Wood Therapy Facial

Wood Therapy Facial, also known as Wood Sculpting Facial or Maderoterapia, is a holistic treatment that utilises specialised wooden tools to stimulate and massage the face, neck, and décolleté areas. These wooden tools are carved from different types of wood, such as rosewood or maple, and are designed to have various shapes and sizes to suit different parts of the face and their specific needs.

One of the main benefits of Wood Therapy Facial is its ability to promote natural detoxification and drainage of excess fluids, which may help reduce puffiness, inflammation, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. The unique shapes of the wooden tools allow for precise targeting of specific areas, such as the jawline, cheeks, and forehead, to help contour and sculpt the face, giving it a more lifted and toned appearance.

The Treatment

The Wood Therapy Facial treatment typically begins with a thorough cleansing and exfoliation of the skin to prepare it for the wood massage. The wooden tools are then skilfully applied in sweeping, tapping, and rolling motions on the skin to stimulate blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, and promote relaxation. The pressure and techniques used can be customised to your preferences and skin condition, ranging from gentle to firmer pressure.

Before and After your Treatment

Here is some guidance on what to do to prepare for your treatment along with what you can expect after the treatment too

Try to avoid eating a large meal at least 1 hour before your treatment. Please also refrain from consuming alcohol or using other substances before any treatment or therapy.
Arrive on time. This insures that you don’t arrive flustered and stressed. It also means that you will get the most out of your treatment. We ask all clients to arrive 10-15 minutes before their treatment is due to begin.
Talk to your therapist. If you are concerned or anxious about anything to do with your treatment let us know. We want to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed.
We ask our clients to ensure they arrive clean and ready for their treatment. If you are coming straight from work or the gym, please let us know and we can arrange for the use of our shower facilities before the treatment. (A surcharge will apply).
All new clients will need to complete a full medical and lifestyle questionnaire before their treatment. All existing clients will need to complete a treatment record card before any subsequent treatments. This is to ensure we can provide you with the best possible care and to comply with our insurance policies.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing and appropriate underwear. For any spa treatments, a robe will be provided for your comfort.

Everyone client has to complete a medical and lifestyle questionaire on their first visit - we ask you to arrive early (approximately 20 minutes) to allow you time to complete this in our relaxation area. On every subsequent visit you will be asked to confirm that none of the details have changed. This is primarily for your protection and to ensure we are aware of any contra-indications before providing tretment. It is also a requirment of our insurers.

Coffee, tea and cola should be avoided as they contain caffeine. Aim to drink two glasses of water after each drink of tea or coffee if not. Or try to drink herbal infusions in place of tea or coffee
Avoid any headache tablets as these too contain caffeine
Avoid eating a heavy meal. Eat a light and natural diet, as refined and processed foods add to the toxicity levels within the body and hinder the natural healing process
Do not smoke or drink alcohol for the next 24 hours. Alcohol and smoking are counter-productive as they increase the levels of toxins in the body.
