When Facial Meets Chinese Medicine — With an Extra Touch of Lift
Building upon our TCM Signature Facial, the TCM Facial Sculpt & Lift adds specialized manual facial sculpting and fascial lifting techniques to create a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation experience.
This treatment combines Chinese Medicine–inspired facial care, facial meridian gua sha, acupressure, Chinese herbal skincare, and specialized hands-on lifting techniques. No machines or injections are used. The treatment relies entirely on skilled manual techniques and therapeutic touch.
What Your Facial Includes
The first six steps of the treatment follow the same carefully designed TCM facial ritual:
1. Soothing & Hydrating Facial Massage Organic aloe vera gel is used for gentle facial massage to soothe and hydrate the skin while promoting relaxation. Gentle shoulder and neck work helps release tension and enhance the overall sense of relaxation.
2. Herbal Facial Cleansing The face is gently cleansed with a botanical cleanser containing honeysuckle (Jin Yin Hua) to remove impurities and prepare the skin for the treatment.
3. Facial Meridian Gua Sha Gentle gua sha techniques are performed along selected facial pathways to encourage circulation, release facial tension, and create a refreshed and naturally radiant appearance.
4. Facial Acupressure Selected facial acupressure points are stimulated to help relax areas that commonly hold tension, including the temples, eye area, jaw, and facial muscles.
5. Ginseng & Pearl Herbal Soft Mask A nourishing soft mask containing ginseng and pearl powder is applied to condition and refresh the skin. During the mask, relaxing shoulder acupressure is provided for an added sense of relaxation.
6. Soothing Herbal Finishing Cream After the mask is removed, a botanical cream containing Zi Cao (Lithospermum) is applied to soothe, moisturize, and comfort the skin.
The Signature Addition: Manual Facial Sculpt & Lift
The 75-minute treatment also incorporates specialized manual fascial lifting and facial sculpting techniques.
Through carefully controlled pressure, direction, and rhythm, these hands-on techniques work with the superficial fascial tissues and facial muscle groups to help release areas of tension and improve the overall balance and appearance of the face.
The approach follows four key principles:
Release → Circulate → Rebalance → Sculpt
1. Release Fascial Tension Gentle but targeted manual techniques help release areas of superficial fascial tension and improve the mobility and suppleness of the facial tissues.
2. Encourage Circulation & Lymphatic Flow The techniques are combined with appropriate facial movements to encourage local circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping reduce the appearance of temporary puffiness and leaving the complexion looking refreshed.
3. Rebalance Facial Muscle Tension Different areas of the face can develop different patterns of muscle tension from daily habits, facial expressions, stress, and jaw clenching. Hands-on techniques are used to promote a more balanced feeling of facial muscle tone.
4. Refine the Appearance of Facial Contours When facial tension is released and the tissues and muscles are more relaxed and balanced, the face may appear more defined, lifted, and harmonious.
A Natural Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
The TCM Facial Sculpt & Lift brings together the wisdom of Chinese Medicine and modern hands-on facial care. Instead of relying on machines or injections, the treatment uses skilled manual techniques, facial acupressure, gua sha, and botanical skincare to support a relaxed, refreshed, and naturally rejuvenated appearance.
The result: a deeply relaxing facial experience with a refreshed complexion and a naturally more defined, lifted-looking appearance.
