Fitness for your Face
When your body gets flabby, you exercise and diet. Some of us may even turn to invasive surgeries such as tummy tucks and liposuction. So why do we so readily turn to Botox and plastic surgery in order to firm and tighten the face without exploring less-invasive options? How about a little fitness for your face? It is actually possible to exercise your facial muscles, just like you would your body. A facial contouring massage is the perfect alternative to a facelift as it deeply penetrates your 55 facial muscles, helping to improve circulation, reducing stress and, yes, tighten, tone and lift your face. Arcona Studio in Los Angeles offers Facial Contouring treatments to tons of celebrity clients like Madonna, Diane Lane, and Sarah Jessica Parker, in lieu of plastic surgery. Like exercise for your body, this treatment does not promise overnight results. It is a cumulative process of toning and tightening the muscles in the face until they are so strong that they defy gravity. www.Arcona.com
