SPA and modern cosmetology
The word spa is known to Europeans for a long time, and it from their point of view simply a place where carry out treatment by curative waters (resort). However for Americans, Russians and Ukrainians, SPA is a place where, except for various "water" procedures (a bath with salts, thermal waters, aromatic oils, extracts of plants, saunas, steam rooms, wrapping up with seaweed and salts, etc.), it it is possible to receive various kinds of massage a full complex of services on care of the person and a body (massage, pilling, removal of hair, etc.). In many spa offer cosmetic surgery in " a warm, weakening atmosphere " - elimination of various defects of a skin (wrinkles, the pigmentary spots, the expanded veins, etc.) . Extremely actively in SPA-therapy the aromatherapy is applied. To clients offer massage with the hot towel impregnated with radio oils, wrapping up and other services with application of radio oils. In many spa traditional water procedures of different peoples are widely used. As a rule, spa-interiors offer also consultations on a healthy feed, food supplements , classes of yoga and meditation and many other things.
What is SPA? The whim of rich and idle people, a way to shake out from the client is more than money, fashionable current which will soon be replaced by new hobby? There are all bases to believe, that such wide circulation of "water" procedures in cosmetology is the answer of the cosmetic industry to modern discoveries in the field of interaction of nervous system with other systems and bodies, and in particular with a skin.
Last years a science all will more deeply penetrate into secrets of complex mutual relations of nervous system and a skin. Now participation of psychological factors in development of skin diseases in anybody from scientists any more does not cause doubts. Moreover, similarly, that the skin is connected to nervous system much more closely, than believed earlier. It is more and more than proofs, that nerves of a skin adjust set of the most different events in a life of a skin, including division and maturing of cells, immune reactions, an inflammation, healing of damages.
Besides a skin can influence and hormones, which quantity raises at stress.
For example, the data recently have been received, according to which hormones of stress can stimulate activity of sebaceous glands so to participate in patogenesis all diseases connected to increase of secretion of skin bacon. Besides hormones of stress strengthen pigmentation, influence thickness of a skin, strengthen an inflammation, stimulate or oppress immune reactions. Having reduced reactance of an organism, and also, enabled it to relax, having created at him illusion of safety, it is possible to reduce negative action of stress essentially. This purpose is served also with weakening action of an atmosphere of spa-interior and procedures spent for it, together with calming action of water, aromatic oils, heat, massage.
One more moment which can explain popularity spa - more and more deep comprehension, both scientists, and the public, importance of a condition of a skin for all organism. The skin, alongside with kidneys and to cookies, is great detoxining an organism. Through a skin with then and skin bacon toxins and products of a metabolism are deduced. Not without reason many alternative methods of treatment include stimulation sweat branch. Insufficiently active deducing metabolit through a skin can lead to to growth "slagging" an organism and to deterioration of a state of health.
In cosmetology for detoxining skin are applied various kinds wrapping up, saunas, steam baths, oil massage and a number of other influences.
As a rule, at wrapping up on a skin render any cosmetic means (for example, a mix of radio oils in basic oil, a medical dirty, gel of an aloe, etc.), then turn a body the damp heated up fabric, and atop of it - a dry fabric). At wrapping up occurs intensive потоотделение and clearing of a skin of toxins. At rise in temperature and hydration of a horn layer permeability of a skin grows, that enables to penetrate into it to biological-active substances.
Cold wrapping up are applied at expansion of veins, at pains in legs. In saunas, hot bathing, steam rooms occurs intensive sweat branch, that promotes deducing of toxins from a skin.
That fact is important also, that the skin actively participates in breath. One it is the basis to support its pure and healthy. Besides the skin is penetrated with the nervous terminations which stimulation can influence a condition of internal bodies.
As we see, procedures in modern spa-interior represent a cross between cosmetology and physiotherapy, and though a target of all procedures still is the skin, they inevitably affect all organism.
