What Is A Fascial Facial?

Many of us are searching for the key to a youthful appearance – and in the UK alone we spend billions every year on skincare products to help us look our best. But what if there was an option that didn’t require an array of products or any form of surgery?

This is what a fascial facial can offer – a treatment which has also been dubbed a “natural facelift”. But what is a fascial facial, I hear you ask. Let me explain. 

What is fascia?

Underneath our skin is a web of tissue known as fascia. This is connective tissue that provides support and structure for our skin. There are two types of fascia – superficial, which sits just below the skin, and deep, which provides structure and separation for your facial muscles. 

But fascia in your face can become tight, just as it can in any other part of your body. You might already be familiar with the concept of myofascial release. A fascial facial is like a myofascial release massage for your face.

What does a fascial facial do?

When I deliver a fascial facial massage, I work to release the tension that’s become stored in your fascia, particularly at the deeper level. By helping the fascia release, I can relax this tension, restore elasticity to your skin and improve your facial muscle tone – all in 90 minutes. 

The most visible benefits of a fascial facial are changes like a lifted jawline and cheekbones, more glowing skin, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

All of this is possible through massage – no injectables or surgery required. Essentially a fascial facial is a way to use your body’s natural tissues to provide a “facelift”, helping you feel more confident and look fabulous. 

It’s also a perfect treat ahead of the Christmas party season. So, if you’re looking for a more natural way to restore your glow, give a fascial facial a go!
