Facials

Skin facials have come a long way from incorporating basic household ingredients to chemical peels and have now become a go-to indulgence. Visiting a local salon for monthly grooming sessions has become common in many Indian households. We use Chinese Acupuncture and Dry Needling techniques to help improve Collagen formation under the Facial skin. Lymphatic drainage techniques are then used to drain Lymph fluid from the face into surrounding lymph nodes. Every Facial technique differs based on the client’s skin condition: ranging from Normal Skin, Dry Skin, Oily skin (Acne-prone), Combination skin, Aging (mature) skin.

What is a Facial?

Facials are skincare treatment procedures for the face that involve steam, exfoliation, creams, lotions, facial masks, peels, and massages. They cleanse the skin deeply and help fight certain skin problems such as dryness and mild acne. Overall, facials promote new skin renewal and give your skin the tender loving care it needs.

Difference between Salon and Clinic Spa-

While both tend to be professionally handled, Facials at a Clinic are usually deemed medically more trustworthy. The professional performing your procedure will have advanced knowledge about skin and hence, will be able to identify any symptoms or disorders that a spa or salon may not be able to ascertain. Besides facial at a clinic is focused towards treating skin issues versus a spa, which is designed for relaxation.

Mistakes you are making after a Facial–

Wearing heavy makeup
Over-exfoliating your skin
Over-exposing yourself to the sun
Not wearing enough sunscreen
Applying products with strong active ingredients
Picking at the acne/pores on your skin
Sweating it out at the gym

Male Factor-

Vanity and good health are genderless—taking care of your skin is a requirement and goes beyond being male or female. Testosterone in men causes an increase in their facial skin thickness, which accounts for why male skin is about 25 per cent thicker than women’s skin. Men’s skin also tends to secrete more oil and therefore, a deeper cleanse is often preferrable. A visit to a Spa is equally beneficial for Men.

Myths and Facts about a Facial-

MYTH

Facials are only for relaxation
They help eliminate all wrinkles
Recommended only once a year
They are pretty painful
They fix all skin problems

FACT

They work towards rejuvenating the skin
By themselves, facials cannot eliminate dynamic lines or wrinkles
Facials offer the most benefits if done every 4-6 weeks
Thanks to new technology, facials are painless
Facials are a preventive measure but won’t fix all skin problems

Customized Massage Therapy (4 hand massage)

Everybody is unique, every ‘body’ is unique. To assume that Parlor style massages with set formats/techniques will suit all of us, is prepostenous. We therefore Customise our massages to suit each and every client. No two clients have the same Massage experience. All of the techniques used within every Massage session differ for all clients, based on their pre-massage evaluation.

A proper assessment of each patient is done prior to the massage to understand underlying issues of back pain, neck pain, knee pain, current injuries, current medical history, past surgeries done, and medications taken by the client – so that we know how to better navigate with each body.

The massage session contains 12-14 different skilled techniques ranging from

Deep tissue myofascial releases
Periosteal releases
Scalp releases
Reflexology
Chinese Acupuncture
Visceral Mobilization
Ear Acupuncture, etc.

This is a 4 hand Massage technique performed for 2 hours by a Physiotherapist and a trained masseuse, who will guide you through this process.

Please note that this massage is painful, but it loosens up bodily tissues afterward.

To know if you are a candidate for this 4 hand Massage technique, kindly connect with us at 9136634555 OR 9136634466 OR e-mail us at info.dpinto@gmail.com

Skin Collagen Therapy for Face – Face Exercise / Facial Gym ©

Acupuncture helps improve and reverse fine lines/ acne scars on the face while also helping to improve collagen formation under the skin.

Muscles on your body are attached to Fascia, while Muscles on your Face are attached to the Skin. Skin sagging and fine lines on the face are therefore a result of weak muscles or excessive muscle use. Your Facial muscles attached to the facial skin therefore give structure to your face. This is the reason why Botox is given to relax your facial muscles in order to improve fine lines and enhance facial structure.

Chest Therapy for Chronic Colds and Coughs

Patients who have recurrent colds OR long standing bouts of Viral/Bacterial infectious colds OR seasonal colds benefit a lot from Physiotherapy to the Chest.

Moxa Therapy to the Chest has proven to benefit the Cough reflex and contribute to the expectoration of sputum.

Patients have reported vomiting copious amounts of Sputum and feeling improved breathing after 3 sessions of Moxa therapy and Chinese Acupuncture.

Sleep/Stress Therapy

Stress affects us in ways unknown. A lot of us store stress in our muscles, joints and underlying tissues. Unknown to us, this stored stress affects our Sleep patterns, our joint movements and our daily behavior. Releasing this stored stress through monthly massages does the body a lot of good.

