Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system—a vital part of the immune and detoxification processes. Because the lymphatic system has no central pump, it relies on movement and light touch to circulate. MLD encourages this flow, helping to clear stagnation, reduce fluid retention, and support the skin's natural ability to detoxify and heal.

In facial treatments, MLD offers a wide range of benefits:

• Reduces puffiness and inflammation, especially around the eyes and cheeks

• Detoxifies and clarifies the skin by encouraging the removal of waste and toxins

• Improves tone and texture by enhancing nutrient delivery and circulation

• Calms the nervous system, inviting deep relaxation and helping to soothe reactive skin

• Supports immune function, contributing to a clearer, more resilient complexion

MLD is especially supportive if you are experiencing sensitive, congested, or inflamed skin—or anyone seeking a dewy, sculpted glow. This subtle yet powerful technique invites balance and radiance from within.

Buccal massage is an intraoral facial technique that works from inside the mouth to release deeply held tension in the jaw, cheeks, and lower face. By accessing muscles that can’t be reached externally, this gentle yet transformative approach supports facial balance, lymphatic flow, and nervous system regulation—without aggressive manipulation.

Benefits include:

• Release of chronic jaw and facial tension
• Softening of lines around the mouth and lower face
• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Enhanced facial symmetry and natural sculpting
• Support for stress relief and nervous system calming

Why It Works:
The face holds patterns of stress, emotion, and overuse—particularly in the jaw and mouth. Buccal massage helps unwind these patterns at their source, allowing the face to soften, lift, and rebalance naturally over time. When integrated into a slow, sculpting facial, it becomes a powerful tool for well-aging, relaxation, and deeper facial harmony.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses clinically proven wavelengths of light to activate the skin’s natural healing responses at a cellular level. Safe and deeply therapeutic, it enhances both the appearance and health of the skin—without irritation or downtime.

Facial cupping is a gentle, therapeutic technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses small, soft cups to lift and massage the skin. Unlike body cupping, which often leaves marks, facial cupping is light, soothing, and designed to support healthy skin function and natural radiance.

Benefits:

Stimulates Circulation & Oxygen Flow
Facial cupping increases blood flow to the skin, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery. This revitalizes the complexion, encourages a natural glow, and supports healthy skin cell turnover.

Lymphatic Drainage & Detoxification
The suction created by the cups encourages lymphatic flow, helping to reduce puffiness, clear congestion, and support the body’s natural detox pathways—leaving skin clearer and more sculpted.

Lifts & Sculpts the Face
Regular facial cupping can help tone the muscles and lift the contours of the face, promoting a firmer appearance, especially around the jawline, cheeks, and brow.

Improves Product Absorption
By increasing circulation and gently stimulating the skin, facial cupping enhances the absorption of serums and active ingredients, boosting the effectiveness of your skincare.

Reduces Fine Lines & Tension
The light suction helps soften tension in facial muscles—particularly around the forehead, brows, and jaw—smoothing the appearance of fine lines caused by stress or expression.

Calms the Nervous System
The rhythmic, flowing movement of the cups creates a deeply relaxing experience, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

Why It Works:
Facial cupping works by creating a gentle vacuum that lifts the skin and underlying tissues. This stimulates circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, and supports the skin’s natural detox and repair processes. The technique energizes the skin while relieving deep-seated tension, helping to rebalance and rejuvenate both the skin and the nervous system.

Facial Cupping in Treatments:
Facial cupping may be thoughtfully integrated into holistic facials at Marma to enhance skin vitality, contour the face, and promote lasting glow. It pairs beautifully with marma point therapy or sound healing to deeply nourish both skin and spirit.

The Kansa Wand is a traditional Ayurvedic healing tool made from a sacred blend of copper, tin, and zinc—metals revered for their ability to balance energy and promote wellness. When used in facial massage, the wand becomes a conduit for circulation, detoxification, and deep relaxation.

Benefits of Kansa Wand Therapy

• Improves circulation: Gently gliding the wand over the skin stimulates blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissues—resulting in a more radiant, healthy glow.

• Supports lymphatic drainage: The massage technique encourages lymph flow, reducing puffiness (especially around the eyes and jawline) and helping sculpt and define the facial contours.

• Balances skin’s pH: Thanks to its metal composition, the Kansa Wand naturally helps restore the skin’s optimal pH, calming irritation and promoting clarity.

• Reduces inflammation: The wand’s smooth, cool surface has a calming effect on the skin, soothing redness and minimizing sensitivity.

• Releases muscular tension: Many of us unknowingly hold tension in the face—especially in the jaw, brow, and forehead. Kansa massage helps soften expression lines by relaxing these muscles.

• Enhances radiance: With regular use, the wand revives dull or fatigued skin, leaving it visibly brighter, softer, and more rejuvenated.

Why It Works
In Ayurveda, beauty and vitality are seen as reflections of balance within. The Kansa Wand harmonizes prana (life force energy) while offering tangible skincare benefits. Its ability to connect the energetic and physical body makes it a powerful tool in holistic facials—stimulating detoxification, calming the nervous system, and restoring a luminous, centered glow.

• Lifted & Sculpted Appearance: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting a firmer, more lifted look over time.

Why It Works
