The Effects of Stress on the Face

Facial massage will reach and strengthen the underlying muscular tissue. Wrinkles are caused not by trouble with the skin alone, but also by general weakening of the underlying muscular tissue. These muscles of expression respond to massage and will release the stress that is held in the tissue by proper facial manipulation.
In the facial area the facial muscles are attached to the skin. Repeated facial expressions where the muscle contracts and releases will wear out the elasticity as the skin ages. It is similiar to an accordian that is open and closed alot, the material will break down. The same is true with the skin. The collagen and elastin fibers will break down as the facial muscles are used over and over with repeated expressions. The corrective skin treatments will release the stress in the muscle and strengthen the fibers of the skin.
