Benefits of Acupressure Facial During a Holistic Facial Treatment.

Did you know? That the ancient Chinese treatment of acupressure has been practiced and perfected for over 5000 years? In simple terms, it was discovered that by pressing certain points of the body, pain or disease were alleviated – and often in regions of the body remote from the pain or pressure point!

Facial acupressure can be performed by a massage therapist

By pressing certain meridian/reflex points in the face, not only are there benefits to the facial area but for the whole body – a great bonus:

Improvement of muscular tone and facial contours, including the area between the nose and mouth (specifically a problem for smokers)

Stimulation of circulation and nutrient flow to the facial skin

Promotes an effective lymphatic flow and removal of toxins

Glowing and healthier-looking complexion due to improved skin oxygen levels

Soothing of forehead wrinkles, creases between the brows and ‘crows feet’

Alleviation of sinus problems and improvement of air flow – may help tinnitus

Reduction of puffiness around the eyes, nose bleeds and eye strain
