Today I had one of Fusion Therapy's 24-carat Gold Leaf Facial. And in this blog I am going to explain how Nick Parmar incorporates a blend of Gua sha, Cupping therapy, Acupressure, Qi Gong, Acupunture and Gold leaf into an amazing facial. Following on this blog will also be included my thoughts during and after the treatment.
Gua sha is a instrument-assisted traditional Chinese medical treatment. During this treatment Nick press-stroked the skin to release unhealthy elements from any injured areas of my body and to stimulate my blood flow and healing. Gua sha is known to produce an anti-inflammatory effect and a protection for your immune system that continues for several days following just one treatment. It is often used for treating pain, stiffness, fever, chills, coughs, nausea and vomiting, and can also be very effective in treating acute and chronic internal organ disorders.
Cupping therapy is an alternative medicine. During this therapy Nick placed cups on my skin to create suction, which in turn increased my blood flow. This treatment can be done to promote the healing of a broad range of medical disorders.
For thousands of years the Chinese have used acupressure points as a treatment to enhance muscle tone and increase circulation. The facial acupressure points specifically improve skin condition, as well as the tone of facial muscles and connective tissue. This can decrease the appearance of wrinkles, without drugs or surgery. In our hectic lives we often pull and stretch our skin; the connective tissue becomes weak, and the skin becomes loose. Simple finger pressure on the appearance points, as well as therapeutic facial exercises relieve congested areas and relax the muscles. Toxins are then released and eliminated, which of course benefits skin appearance.
The gentle rhythmic movements involved in Qigong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality, and enhance the immune system. It has also been known to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions. If a consistent practice of Qigong was maintained it can be seen to help one regain a youthful vitality, maintain good health even into old age and helps speed recovery from illness.
Western medical acupuncture is known to stimulate nerves under the skin and in muscle tissue. Traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that an energy flows through the body in channels called meridians. This life force is known as Qi. However many therapists who adhere to traditional beliefs about acupuncture believe that when Qi does not flow freely through the body, this can cause illness. They believe acupuncture can restore the flow of Qi, and so restore good health.
A Gold leaf facial is a facial treatment conducted by Nick Parmar at Fusion Therapy. It includes the application of 24-carat gold leaves which are known to help the skin during the process of cell renewal. This brings about a significant reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. The gold leaf has anti-aging properties and makes the skin look youthful, as well as helping in the elimination of toxins and combating damages made by the sun. It is also known to provide the skin with oxygen and reduces tired appearances. It brightens up the skin so your face no longer looks dull; blemishes and acne can be prevented with its anti-bacterial properties. The gold leaf ensures that skin elasticity is maintained, and can also improve the blood circulation.
The main aim of placing gold on the face is to hydrate, firm and moisturise the skin. This is done to reduce fine lines and resulting in more smooth and radiant skin. The facial naturally rejuvenates the skin and reduce wrinkles. Keeping the skin firm, this is done by maintaining collagen in the skin and inhibiting the breakdown of elastin. Who needs Botox when you can have the same results from a more natural therapy.
To conclude, my overall experience of the 24-carat Gold leaf facial was fantastic. Nick Parmar runs a mobile company which meant I could enjoy the luxurious facial from the comfort of my own home. It also meant that once the facial was over I didn't have to get up and enter back into the stress of everyday life so suddenly. My face now looks and feels great, and I truly believe that this is because of this amazing gold leaf facial. I have also noticed that the blemishes on my skin have reduced. In myself I feel so relaxed and so much more confident, and that's all thanks to Nick and his blend of Gua sha, Cupping therapy, Acupressure, Qi Gong, Acupunture and Gold leaf. I had such a fabulous experience I decided to write this blog and share my experience with you.
I guess I've covered just about everything. The only question that remains is how soon will you be enjoying a 24-carat gold facial by Nick Parmar? read more
