Shinzu facial massage, also known as Kansa facial massage, is an ancient practice with its origins in traditional Indian medicine, particularly Ayurveda. This massage is performed using a bronze wand called Kansa, pronounced like "Kaahn-sah", which is reputed to be the healing metal of India.
Shinzu massage promotes blood and lymph circulation in the facial area, which can help oxygenate skin tissue and eliminate toxins by stimulating the lymphatic system.
By massaging your face with the Kansa wand, the therapist tones your facial muscles, which can contribute to a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Shinzu massage can help release accumulated tension in facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by stress and fatigue.
According to Ayurvedic tradition, the Kansa wand is believed to balance the body's energies, helping to restore harmony and bring an overall sense of well-being.
Shinzu massage can provide a sensation of deep relaxation, helping to relieve stress and promote a state of inner calm.
Shinzu facial massage with the Kansa wand is performed on a clean, make-up-free face.
The therapist uses a small amount of oil to facilitate the movements.
It begins to gently massage your face with slow, circular movements. She starts at the center of the face and moves outwards, covering all areas of the forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. She applies light pressure with the Kansa wand to certain areas of tension. Precise "trigger points" are specifically activated during this treatment, reflex points on the face that release tension and memories.
Kansa wands often have different tips, each offering a unique massage sensation.
Massage duration : A complete Shinzu facial (skull, face, neck) lasts 60 minutes. This treatment can be combined with a back, relaxing and/or therapeutic massage.
