Frequently Asked Questions


What is an Osteo facial?

A combination of innovative face sculpting massage and Osteopathic techniques working on the face, neck, chest and scalp.

The treatment releases and lifts the facial muscles, sculpting and defining facial contours. It enhances circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and smoothing lines for a rejuvenated, glowing complexion.

How quickly will I see results from an Osteo facial?

Often you will see the results immediately – whether it’s the reduction of fine lines, or less puffiness to reveal a more sculpted jaw line. These changes can last up to a week. For the best results a course of 6-12 session over 2-4 month period is recommended, followed by monthly maintenance sessions, allowing the results to last 6-12 months. 

You will also notice immediately the difference in how you feel - relaxed, restored and rejuvenated.

How many sessions should I have?

This can vary from person to person, and their current lifestyle and age. The recommended course is 6-12 sessions.

Can an Osteo Facial be combined with botox and fillers?

Yes, but please allow 6 weeks after botox and 12 weeks after fillers before having an Osteo Facial.

Should I wash my face and hair before a session?

I can remove all make up before the sculpting begins. It’s best to save washing your hair until after the session as oil is used and the scalp will be worked on. 

Can men have an Osteo Facial?

Yes! We all carry stress and tension in our faces, neck and shoulders. Men will absolutely benefit from this treatment. They will need to have a clean shaven face for an Osteo Facial.
