Body for Life - Benefits of Massage

Let’s Face It!

I believe it’s safe to say we all would like to have healthy and youthful appearing skin. However, father time, along with other forces and habits creep into our faces, robbing us of that look we long to keep forever. Experts relate the skin’s worst enemies are overexposure to the sun, smoking, excessive use of alcohol, long-term drug use and stress. Other factors that cause the skin to age are bacteria, foods containing too much fat and additives, the environment and gravity.

But, there is good news and it’s called the Facelift Massage.

Facelift massage treatment is the most luxurious, safe and effective non-invasive method of treating the problem of sagging aging skin. The facelift massage is a multi-faceted treatment consisting of massage, anti-aging products and a home care program.

When facial muscles are massaged and exercised regularly, the facial circulation is improved, capillaries are strengthened, the facial lymph system is cleansed and the skin blemishes diminish. The stimulating effects of nimble fingers forces blood to rush to the skin’s surface, promoting circulation, detoxification and relaxation. The massage creates a greater cell turnover, exposing newer healthier cells and through the process of blood and oxygen coming to the surface, a metabolic process occurs that allows the toning and tightening affect upon the muscles of the face. Facial massage can also keep the collagen and elastic fibers “moist and alive”. Collagen is the webbing or connective tissue that maintains the form and structure of the soft tissue areas of the body. Without it, your skin would look like a prune. Skin researchers have found that it is not the aging process that destroys the collagen, but rather the abuse we give it.

For those who are not that concerned with anti-aging, but looking for relief from stress, the Facelift Massage can be the greatest stress-reducing, relaxing and pampering treatment they have ever received. Clients find themselves “zoning out” into a state of deep relaxation. The mind resolves itself to be quiet and the body allows itself to receive without having to give back.

While some clients can see results as quickly as the first session, repeated treatments are required to keep the face taut and youthful. The number of treatments depends on the condition of the skin. A younger person would require fewer treatments than someone who has experienced severe sun exposure or loss of collagen.

Facelift Massage Treatment:
This 60-75 minute facelift massage consists of a thorough cleansing with a pure, wholesome facial cleanser and warm towels to soften the skin. Thirty minutes are then devoted to massaging the face with luxurious aromatherapeutic oils and massage lotion. Using whipping, tapping and contouring strokes as well as manual lymph drainage, blood and oxygen is stimulated to nourish, rejuvenate and tone the muscles and skin of the face. The face is moisturized with crèmes containing the finest natural bio-extracts to feed and nourish the skin. During the “tie-up” step, your hands and feet are massaged while you relax.

Home Care Program:
One of the unique aspects of the facelift massage is its self care program. Clients are taught how to massage and exercise their facial muscles at home. This keeps the muscles toned in between their massage appointments and empowers them to be pro-active so they are not totally dependent on the facelift massage specialist. By incorporating a facial fitness program of massage, exercise and skin care products, you will enjoy the benefits of healthy and youthful appearing skin!
