Do Facial Massages Cause Wrinkles and Sagging and Collagen Loss?

I had a facial done this weekend and the person doing the facial massage on me was very rough pulling and tugging on my face for about 45 minutes. I am now concerned it caused some permanent damage in terms of wrinkles, sagging, collagen loss, loss of firmness and fat from the face, torn fibers, etc, etc. Basically she used my face as a Playdough. Is it possible to have some sort of damage even after just one 45 minute incident? Please give me your honest opinion and not sugar coat it. Thnx.

Do facial massages cause damage

No, facial massages don't cause damage, but it sounds like you should not return simply because it just sounds painful! Light touches should be applied to the skin. It's not meant to be tugged on. 45 min of an aggressive massage didn't do anything permanent, but OUCH!
