What should clients be aware of regarding deep massage?

Clients should be aware that deep massage can be too rough for facial skin. The skin on the face is generally more delicate and sensitive compared to the skin on the rest of the body. Deep massage techniques often involve applying significant pressure, which might lead to irritation, redness, or discomfort when used on facial areas. It’s crucial for practitioners to assess the client's skin type, condition, and individual tolerance to pressure, especially in sensitive areas like the face.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect considerations specific to deep massage and its application on facial skin. For instance, while deep massage can promote healthy elasticity, this benefit typically pertains more to bodywork and does not necessarily apply in the same way to the facial context. Moreover, the idea that deep massage cannot be performed by an esthetician is misleading, as estheticians are trained in various massage techniques appropriate for different areas, including facial massage. Lastly, deep massage is not deemed necessary for facial processes, as many facials can be effectively performed using lighter techniques that enhance relaxation and nourish the skin without the risks associated with deeper pressure.
