What is myofascial facial massage?
Facial tissues are not made up of skin alone โ beneath it lie muscles and fascia (connective tissue), forming an interconnected layered system. In an optimal state, these layers move freely in relation to each other.
However, daily tension, stress, and repetitive facial expressions can reduce this mobility โ the layers may start to feel โstuckโ together. This limits tissue movement, slows blood circulation and lymphatic flow, and can give the face a more rigid or tired appearance.
Myofascial massage helps restore the natural glide between these layers by releasing tension and improving tissue mobility. When the muscles and fascia can move freely again, the skinโs supply of oxygen and nutrients improves, supporting its natural tone and elasticity.
How does the treatment work?
The treatment is performed using manual techniques, working on both superficial and deeper layers of tissue. The neck and shoulder area are also included to achieve full relaxation and better overall results.
Important to know:
The massage is performed on dry skin (without oils or lotions), which gives it a mild exfoliating effect โ removing dead skin cells and stimulating skin renewal.
After the procedure, it is recommended to moisturize the skin, for example, by using a nourishing mask or hydrating cream.
