When working with the SMAS, the intention is not to pull or aggressively stretch the tissue. This layer responds best to precise, controlled movements that respect its natural elasticity. Thoughtful rolling and guided pressure help create space and improve glide between layers without compromising structural integrity. Once the SMAS is overstretched, restoring its original support can be very difficult due to its interconnected, fibrous nature. This is why facial work should never feel forced. Respectful, well informed technique supports longevity, tissue health, and more sustainable results ❣️ This segment is taken from a private, in-person training with two very talented professionals from New Jersey facialsandwaxingbyjoice Joice - Montclair, New Jersey. essential.esthetica Evelyn-Bordentown City New Jersey #facialmassage #SMAS #aestheticeducation #manualfacelift #facialanatomy
