FAQ’s

~ Even though you may see visible results after just one treatment, it’s recommended to train your facial muscles for longer-lasting results. Just like you don’t just go to the gym once and expect instant abs. The recommended approach is to start with an intensive treatment plan of approximately 6-8 treatments close together (e.g. weekly). Then space out your treatments to every few weeks/ monthly. For better results you can repeat the intensive plan every 6 months. Everyone is different however, so it’s best to have a chat on the right plan for you.
Also, remember that everything in the body in linked. Face sculpting massages should just make up part of your holistic wellness plan. It’s important to support your body with daily movement, nutritious food, healthy sleep routines, hydration, mindfulness exercises like journaling and meditation – or whatever suits and works for YOU!
