A renewing massage and Gua Sha technique designed to sculpt + lift the face,
elevated with the TheraFace Depuffing Wand.
The Face is a renewing massage and Gua Sha technique designed to sculpt and lift while supporting natural circulation and lymphatic flow. Through intentional facial movements focused on the jaw, temples and cheeks, this restorative ritual helps relieve built-up tension, reduce puffiness and promote a refreshed, radiant appearance.
The TheraFace Depuffing Wand is thoughtfully woven into the ritual, bringing a soothing blend of heat and cold therapy to help reduce puffiness, refresh tired eyes, and restore a natural glow.
The Oak Essentials Ritual Oil is used to support intentional face massage techniques. This lightweight, nutrient-dense oil provides ideal glide while helping maintain skin balance and barrier integrity.
Oak Essentials Balancing Mist is a fine-mist face spray that is applied at the end of the service. It's a powerful pick-me-up, helping hydrate, soothe, and tone.

Your service opens with a brief consultation and a few deep, aromatherapeutic breaths. Gentle palm pressure helps quiet the mind and settle your nervous system before we begin.
Warm towels and a few drops of lightweight Oak Essentials Ritual Oil prepare the skin, while opening movements along the neck and décolleté ease tension and activate lymphatic flow.
The TheraFace Depuffing Wand glides across the face with a soothing blend of heat and cold therapy to refresh tired eyes, reduce puffiness and restore a natural glow.
Using rose quartz Gua Sha tools, slow upward and outward strokes along the jaw, cheeks, brows and under-eye area support contour, circulation and visible de-puffing.
Intentional manual techniques release built-up tension in the jaw, temples and cheeks — refining lift and definition while keeping you deeply relaxed throughout.
A few spritzes of Oak Essentials Balancing Mist hydrate and tone, leaving skin refreshed, radiant and ready for whatever comes next.
Dani is the best! I had a 25 min Face massage session and he depuffed me!

I recently tried The NOW Massage's new Face service, and it was an absolute game-changer. The 25-minute facial massage was one of the most relaxing experiences I've had — I walked out feeling like a completely different person. What really stood out was how much it helped with my jaw pain. I hadn't expected a face massage to make such a difference, but the tension I'd been carrying just melted away. The oil used during the treatment added such a calming, soothing element to the whole experience. My provider, Isabel, was phenomenal. Her technique was gentle yet effective, and she clearly knows exactly what she's doing. I felt completely at ease from start to finish. If you haven't tried this service yet, do yourself a favor and book it — especially if you deal with jaw tension or just need some serious relaxation. 10/10, will absolutely be back!

I never had a face massage, so I decided to get one. I work 2 jobs & I'm always frowning at customers who treat employees disrespectfully. I thought my face needs a soothing massage. It was absolutely amazing & I felt relaxed & I even fell asleep Thank you, Priscilla, for doing an amazing job. It was a great experience. I will be back for more face massages.

Brooklyn did a wonderful job! I would come back and get The Face again. It was really calming.

I've never had a face massage before, and I really liked this. As a 'mature' woman, I think this might help some wrinkles and sagging!

I feel so relaxed, my whole eyebrow and forehead area feels like the muscles are lifted and I feel less puffy. The neck massage part was really nice because of the tension I hold there, and I liked the fresh eyes with the hot stone and hot towel at the end. I felt really refreshed and also like I could leave to go somewhere after without having extra oil or anything. Thank you Olivia!

I had such a great experience getting a facial massage from Charles. He was incredibly skilled, attentive, and made the entire session feel relaxing and personalized. I left feeling refreshed, lifted, and glowing. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing—highly recommend!
