Facelift Massage is a gentle non-invasive approach to looking younger. It works primarily by freeing constrictions both within the facial muscles and in the connective tissue. This technique is completely natural and safe - not even oils or lotions are used! Tension can build up within our facial muscles from the pressures of everyday life without us realizing it. It can be easy for certain thoughts and emotions to become habitual, locking themselves into expressions on our faces - sometimes over a duration of a whole lifetime. Under such conditions muscles can actually “dry up” and contract, inhibiting freedom of expression. This can encourage ageing and the formation of wrinkles as the face loses its muscle tone and elasticity and begins to sag.
Through gentle massage of the face, we can help to delay the ageing process. This is achieved by using a variety of massage and muscle energy techniques, thereby giving the facial muscles a lift and a new lease of life.
This is a precise healthcare modality, working the face systematically helping by releasing deep-seated tensions, freeing layers of muscle and connective tissue so that there is space for the muscles to relax, encouraging an opening so that micro circulation and elimination can begin again and the tissues can glide smoothly over the deeper layers of muscle and bone. Although it is difficult to stave off the ageing process, we can do much to extend the appearance of youth and beauty by using simple, natural and effective massage techniques to take care of the assets we possess.
A scientific, before and after test done using the Visia Complexion Analysis Method showed that following one facelift massage session, the client’s wrinkles decreased by 41%, number of pores decreased by 24%, skin evenness improved by 23% and UV significantly diminished! Even one face lift massage will inject a dose of health and relaxation into your life. Noticable results start in 1 to 3 sessions. Approx 1 1/2 hour.
