Cosmecanique

Aestheticians world wide are taught to stimulate facial skin using the le Pince’ de Jacquet method. A nearly 100 year old technique introduced by Dr. Jacquet, a French Dermatologist, consisted of manually squeezing, twisting and kneading the skin. This technique was developed to help combat what Dr. Jacquet labeled as “cutaneous hypotonia” or “skin fatigue”, as well as to treat oily and acne-blemished skin.

Today, the le Pince’ de Jacquet technique has been reinvented and perfected through a technologically advanced device called the Lift 6, or Cosmecanique. Both methods provide increased circulation, stimulation, and relaxation but can differ greatly in the delivery. The Lift 6 technique produces a consistent therapy, without applying excessive pressure, allowing for enhanced results.

Cosmecanique facial massage mechanically stimulates facial skin and its underlying structure like no other treatment can. The process is painless, non-invasive, and tailored precisely to your skin type and sensitivity.

As we age, our skin is subjected to a wide range of external irritants like ultraviolet rays, pollution and free radicals such as pesticides and tobacco to name a few. Because facial skin is the most exposed area of the skin along with the neck, décolleté’ and hands, they tend to prematurely show signs of aging. Tell tale signs include broken capillaries, puffiness, loose skin, fine lines, crows’ feet, wrinkles, dry patches, and dulling complexion. Other contributing factors to premature aging of the skin are gravity, body weight swings, lack of proper hydration and eating an unbalanced diet.

What to do?

Taking charge of your personal well-being by using sunscreen, not smoking, drinking proper amounts of water daily, eating a good mix of natural fruits, vegetables and whole grains can compliment your skin. However, there are still those extrinsic - environmental and intrinsic - genetic factors that challenge us in achieving a youthful appearance. Cosmecanique treatments allow you to naturally exercise the skin, repairing and conditioning the epidermis and dermis. These outer most layers of the skin respond to the mechanical stimulation of the Lift 6, (Cosmecanique), by loosening connective tissue bands, and reducing excess fluids that build up in the tissues. Every inch of the skin is exercised and conditioned by providing intense three-dimensional stimulation.
