“With age, we tend to use our muscles less frequently, causing the skin to lose its tone and contours to slacken,” says Michelle Casey who founded Aqua salon in 1999.
Michelle is a firm believer in facial muscle stimulation as a means of lifting facial features and I see visible results after just three Aqua Personalised Lifting Facials. Michelle combines kabido and buccal lifting with lymphatic drainage, getting deep into the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the face, neck and shoulders. It’s relaxing yet invigorating. Cleansing, exfoliation, hydrating, masks, even a hot towel head compress and a relaxing foot massage, all with Guinot products, make skin feel absolutely wonderful. As cell turnover continues and collagen production is boosted, the benefits are visible days after.
