And what it means for your patients!
Acupressure can serve as a powerful addition to beauty routines, empowering individuals to take an active, easy role in enhancing their appearance and overall well-being. By incorporating this practice regularly, clients can experience the benefits of a holistic approach to skincare, promoting both inner and outer balance.
What is acupressure?
Acupressure, an integral component of Traditional Chinese Medicine, offers a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation and complements the TOMA AcuGlow™ and Microneedling treatments. By applying gentle pressure to specific points on the face and body, acupressure can stimulate blood flow, enhance lymphatic drainage, and promote the natural production of collagen and elastin. These effects contribute to improved skin tone and reduced puffiness achieved through facial services, and can easily be done by clients at home.
What to teach your clients
Clients should be instructed to apply gentle yet firm pressure on these points for 1-2 minutes, once or twice daily. Consistency is key to observing gradual improvements over time.
Instruction on these techniques should emphasize the importance of applying gentle pressure with clean hands, particularly around sensitive areas such as the eyes. Less is more when it comes to intensity and hand-bacteria!

Why acupressure?
At TOMA, we, like many of you, live at the intersection between health and beauty. When we realized the impact acupressure can have on facial services, it was too good not to share! Keep in mind that your patients don’t live in the same world of pressure points as we do. To prevent overwhelm, encourage them to start with just a few. Within a few weeks of consistent practice, they’ll feel better, see their facial results more clearly, and - as an added bonus - think of you during their daily acupressure session.
