Facial Acupressure in Harpenden

Thank you for visiting Balance Therapies. Please note I am currently no longer taking clients.

What is Facial Acupressure Therapy?

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying pressure to certain meridian and vessel points. These meridians relate to different organ systems.

Acupressure points are special sensitive spots on meridian pathways. This therapy is similar to acupuncture, you just use your thumb or fingers instead of a needle.

By treating acupressure points you can achieve not only good results with pain relief but also with relaxation of muscle tension and benefits the body's systems depending on which meridian the point is located. There are twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary vessels.

This treatment incorporates working on the acupressure points of the face and head and releases the muscular, facscial structures. The skin, muscles and fascia of the face have a unique structure to allow us to express ourselves intellectually and emotionally. We therefore hold a huge amount of tension and stress in our facial structure.

Your treatment

Facial acupressure treatments usually last for about an hour. You will lie on my comfortable therapy bed covered by a blanket. I will start the treatment by carrying out a thorough facial cleanse using steamy hot towels and giving you a relaxing head massage.

I then apply a luxurious radiance-boosting omega oil to your face, neck and decolatate before massaging these areas whilst stimulating the acupressure points.

All products used in the treatment are natural, organic products and are suitable for sensitive skin.
