At-Home Facial Massage
Give Your Skin a Lift!
By Belinda Clarke
French skin care specialist Catherine Atzen has been at the forefront of skin care technology since she began working with burn victims in France in the early 1980s. As CEO of the skin care company Atzen, she provides anti-aging treatments for women at her flagship location in New York City and in various day spas across the country.
According to Atzen, in her research over the years she recognized that the results achieved by certain techniques and skin care formulations made a noticeable difference in the skin's overall healing process. She determined that some of these solutions could be helpful if offered to individuals with aging and/or weather-damaged skin. It was from this idea that her unique treatments were born, specifically her Lymphobiology® treatments, which use the concept of Lymphatic Drainage Massage to help drastically improve the skin's condition while promoting younger, firmer skin.
According to Atzen, Lymphatic Drainage Massage accelerates the flow of fluid in the lymph ducts, where toxins are collected and eliminated. Using her special facial massage techniques, the skin is better able to purge the toxins resulting from normal cellular metabolism, pollution and stress. The result is a reduction in puffiness, dark circles and even wrinkles. "It's a full cleansing experience for all the layers of the skin," Atzen says.
Of course, not all of us can afford the time and money for such treatments, which is why Atzen has been working on a five-step home treatment that mimics her in-spa Lymphobiology® treatments.
