Manual technique
A method by hand. The hands of the therapist are the whole instrument.
The method
Sculptural Face Lifting, by hand
An author's method of natural facial rejuvenation. The therapist works with the mimic and chewing muscles, from the outside and from inside the mouth, and the face returns to its own shape.
Four principles
Hands only. Nothing else.
Mimic muscles
Work from the outside and from inside the mouth, where the deep muscles are reached.
Lasting effect
The result is muscle tone, not a filled volume, so the face keeps its own features.
Therapeutic release
The state of calm that turns a sequence of movements into a treatment.
How it works
Two techniques that work together
- The sculptural techniqueDeep work on the outer mimic muscles. Tension is released, tone returns, and the contours of the face are drawn again.
- The intraoral techniqueWork from inside the mouth on the chewing muscles and the lower third of the face, the part that changes the most.
- Therapeutic Emotional ReleaseThe client rests in a deep state of calm. The body lets go of the tension the face has been holding.
