Flow on, Glow On: 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.

HYDROSTATIC AND OSMOTIC PRESSURE

To understand how compression therapy works, we first need to understand the concept of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. Hydrostatic and oncotic pressure are what drive fluids in and out of blood vessels. Hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure that drives fluid out of the blood in the capillary bed. Meanwhile, oncotic pressure counteracts this by pulling fluids back into the capillary.

The arteriole end of the capillary contains incoming nutrient rich blood, ready to feed the surrounding cells and tissue. At this end of the capillary, pressure is higher, allowing nutrients to leave the vessel. While at the venous end, colloid osmotic pressure is higher. This is so blood is returned back into the vessel, allowing it to travel back to the heart to start it's replenishment process.

HOW COMPRESSION THERAPY WORKS

Compression therapy works to optimise the functions of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. By exerting pressure on the skin and tissue, compression therapy improves the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid. The pressure that is applied helps to compress the blood vessels, which in turn encourages blood flow, and then increases the lymphatic vessels to expand and contract. Because our lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump, it relies on increased blood flow to change the pressure within the dermal matrix.

There are various types and techniques of compression therapy, including pneumatic compression, gradient compression, and static compression. Compression can be achieved through massage, or with the use of special compression garments or devices.

COMPRESSION THERAPY FOR SKIN HEALTH

With an increasing awareness of the benefits of compression therapy, this unique treatment is becoming more popular than ever before. These techniques help stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, which helps the skin heal and regenerate optimally.

Facial compression therapy is a non-invasive and effective way to enhance blood flow and lymphatic flow, leading to improved skin health.

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.

First and foremost, you should know that this is a deep exfoliation treatment. You can compare it to microdermabrasion in the sense that the goal of this treatment is to remove the top-most layer of skin cells from the face to reveal a new layer of skin. But unlike traditional exfoliation techniques, this treatment plainly addresses the problem of dull skin cells by using a scalpel to scrape off that top layer.
That’s right – a surgical scalpel is the main tool that is used for this treatment. But don’t worry, this treatment is strictly non-invasive and completely painless. This treatment produces a renewed and glowing complexion without fail every time without any need for harsh chemicals or scrubs. For deep exfoliating, there is no better or easier treatment available anywhere.

Benefits of Dermaplaning
This is the simplest, quickest, and least invasive treatment you can get at any med spa anywhere. The fact that this treatment is painless and totally non-invasive is one of the biggest draws for many patients and one of the most attractive benefits of the treatment, as well.

Other benefits of this treatment include:
* Renewed complexion
* Deeper product penetration for serums and creams
* Smoother, more evenly toned skin
* Removal of dead, pore-clogging skin
* Removal of peach fuzz
* Smoother make-up application
* Reduced acne scarring
* Minimized fine lines

There are a few benefits of this treatment that were somewhat unexpected, right? While this treatment will mainly remove dead skin cells to promote a renewed, glowing, smooth, and more evenly toned complexion, it will also minimize the appearance of fine lines, especially lines around the mouth and on the forehead.

This treatment is sometimes offered as a first step for anti-aging treatments for this reason. Nothing indicates aging skin quite so well as a dull complexion and fine lines – this treatment addresses both.

LED Light Therapy is a skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light, including red and blue, to help regenerate the skin from ageing. It’s also used for acne and acne scarring!
