Six reasons to use Kinesiotape on the face
My friend Olga often can't help but express surprise when she sees my face covered with kinesiotape. If you're as curious and intrigued by the sight of tape on the face as she is, let me take a moment to explain what kinesiotape is and why it's such an effective beauty tool. Below, I’ll share more details about how this technique works, its benefits, and why it's gaining popularity in the world of aesthetics. Whether you're new to kinesiotape or just curious, I hope this gives you a better understanding of its powerful effects.
Here are six reasons to use kinesiotape:
The tape is effective.
The tape is safe.
The tape is painless.
The tape preserves and enhances the effect of a massage.
The tape saves you time.
The tape is affordable.
The term "kinesiotape" combines two words from different languages: "kinesio" from Latin, meaning "movement," and "tape" from English. This technique has stood the test of time since its inception by chiropractor Kenzo Kase 51 years ago, in 1973. He discovered that such a tape could significantly extend the effects of a massage.
By the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Kenzo Kase had perfected his invention, and the world witnessed how tapes helped athletes maintain muscle tone, alleviate pain, and prevent injuries. High performance and lower injury rates have since become the best evidence of kinesiotape's effectiveness. Since then, the methodology has rapidly developed. Today, taping is utilized in fields such as neurology, osteopathy, speech therapy, pediatrics, dentistry, and aesthetics!
Tapes address three main aesthetic concerns:
• Wrinkles
• Swelling
• Ptosis
Aesthetic face taping can:
• Smooth facial wrinkles around the eyes, lips, forehead, and between the eyebrows.
• Reduce a double chin.
• Straighten nasolabial folds.
• Eliminate puffiness under the eyes.
• Remove neck wrinkles.
• Lift the upper eyelid.
With consistent and correct application, there is always a positive outcome! I hope you found this introduction to kinesiotaping insightful.
