Japanese Facial Massage

The facial massage I perform at Mirla Skincare incorporates a delightful blend of traditional Japanese massage techniques, with a special emphasis on the art of shiatsu. By incorporating light, rapid, and percussive movements, this facial massage technique works with your skin by enhancing circulation, improving muscle tone, boosting hydration, and facilitating lymphatic drainage for both your neck and face. These unique techniques not only benefit your skin, but they also have a profoundly calming effect on your entire body, inducing a state of deep relaxation. In fact, with regular massage treatments, numerous studies have shown an impressive average decrease of 31% in cortisol levels, helping you achieve a greater sense of overall well-being.

“In addition to providing mental satisfaction, relaxation, and improvements in skin texture, beauty treatments such as facial massage also result in morphological changes in the face, such as improvements in facial sagging and lifting effects on the cheeks. The soft tissues, including the superficial musculoaponeurotic system and subcutaneous adipose tissue, are distributed subcutaneously. Facial Massage may change their morphology.”
