Face lifting massage: what Glowing Lifting is and how long it lasts

A face lifting massage sounds like something done with a device. Not with us - Glowing Lifting is a hands-on massage that works with the muscles of the face, the lymph under the skin and the skin itself. This article is about what it does, what it does not do and how often it makes sense to come.

What Glowing Lifting is

A face massage with a lifting effect that combines muscle stimulation, lymphatic drainage and skin work. It lasts 60 minutes. No device, no needles and no injections.

The lymphatic drainage is the part that takes down puffiness - that is where the firmer, more awake feeling comes from. The muscle stimulation brings back tone, and the skin work brings back freshness and glow.

Who it is for

For a face that looks tired: sagging skin, lack of glow, first signs of ageing, a tired look after stress and lack of sleep. There does not have to be a specific problem - it is enough that your face does not look the way you feel.

What you can expect - and what you cannot

More elasticity, a better-defined contour, a fresher and firmer look. It shows after the very first session, but it does not hold by itself - the effect builds up when the massage is repeated.

A lifting massage does not erase wrinkles and does not replace an injection. If you are looking for work on wrinkles, volume loss or asymmetry, Facial Sculpting is the better fit - it goes deeper, down to the muscular, fascial and bone structure of the face.

How often

As upkeep, once a month does the job. As preparation before an occasion, once, a few days ahead.

When to see a doctor first

Inflamed or irritated skin, a rash, a recent procedure or intervention on the face. In these cases ask your doctor or dermatologist first.
