This modality puts an unique, new touch on any facial treatment, generates retail sales and is great added value to any skin treatment.
This modality utilizes 3 different tools to stimulate the lymphatic system of the head, neck and chest - resulting in a list of unbelievable results.
These funky looking looking tools are by far my new favorite toys... I'm showing off and here is why!
Step 1 : Gua-Sha Plates & Stone Rollers
Have you ever heard of the semi-precious stones rose quartz and jade? Well, they are no longer just for jewelry!
Facial Stone Therapy is an ancient massage technique developed to stimulate various pressure points, increase blood circulation to and from the area, drain stagnated lymph and release muscle tension. These tools are very special massage tools and used to create this effect on the skin! A selection of different shapes, sizes and colours are available. They are made from authentic crystal or semi precious stones like quartz, jade and obsidian which are firmly glided, wiggled and rolled across the skin.... moving lymph.
Just like micro needling stimulates healing by creating mini injuries in the skin, this creates mini traumas, signaling to the brain to stimulate those same healing processes in the area.
Objectives:
- Beauty and Wellness - to help smooth, clear, brighten a sluggish skin, stimulate collagen production, fight signs of aging.
- Blood Circulation - As you gently scrape the skin, micro-circulation is improved, which brings oxygenated blood
- Reduce inflammation
- Lymphatic drainage - encourage drainage to promote detoxification, a reduction in puffiness and dark circles, resulting in a brighter complexion.
- Muscle and Nerve relaxation - sooth muscles with a gentle pressure or a deep tissue massage for tension.
- Increase product absorption.
- Soothing and Cooling - especially nice after a stimulating modality like a peel, to sooth and calm the skin.
- Retail - teach your clients to use them at home to prolong the effects of their professional treatment, practice the habit of good selfcare.
Step 2 : Facial cups
Now that all the stagnant lymph, muscle tension and blockages are released, open and moving, we use the facial cups to drain lymph into surrounding lymph nodes. By doing this we stimulate the blood circulation as well, increasing cellular exchange which re-enforces the advantages mentioned above.
Advantages of lymphatic drainage and blood circulation stimulation:
- Increases Blood Flow
- Stimulates Detox
- Helps Drainage of Fluids and Toxins
- Increases Metabolism
- Facial Rejuvenation:
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Rejuvenates Skin
- Refines Pores
- Body Sculpting:
- Reduces Appearance and Feeling of Cellulite Tightens Skin
- Improves Skin Elasticity.
- By moving lymph into the surrounding lymph nodes, cellular exchange is stimulated, bring more nutrients to the cells, removing waste products. This is the key, and where the stunning results stem from.
Step 3 : Cryotherapy
Using cool temperatures on the skin has long been know to have amazing effects on the skin.
Soothing & cooling after stimulating modalities but also has an surprising effect on the dermis.
The benefits of cryotherapy includes:
- Brings a radiance
- Immediate tightening
- Restore firmness,
- Improve tone
- Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
- Stimulate hydration
- Energizing effect
- Increased cell turn over
Results are visible on most people after just one treatment but for lasting benefits as time goes on, use as much as daily.
