Natural Lift Facial Massage 

Natural Lift Facial Massage is a new procedure providing a natural facial lift without the need for needles or surgery. It incorporates a unique blend of highly effective techniques drawn from both Japanese Face Massage and Indian Face Massage with complementary techniques of Acupressure and Reflexology for the face.

This facial massage involves a sequence of massage techniques which act as a natural facelift with no need for surgery helping you look (and often feel) younger. We all have tension which builds up in our facial muscles and many of us would love to reduce wrinkles. So it's not surprising that this is a very popular and sought-after treatment. The Japanese influence involves the facial meridians and can affect the balance of health in the whole body, as well as the specific flow of energy or Ki in the face.

Natural Lift Facial Massage is a special combination of massage techniques (Anma), the traditional system of massage in Japan, and Ayurveda, the ancient Indian healing method. This system of facial massage is part of the ancient teachings of both India and Japan, and has been refined for the West over time. Natural Lift Facial Massage uses a combination of techniques to improve the complexion, remove toxins from the face, prevent and remove facial wrinkles, age spots and balance the emotional and Ki (or life force) which helps to improve overall health. Natural Lift Facial Massage produces the equivalent of an acupuncture face-lift without the insertion of needles! Unlike facial surgery, Natural Lift Facial Massage has no ill side effects and is a very effective method of facial care.

In the East, 'beauty' is considered equal to the optimal state of health. Even the most attractively shaped face cannot be beautiful if the person is not well, as health and beauty are not separate. When a person glows with the radiance of true health, nothing else is necessary for genuine beauty. Oriental medicine teaches that there are three major factors to true health: physical, psychological and spiritual health. According to this ancient tradition, beauty arises naturally if a person can bring these three factors into harmony. The intent of Natural Lift Facial Massage is to help prolong this natural, true health and beauty and to prevent disease.

This is a very relaxing treatment with the added benefits of toning and tightening the connective tissues and muscles of the face with positive and dramatic results which can be seen by many. Many people will ask if you have been away or done something different to your hair, you look younger! This is a usual comment as visually, people exchange a tight stressed and tired looking face for a more relaxed, younger, stress-free face with less tension which really shows.

This advanced method of traditional facial massage treats the surface and also deep facial tissues with highly refined, gentle hand and finger manipulation. These techniques can:

  • Increase blood circulation, enabling capillaries to deliver nutrients more effectively to the skin's surface
  • Stimulates the nervous system
  • Improve lymphatic flow, transporting bacteria & toxins away from skin cells
  • Strengthen and tone muscles, helping prevent skin sagging and fine lines
  • Repair and balance the condition of the skin, minimising the ageing process
  • Balance 'Ki' (chi), improving the health and appearance of the facial tissue

These massage techniques releases stresses and traumas locked deeply into the muscles and energy of the face, head and neck. Our face is often our mask, hiding who we really are and it takes much energy to maintain this 'front'. To experience dropping the mask can be the door to profound relaxation and inner ease.

Benefits:

Muscles: Our facial muscles are in constant use from smiling, frowning, crying, eating, yawning etc. Over time this can cause accumulated tension which restricts the blood vessels causing reduced blood and lymph circulation to the facial tissues. This in turn, prevents the efficient removal of waste products and reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients being received. Natural Lift Facial Massage reduces muscles tension and improves the flow of blood and lymph.

Nervous System: Touch has an immediate and beneficial effect on our emotions. Our nervous system governs the way we react to our environment and regulates our bodily systems. Natural Lift Facial Massage can help to calm and soothe our nervous system, aiding relaxation and promoting a positive outlook as well as balancing our bodily functions.

Circulation: Natural Lift Facial Massage boosts lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. The lymph vessels are very close to the skin's surface and the gentle stroking used during this massage has a major effect on improving saggy, puffy and grey skin.

Skin: Our skin is made up of connective tissues formed from elastin and collagen. These weave together and form a flexible, webbed structure. Over time and as we age, these fibres lock together and the skin looses its elasticity. Natural Lift Facial Massage helps to promote lost skin flexibility by gently toning these fibres and promoting suppleness and mobility. Dead cells are loosened and shed, exposing fresh new younger cells. The increased temperature of the skin relaxes the follicles and pores. This helps with absorption of the massage oil or product and this in turn softens the skin.

Energy: The universal life force is also known as 'Ki', 'Chi' or 'Prana'. There are energy centres and meridian lines all over the body, and the flow of energy over these centres and through these lines has a real effect on the health and well-being. Natural Lift Facial Massage helps to balance these energy centres by using finger pressure on the facial meridians and pressure points, helping to release any blockages and bringing a new flow of energy in the body's energy system.

To sum up, Natural Lift Facial Massage can help to:

  • Improve skin suppleness
  • Reduce & release any muscle tension in the face & jaw
  • Reduce expression lines & wrinkles
  • Relieve stress symptoms such as insomnia, headaches & eye strain
  • Tones & helps to tighten the skin and underlying muscle
  • Stimulate rejuvenation & cellular activity
  • Aid lymphatic circulation, increasing the supply of nutrients to the cells & elimination of toxins
  • Aid the removal of dead skin cells
  • Maintain a fresh, youthful appearance
  • Promote blood circulation
  • Enhance mental & physical relaxation
  • Helps bring new flow of energy
  • Make you feel fantastic!
