Experience the dual benefits of muscle relaxation and a GW Japanese Facial in one session! Our GW Japanese Facial is not just about delivering exceptional massaging, sculpting, and face lifting techniques, but it’s also about alleviating the discomfort and pain of tight, painful jaw muscles.

​

A significant number of our clients suffer from tense, inflamed masseter jaw muscles, often caused by unconscious jaw clenching. This can lead to a host of issues including headaches, jaw pain, neck and shoulder discomfort. It can make everyday activities like eating, talking and smiling a painful ordeal.

​

Some clients are also teeth grinders, a condition known as bruxism, which can cause further damage to the teeth. Stress is often the root cause, and recognizing the problem is the first step towards resolution. However, many people are unaware of their clenching and grinding habits, especially when they occur during sleep.

​

During the GW Japanese Facial, we begin with gentle manipulation and massage of all the tight muscles, providing an incredibly relaxing and liberating experience. We apply Facial Acupressure points to the face to further release tight muscles, offering a soothing and relaxing sensation. We also focus on the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), which can become stressed and painful under tension.

​

As we employ various Japanese massaging techniques and face lifting techniques, clients will experience a profound sense of relaxation as their tight, locked-up muscles release, promoting relaxation in both mind and body.

​

Facial Reflexology techniques further aid in the release and relaxation process. The entire GW Japanese Facial is not only therapeutic but also blissfully de-stressing and energizing. The relief from unlocking tight, painful muscles results in a looser jaw, a sense of release and lightness in the face and neck, and the ability to speak and open your mouth without pain.

​

Upon looking in the mirror, clients will immediately notice a slimmer, more sculpted facial appearance. The bulky, inflamed masseter muscles will no longer have a square, masculine appearance, but will appear much slimmer and smoother. The release of trapped fluid around the jawline also improves the appearance by reducing puffiness.

​

The jowl and neck area will also show noticeable improvement, with less sagging of the jowls. When the masseter muscles become inflamed and tight, they pull down other muscles, leading to a sagging, drooping appearance. It’s also crucial to massage the broad platysma muscle that spans from the lower chin, down the neck, and across the decolletage, as this muscle also becomes tight and tense.

​

The increased circulation and lymphatic flow will result in toxin release and a healthier look and feel to the face and muscles. Experience the transformation today with our GW Japanese Facial!
