This month, I decided to focus on Maderotherapy (aka Wood Therapy) and answer all of the questions about the treatment in my article 🙌

Here's the science behind the dimples:

• Connective Tissue: Unlike men's crisscrossing connective tissue fibres, women's connective tissue has a vertical band-like structure. These bands pull down on the skin, while fat cells push up, creating an uneven, bumpy surface.

• Hormonal Influences: Oestrogen plays a role in fat storage and connective tissue formation. Fluctuations in oestrogen levels, like during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, can contribute to cellulite development.

• Genetics: Your genes determine your skin thickness, fat distribution, and connective tissue structure, all of which influence cellulite susceptibility.

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage (belly). I can never get enough of the great results it delivers 🙌

Your lymphatic system is like your body's waste disposal! This belly massage helps move lymph fluid, which carries toxins and waste towards your lymph nodes. Think of it like gently guiding traffic flow! By reducing congestion, bloating and puffiness can improve, leaving you feeling refreshed ❤️

It also helps to release any tension buildup in the muscles and diaphragm❗️Did you know that shallow breathing, which can be impacted by tightness in the diaphragm, can contribute towards the feeling of anxiety⁉️

Apart from the direct symptoms, belly massage will also help you to have a better night sleep due to its ability to promote the sense of deep relaxation 😌

Last weekend, we got to visit a new city (Nottingham) and attended the awards night 🎉🥳

Lovely night surrounded by the industry professionals with so much experience, passion, and love for it 🙏

I was very pleased to have come 3rd in the Non-Surgical Facelift category! 🥉🥉🥉 This came very unexpectedly for me, as I was up against some of the finest advanced aesthetic practitioners❗️🙌 Great to know that holistic therapies are also regarded very highly 🫶

Ready to forge forward!

There are a lot of beautiful, very instagramable massage techniques that you can watch for hours 😍 But do you ask yourself if they really work ⁉️😉

I use a blend of various techniques (buccal, cupping, lifting, chiromassage, etc.) to achieve the best results & I can proudly say - it works ❗️❤️

Book your session now or DM if you would like to discuss the treatment first 🙏

Excellent service means different things to all of us! ✨️

It is impossible to please every single person without losing your own identity and personality, but it's so important to stay unique (we are all unique in our own way)❗️🫶

Often, we don't realise how much tension tends to build up in our jaw until we try facial massage. 🌟

Buccal massage is by far one of the best treatments for those who suffer from tight jaw, headaches, grinding their teeth, and experience TMD ❗️

Gen tried buccal massage for the first time (she used botox injections before to stop from grinding teeth), and this is what she said :

"Aliona was very informative, and the massage was brilliant for relaxing my tense jaw - I’ll definitely be back." - Gen D.

Thanks for your honest feedback 🫶🙏

Buccal massage is available to book in my treatment room at as well as a mobile service 🌟

Why you NEED to try Maderotherapy⁉️

Have you heard of maderotherapy? It's an ancient Colombian technique that uses wooden tools to massage the body and improve circulation, reduce cellulite, and promote relaxation. ✨️

Here are just a few reasons why you should give maderotherapy a try:

✅️Reduces cellulite and improves skin tone: Maderotherapy helps to break down fat deposits and improve lymphatic drainage, which can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite and give your skin a smoother, more toned appearance.

✅️Boosts circulation: The massage techniques used in maderotherapy help to improve blood circulation, which can deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells and help to flush away toxins. This can lead to a brighter, more radiant complexion.

✅️Promotes relaxation and stress relief: The massage movements used in maderotherapy can help to relax your muscles and ease tension headaches. It can also promote feelings of relaxation and well-being

If you're looking for a natural way to improve your circulation, reduce cellulite, and promote relaxation, then maderotherapy is definitely worth trying‼️❤️

Feeling Stressed? Don't ignore it!

Stress is a normal part of life, but when it sticks around, it can wreak havoc on your body. ❌️

Here's how chronic stress can mess you up:

❗️Headaches & Muscle Tension: Ever clench your jaw so tight your head throbs? Stress can cause both!

❗️Sleepless Nights: Tossing and turning? Stress hormones can disrupt your sleep cycle

❗️Skin Breakouts: Stress stimulates the production of hormone cortisol, which "tells" our oil glands to produce more sebum (oil)

❗️Stomach Woes: Feeling butterflies or a grumbling tummy? Stress can mess with digestion.

❗️Weakened Immune System: Feeling under the weather all the time? Stress can make you more susceptible to getting sick.

Chronic stress can also lead to more serious health problems down the line.🆘️

My Anti-Stress aromatherapy massage can help you to feel as relaxed as the client on the picture 📸 😉🫂

An A-List Holistic Treatment Everyone Is Talking About ✨️

I can speak about the benefits of Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage for hours. It's such a popular and effective treatment!
A growing number of cosmetic treatments definitely helped to build awareness about the importance of a well working Lyphatic system for post-op recovery as well as a generally healthy immune system. 👍
However, a lot of people are still confused about what exactly the lymphatic system is/does, what to expect from the treatment, and aftercare advice 🤔
Hopefully, this month's article published in collaboration with can answer a few of your questions! 🙏

If not, please simply DM for any further information 😉

🇬🇧

I often get asked what is better, manual blackhead extraction or machine ⁉️

A lot of modern devices promise to get rid even of the most stubborn blackheads 😚 No offence to any of them, but this is simply impossible 🤫 In order for machines to compete with the manual extraction technique, the level of suction has to be so great, it would definitely leave the skin with bruises and broken capillaries ❌️

Machines might seem like an easy fix, but a professional manual extraction can be your secret weapon for clearer skin! ✨

The differenceand and benefits are:

✅️Deeper Clean: Forget surface-level solutions! A skilled esthetician can tackle even the deepest blackheads, leaving your pores truly squeaky clean.

✅️Precise Targeting: Unlike machines that might irritate surrounding skin, manual extraction focuses on each blackhead individually, minimizing redness and discomfort.

✅️ Expert Touch: Professionals are trained in proper hygiene and technique, reducing the risk of scarring and infection you might face with at-home machines.

Find a reputable esthetician and experience the power of manual extraction! ✨

It is impossible to achieve the long lasting results without any steps of maintenance 👌

So what should you do at home to prolong the effect of Lyphatic Drainage Massage:

1. Practice diaphragmatic breathing. Correct, deep breathing with diaphragm (and nit chest) will support lymphatic flow in the abdominal area. 🫁

2. Try dry brushing! I'm sure you heard of it before, but it seems to be long forgotten? Not at all! Gentle dry brushing with a quality brush will help to stimulate Lyphatic flow and even improve the texture of your skin (by removing the dead skin cells). 👍

3. Intermittent fasting for a few days following the treatment will help to remove the maximum amount of toxins and some fats. Try not to overload the Lyphatic system after the massage, it will promote the flow. 🥑🥬🍍

If you have any questions regarding the above or want some further advice, please reach out 🙏
