BIODROGA CRYSTAL Energising Facial is a vitalising massage that promises succour for all skin types and for general health itself.

Therapists claim the potent massage will nourish, restore moisture and oxygenate every type of skin. Says Mark Monsod, the Health Club and Spa Manager at Shangri-La: The Facial by Biodroga is a totally blissful skin treatment to activate and improve the skin’s collagen fiber network, renewing skin textures and resulting in a more radiant healthy glow.

A gentle massage with quartz wands using appropriate blends of plant extracts and sea minerals promises to decongest and soothe your skin, to restructure, replenish and stimulate dormant functions of ageing skin and improve its elasticity and restore its firmness. The twin aquamarine wands used for the purpose, it is claimed, have the effect of harmonising and calming the skin and eliminating signs of fatigue. This occurs due to the energy pressure points of the face and neck-throat area that get gently stimulated during the facial. Blocks are cleared and microcirculation is activated.

Quartz crystals in general and aquamarine in particular, therapists believe have the ability to amplify the positive and alter the negative energies in our body.

Aquamarine it is said helps purify the throat and helps alleviate sore throat. It enables the cleansing organs of the body, liver, spleen, kidneys and thyroid, to expel waste besides alleviating several problems associated with the neck, jaws, digestive tract, eyes and the oral cavity. Aquamarine is believed to be helpful in alleviating symptoms of allergy, no matter what the form of allergen.

Prior to beginning therapy, the therapist first evaluates the skin type and accordingly selects the most appropriate Biodroga product suited to the skin. Following skin analysis, cleansing of the face is done. The facial massage lasts 1 hour 20 minutes and combines physical healing with emotional and spiritual upliftment in treating individuals. The twin aquamarine sticks that come in standard size are gently applied in a circular motion, to eighteen acupressure points in the face: pressure points located at the centre of the forehead, a finger-width above the bridge of the nose; a finger-width above the highest point of the eyebrows; at the inner corners of the eyes; at the temples; at the points directly beneath the outer corner of the eyes; adjacent to the sides of the nose; adjacent to the corners of the mouth; at the centre of the chin; next to the jawbone below the earlobes and at the sides of the larynx. Each of these pressure points relates to a certain sphere of activity, thus harmonising into a wholesome equilibrium.

Most often, the relaxing effects are felt even while undergoing treatment as the blockages get removed and there is a free flow of “Chi”, the universal life force that governs wellbeing and vitality. The acupressure treatment is followed by a lymphatic drainage to detoxify the facial skin tissues. Biodroga applications are plant-based German products from the house of Baden-Baden.

Ideally, a facial needs to be repeated every two weeks to maintain equilibrium. However, the frequency of treatment depends on the nature of the skin and job profile of the individual. For instance, for someone living in and out of suitcases, frequent periodic treatment would be beneficial.

Aquamarine is believed to be a courage booster and stress buster because of the calming and soothing effect it has on the body. It does this by enabling individuals to unleash their subdued or suppressed creativity and emotions to beneficial effect. Though the massage is essentially a facial, it has far reaching consequences for the entire body, says Mike …Besides helping to alleviate conditions of sore throat, it serves to strengthen the immune system and enables the body’s cleansing organs to throw out toxic waste.

Biodroga Crystal Energizing Facial is a safe therapy with no reactions being documented so far, assures Mike. However, it is important not to wash the face post therapy until the following morning. This is to allow the face time to absorb all the beneficial effects from treatment. Rehydrating the self is very important and therefore individuals are advised to drink plenty of water to flush out toxins. In fact, it is advised to drink warm water immediately after therapy session, to enhance blood circulation. All facial products, exfoliants that the individual may have been using prior to the therapy, should not be used at least for 24 hours following the therapy. Even after this period of time, one may not need to use much of these agents since the therapy undertaken periodically will keep the skin and system in proper balance. Crystal Energizing Therapy is however, not undertaken in individuals suffering skin conditions on the face.
