What is Face sculpting massage?

Holistic in-demand beauty treatment that uses Face Sculpting & Modeling techniques, Buccal (intra-oral) Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques to address age-related visual concerns by toning, strengthening and relaxing the main facial muscles Is one of my main specialties and I can’t wait for you to come and try it.

The success of this highly specialized treatment lies in the deep understanding of how the facial muscles work, and applying this fundamental knowledge to practice.

Buccal massage

Buccal massage which is part of Face Sculpting Massage, also known as intra oral technique maximizes the relaxation of the most stressful muscle which is our masseter. It significantly reduces pain associated with TMJ, gives you a sharper definition of jawline and overall improves the top and lower part of your face.
I also include neck, decollete, shoulders and scalp massage in this service. I have created my unique massage by combining a series of techniques which have an effect on your skin as a natural facelift.

InBETWEEN the sessions (@home routine)

GuaSha & Kinesio taping

What is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha comes from the words gua, meaning to scratch or rub, and sha, meaning disease or a red spot on the skin. Gua sha is a healing method from traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments, aches and points. In gua sha, the skin is scraped with a spoon, comb, or knife-shaped tool made of natural stone. The treatment stimulates blood circulation in the treated area and raises red spits on the surface of the skin, that is, the “shas”.

Although the marks may be off-putting, gua sha is not painful and the treatment does not require more force. The marks disappear from the skin after a few days. The shas rise easily to the surface of the skin, appearing with just a few strokes in the areas where the ‘symptomatic pathogen’ is located. The method is used to treat ailments that are situated in the body between the skin and the muscles – typically these ailments include muscle aches, colds, and headaches.

Facial gua sha brings firmness, vitality and radiance to the skin, and effectively reduces swelling. Many have found facial gua sha to be an effective alternative to injectable treatments and easy to do at home. With regular treatments, those who perform facial gua sha have noticed that they can reduce the number of skincare products they use. Skincare products treat the surface of the skin, but the effects of facial gua sha extend deeper into the skin and the connective tissue.

FACE KINESIO taping

Kinesiotape is a flexible tape, designed to mimic the skin’s elasticity, it gently allows the free flow of blood and lymphatic fluid to the deep layers of the skin. This special tape helps to improve circulation, release tension, support muscles, and re-program movement patterns. Why you should incorporate it as between the sessions aftercare?!
As our facial mimics and posture greatly affect how we are aging, changing the movement pattern of our face to be the most balanced, relaxed, and serene it can be, will directly impact tension wrinkles, and sagging of the skin.

Each customized skin treatment has been specially designed to treat a particular skin problem.

Please NOTE:

all appointments require a thorough skin consult with the first booking.

Face sculpting Massage during pregnancy

Manual facial massage of any kind has no reported contraindications.

Considering the many changes a woman’s body goes through during pregnancy — including headaches, swelling of the face, and hormonal patches of melasma, and hyperpigmentation — facial massage is especially beneficial for soon-to-be mothers; since it addresses all of the above by promoting relaxation, fluid drainage, and cell turnover. Since buccal is considered a non-invasive facial massage, pregnant women do not need to be concerned about it either. It is absolutely safe during pregnancy.

Body Massage during pregnancy

There is an increased risk of blood clots during pregnancy as well, so massage strokes that impact blood circulation are not advisable. And since the chances of losing a pregnancy are highest during the first 12 weeks, it is recommended that women in this stage avoid pretty much all varieties of full-body massages. There is not tiem frame for postnatal treatmens.
