Maderotherapy - Body Sculpting Massage.

Available in East Brent and Weston-s-Mare.

Maderotherapy uses purposefully shaped wooden tools to manipulate targeted areas of muscle, fat and cellulite, stimulating the lymphatic drainage system to rid the body of stored toxins. Our trained therapist Dominika provides this specialist massage.

It is a 100% natural non-invasive technique from Columbia. Wood therapy is a massage treatment that helps sculpt the body and removes cellulite.

Maderotherapy is different than the fat reduction in that it targets both the deepest layers and surface level of cellulite tissue. This therapy is also effective for reducing fluid retention, draining the affected areas, resulting in the reduction of pain associated with fluid retention, while also improving its appearance. Maderotherapy offers a wide range of beauty benefits, including:

Cellulite Reduction.
Maderotherapy’s unique wooden tools work to break down fat deposits and improve the appearance of cellulite, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
Skin Tightening.
The therapy stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten and tone the skin.
Lymphatic Drainage.
By encouraging lymphatic circulation, Maderotherapy aids in the removal of toxins and reduces fluid retention.
Improved Blood Circulation.
Enhanced circulation means healthier, more radiant skin.
Relaxation and Stress Relief.
The treatment’s relaxing massage elements provide a sense of well-being, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both beauty and relaxation. The end result will be a fitter body, firm and tighter body and skin. And of course, a more relaxed, stress free you!

Kobido Up with Transbuccal Massage

Available in Weston-s-Mare and East Brent.

Kobido Up is a traditional Japanese facial massage, often referred to as “the ancient art of facial lifting.” This technique involves precise, rhythmic hand movements - gentle kneading, tapping, and lifting of the facial muscles - to improve circulation, stimulate collagen production, and firm the skin.

Transbuccal massage, performed “through the cheeks”, accesses deeper facial muscles via the inside of the mouth, which are otherwise difficult to reach externally. Combining both methods provides a comprehensive facial lift, enhances muscle tone, and sculpts the contours of the face and jawline naturally.

Indications (When suitable):

Loss of facial muscle tone and sagging skin.
Early signs of ageing, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Facial puffiness or lymphatic congestion.
Desire for a natural lift and improved facial contours.
Stress or tension in facial muscles.

Contraindications (When not suitable):

Active skin infections or inflammations on the face.
Ulcers, open wounds, or recent scars inside the mouth or on the face.
Infectious diseases or fever.
Bleeding disorders or issues with blood clotting.
Severe chronic illnesses or cardiovascular problems - medical consultation is advised before treatment.

Expected Benefits:

Natural lifting and firming of facial muscles.
Improved facial contours and jawline definition.
Reduced puffiness and enhanced lymphatic drainage.
Radiant, healthy, and more resilient skin.
