrinkle gives the face an arrogant or frowning look. Even if you are fine inside, others think you are tense or tired. There are several types of glabellar defects, and you need to learn to distinguish them in order to effectively combat them in the future. To do this, take a mirror and bring your eyebrows together towards the center. Did a wrinkle form? Great. That's how it should be if you are a living person. Don't believe it if cosmetologists tell you otherwise. Now completely smooth out, relax the glabellar area, spread the tissues with your hand. Assess the result in the mirror. The wrinkle disappeared, the skin became smooth. That's also great. This means you had a functional or dynamic wrinkle. It appears only when the muscles are working and disappears when they are completely relaxed. Such a functional wrinkle does not need to be corrected. But if the indentation remains, and the skin does not smooth out, then you have a static glabellar wrinkle. It is visible even at rest. This is where there is a problem, and you need to work with it. It is also very important to assess the depth of the wrinkle. It can be thin, like a thread in the dermis, or moderately deep, already felt as a pronounced indentation, or a deep crease, the bottom of which can reach the muscle layer. It also happens that in addition to wrinkles, you feel a dense roller above your eyebrows. And it also happens that a thick fold of tissue accumulates between the eyebrows. This means that, most likely, swelling has also joined this problem. And this can and should definitely be corrected. I hope this is clear. Now let's talk about the causes of your glabellar wrinkle. To be honest, well, it's all ridiculously simple. You can even say banal. The main and only culprit is your trashy facial expressions. These meaningless, unconscious movements that we make day after day, squinting, frowning, furrowing our brows. We do all this when we read, concentrate, worry, get anxious, argue, but sometimes just for background. Tell me, is there any logic in these movements? You must agree, there is zero logic, but the habit is imprinted right between the eyebrows. As a result, our small corrugator muscles constantly contract, work, and there is no rest, only constant exploitation. And here they are, our corrugators, they get fixed in a spasm, and a crease is fixed in the skin, like a persistent fold in paper. In essence, it is a trauma created by our habits. And now, having learned all this, we have every moral right to create a clear, competent, and, most importantly, effective plan for working with the glabellar area. Simple three steps, but how precise. We reduce muscle tension. One. We apply tapes. We let the skin smooth out. Two. And we unlearn excessive trashy facial expressions. Three. If you remove even one of these steps, if you are lazy, nothing will work. Let's take botulinum toxin, for example. Yes, it's fast, I don't argue. Yes, and the skin doesn't crease, great. But the muscle is not relaxed, but paralyzed. And you still haven't learned to control your facial expressions. The old motor stereotype remains with you. Time will pass, and you'll be back for another injection. Or fillers. Yes, they fill wrinkles, but they don't affect the main targets of the problem at all. The muscles are still tense, the facial habits remain. Well, why, guys, you understand what I'm talking about now. I'm talking about solving the problem, not about masking it quickly. I'm talking about honesty with yourself, not about smearing the glabellar area and forgetting about it. If this approach resonates with you, let me know, give it a like. Well, enough of the lyrical part, let's get down to business. The first step of our plan is myofascial massage and the simply stunning "spinning top" technique. It works with both glabellar wrinkles and puffiness. Place your fingers on the bridge of your nose and make sure you are not tensing your neck. Lower your chin slightly. Start with slow rotational movements. Move your hand up, to the left as far as possible, down as far as possible, and to the right. Once more. Up, left, as far down as possible, as far right as possible. Pay attention, my movements are wide, amplitudinous, I am not in a hurry. Now imagine that you are gradually spinning a top with a firm and bold hand. The tighter the tissues, the more hand effort will be needed. The neck is still not tense, the chin is looking down. And now gradually increase the speed of work, as if you are spinning a top or a gyroscope. Feel how the rotational inertia increases and the circular movements merge into a pleasant, unified, beautiful, whole. This is how we work for 30 seconds. You can work for up to 1 minute. We need rapid rotational energy. Add speed. That's it. Do you feel how the working area under your fingers is freeing up, the feeling of compression is