Not in the traditional sense. While we call it a "facial massage" for ease of understanding, NeoLifting® is actually structural bodywork for the face. Unlike classic facials that focus on cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions, NEOLIFTING® works deeper, targeting facial muscles, fascia, bone attachments, and the nervous system. Think of it more like physical therapy or massage therapy for your face, rather than a spa facial. The goal is structural change and nervous system regulation, not just surface-level skin care.

NeoLifting® isn't a facial in the traditional sense. It's structural bodywork for the face. While classic facials focus on surface-level treatments like cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions, NeoLifting® works much deeper. It engages the muscles, fascia, lymphatic system, and nervous system through specialized techniques like buccal (intraoral) massage, osteopathic work on muscle-bone attachment points, and breathwork. Think of it as massage therapy or physical therapy for your face, rather than a conventional spa treatment.

Buccal massage is an intraoral technique where we work inside the mouth to release deep jaw tension, tone mid-face muscles, and create lifting effects from within. While it's a powerful signature element of NeoLifting® , we understand not everyone is comfortable with intraoral work. This portion is completely optional and can be tailored to your comfort level while still delivering excellent results. We have pricing options if you do not want to include Buccal.

No. NeoLifting® is completely non-invasive, and you can return to your normal activities right after your session. Most clients leave looking refreshed and glowing.

Just like training muscles at the gym, facial muscles need consistent work to create lasting change. The sculpting, lifting, and toning effects of NeoLifting® are cumulative. Each session builds on the last, allowing your muscles, fascia, and lymphatic system to adapt and transform over time. While you'll notice immediate results after your first session, the true transformation unfolds over the complete series.

Yes! If you'd like to experience NeoLifting® first, you can add a 30-minute express version of this treatment to your Jet Plasma facial appointment. This gives you a taste of the technique before committing to the full 6-session series.

A NeoLifting® session includes the face, jawline, optional buccal (intraoral) massage, scalp, neck, and décolleté, making it a true whole-person approach that extends beyond just the face.

Most clients notice reduced puffiness and a radiant glow, but the transformative results build progressively over your 6-session series as your facial muscles and tissues respond to consistent training.

Clients often describe NeoLifting® as deeply relaxing and even meditative. While the massage techniques are firm and intentional, the overall experience is restorative and calming. Some areas, like the buccal massage, may feel unusual at first, but most clients find it soothing and quickly settle into deep relaxation.

Absolutely. NeoLifting® is especially beneficial for releasing chronic jaw tension and addressing TMJ-related discomfort. The combination of external sculpting work and optional buccal massage targets the deep muscles of the jaw, providing significant relief for many clients.

While safe for most people, NeoLifting® may not be appropriate if you've had:

• Recent injectables (botox) or fillers (within 8 weeks)

• Recent facial surgery

• Active skin infections, rosacea flare-ups, or open wounds

• Certain medical conditions (consult with us)

• First or third trimester of pregnancy

If you have a pacemaker or electronic medical device, please consult your healthcare provider before booking. A consultation is required and will help determine if NeoLifting® is right for you.

After your NeoLifting® session:

• Stay well-hydrated (drink plenty of water)

• Avoid heavy makeup for the rest of the day

• Avoid applying facial pressure or aggressive skincare

• Follow any personalized aftercare recommendations we provide

• Use gentle, nourishing skincare to extend your results

The osteopathic work involves addressing muscle attachment points to bone and specific bone sutures in the skull. This deeper structural work helps counteract age-related tissue changes, releases spasmed muscles, and creates a more lasting lift by working with your facial architecture, not just the surface.

Facial posture refers to the balance and alignment of three key horizontal lines: the jawline, cheekbones, and brow line. Over time, muscle tension, gravity, and aging can create asymmetry. NeoLifting® works to restore balance among these three lines, creating natural symmetry and a more youthful structure that respects your unique features.

Absolutely. NeoLifting® is effective for all gender identities.

Each NeoLifting® session at OLIS SKIN is approx 90 minutes. 15 minutes for before photos and getting settled in and 75 minutes for the massage, giving you ample time to fully relax while we work deeply and intentionally through all four technique phases. If you choose to pass on the buccal massage, the massage time is 60 minutes.

Deep breathing activates your lymphatic system and shifts your body into a parasympathetic (rest and restore) state. This relaxation response allows your facial muscles to release tension more effectively, making the deeper sculpting work more impactful. It also creates space for both physical and emotional relief.

Nurse Jen completed an intensive advanced in-person training with the creator of NeoLifting® Facial Sculpting Massage. This comprehensive certification covered precise techniques, facial anatomy, osteopathic principles, and the holistic approach that makes NeoLifting® so transformative.

A consultation ensures NeoLifting® is safe and appropriate for you. During this conversation, we'll discuss:

• Your health history and any contraindications (recent injectables, surgeries, medical conditions, pregnancy)

• Your specific goals and concerns (lifting, jaw tension, stress relief, etc.)

• What to expect during the treatment and how to customize it to your comfort level

• Whether the 6-session series aligns with your timeline and commitment

This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that's both safe and effective, ensuring you get the best possible results from your NeoLifting® experience.
