What is a Sculptural Lifting Facial

Updated: Sep 17

and why I need one, and you do too!


I discovered the Sculptural Face Lift when I met Lori Satter, a well-studied Holistic Esthetician and Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coach at MISSION Day Spa. She explained to me the secret of this method works so well. Focused energy and attention on specific movements of deeper muscles release muscle tension and emotional blockages, transforming the person's inner state and physical appearance. This is completely without the use of machines, strictly her hands. The treatment takes roughly an hour to 75 minutes. For lasting results, is recommended in a series. Just like "exercising" in a gym, results that last are lasting because of repetition. This all makes sense to me. Being a sensitive person to practically anything foreign that touches my skin, including a whiff of artificial anything (i.e. walking down the detergent aisle) a rash ensues. I am fully on board.


Sculptural face lifting (SFL) is a non-surgical facial massage technique that combines lymphatic drainage, muscle stimulation, and massage to lift and relax facial muscles and tissues. It's also known as buccal massage or Japanese facial massage. "SCULPTURAL FACE LIFTING BOOSTS THE INTERNAL RESOURCES OF THE BODY FOR NATURAL REJUVENATION AND RECOVERY"


SFL can help with: 

  • Skin texture: Improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles 

  • Sagging skin: Firming sagging skin and reducing deep folds and double chin 

  • Facial contour: Increasing facial contour and lifting drooping corners of lips 

  • Circulation: Improving microcirculation and collagen production 

  • Tension: Relieving tension in the fascia and mimicking muscles 

  • Tissue health: Enhancing tissue health in the face and neck 

  • Appearance: Improving the oval of the face, toning the epidermis, and increasing elasticity 


RELAXATION:

SFL can also have physical and emotional benefits, such as leaving you feeling refreshed and energized. It's an alternative to facelifts that doesn't involve needles, botox, or fillers.


There are some contraindications of course such as facial sculpting massage may not be suitable for some people, including those with certain skin conditions, diseases, or other conditions: 

  • Skin conditions

    Active acne, rosacea, open wounds, sores, boils, rashes, fungal infections, or styles

  • Recent treatments

  • Other considerations

    If you have a health condition that might be affected by facial massage, you should consult a professional. And be sure, that when you schedule, you fill out the full intake form.

About Lori Satter, LE

Hi. I’m Lori, a licensed esthetician who specializes in non-invasive, holistic skin therapy treatments. I empower people to improve the quality and appearance of their skin through joyously inspired hand-crafted skin care treatments, apothecary products, and education.

While struggling with my own skin issues for many years, I was motivated to find a more natural, safe, and holistic approach to skin health and beauty. My journey led me to the wisdom of Ayurveda, Oriental and Western herbalism.

I am a conduit for the healing power of the plants, merging the body’s ability to heal and release, creating a luscious, nurtured, and more beautiful you. My approach to skin health is a guiding light for others on this pilgrimage of self-discovery and empowerment!
