Rosalena FaceFit® TREATMENT
The Rosalena FaceFit Experience: a facial that’s more than skin deep! Sculpt, Lift & Tone your face with a facial like no other! FaceFit® was created by Elaine Tomkins, Rosalena’s Senior FaceFit Therapist and reCentre’s Senior Massage Therapist.
Elaine has teamed up with Rosalena Face Oils to deliver a therapeutic facial treatment that lifts, brightens and contours – a beautifully relaxing workout for your face! Elaine’s expert techniques will leave you feeling extraordinary, as she works prescriptively to address your facial needs, focusing on the areas of tension that contribute to a dull and tired complexion. Techniques range from gently boosting circulation to the micro-contouring deeper massage where the lifting and sculpting effect of the tissues comes into play, transforming the underlying structure and the appearance of your face. The deep feeling of relaxation experienced during this customised treatment is amazing as specific acupressure points are activated and tension is magically dissolved with traditional Chinese Gua Sha facial tools.
Smoothing, lifting and lymph drainage techniques are used to stimulate circulation and improve the tone of the facial musculature whilst delivering stillness – a chance for inner calm, before the finale – the famous Rosalena glow!

The Gua Sha and Acupressure facial
Gua Sha (aka scraping device) and acupressure therapy have been traditionally used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. This ancient art believes that the key to good skin health lies within the balance of the vital life force (QI) and as this facial is so stimulating, you will certainly experience your facial QI!
Gua Sha or scraping tools are gently applied to the skin with specific techniques, resulting in a smooth, contoured appearance, a deeply relaxing and enjoyable experience. In addition to facial acupressure-massage, combining Gua Sha with the cooling effect of Jade and marble stones will help decrease any puffiness, aid lymphatic drainage and may help to reduce the symptoms of headaches, sinus pain and general tension in the face.

Cool Sculpting Facial Rejuvenation
Cool Sculpting Facial Rejuvenation is an innovative and dynamic treatment combining classic facial massage with exquisitely chilled applications of iced rose quartz, Indian marble and Chinese jade facial stones. This highly personalised and deeply relaxing treatment also includes releasing deep seated tension in the upper back and neck that always contributes to a dull and lack lustre complexion.
The combination of chilled stones and innovative massage techniques enhance the tone of facial muscles by stimulating circulatory function, closing the pores and tightening the skin. Extremely beneficial for the relief of sinus congestion and puffiness under the eyes, the entire emotionally replenishing experience creates a sense of timeless relaxation leaving you recharged, radiant and energised!

Remedial Facial Therapy for TMJ/TMD
Any disturbance affecting the delicate symphony of the jaw muscles can trigger the cycle characteristic of temporomandibular (jaw) joint dysfunction (TMJD), causing muscle spasm that results in pain, muscle tenderness and tissue damage commonly affecting the jaw, neck, scalp and in many cases, the facial area itself often causing a debilitating cycle of pain that may lead to low mood and depression.
Remedial Facial Therapy offers a range of treatment options to relieve the symptoms associated with TMJD and orofacial pain, often a combination of manual therapy techniques such as Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), clinical massage, postural training, exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the jaw and neck and a home care support programme. If appropriate, external and intra-oral techniques are utilised, depending on your comfort level and requirements.
Often, a dentist or TMJ specialist may suggest Remedial Facial Therapy to help with your symptoms as a complementary approach from the pain and dysfunction that is often associated with
- Tooth grinding/clenching/difficulty chewing
- Facial tension from dental work
- Headaches/sinus pain
- Jaw tension/pain around your jaw, ear and temple
- Facial palsy/Bell’s palsy
- Clicking, popping or grinding noises when your jaw opens
- Pain around your temples
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully or your jaw ‘locking’ on opening
- ‘Tech neck’ due to long periods in front of a screen
- Prolonged stress affecting the face, neck, jaw and scalp
- Feeling ‘tired’ in the facial area
Incorporating regular treatments with simple TMJ massage techniques and good home self-care is your key towards fading the symptoms and feeling liberated.
