🧶✨ FASCIA & WRINKLES ✨🧶 Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. Each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater. 🧶 Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions. If this fascia is restricted, it will hold deeper facial wrinkles in place until released. Fascia constricts in many different directions and can be restricted by: 🧶 Repetitive facial movements 🧶 Surgery 🧶 Scars 🧶 Injections 🧶 Implants 🧶 Fillers And other facial procedures... This blocks optimum lymph flow (waste removal/detoxification) and blood circulation in the skin. Also, just like in the body, our face can get knots & micro muscle spasm from overworked muscles (like your shoulders and neck from looking down at the phone or tablet, for example) the same occurs in the face. The correct facial massage, whether through Facial Gua Sha, Cupping or hands helps to release fascia, deep seated tension in the face, relax facial muscles, increase blood flow, and lymphatic drainage from the face. Resulting in a more sculpted, smooth, rejuvenated appearance. ✨ #wildlilyorganics Beautiful Illustration by: @karli_onyxspa
