Facial rejuvenation, also called Indian face massage, is a natural face-lift through massage. It is a gentle noninvasive approach to looking younger.
Using only the pads of the fingers and mound of flesh at the base of the thumbs, the masseuse lifts and frees the
constrictions of the complex muscles of the face.

Facial rejuvenation restores skin suppleness by toning collagen and elastin fibres, gently allowing the connective tissue to regain its freedom and elasticity.
