Face Massage Side Effects: Nowadays people get face massage done in parlors to keep their skin glowing and young. This trend is increasing rapidly on social media. But experts say that excessive face massage can be harmful for you. Especially it affects the eyes. Recently an eye doctor has warned that some types of face massage can prove dangerous for the eyes. Especially when the high-frequency massage gun is used very close to the eyes during massage. According to doctors, this can cause serious damage to the eyes and in some cases can even lead to cataract.

bad effect on eyes

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of the body. Repeated massage puts pressure on this area. This can cause the skin to become loose. Also, the problem of swelling and dark circles under the eyes may increase. If massage is done for too long or in the wrong way, it can cause irritation around the eyes. Many times the cream or oil used during massage also gets into the eyes. This may cause allergy or irritation.

A shocking case came to the doctor

Eye doctor Mayank Mahajan shared the case of such a patient through a video on social media which surprised even the doctors. This was a young man who had suddenly developed a cataract in his right eye. When the doctor asked about his daily habits, it was revealed that he used to go for face massage 2 to 3 times a week. The salon where he went used high-frequency massage guns and electric massagers. The most surprising thing was that during the massage, the machine was also applied directly over his eyes.
