Japanese therapeutic facial massage is a combination of traditional Japanese medical concepts and different manual therapy techniques. It is an advanced methodology involving techniques based on finger movements and precise hand work. This massage improves blood circulation, relaxes and stimulates the production of collagen. It is very effective in the treatment of dry and oily skin, acne, wrinkles, facial spots (pigmented, age spots), headaches and migraines. Japanese therapeutic facial massage has been praised as one of the most effective natural skin treatments for improving skin condition and slowing the ageing process.
Benefits and effects of Japanese therapeutic facial massage
Regular Japanese Therapeutic Facial Massage results in brighter, smoother and firmer skin:
- Reduces sagging and wrinkles.
- Japanese Therapeutic Facial Massage strengthens and tones facial muscles.
- The skin’s luminosity is maximised.
- Japanese Therapeutic Facial Massage accelerates the skin’s blood circulation, stimulating the capillaries to absorb more efficiently the beneficial substances that prevent skin ageing.
- Cleanses impurities and toxins.
- Japanese therapeutic facial massage raises the skin’s temperature. The increased temperature activates the lymphatic system, enabling skin cells to effectively remove bacteria and toxins.
- Normalises the skin’s moisture balance.
- Japanese therapeutic facial massage increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture by creating a barrier that protects the skin from drying out.
- Relaxes tense muscles and improves the function of the internal organs through reflexogenic zones and the meridian system.