gone? At the same time, do not press on the bridge of your nose, do not crumple the tissues. Very good. Feel the bridge of your nose. If you feel that the tissues are numb, this is absolutely normal. A sign of proper muscle relaxation. Friends, if you perform this technique correctly, magic happens in the mirror, the effect of drooping eyebrows and eyelids disappears, the bridge of the nose smooths out, becomes even, as if the heaviness in the forehead is gone. The face looks as if after a vacation, without a hint of frowning. I know how hard it can be to look in the mirror and see a lot of problems, not just this glabellar wrinkle. Sometimes there's a whole complex of puffiness, folds, sagging, jowls. And I see how you cling to these temporary solutions like Botox. But I believe we deserve better. Not to mask, but to transform, to restore. Do you understand? And I want each of you to feel: "Yes, I can do it myself. Here are my hands, this is my strength, and my face is in my hands." And it is precisely at the master class that we will use these hands to bring complete order, stable beauty that will not run away from you. Everything will be simple, understandable, and most importantly, it will work. Online format. Join from anywhere in the world. Participation is free under this video. I am leaving the link in the description. I really want you to feel the result yourself. Step two. Taping. What's pleasant? It's a lazy way to rejuvenate. The most effective advice against glabellar wrinkles is to apply tapes during nighttime sleep. But not haphazardly, friends, but according to science. In Revitonica, there is a special scheme called a checkmark. You will need two strips of tape. The width is about a third of a regular tape. The length is about 5 cm. First, you should try the placement on your face in front of the mirror, fix the anchor on the bridge of your nose, and then apply the strip slightly above the eyebrow line. Important: we do not stretch the tape. After applying, gently warm the tape with your hands. Apply the second strip in the same way. Crossing the edges at different angles is allowed. Well, we are all different, and the tapes will behave differently on the bridge of the nose. The important thing is that the tape fixes the skin in a relaxed position and slightly lifts it above the underlying tissues, creating a low-pressure zone. What does this give us? Blood microcirculation, improved nutrition, hydration. And in such conditions, the wrinkle gradually heals from within, becoming less and less noticeable. I am sure you will succeed. If you have any questions about this taping technique, write in the comments. By the way, this technique even works with deep creases, so feel free to add it to your collection. And what's especially pleasant, you apply the tape, go to sleep, wake up in the morning, wow, the bridge of your nose is smooth, like a baby's. But there's one trick, dear friends. How quickly will you decide to go back to your main habit of furrowing your brows? Without this, no magic will last long. Therefore, we move on to the third and, perhaps, the most important step of the plan. As we have already understood, we furrow the bridge of our nose just like that, without noticing it. And to retrain it, we need science, namely, facial biofeedback. My main professional specialization. How does it work? You apply hot ice or a cooling gel to the area between your eyebrows. Unusual temperature information enters the sensory cortex of the brain, and this helps to feel the bridge of your nose and keep it relaxed for as long as possible. You can also apply a small piece of tape, for example, half of this size, for 30-60 minutes. This is not a taping technique, but when you walk around like this at home, it also serves as an additional signal from the proprioceptors of the skin and muscles, so that, well, the brain conditionally starts to notice and control the bridge of the nose area. And step by step, a new facial habit is gradually formed. By the way, during the day, from time to time, you can stroke the bridge of your nose, smooth it and your forehead too, so as not to forget. For this, you can set a timer, for example, every 15 minutes. You hear the signal and check if your forehead and bridge of the nose are relaxed or not. And notice, we are not injuring or paralyzing anything here. We are gently and with love, without injections and violence against nature, moving towards a fresh, young, and beautiful face. I remind you, I will show even more such techniques for all areas of the face at my master class. We will work on nasolabial folds, jowls, other areas, and I will explain how to address them in a unified front so that you no longer chase each defect alone. Anyone can join. No entry ticket is needed, just come online. And we will see each other soon. See you next time. [applause]
