The benefits of Facial Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is an age-old medical practice that has been used for centuries to help patients with various conditions. Its application is simple - by exerting pressure onto the skin, blood and other fluids can be effectively circulated throughout the body.
1. INCREASED NUTRIENT DELIVERY
Facial compression therapy works by using graduated pressure to compress the surface veins, arteries, and muscles. This process forces the circulating blood through narrower channels and enhances blood flow, resulting in increased nutrient delivery. Increased blood flow and nutrient delivery mean that the dermis can better supply nutrients such as oxygen to the skin and tissue, promoting optimal cell birth, faster healing, and a reduction in inflammation.
2. ENHANCED LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Proper detoxification of the dermis is key for optimal delivery, absorption, and conversion of nutrients. It's what sets apart a healthy cell from a suboptimal one. Facial compression therapy is a fantastic way to boost lymphatic drainage, resulting in a clean and clear environment for your skin.
3. STRENGTHENING OF CAPILLARIES
Studies have shown that regular movement from increased blood flow promotes angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) and improves endothelial function.
As you age, your capillary walls weaken, making you more susceptible to issues related to poor blood flow.
And further, the endothelial lining of your blood vessels plays an essential role in maintaining their health and function. A healthy endothelial lining helps your capillaries resist damage from things like inflammation and oxidative stress.
4. ACCELERATED HEALING
Compression therapy is often used to treat wounds and inflammation effectively. This is because it can help increase blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, and also helps stimulate the flow of lymph fluid back to the lymph nodes, where harmful substances are filtered out and destroyed. Once the excess fluids are removed from the tissues, inflammation decreases, as less fluid pressure means less pain and swelling, and the healing process is accelerated. This makes facial compression therapy perfect for skin conditions such as acne and slow healers.
Also, don’t forget that skin cells aren’t the only things that are made and nurtured in the dermis. The dermis is a fibrous structure that includes collagen, elastin, oil glands, hair follicles, and many other things we want to keep promote optimal maintenance and regeneration.
Flow with PRIN:
Specifically designed to tighten and create a downward pressure on the skin.
The pressure exerted from the PRIN FLOW mask changes the osmotic pressure in the dermis, facilitating an exchange of nutrients and fluids between the dermis and subcutaneous layer.
By exerting pressure on the skin and tissue, compression therapy helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation and swelling, promote faster healing in wounds making it great for acne, and optimising cell regeneration for your healthiest skin.
What is the difference between the PRIN Professional Lymphatic Therapy Facial and the PRIN Flow Facial Mask Kit?
Both are compression masks – so they functionally act the same. There are however key differences between the Flow Mask and the Lymphatic Therapy.
1. Intensity. 6/10 versus 10/10 compression
2. Potency. The professional version contains more powerful actives and at more potent amounts compared to the home kits
3. Application Area. The PRIN Flow Facial Mask Kit, also contains approximately 5 treatments when applied from the collar bone up - this does not capture the décolletage which incorporates some of the major clusters of lymph nodes.
For those that wish to use the professional coverage area (including décolletage) from their Flow Mask should only expect to make 2 - 3 masks from the kit.
