Offerings
Paulina offers range of holistic modalities that are clinically proven to bring about real and lasting changes in the skin, while improving the overall health of the integument.
Gua Sha Face Massage
The Gua Sha facial experience focuses on lifting, rejuvenating, relaxing, any tension and inducing the skin’s natural glow. Specific traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques are used to restore and relax tension from strained muscles, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, firm up the skin, and uplift the senses. Gua Sha balances, enhances, and revitalizes your skin’s health and radiance, reducing the signs of premature aging; specifically the appearance of wrinkles, dark eye circles, puffy eyes, and sagging and dull skin.
cupping
Cupping Therapy is a non-invasive and painless technique that has been used as holistic traditional medicine across civilizations for thousands of years. During the massage, a technique using a simple application of vigorous, quick, rhythmical strokes stimulates the muscles, moving stagnant lymphatic fluid and blood, removing toxins and replenishing the same area with nutrients and fully oxygenated blood.
Benefits:
Improves blood circulation
Drains stagnant fluid and reduces inflammation
Lifts sagging face muscles (cheeks, jowl)
Relaxes tension in facial muscles
Plumps wrinkles and facial lines
Evens complexion and coloring
Increases production of healthy collagen and elastin
Reduces headaches and migraines

Relaxes symptoms of TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint dysfunction)
Buccal Face Lift
Buccal Massage is a specific technique that targets the lips, lower face, cheeks, and jaw area. It’s a unique preventative and corrective technique, as it blends facial sculpting massage with an intra-oral massage (performed inside the mouth). This allows access to muscles that are not normally addressed, making it an effective treatment for sculpting, relaxing, and improving lower facial tone.

Relax tight muscles of the jaw
Tone and sculpt the face

Light therapy
LED Light Therapy is painless skin-care treatment that uses light emitting diodes (LED’s) to restore the skins normal and healthy activity. The energy delivered by the LED light enhances cellular metabolism and accelerates healing by stimulating the body to build new collagen, increasing circulation, and improving lymphatic function. The result is healthier, younger-looking skin. There is continued and gradual improvement with each subsequent treatment. With a series of 3-6 treatments, your skin will appear smoother, tighter, and more radiant.
How does it work?
The Red Light stimulates the fibroblasts that produce collagen, which gives young skin its plump look. It can also minimize fine lines and wrinkles, repair sun damage, and fade age spots.
The Blue Light is used to treat mild to moderate acne by killing the bacteria responsible for breakouts. It also reduces sebum production and minimizes pores.
Is LED for everyone?
While almost everyone can benefit from the use of light therapy, these treatments will have the greatest impact on skin with sluggish metabolism and slow cellular activity showing visible signs of aging. Contraindications for light therapy include pregnancy, epilepsy, photo allergy, and medication’s that cause light sensitivity (such as Tetracycline), and if you’re currently taking steroids or cortisone injections.
Aesthetic Kinesiotaping
Is an increasingly popular therapeutic method which uses the bodies natural self healing processes. It consists of applying kinesiotape, which has a structure similar to human skin, to specific areas of the body and face. Kinesiotaping is well known and widely used by physiotherapists during rehabilitation for joint and muscle injuries.
In the skincare industry, we use kinesiotape for face wrapping, which stimulates the lymphatic system, eliminates furrows and wrinkles, improves skin elasticity and tension, and strengthens the facial muscles. This method is great to improve the appearance of the skin and prolong its youthful and fresh appearance. Aesthetic Kinesiotaping is recommended in combination with the facelift massage. This combination is particularly effective to relax tense muscles and relieve the face from the stresses of everyday life by rejuvenating and restoring the skin’s natural tension.
Kinesiotaping is a safe method and tapes are hypoallergenic. It is if open wounds are present, if the skin is experiencing an allergic reaction, or if the skin has recently been treated with the use of electrolysis or laser hair removal. After the treatment, tapes must remain in place for 3 to 7 hours, depending on the skin’s condition and the effect we want to achieve.
Dien Chan zone
Dien Chan Zone is a facial reflexology technique that has been adapted from its roots in Vietnam and westernized in Italy. It is a message sent from the outside of the body to the inside. As we gently stimulate specific areas or zones on the face, we are deliberately interacting with the nervous system and directing the immune system to where it is needed. Dien Chan is a conversation between body and mind, strengthening immunity and supporting balance.
The body is nourished by the vital life force, and along that life force is a constant flow of energy. If that energy becomes blocked the body signals us by means of pain or discomfort. It is important to restore the correct flow of energy to the body to balance our health and well-being.
There are also beautifying benefits of facial reflexology that come from improved circulation, muscle function and tone, as well as fine line reduction.
Facemodeling
Facemodeling is much more than a massage.
In this therapy we are working on deep physical and emotional release. Facemodeling therapy perceives the body, mind, soul as a whole, therefore it is a multidimensional combination of different techniques to take care of health in a holistic way.
Facemodeling massage, also known as myoplastic face massage, is a natural, manual facial therapy aimed at rejuvenating, revitalizing, and sculpting face, neck and chest through techniques like fascia release, osteoplasty, accupressure, buccal, cupping and kinesio taping.
It is a holistic, multidimensional method.
