SKIN DEEPJAPANESE COSMOLIFTING – A NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT – IS ANON-INVASIVE APPROACH TO LOOKING YOUNGER WRITES ANNA WARWICK
NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES,NO WAFTY MUSIC, NO STEAM,NO CREAM, NO NEEDLES,NO KNIVES. WOW. I LOOK 27!
Jill Freestone’s Bridgepointwaiting room is packed. Hertreatment room is small butbright and covered in colourfuldiagrams of the foot, ear, andface. She is a former TV execturned reflexologist (she studiedat Nature Care College 10 yearsago) and now Jill has a fabulousnew technique in her skill set.
While facial massage andacupressure in particular isgaining popularity as a way to tonefacial muscles, there are differenttechniques. Some therapists havetaken a beauty approach whileothers, like Jill, are more healthorientated.
‘‘I gained my first Diploma ofFacial Reflexology with Spanishbased, internationally renownedreflexologist Lone Sorensenseveral years ago, and thisFebruary I studied the JapaneseCosmolifting technique withSorensen,’’ Jill explains.
‘‘Japanese Cosmoliftingstimulates 21 acupuncture pointsthrough the facial tissue.’’
‘‘It also tones the muscles of theface to help minimise fine lines’’.
The real kicker of thetechnique is lymphatic drainage.Jill shows me photos of a womanwhose face is puffy and tired andher chin invisible. After atreatment, the woman looks
clearer, her skin is firmer andtighter and her jawline apparent.
Jill sits me down in a foldoutbed and makes me comfortable.All she will be using on my skin isorganic rosehip oil. The massageis lovely, and while I strain tofocus on the points Jill releases onmy forehead, I am soon in la-laland. At times it feels like she isunlocking the muscles of my chin.I don’t even realise they are tenseuntil, after a few moments ofpressure, they go slack. How longhave they been like that?
As Jill continues to work herway around my face, there aremoments when I feel the energyrelease all the way down theconnective nerves in my body tothe soles of my feet.
The purpose of this massagetechnique is not just to relievefacial tension and fluids but toease tension in the body via themeridians identified in Chinesemedicine. I am in a massagetrance until I feel a cool, smooth
pressure on my brow and cheeks.Is Jill rubbing in a cream? I didn’trealise my skin was so hot until thewarmth was eased. Another ball ofdeliciously cool pressure meetsmy skin and rolls all remainingtension away
When Jill finishes, I am utterlyrelaxed. She shows me the jadeand marble rollers she used, andthe oils. No electronic devices, nowafty music, no steam, no cream,no needles no knives no mirrors!
‘‘You look much clearer’’ isall she says. She shows mereflexology maps of the face.The chin represents the stomach,while under the eyes is the kidneyarea. It’s fascinating.
I rush to the bathroom. Wow,I look 27! Well I look very, veryrelaxed and smooth-skinned.My eyes are bright and anypouchiness (the dreaded doublechin) is gone. This is a wonderfultreatment that I cannotrecommend more highly. Overtime the effects are dramatic.
