What is the purpose of tapotement in esthetics?

Tapotement is a rhythmic and percussive technique used in esthetics that primarily aims to increase blood circulation and stimulate the nerves. This technique involves tapping, slapping, or striking the skin in a specific manner, which can promote lymphatic drainage and enhance the overall circulation within the treated area. By doing so, tapotement can help invigorate the skin, making it appear more vibrant, as increased blood flow delivers essential nutrients.

The stimulation of nerves through this technique can create a sense of alertness and relaxation simultaneously. This contrasting effect can be beneficial for clients who may experience tension or fatigue, making tapotement an effective method for revitalizing the skin and enhancing the overall treatment experience.
