Facial Rejuvenation Massage
Facial Rejuvenation Massage rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic practice that combine lymphatic drainage and acupressure point stimulation with the therapeutic techniques gua sha and bojin to enhance both outer beauty and inner vitality. This approach focuses not only on improving the appearance of the skin but also promoting overall health and energy flow throughout the body.
It deeply relaxes the muscles of the face, neck and upper chest. Great for people who experience TMJ issues and tightness in their neck from clenching their jaw!
This is more than a beauty ritual - it is a therapeutic journey that aligns one's external appearance with internal harmony. Consistent practice brings visible results while nurturing the body's natural rhythm and vitality.
Gua Sha and Bojin Techniques Explained
GUA SHA involves the gentle scraping (more like gliding) of the skin using a smooth-edged tool, traditionally made of jade or another cooling stone. This motion stimulates microcirculation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and helps release muscle tension.
BOJIN also utilizes a specially shaped smooth tool to target deeper layers of fascia and acupressure points. Bojin works to unblock meredians (energy channels), release stagnant qi (energy - pronounced "chi"), and enhance the body's natural healing response.
Benefits for Appearance
Lifted and Toned Skin These techniques help stimulate collagen production and improve elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and sagging.
Brighter Complexion Improved circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin, giving it a radiant, healthy glow.
Reduced Puffiness and Dark Circles Lymphatic drainage helps eliminate toxins and reduce fluid retention, especially around the eyes and jawline.
Improved Skin Texture Regular sessions smooth roughness and promote a more even skin tone by supporting natural cell turnover. The special oils used in the treatment also enhance this benefit.
