As an extension of both shiatsu bodywork and lymphatic massage, these treatments combine sensitive hands-on techniques, which are gentle yet profoundly powerful and effective. They can alleviate specific conditions, enhance your external appearance, increase your sense of well-being, raise your self-esteem and boost your confidence. But which one to choose....?
Facial RejuvenationThis treatment includes shiatsu stretches to release tension from the shoulders, neck and head, and start the process of relaxation.
Muscle and connective tissue release techniques to clear toxins from the muscles and skin tissue to help restore them to their natural position. Gentle acupressure point work to calm, stimulate, tonify and clear the body's energy channels. Massage with specially selected essential oils to help replenish and nourish the skin, improve elasticity, promote skin cell regeneration and smooth wrinkles and fine lines. |
Lymphatic FacialUsing the lightest of touch, the skin of your neck and face is gently moved with a special technique (manual lymphatic drainage). The gentle, rhythmic movement promotes a deep sense of relaxation and calms the autonomic nervous system, stimulating and activating lymph vessels and nodes to clear old cells, toxins and accumulated fluid right down to the sub-cutaneous level. This improves the look and feel of your skin and helps reduce puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles and fine lines.
It can also help inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea, as well as reduce acne scarring. MLD treatment is recommended by cosmetic surgeons both as preparation for surgery and to speed up the healing of scars and swelling afterwards (see MLDUK mini-guide: Cosmetic Surgery - speeding up recovery). No oil or powder is used so it is a totally safe treatment, even if you have sensitive skin. |

HOW MANY SESSIONS?
Either treatment can be enjoyed as a one-off but to see significant improvement, a course of 6 treatments received weekly or bi-weekly is recommended. Thereafter, a monthly session will sustain the benefits. If you are seeking treatment for a specific skin condition, you may need more frequent treatment but this can be assessed at your initial consultation and treatment.
If you have had any facial botox treatment, please allow a gap of 8 weeks before receiving either facial treatment.
Each treatment consists of a consultation to discuss your health, life patterns and establish your aims. If possible, please arrive wearing no make-up.
