Express Massage Facial

Short on time but holding a lot of tension? The Express Massage Facial is a condensed, high-intensity version of our signature sculpting treatment. We strip away the fluff (masks and steams) and focus 100% on the muscle. Using rapid, rhythmic movements and lymphatic drainage techniques, we manually lift the facial contours, drain stagnant fluid, and release jaw tension. It is the perfect quick fix before a meeting, a date, or whenever you feel “puffy.”

The Healing Process

Post Treatment

  • Hydrate: Lymphatic systems rely on water to flush out toxins. Drink up before you come in.

  • Injectables: If you have had Botox or Filler, you must wait 2 weeks before booking this. We cannot manipulate the tissue while injectables are settling.

  • Men: Shave the morning of (or night before) to ensure a smooth glide for the massage.

  • The Cleanse: A quick double cleanse to remove surface oil and makeup.

  • The Workout: The majority of the session is dedicated to deep tissue facial massage, focusing on the jawline, cheekbones, and brow.

  • The Drain: We use specific strokes to push lymph fluid down the neck, instantly reducing puffiness.

  • The Finish: A lightweight moisturizer and SPF so you can run out the door.

  • Snatched: You will notice an immediate definition in your cheekbones and jawline.

  • Awake: Your eyes will look more open and less heavy.

  • Glow: Increased blood circulation brings a natural flush and brightness to the skin.

  • Drink Water: We moved a lot of fluid; now you need to flush it out of your system.

  • No Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to prevent immediate re-puffing.

  • Go Out: This is the ultimate “pre-game” facial. You are ready to be seen immediately.

FAQ

The full 60-minute version includes more relaxation elements, neck/shoulder work, and often buccal (internal) techniques or tools. The Express is strictly a 30-minute “gym session” for your face muscles—fast, effective, and focused.

No. To maximize the massage time, we skip the masking step in the Express version.

Yes, but we recommend keeping it light to let your skin breathe.

This treatment is not designed for acne (no extractions or chemical exfoliation). In fact, we avoid deep massage over active cystic acne to prevent spreading bacteria.

It’s a “good hurt,” like a deep tissue massage on your back. If you grind your teeth, you might feel some tenderness in the jaw muscles as we release the knots.

We generally don’t recommend combining chemical peels with deep massage in the same short session, as it can be too much stimulation. If you want both, book a Custom Facial.
