Pre/Post-Natal Massage

Pre and postnatal massage are increasingly recognized as crucial components of a healthy pregnancy and postpartum period. Prenatal massage offers numerous benefits, including reducing stress, promoting relaxation and better sleep, relieving muscle tension and reducing pregnancy-related pain, and improving blood circulation, which contributes to healthier fetal development and maternal health.

In addition to the physical benefits, prenatal massage has been shown to reduce the risk of developing postpartum depression and anxiety. Researchers have found that regular prenatal massage can help promote the release of hormones that regulate mood, such as serotonin and dopamine.

Postnatal massage is also critical for both physical and emotional recovery following childbirth. It helps alleviate pain and discomfort, reduce inflammation and improve range of motion, particularly in the hips and pelvic area. It can also help new mothers adjust to their changing bodies and alleviate the stress and tension that often accompanies caring for a newborn.

Importantly, postnatal massage can help promote lactation and improve milk production. Research has shown that massage therapy can stimulate the production of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production, and oxytocin, which promotes milk release.

Overall, pre and postnatal massage is a safe and effective way to promote maternal health, reduce stress, and facilitate the physical and emotional recovery following childbirth. It is an excellent complement to traditional medical care and should be considered an essential aspect of prenatal and postnatal care. Be sure to make La LUX Spa a part of your maternity care.

Facial Massage; The Best Anti-Aging Treatment.

Let’s start by defining these words “ Massage” and “Facial”

Massage- is the rubbing and kneading of muscles with the hands to relieve tension or pain. Facial- a beauty treatment for the face; of or affecting the face.

When these two words are combined together as an overall spa treatment you get one of the best anti-aging treatments available. Facial massages involve manipulating the facial muscles, stimulating pressure points, and applying specific techniques with the intention of improving the texture and appearance of the skin. With regular massage sessions, the facial skin looks healthier, toned and youthful.

BYE BYE BOTOX.

One of the major benefits of facial massage is that it helps to boost collagen production. Collagen is a protein found in our skin that provides structure, elasticity, and youthfulness. As we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen which can lead to wrinkles and signs of aging. Facial massage increases collagen production by stimulating certain areas on the face - resulting in improved tone and firmness.

Facial massage also helps to improve circulation throughout the face which as stated before boosts collagen production and promotes healthy cell regeneration. Since this process encourages new cells to replace old ones - dead or damaged cells are shed away allowing for a brighter complexion. Furthermore, this improved circulation can help unclog pores reducing breakouts and providing a smoother complexion overall.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

TMJ is a chronic jaw injury due to grinding or clenching of the teeth or other trauma of the jaw. Suffering from this dysfunction can often lead to terrible headaches and facial aches. Constant facial massages helps ease the discomforts associated with TMJ.  Other benefits include draining toxins from the lymph nodes that have built up due to stress, or sinus congestion helping to reduce puffiness around the eyes (such as dark circles)

Youthful Skin Awaits!

The benefits of facial massage can go on and on, improving mental well-being through relaxation, calming inflammation caused by environmental aggressors like pollution or sun exposure; as well as providing a natural glow due to increased blood flow delivering essential nutrients into your skin cells aiding in hydration levels being maintained for longer periods of time.
