THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SERVICES
Services within the field of cosmetology that aim to produce beneficial physiological effects on the body include skincare through facials, nailcare, and pedicuring. These services are limited to the upper body and extremities, such as the face, scalp, neck, shoulders, back, upper chest, arms and hands, and lower legs and feet. Although each service has its own benefits and physiological effects, the main objectives are to treat the skin, stimulate tissues and organ function, and relax the client (Milady, 2023). For safe and effective facial treatments, nail care, and pedicuring, cosmetologists must understand the subdermal systems: muscles, nerves, arteries, and veins. The voluntary muscles of the face, head, and neck are the muscles of concern in facial services. The location of the muscles within these areas and what they control are significant to the application of quality facial massage manipulations (Figures 1-4).
