The massage movements used with devices should focus on:

• A. Friction
• B. Vibration
• C. Tapotement
• D. Effleurage

Answer: (D)

Effleurage uses long, smooth, gliding strokes that follow the face’s contour. When you work with devices, these gentle, continuous movements warm the skin, boost circulation and lymphatic flow, and help distribute any serums or creams evenly. This approach minimizes friction and irritation while still letting the device do its job, which is especially important on delicate facial skin. Friction, tapping (percussive) motions, or abrupt vibrations can be too harsh or uncomfortable for devices on the face, so the focus remains on soothing, unbroken strokes that prepare the skin and maximize the device’s effectiveness.
