FAQ 

​

How many sessions will I need?

​

Typically, the recommended series consists of 5 to 8 weeks of treatments, followed by a maintenance treatment once a month. The results are visible after the first visit, however, the effects depend on the age and condition of the deep tissues.

​

How does it work?

​

Manual therapy of face, neck and clevage this allows deeper layers of the muscle tissue and fascia to be reached and addressed.  The specific movements of this massage help to stimulate and retrain the muscles to promote more of a lifting effect on the face and improve muscle elasticity.  It helps to relax tension in both the deep and surface areas of the muscles which helps total recovery.

 

Often what is needed is the work of a specialist in facial manual therapy, who will reduce muscle tension in the face, head, neck, cleavage, through muscle-fascial massage, lymphatic drainage, osteopathic - detaching tissues from bones in order to restore their position from years ago and also improve their density by clearing the circulation and lymph, at the same time we improve the production of collagen or increase the number of capillaries, adhesions regenerate and rejuvenate at the cellular level.

​

Skilful use of techniques known to me will not only eliminate tension in the face area, but will allow the whole body to relax and restore harmony. The face will look younger, better nourished, oxygenated and relaxed.

 

What happens during the treatment?

​

1)  During the procedure, the client will lie comfortably. Anna will begin by cleansing her face to remove makeup, sunscreen, or other products.

2) Anna will then start the treatment with a massage of the neckline, neck and shoulders, then the face and inside the mouth to work on the lower part of the face and jaw. The intraoral part of this procedure is performed with gloves. We will stimulate and stimulate various facial areas for complete regeneration.

3)   If you have very tense jaws, you may feel some discomfort during the first massage. Anna will always check if the pressure is right and adjust them accordingly.

What should I do after a treatment?

​

It’s common to feel deeply relaxed after a session, but your facial muscles might feel a little fatigued. Depending on your level of tension going into the treatment, your face or jaw may feel tender. 

It is important to stay well hydrated after a treatment to help flush any toxins released during the session.  It is absolutely fine to carry on with your normal daily activities after a session, but we do recommend that you take it easy for the day.  

​

When will I start seeing results?

​

Results can be seen after the first visit, but the difference is more noticeable after the third or fourth treatment since the results are cumulative.

 

Is the treatment painful?

​

The treatment is normally very comfortable.  However, if you have a lot of jaw tension, you may experience some discomfort during the massage. Usually it's a good, therapeutic discomfort, but Anna will always check to see if the pressure is okay and adjust accordingly.

​

Will it help my TMJ pain?

​
