What is a Bellanina Face Lift Massage?

benefits

Not a “facial” but a massage oriented treatment for the face, the Bellanina Facelift Massage can lift your face and spirits through a series of acupressure strokes, contouring strokes, effleurage, tapotement and lymph drainage while relaxing the body as well. A massage to the hands, feet, neck, shoulders and scalp is also included.Look younger without the use of painful injections, chemicals or surgery

Firmer, more toned skin, youthful glow, and very relaxing.

the technique

Bellanina Facelift Massage begins with a thorough cleansing with a pure, wholesome facial cleanser and warm towels to soften the skin. This process cleans cellular debris and prepares the skin for massage. Most of the session is devoted to massaging your face with luxurious oils, crèmes and the signature Bellanina Honey-lift Massage lotion.  A masque is applied and during that time your arms and hands are massaged. Warmed towels soothe the tension lines from your face. A face toning massage is performed which may include facial cupping and/or Farmhouse Fresh Infinite Chill Globes. 

A full thirty minutes is devoted to massaging your face with luxurious aromatherapeutic oils and our signature invigorating Honeylift Massage lotion. This sophisticated massage lotion softens and revitalizes the skin while providing antibacterial benefits and immune system support.  Using whipping, tapping and contouring strokes as well as manual lymph drainage, blood and oxygen are stimulated to nourish, rejuvenate and tone the muscles and skin of the face.

Next, the refresh step is the use of a cool towel on the face to help blood circulation and to cool off the skin after the vigorous honey lift massage. I place a warm towel on the decollete and cocoon you. This stimulates blood and oxygen to nourish, rejuvenate and tone the muscles and skin of the face, flow to Your feet are  massaged, Farmhouse Honey Heel masked and wrapped in warm towels while you relax during the “refresh” step.  I will leave you to rest for about 10-15 minutes at this time.

The session ends with the face being toned and moisturized with tonics, crèmes and serums containing the finest natural bio-extracts to feed and nourish the skin.

Repeated facial massage helps to  train the muscles of the face to be firmer and tighter.

Afterward you will feel wonderfully relaxed and see noticeable results with each treatment. In just a few treatments you will experience a remarkable improvement in your facial muscle tone and the quality of your complexion.

Facial includes:



• Extractions (removing sebum from plugged pores). Included in this are extractions using a lancet, which pricks the skin to ‘open up’ a milia or a pustule to extract or drain. Often bleeding occurs.
• Exfoliation such as scrubs, peels and microdermabrasion
• Steaming equipment
• Galvanic, ultrasonic, laser or micro-current equipment or a variety of other pieces of equipment designed to cleanse, stimulate and remove dead skin and penetrate products, stimulate collagen products, and so forth.
• Active ingredients are applied to make changes in the skin cells, in the form of ampoules and serum applications with vitamins, minerals, peptides, and anti-oxidants. Often these ingredients are ‘pushed’ into the skin with high frequency equipment, like galvanic, to penetrate deeper in the skin cells.
•  Chemical peels, such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, jester, blue peels, phenol peels, are applied to cause the skin to peel off to reveal new skin underneath. The damage from a chemical peel stimulates collagen production much like ‘skinning’ your elbow or knee causes you to grow new skin.
• Manual manipulation techniques (massage) in a smooth, soft, fluid manner using the backs of the fingers (not the tips). This is the ‘feel good’ part of the facial.
• Cleansing first, then dressing the skin to prepare the client to leave.

Now, let’s examine what we do in a Bellanina Facelift Massage:

• Stretching of the arms affect the wrist and shoulders, latissimus dorsi, teres major, serratus anterior and pectoralis major
• Stretching of the neck involves the trapezius muscles and occiput, and more
• The Acu Circle Wake up is designed to stimulate the energy flow in the face through activating 9 acupressure points on the face involving the large intestine, bladder, stomach, gall bladder meridians plus a few more
• The skin is cleansed to remove make up and cellular debris prior to placing massage oil. It would be irritating to the skin to massage it with makeup on.
• We massage pectoralis, deltoids, trapezius muscles and again the neck and occiput
• Then…. We do a 20-point massage technique through strokes of lifting and contouring, effleurage, pettrisage, lymph strokes, tapotement and acupressure.
• We cleanse the oil off and prepare the face for the Honeylift massage strokes.
• Through a series of massage strokes of tapotement and reverse percussion we perform the Honeylift technique
• We cleanse the honey off and dress the face to protect the skin from the elements.
• We then massage the feet, hands and scalp.

This bullet-point description helps you to understand that this treatment is not a facial although there are a few similarities!

It is important that you never call the Bellanina Facelift Massage a FACIAL because it is beyond the scope of a massage therapist and could cause you some trouble with the cosmetology board, if it were brought to their attention. Also, it minimizes the treatment to a skin treatment for the face and what we have created is a full body treatment that focuses on the face. Our treatment is more holistic and involves the movement of energy throughout the body as well as a benefit of relaxation, clearer and more radiant skin and toned muscles (through the series approach).
