Acupressure is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is based on a complex approach of the human body, where all levels are intertwined: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. According to Eastern tradition, the vital force of life, called the Qi, flows in all living beings. This vital energy is always moving, and it circulates in the body along a net of subtle paths: the meridians. The meridians link the physical sphere (they go through our organs) to our emotions and psyche. They are the key to a balanced and healthy state.

At some specific spots on the path, the Qi gets near the skin and is thus physically accessible. Those key spots are the famous acupuncture points, or acupoints. To work on the acupoints, acupuncture uses needles, and acupressure uses gentle to firm finger pressure.

Many meridians run across the face, neck and skull. By massaging the points linked to the Qi, acupressure accesses the deeper levels and works on the general well-being, which in turn reflects on the face (everybody has noticed how a person in love looks radiant no matter what!).

And of course, as a finger pressure technique, the Acupressure Face Lift also acts on the physical level as a facial massage to tone muscles and unblock fluids in congested areas.
