From Ancient Hands to Modern Science: Where Face Contouring Really Comes From
Face contouring may feel like a modern beauty buzzword, but its roots run far deeper than you might think. Long before radiofrequency machines and clinical serums, traditional cultures used hands-on techniques to sculpt, lift, and heal the face — not for vanity, but for vitality.
At La Dermalogique, our approach to facial contouring bridges ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science. Through treatments like Tisheng massage and Bojin therapy, we honor time-tested techniques while delivering results powered by today’s technology.
📜 A Quick History of Face Contouring
Ancient China & Korea: Facial gua sha, acupressure, and herbal compresses were used to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and lift features.
Ayurveda & Indian practices: Facial massage with oils helped tone muscles, balance energy, and enhance glow.
Japanese Kobido Massage: Layered, high-speed techniques lifted and energized the skin — much like modern-day Tisheng.
These rituals were grounded in the belief that healthy circulation and muscle tone support both outer beauty and inner balance.
