Focus on: Zone Face Lift

The Zone Face Lift promotes a kinder, holistic approach to helping women naturally look and feel their best.

By applying the most effective ancient and modern techniques, including Bergman Method Facial Reflexology, Japanese facelift massage, Native American healing and specialist tools, the key benefits can be quite dramatic: emotions held in the face are released, the body balances, the mind calms, whilst collagen and elastin are stimulated, thereby tightening the skin and sculpting the jawline and face.

Interesting Fact

Imagine being able to know what’s going on inside a person just by looking at their face. You’ll never look at people the same way again. Reflex points on the face which correspond to different organs of the body help the therapist to build a clear picture of what’s going on on a physical and emotional level.

Research

Research has shown that vibratory massage and strapping movements which bring up the blood supply, feed the sluggish tissues and carry away waste matter can have a corrective effect to drooping jowls and hollow cheeks (Banford Academy, 1938, p. 93) and that the manipulations of massage upon the muscles in such a way as to produce a suction or pumping effect, pressing onward the contents of the veins and lymph channels, and thus creating a vacuum to be filled by a fresh supply of fluid derived from the capillaries and the tissues, may be useful in removing wrinkles (Kellogg, 1895, pp. 23-24).