During Sleep/ Stress therapy, we identify the areas where the client stores stress in the body. Some clients tend to store Stress in their calves, some others in their jaws, while some others store stress in their neck/shoulder blade muscles. In addition to the areas of Stress, we release other related tissues, as well as employ techniques of Chinese Acupuncture to help improve Sleep quality.

Patients are also taught certain releases which they can do at home to help themselves.

Treatment lasts for an hour.

Abdominal Visceral Therapy

Visceral Manipulation is the manipulation of the internal organs of the body such as the diaphragm, bladder, uterus, liver, and intestines.

Viscera therapy comes under the domain of Physiotherapy. However, we have listed this under Spa services on our website since we employ some of these techniques during our Massage OR Stress Therapy services.

It is a gentle manual therapy that helps release restrictions and unhealthy compensations that cause pain and dysfunction.

Therapist will feel for altered or decreased motion within the viscera, as well as restrictive patterns throughout the body, and increase their mobility and function by releasing adhesions and restrictions. By increasing the mobility and motility of the organs and taking away lines of tension within the body, we can help many dysfunctions and disorders outlined below.

Vertigo and Dizziness Therapy (Vestibular Rehabilitation):

Vestibular Therapy for Vertigo and Dizziness is a branch of Physiotherapy.

We specialize in Vertigo of all Origins.

Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or dizziness. People who experience vertigo may also experience nausea, vomiting, sweating or abnormal eye movement. More severe cases of Vertigo may include symptoms such as double vision, difficulty speaking, a change in alertness, arm/leg weakness or an inability to walk.

We specialize in Vertigo and Dizziness treatment that have the following origins-

Cervical Vertigo- Patients who have Cervical Spondylitis or Higher Cervical pain (C1-C2) tend to often experience a typical kind of Dizziness. This kind of Dizziness can be easily treated so as to prevent recurrent occurrence. Patients are explained about the source of Dizziness through Neck X-rays, and subsequent Physiotherapy treatment is provided to the patient. Unfortunately, patients with Cervical origin Vertigo are given Vertin, Stugeron and Stemetil (standard medications given for Vertigo) which do not help remove Cervical Vertigo symptoms. Patients continue to suffer without knowing the actual cause of their complaints. Cervical Vertigo is easily treatable and avoidable.
BPPV- Some clients complain of Vertigo which originates from the Inner ear. When Calcium Carbonate crystals in the ear dislodge and block Semicircular canals in the inner ear, they lead to a very typical kind of Vertigo which a patient describes as ‘Room spinning’, ‘being thrown backward or forwards’ or ‘body being flung’ feeling. A majority of BPPV can be completely resolved through proper diagnosis. There is no known treatment for Anterior Semicircular Canal BPPV, which is one of the toughest to treat. However, Dr Pinto has worked with some of the pioneers in this field in the USA, to help patients with Anterior canal BPPV. Such patients also temporarily benefit from the use of Vertin, Stemetil, and Stugeron. Relocating the Calcium Carbonate crystals in the inner ear, often helps in completely resolving the different kinds of BPPV.
Other Ear conditions- Certain other Ear conditions also cause Vertigo. Understanding the pathology of the disease often lets us help patients in resolving this kind of Vertigo completely. Sometimes, this kind of Vertigo tends to return, but we equip patients with the tools to help treat themselves at home should such a relapse occur.
Stress-related Vertigo- This Vertigo is often described as a ‘sudden quick push’ that the patient feels in the head. Its brief and quick, and tends to unnerve the patient. This type of Vertigo is observed particularly in women or patients who tend to worry a lot OR have excessive stress and poor sleep.

Temporomandibular joint Therapy (Jaw Joint Treatment)

– The treatment for the Jaw joint is also a branch of Physiotherapy.

– The Jaw joint is one of the most overused and under-treated joints in the human body. It is used 24/7 during talking, eating and breathing. However, patients tend to pay attention to this joint only when it restricts their mouth opening (eg.: after a dental procedure) OR when there is severe pain in the joint (eg.: while eating semi hard foods). We use advanced treatment techniques for treating Jaw Joint conditions that have the following symptoms:

Jaw Clicking sounds,
Jaw Grating/ Locking/ Popping sounds,
Jaw Osteoarthritis,
Restrictions in mouth opening,
Jaw deviation and deflection during mouth opening,
Tinnitus in ear due to the Jaw joint,
Jaw pain and tenderness.

– Unfortunately, most people are not aware that the JAW joint can cause Sinusitis, Headaches, Pain above the eyebrows, Dental sensitivity, Tinnitus, Swallowing pains, Ear fullness, Ear pain, Pain behind the eyeballs and Watering of the eyes. Treating the Jaw joint and centrating it (ensuring that the joint sits in its socket) helps restore proper Biomechanics in the Face, not only improving Facial symmetry but also providing symptomatic relief.
