Signature Face Lift Massage near Farnborough
Signature Face Lift Massage Farnborough
A restorative treatment created to relax your mind, body and senses: while lifting and sculpting your facial contours…..
I have massaged my clients’ faces for over thirty-six years, it was a treatment that I loved immediately and still do today. Human touch is the oldest and most enduring way to offer comfort and much more; thankfully, I believe it will always be this way. I have a deep appreciation of stillness, having started my meditation journey ten years ago and then going onto qualify as a meditation teacher BSoM, four years ago. Helping a client come to stillness, release their tensions and feel a sense of calm will always be a pleasure and a joy.
My Signature offering is born from this enjoyment and is the culmination of my experience and studioal observations, additional training, experimentation with techniques, and invaluable client feedback.
Why book this treatment?
You are looking for an active facial massage treatment near Farnborough.
You may be tempted to think of facial massage as a fluffy treatment, especially in the aesthetics arena with many high-tech devices and treatments available.
However, when performed correctly, facial sculpting massages can lift and define facial contours, smooth expression lines, improve skin health, and leave you feeling as though you’re floating on air.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
As we age, some muscles in the face tighten, and fascial (connective tissue) restrictions form due to facial expressions. The fascia and muscles are connected and due to holding patterns within the tissues, tightness (restrictions are created) that can accentuate lines and wrinkles. Slow massage techniques with holding, allow these restrictions to release, which effectively softens facial lines and wrinkles.
Wellbeing
Massage is an especially nurturing treatment. I’ve witnessed client anxiety and mood shift many, many times following their treatment. Gifting yourself time to relax and truly unwind in safe hands calms the central nervous system, allowing the body to release tensions you may be holding onto. In our fast-paced world, treatments that signal relaxation for both mind and body offer a safe space of nurture and comfort. In Eastern traditions such as acupuncture, there are 300 pressure points throughout the body, with over 200 located in the upper body, including the face, head, neck, and shoulders.
Skin Glow
Physiologically, facial massage increases blood flow to the skin, bringing vital nutrients and encouraging lymphatic flow, removing waste and toxins. For skin that appears sluggish, dull, or puffy, facial massage can be the perfect treatment – either as a stand-alone or complementary to other treatments. A good skincare routine, good nutrition and regular facial massage can help to improve your skin health and overall luminosity.
Overall Health
Facial massage is often therapeutic for clients who experience tension headaches, sinus congestion, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Relaxing the central nervous system puts the body into repair and regeneration mode, something most people can benefit from alongside facial massage. As the ultimate adaptable treatment, massage, when delivered with care and intuition, can transport any receptive client into a state of deep, blissful relaxation.
How to get the most out of your treatment?
Please fill out your online consultation at the time of booking.
On the day of your treatment, I recommend that you allow yourself some relaxation time afterwards. If possible, avoid any taxing tasks or rushing around, allowing yourself to soak up that post-massage relaxation feeling. Hydrate well beforehand and avoid coming to your appointment feeling hungry, this could distract you from feeling relaxed.
If you have any aches or pains from the shoulders upwards, please let me know on the day. Wear loose and comfortable clothing. Your treatment time is 55 minutes, please leave your jewellery at home and earrings out, (I do massage your ears.)
This is a quiet treatment to enable both relaxation and the application of deep facial massage movements around your mouth and jaw area. Please relax as much as possible and don’t feel overly conscious if your jaw relaxes and your mouth falls open a little.
Following your appointment, I recommend drinking a large glass of water and relaxing for at least an hour. Wear Sunscreen, make-up may be applied.
You are unique, so please let me know how the massage felt for you.

This was my first treatment with Jo and all I can say is WOW! Her studio is beautiful and highly professional, the couch is like a cloud to sink into and the actual treatment itself was so relaxing, I felt I was in a different world and I certainly didn’t want it to end! The results after just one treatment blew me away!
The lines on my forehead had completely disappeared from sight. Jo has magic hands! I shall definitely be returning regularly as this is now a part of my life that I’m going to look forward to monthly. Thank you Jo - Just wonderful!

