MODULE 2
NASOLABIAL FOLDS
(45 mins)
1. ANATOMY (10 mins)

1. Myth: wrinkles and folds appear due to loss of collagen and skin ageing

2. Myth: there is no difference between facial and body muscles (0:45)

3. By shortening facial muscle begins to pull skin (1:15)

4. 5 muscles that create nose to mouth lines (1:50)

5. What is lymph? (2:30)

7. Why are creams UNABLE to help? (4:20)

8. Why are 95% of treatments (injections, machines) UNABLE to help? (5:10)

9. How to get excess liquids out of the face? (6:00)

10. Morning puffiness - normal or not? What to do? (6:50)

11. Basic drainage move. When and how should it be done? (7:25)

2. ANALYSIS (10 mins)

1. Basic moves

2. Creative moves (1:55)

3. Which elements make any move LOOK more complex? (various hand/finger positions; using both hands; changing the trajectory, speed; adding vibrations, etc.) (3:30)

4. Face building ("kisses", puff cheeks, mouth opening) (5:45)

Nasolabial folds. Drainage (0:40)
(performed every day)
To prevent and maintain: 20 times.
To reduce: 2 minutes.

1. Put your middle or index finger right under the fold and scoop all the excess liquids out to the ear. Finger moves from diagonal to vertical position. Repeat 20 times. You could use both hands at the same time, too: just open up your palms, move them straight to the ear and then help the liquids flow down by the sides of your neck, repeat 20 times.
2. If you have gua sha, you could do the same: put its hollow part just under the fold, scoop all the excess liquids and move them straight to the ear. Repeat 20 times.

***

Massage using:
* cream (if it soaks in too quickly, apply on a wet skin);
* oil (wash it off after the massage as in the long run it might make your skin dry);
* aloe vera or any other gel;
* mask (cream mask / night mask / gel mask).

At least once try to massage just one side of your face (for 2-5 minutes), then compare the sides.
Most likely you will see a noticeable difference, which should motivate and convince that you really are able to help your face.

Experiment / homework for those who already have nasolabial folds:
* take a "Before" picture (dont smile, avoid shadows);
* make sure to drain your folds for 2-5 minutes every day (for example, while watching movie or reading book);
* in 30 days take another picture.

Even if there is no huge difference, continue to perform at least a 20 seconds massage every day
or liquids will continue to accumulate and make your folds heavier and saggier.
Massage of the wrinkle / crease itself
WRINKLE MASSAGE (1:18)

1. 1. Grab the line between two fingers and massage / rub it for at least 20 seconds. You could also divide it into 3 parts.

2. To massage it from the inside, just place one finger behind the lip and massage each point (~5) for 20 seconds each.

3. If you are using a vacuum cup, put it right on top of the line and move it up and down, 10-20 times. To make it more comfortable, just open your mouth slightly.

You could use a suction, too: just suck the tissues in for 2-3 seconds and release (2-3 times on each of 3 points).

WRINKLE. ANALYSIS (3 мин)
"Smile line"
SMILE LINE (0:44)

1. Grab the "smile line" between your fingers and rub, massage it for 2 minutes or at least 20 seconds.
2. Another option - place one finger inside your mouth, keep the other one from the outside, grab the crease between the fingers and massage it for 20 seconds.
3. In case you wish to use a vacuum cup, move it up and down 10-20 times. Just make sure that the cup is exactly on top of the wrinkle. To make it a bit more comfortable, you can open your mouth slightly.
MORE
VACUUM CUPS (1:15)

We are going to work in 2 lines.

1. First line starts at the wrinkle itself and moves to the ear. 10-20 times. 2nd line starts a bit higher, close to the wing of the nose and moves to the ear, too. 10-20 times.

2. You could also use a big vacuum cup. In this case, you only have 1 line to work with: start at the nose to mouth line and move it to the ear, 10-20 times (this line sculpts the cheekbone area). However, you could also move it to the area under your ear.

CHEEKBONES. ANALYSIS (1:49)
NOSE
NOSE MASSAGE (0:39)

1. Grab the first muscle on the side of your nose and rub it between two fingers for 20 seconds (to prevent fingers from slipping off, just grab the tissue).

2. Second muscle is right by side of the nose. Grab it and massage for another 20 seconds.

NOSE. ANALYSIS (2:16)
MUSCLE MASSAGE
MUSCLE MASSAGE (3 mins)

1. First part: place your fingers as close to the nose as possible and just under the lower eyelid, grab all the tissues and start massaging, rubbing them between two fingers for 20 seconds. If your fingers slip off, don't worry, just grab the muscles again or use a tissue.

2. Repeat the same to the other 3 parts.

3. At the end you could grab the line itself and massage it for another 20 seconds.


If there are any painful points, feel free to massage them for longer, for about 2 minutesbor until the pain is gone.


Once you get used to the massage, feel free to ignore the rules and just massage this whole area randomly for about 2 minutes (trying to get rid of all the painful bits).

MUSCLE MASSAGE FROM THE INSIDE (3 mins)

Lets divide the whole nose to mouth line area into 3 parts.

Place the thumb behind the cheek. Then place fingers of another hand on the outside for a support (so that thumb can really dig deep into the muscles).


1. Massage each of these 3 parts in circular movements for 20 seconds each.

2. Stretch each of them for another 20 seconds by bending the thumb forward, sticking it out of the cheek. To prevent the folds / creases, just use another hand to smooth it all out.

Alternatively, you could stretch by grubbing the very top of each part between your thumb and index finger and then pulling it all down (the 1st part should be stretched down, the 2nd part down and a bit to the center of the face, the 3rd part diagonally down, in the direction of mouth).

3. You could finish it all by massaging the wrinkle itself: just grab it with thumb from the inside and index finger from the outside and then massage each of ~5 points for 20 seconds.
