Facesculting, maderotherapy, drainage, discover new revolutionary massage techniques that lift, detoxify and illuminate the skin.
It is often on social networks that new treatments and protocols become popular. Incredible “before / after” and rave reviews from influencers, these massages that we are going to present to you are more trendy than ever. Their common point: in addition to a moment of relaxation and disconnection for the mind, they aim to improve the appearance of the skin.
On the program: remove cellulite, smooth wrinkles, lift the oval of the face, deflate the stomach… A real well-being and aesthetic protocol. Be careful, even if the pressure can be adapted by the practitioner at the time of the session, be aware that these tonic massages require a firm and firm touch. So, ready to let yourself be tempted? Benefits, course of the session, price… We tell you everything!
The Face Glow Bar Seasonly x Sephora: the express radiance treatment
“We are used to muscle his body, but we forget to do the same with his face”, notes Céline Perrin, director of Seasonly studios. To regain plumped skin and a radiant complexion, the Seasonly teams have devised an invigorating facial massage with visible results in just 15 minutes. A concept that recently arrived in Sephora stores in France and Europe
What are the benefits? Using techniques that combine kobido and face gym, the facialist works the muscles of the face to sculpt, lift and illuminate. According to your desires, you can focus the massage on your wrinkles, your dark circles, the oval of your face or even the radiance of your complexion. The transformative effect is immediate.
What happens during a session ? With or without an appointment, head to the Sephora Face Glow Bar of your choice. Make yourself comfortable in the reclining chair, then close your eyes and savor these 15 minutes of disconnection. The facialist adapts the pressure of the massage to your feelings, but you should still expect a “facial sport” session that heats up the face. The practitioner will also be required to use “face tools”, small tools that help to drain and lift the features and whose refreshing sensation is very pleasant. Now is the time to see the effects in the mirror: the skin is visibly plumped, smoothed and luminous. You will leave as a bonus with targeted advice from the facialist to reproduce these lifting massages at home.

What price ? 25 € for 15 minutes of massage.
Renata method lymphatic drainage: the reshaping massage
This wellness treatment comes straight from Brazil. Renata França has developed a protocol there to work in depth on the lymphatic system. “This circuit parallel to our blood system is slow and, due to stress or poor diet, it can quickly become saturated.”, explains Amandine Ferreira, practitioner in the Lyon region. However, the consequences of a clogged lymphatic system are not very happy: cellulite, heavy legs, skin problems are at the rendezvous.
What are the benefits? The massage reactivates the lymphatic system, in order to dislodge toxins. It also helps to solve intestinal problems, because a large part of the treatment focuses on the abdomen. If it is better to perform several sessions, from the first massage you will feel lighter and more relaxed. Over the sessions, you will notice an improvement in the quality of the skin, a reduction in cellulite, and a decrease in bloating.
What happens during a session ? The masseuse begins with a small health questionnaire. It ensures that you do not suffer from heart problems, incompatible with lymphatic drainage. She will then begin the massage with fairly tonic movements and rather firm pressure. Is it painful? “It all depends on the people, assures Amandine Ferreira. If you have had water retention for a long time, you may be a little embarrassed in the storage areas such as the top of the knees, the saddlebags and the love handles.”.
Where to get lymphatic drainage? Amandine Ferreira receives in the Lyon region. To find your therapist anywhere in France, meet here.
What price ? count 150 € the massage, with decreasing prices if you take several sessions.
Facesculting or intraoral massage: the lifting treatment
Surprising but terribly effective, this intraoral massage aims to relax and reshape the facial muscles from the inside. The aim is to stimulate the muscles responsible for maintaining the oval of the face and to smooth wrinkles more intensively than during a classic massage.
What are the benefits? This massage through the inside of the mouth can give spectacular results. “The wrinkles around the jaw will be immediately reduced, the oval of the face will be better defined, the tensions of the jaw will disappear”, explains Nathalie Dendura, facialist on the Côte d’Azur. The treatment can also alleviate headaches and migraines.
How is the session going? This one-hour treatment takes place in two stages. First, the practitioner will perform muscle stretching on the surface of the skin for approximately 40 minutes. It warms up the muscles and reactivates blood circulation to plump and lift. She then moves on to intraoral massage: wearing gloves, she plunges her index finger into your mouth to catch the subcutaneous muscles. It thus plumps up the nasolabial fold, the lips and the wrinkles around the mouth. Surprisingly, this intraoral treatment is not painful. On the contrary, a real feeling of release and relaxation is observed after the session.

Maderotherapy: anti-cellulite massage
This massage aims to break cellulite and relax the whole body using wooden instruments of different shapes and sizes. Originally from South America, this global treatment promises rapid and visible results on the appearance of the skin.
What are the benefits? In addition to relaxing and loosening the muscles of the entire body, this intense massage helps firm the skin, fight cellulite, stimulate blood circulation and promote drainage.
How is the session going? After a quick health questionnaire (this massage is not recommended in case of heart problems and hypertension), the practitioner applies a massage oil all over the body to facilitate the movement of the instruments on the body. The choice of tools can vary according to the targeted needs: rollers, cylinders, rakes, suction cups… The sensation may be surprising the first time, but in no case should you feel pain. If so, demand more gentle pressure.