How do you relax a stressed face?
When a face is stressed, many factors come into play. What shows on a person’s face can result from how they are feeling, what they may be going through, including physical pain, emotional upset, or significant life changes.
Finding effective ways to relax and prioritising some me-time every day can help to relax facial tension and stress. My top daily recommendations would include a few minutes of conscious breathing, some body movements, and massaging the forehead and scalp. These suggestions, practised daily, can help manage the buildup of stress and tension in the face.
Conscious breathing, AKA breath work
Regularly taking just a few minutes each day to take some deeper breaths into the belly. Breathing through the nose and sighing out through the mouth.
Body movement
Body movements that include shoulder rolls, gentle head rotations, arm swinging, swaying and shaking can help to relieve the buildup of emotional tension in the body. Combine with some breathwork for greater effect.
Scalp massage
I talk to my clients about scalp and facial massage, which they can easily do at home to support their treatments and help ease the appearance of lines, especially on the forehead. The scalp can hold a lot of tension, which carries onto the face. Massaging the scalp daily with fingertips and circular or small backwards-and-forward movements can be super effective, quick, and easy to do.
Professional massage
Massage therapy allows for complete relaxation, even when the movements and techniques are active. I start with some breathwork that feels right for the client and helps me tune in. Often, people turn to body massage for relaxation, overlooking the effectiveness of facial massage when delivered appropriately.
Fact
There are 361 acupressure points on the human body, with over 200 in the neck, shoulders, head, face and ears alone. These points are distributed along meridians (invisible lines) within the body and relate to energy in the body or Qi (pronounced Chi).
In my experience, my clients love the feeling of facial massage as a therapeutic treatment for tension and stress in the face. Human touch delivered in the right way, that is to say, intuitively given as a treatment to suit the client on the day of their treatment, is how every massage therapy should be delivered. Self-massage complements having a professional massage.

How does this facial massage benefit my skin long term?
Facial massage increases blood flow and, with it, vital nutrients to the skin’s cells. In turn, this can stimulate cellular turnover and renewal, both of which decline as we age.
When regular facial massage is combined with a good skincare routine, self-massage, and even facial Yoga exercises, it is widely acknowledged, anecdotally, as beneficial for the skin’s health.
I regularly massage my face, especially my forehead and scalp, and have noticed a cumulative relaxation of forehead lines.

Can a relaxing facial massage really lift and sculpt the face?
Yes! The techniques I use in my Face Lift massage induce relaxation whilst remaining active, lifting and sculpting the facial contours. Many clients feel lighter and more lifted immediately after their treatment, with lines of tension eased.
How is this different from a traditional beauty facial?
A traditional beauty facial typically includes some massage time, usually 10-15 minutes, using a scented facial oil, which really depends on the therapist. My Face lift massage is a 60-minute massage therapy intended as a quiet experience (no talking during the massage itself). Commencing with a hot towel cleanse routine, the remainder of the treatment focuses on massage. The shoulders, upper arms, head, neck, ears and face are all massaged using a variety of stretching, lifting and smoothing techniques.
As a Corneotherapist, I use Dermaviduals skincare (unperfumed) to nourish the skin during treatment. Each treatment concludes once again with a hot towel and some pressure points. Whilst I do have a particular routine that I’ve created, each treatment is tailored to my client on the day.
What happens during a holistic facial massage?
Consultation – Before commencing your treatment, I will ask you how you are feeling and what has prompted you to book. You will also have received a Face Lift Massage consultation via email at the time of booking, to complete.
Cleansing – Using Dermaviduals cleanser and a hot towel, I will prepare your skin.
Massage – It is my own unique massage therapy, created to induce relaxation through smooth flowing movements and fascial (connective tissue) release. I will seamlessly transition into lifting and sculpting your facial contours while softening fine lines and wrinkles.
Products – I use Dermaviduals skin care, including cleanser, my choice of massage medium to suit your skin and moisturiser to finish.
After your treatment is complete, I recommend hydrating with water or herbal tea and some relaxation time, where possible.
