@DarkMoon, yes, that helps... It's good to know that they roll easily. Would you do me a huge favor and try my theory out?
I would so love to know (1) if the roller glides over the tea towel or if it works just fine on a bare face and (2) if you feel sufficient pressure on your face to cause some remodeling.
You would be my hero!! |

Lumoinosity,
Yes it rolls fine on a bare face or a smooth tea towel, mine are all cotton and not nubby?
You can push as soft or hard as you wish, actually enough pressure is a tad painful if you push too hard, yet it still rolls! |
Oh, awesome! Thank you! So, now that you've used it, do you think there is potential here for bone strengthening? I know there are many who have doubts that face remodeling is even possible (from what I've read online here and there). It is intriguing for sure... and of course, my hope is that it truly does work. |
I don't do facial exercise but since I use OCM as my cleansing method I do massage all the time.
I would say this if you can remodel the bone as many say you can, with your hands I can't see any reason this would not do exactly the same.
It is my limited understanding that pressure on the bones is what strengthens them as well as shapes them. |
Yes, this is my thought as well... That it's the pressure that's the key. I truly appreciate your thoughts on this... |

This argument has no logic as far as I'm concerned. You mean that the body responds differently to being massaged with a tool rather than the hands because it's a "foreign object"? Well I use both the Vaculifter and the Lyapko Roller and I don't believe for one moment that my body goes into "defense" mode over either of them. When will people stop dreaming up useless stuff to worry about? What about dry brushing - isn't that supposed to be a holistic approach - nobody seems to worry about the body rejecting that. |

Lyapko is considered a holistic device, and has multitude of benefits besides cosmetic ones - so definitely a good tool to use.
Vaculifter is a different animal, it's main purpose is to provide lymphatic drainage, improve blood supply and stimulate connective tissues - one of the most effective tools in skincare (as is professional equipment based on the same principals). There was a lot of research done by a Russian expert in skin aging and she had the most fantastic results (with profess, equip.) but she recommends using similar type vacuum cups (she studied it for 15-20 years).
A good analogy would be acupressure - some points are better stimulated with hands and for some the practitioner might use a special finger "cup".
While hands are good as a tool, to use them effectively may require strength that a person may not have, or an awkward position.
So all of these methods are good, but have slight variation, so imho a person should choose what is best for himself.
Just my 2 cents. |
